Tantric massage and tantra massage
Similarities and differences between the most searched-for massages
They are often confused in everyday usage, but they are not synonyms
The perennial question from anyone who has not yet visited a tantra massage centre in Milan is: what is the difference between tantra massage and tantric massage?
Today I will try to answer this question as simply as possible, so that from now on you can understand clearly. They should not be confused.
Similarities between a tantric massage and a tantra massage
● Sensual massages performed over the entire body.
● Both aim to relax the muscles.
● Both massages touch the sacred genital areas: the Lingam in men and the Yoni in women.
● Both massages aim to overcome culturally rooted sexual blocks.
● These massages enhance imagination and sexual energy, as in the specific case of mystical sensitive massage.
As you can see, although the similarities are few, they make the two massages easy to confuse. Especially when the word tantra is associated exclusively, or almost exclusively, with sex, stripping away its spiritual and emotional essence.
Differences between tantric massage and tantra massage
1) Tantra massage
Beyond sexual pleasure, tantra massage aims to prolong female orgasm or male ejaculation. You will often hear these mentioned alongside the phrase "happy ending," which refers to manual stimulation to reach climax.
This is a massage our society needs. We live in a society where sexual repression still prevails, where the evident limitations of monogamy damage couples, and where fear of what others will say or think makes us repressed and dissatisfied. This, and much more, increases perversions, personal insecurities and intolerance toward different sexual inclinations and preferences.
In Italy, sex education is still very poor, and the prevailing mentality suggests that enjoying sex and sexual pleasure is synonymous with indecency and debauchery. This means many people do not dare fully explore their sexuality freely and consciously, in a healthy and satisfying way. And if they do, they experience more or less conscious feelings of guilt.
This is the main reason many people still need to explore this more physical aspect of their sexuality: to free their desires and fantasies and shed all shame, taboos, fears and mistaken beliefs.
In this context, tantra massage fulfils this social mission very well.
2) Tantric massage
There are fundamental characteristics that allow a massage to be defined as tantric and clearly distinguish it from tantra massage.
Tantric massage follows a ritual that awakens sexual energy and distributes it throughout the nervous system. It channels this energy through the central Sushumna channel, purifying the body's energy channels and harmonising the chakras.
In any case, the aim of tantric massage is never pleasure for its own sake; rather, it is a means of awakening sensuality, sensitivity and the senses.
What makes a tantric massage special is the use and channeling of sexual energy; this is the key to reaching a different state of consciousness through sexual joy.
The goal is not to reach clitoral or vaginal orgasm or ejaculation, but if it happens, it is accepted. When climax is reached, the person experiences it in full and complete connection with their innermost divine essence.
Everyone is different, and tantra massage does not always need to include the genitals to awaken awareness. Stimulation of the Lingam or Yoni depends on the sensitivity and needs of the person receiving the massage.
A fundamental aspect of Tantra is breathing through the mouth or nose during massage. The purpose of breathing is to anchor the body and help expand inner energy, creating a state of deep relaxation.
Breathing helps us stay present and fully aware of our bodies. It helps not only the person receiving the massage but also the tantric massage therapist performing it.
Touching or being touched implies no special intention other than connecting the heart with divine love. In this way, the massage therapist escapes any moralistic belief that might interfere with the session.
Finally, the technique and skill used are important, especially when massaging the Yoni or Lingam. Yet technique alone does not make a good tantric massage practitioner; there is much more behind it. Technique without heart is useless. It is not about mechanically following rigid, structured steps, but about creating an intimate, loving and spiritual connection between the person giving the massage and the person receiving it.
In short, tantra massage includes tantra massage, but tantra massage does not include tantric massage.
Tantric massage is absolutely magical. Do you dare to try it and discover a new part of yourself that is calling for a truly complete head-to-toe massage?
