Tantric massage is an energetic massage for letting go.
Tantric massage has been likened to erotic massage in that it's a full-body massage, including the sexual organs. But the reason for massaging the sexual area in tantric massage is very different from that of erotic massage.
Tantric massage of the sexual area is called "lingam massage" for men, and "yoni massage" for women.
A Tantric massage normally lasts between 1 hour 30 and 3 hours, as it takes time to open up the energy flow.
Shorter massages are therefore not tantric.
The one-hour massage is often called a " Tantric-inspired massage", or " Discovery massage", because although its duration is shorter than that recommended for a Tantric massage, it allows the person being massaged to see if this particular touch is right for them.
The 30-minute massage has nothing to do with Tantra.
It's purely a pleasure massage.
In Tantric massage, the aim is to circulate sexual energy throughout the body, while in erotic massage it's to release sexual tension, sometimes quickly.
Tantra is much more than about sex, it's about energy and healing.
In a Tantric context, healing and spiritual awakening are very pleasurable, because when we heal energetically, our bodies open up to experience pleasure.
What is an erotic massage?
Erotic massages, whether they're called sensual massages, or eroticized naturist massages, often include what's commonly known as a "happy ending ", i.e. an ejaculation.
It can also include an intensive body-to-body massage.
This means that, after a relaxing full-body massage, the masseuse gives you an active sexual massage with orgasm.
It's a relaxing experience that allows sexual release in a comfortable and safe environment.
A simple erotic massage can be a great stress reliever, giving you the pampering and relaxation you're looking for in someone else's hands.
Now that I've mentioned body-to-body massage, I feel it's important to point out that in tantric massage it's also possible to massage with all parts of the body (essentially on the floor), while always respecting the main characteristic of tantric massage, namely "slowness".
To sum up...
- In tantric massage, the massage of the sexual zones is a genuine massage using special techniques.
- In erotic massage, massage of the sexual zones is replaced by masturbation (a finishing touch).
- The aim of tantric massage is not liberation.
- The aim of erotic massage is liberation.
- Tantric massage circulates sexual energy (kundalini) throughout the body, erotic massage does not.
