Is it a simple massage? Is it sexual? How is it done? Decoding for the curious and the adventurous.
The origins of tantric massage
Heir to Yogic and Taoist traditions, Tantric massage traces its roots back thousands of years to India and China. If you’ve been longing for the exotic, you’ve come to the right place! At the time, this discipline was reserved for a spiritual elite and was part of a philosophy of sexuality very different from our own.
The aim was to achieve enlightenment and fulfillment through meditation and energy stimulation. The body was seen not simply as a tool for pleasure, but as the temple of the soul, to be honored and explored in its entirety. Quite a change from the classic “blow job – doggy style – soda and facial ejaculation”, isn’t it?
Although tantric massage has largely evolved since then, this spiritual and holistic dimension remains at the heart of modern practice. It’s not just a session of cuddling and caressing,” explains tantric masseuse Stéphanie. It’s a deep inner journey, through an intimate connection with oneself and with the other . And having practised it myself, I can confirm her words 100%!
The benefits of tantric massage
Beyond the spiritual dimension, Tantric massage offers many concrete benefits, both physical and psychological:
- Stress and anxiety reduction: slow, enveloping strokes have a soothing effect on the nervous system. You feel soothed, reassured and relaxed. Highly effective.
- Improved blood circulation: fluid maneuvers stimulate microcirculation and oxygenate tissues. You’ll feel yourself loosening up, while remaining slightly tense.
- Renewed energy and vitality: the massage releases muscular tension and encourages the circulation of energy flows. You feel more toned, more dynamic. Your muscles seem to want to show themselves. No, muscles, I said. The penis is a spongy body, not a muscle! You need to know…
- Sexual fulfillment: by reconciling body and mind, Tantric massage allows you to rediscover your potential for pleasure. Your libido is soaring, all your senses are awake. Now you’re ready. Ready. Like Jérôme, 42:
“ Since I’ve been doing Tantric massages regularly, I feel like I’m more in tune with my body and more open to pleasure. My sex life has really benefited! ”
But most important of all is the deep connection that develops between the masseur and the person being massaged. “ It’s a very intimate, almost mystical experience ,” continues Stéphanie. ” You enter a timeless bubble, where nothing else matters but the sensation of the present moment.

How does a tantric massage work?
Okay, this is a bit of a cliché, but at the same time, it’s a reality. So it’s not so cliché. A tantric massage generally takes place in a cocooning setting, with soft music and a subdued atmosphere. The person being massaged is naked or in underwear, lying on a soft futon.
The practitioner begins with a welcoming ritual to establish a climate of trust and serenity. This is followed by a long warm-up, focusing on erogenous zones and acupressure points. And when I say erogenous zones, I don’t necessarily mean private parts or masturbation. If you want to know the right zones to practice onanism, I’ve talked about them in this article in particular. And, as you probably know, there are many erogenous zones on the body other than the private parts. Don’t you…?!
Next comes the central phase, where the caresses become increasingly sensual and intimate. Here, the masseur uses every surface of his body – hands, forearms, chest, thighs – to stimulate every nook and cranny of your skin. There’s something very… sensual and voluptuous about skin-on-skin. You feel all the benefits of a caress all over your body. It’s very pleasant and enveloping.
The aim is not to reach orgasm, but rather to plunge you into a state of voluptuous trance, between excitement and deep relaxation. The sensations become increasingly subtle and invasive, until you become one with the present moment.
Finally, the session ends with a recovery phase, allowing you to “come down gently” and fully savor the benefits of the massage.
Where to practice tantric massage?
In France, tantric massage is still little-known and poorly understood by the general public. Between fantasies and clichés, sometimes confused with theworld of BDSM, it still raises many debates. But more and more trained practitioners are now offering their services, in dedicated spaces or at home.
To find the right person, it’s best to get in touch with specialized schools and associations. Beware, however, as the sector is not regulated, it’s important to check the masseur’s qualifications and experience.
Some high-end hotels, spas and wellness centers also offer tantric massages by reservation. This is a good option if you want to enjoy the experience in a safe, discreet environment.
Whatever your choice, don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have beforehand. Tantric massage is an intimate practice requiring a climate of absolute trust.
