This thread is all over the place.
Sex magic is a thing and it's all about raising energy in a specific way. Some folks believe that it's more powerful because of the carnal emotions involved. This ace thinks that it doesn't really matter how you raise the energy, so long as it gets the job done. Masturbation engages the same canal emotions as sex, when you get down to it. The only thing different between masturbation and sex is intimacy. If you don't think it's the basic carnal emotions, then the power is coming from the intimacy and you don't need sex for that.
Book recommendations: Penczaks Temple series is my go to recommendation. I'm fairly confidant in my craft and still not all the way through the series. They take you from the basics to complex spell work.
Public ritual. Yes, this is a thing. I wouldn't consider it performative. Usually public rituals are either educational or intended to gather lots of energy for massive spell work. I've done lots of both. Many public rituals that I've hosted have been through my local CUUPs group. Many of the public rituals I've attended were through pagan festivals.
Psychic vampires: Whether it's real or not is a different discussion. Assuming it's real, vampirism is inherently parasitic. There isn't a good side to it. If your (general you) draining only the bad, that's a heck of a lot of bad you're taking in and making a part of you, which will eventually lead to negative actions on your part.
