What is Erotic Massage?
Massages are a popular way of relaxing, reviving and healing the human body through physical contact.
There are many types and techniques of massage, including Thai Massage, Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Shiatsu Massage. Generally, there is nothing sexual about these massages.
However, massages can also have a sexual component. These types of massages can be called by many different terms, but ultimately refer to the same thing:
- Erotic massage
- Sensual massage
- Sexual massage
- Adult massage
- Tantric massage
- Happy-ending massage
What are adult sensual massages?
Also known as erotic massages, adult sensual massages are often based around Tantra, an Indian practice that dates back more than 5,000 years. Although often synonymous with sex, Tantra is really about intense human connection between two people. Hindus believe there is a clear difference between sexual and sensual. In Sanskrit, the word Tantra means ‘woven together’.
Adult sensual massages use traditional massage techniques alongside more intimate and arousing techniques, to focus simultaneously on both muscle relaxation and sexual excitement.
There are many types of erotic massages, however they all share the commonality of building up sexual energy through intimate touch throughout the massage, with the aim of finishing with the recipient having an intense orgasm.
For the majority of erotic massages, the receiver does not physically interact with the giver. The receiver is expected to surrender their body to the giver, allowing the sexual energy to build and simply to enjoy the sensations, feelings and emotions that comes with it.
Sensual massages are about enhancing feelings of well-being, often associated with deep relaxation, and can help the receiver resolve many psychological issues. For this reason, erotic massages are sometimes used in therapy, especially to help overcome sexual trauma, erectile disfunction, or relationship issues.
What is the difference between a normal massage and an erotic massage?
Normal Massage
In a normal massage, intimate areas such as the groin area are not touched, unless the receiver needs specific work or stretching there and requests it. The genitals are never included in a professional therapeutic massage session.
Massages can be both for healing the body, such as a physiotherapist helping to stimulate injured muscles so they work properly again, or for pleasure by indulging the recipient in a state of relaxation.
In a normal massage the masseuse or masseur will usually be fully clothed. The recipient may have their intimate areas covered by underwear or a towel.
Erotic Massage
Erotic massages focus on integrating the techniques and benefits of normal massages, with physical touch to create sexual arousal and pleasure the recipient to achieve orgasm.
Erotic massages usually consist of a happy-ending, the main sexual act of the massage. This is usually a hand-job, but could also include fingering, oral sex or even sexual intercourse.
In the majority of erotic massages the masseuse will either be in lingerie, a bikini, or completely naked. The recipient will be naked.

What happens during a sexual massage?
An erotic massage usually starts with a shower, either alone or with the masseuse. This not only ensures you are clean and hygienic for your masseuse, who will be rubbing her naked body over yours, but it also helps you to feel fresh and remove any negative emotions before the session.
You will likely be asked to lie face down on a bed, or similar platform, naked without any towels covering you. The masseuse, who will also be completely naked, will then start to slowly massage you.
Massage oil will likely be used as she uses professional techniques to ensure your complete relaxation. Once relaxed, she’ll cover her breasts in oil and rub her whole body over yours. In many erotic massage parlors there will be mirrors so you can watch what is happening.
The masseuse will then ask you to turn over onto your back. She will then continue the massage on your front, using her breasts to massage your torso. Her hands will eventually reach down to your groin, as she uses oils to help her lovingly stroke your penis.
You will likely experience two conflicting feelings – extreme relaxation and extreme excitement. As the masseuse continues stroking you, using her body, hands and oils to enhance your senses, the experience ends in a powerful orgasm.
What do erotic massages feel like?
A sensual massage that focuses on the whole body, including your intimate areas, gives an incredible head-to-toe relaxation experience that’s completely unique. The masseuse’s body weight is used on both your back and front, putting significant pressure on your joints.
When done correctly, erotic massages completely relax every muscle in your body, releasing all stress and tension. The sight of the beautiful naked masseuse stimulates the mind, whilst the skin-on-skin contact creates a warmth of connection to the masseuse and heightens your senses as you are overwhelmed by feelings.
The build up in a sensual massage is not only physical but also mental. A good erotic masseuse knows how to keep you on edge, ensuring you only ejaculate at the end of the massage. You really do experience complete release with an orgasm which is unparalleled to sexual intercourse.
The constant mental fight between relaxation and sexual stimulation results in a thrilling experience which will have you addicted and coming back for more.
What are the different types of erotic massage?
The term ‘erotic massage’ can encapsulate many things, from a structured massage with a professional, to sexual foreplay with a partner. However, here are 8 of the most common different types of adult erotic massage:
Body to Body Massage
The most popular type of erotic massage is the body to body massage, also known as tantra massage. The masseuse will use her naked body to massage the recipient, including spreading the massage oil with her breasts. The massage will usually end in a hand-job to completion.
Soapy Massage
Popular in Asian countries such as Thailand and Japan, the recipient surrenders himself to the masseuse who proceeds to bathe him, usually in a large bath tub with plenty of bubbles, before using her whole body to massage him. Depending on the location and venue, this massage type is likely to end in sexual intercourse.
Nuru Massage
Similar to the body-to-body massage, except instead of using massage oils on the recipient, a very slippery substance called Nuru Gel is used. Both the receiver and giver cover themselves in the Nuru Gel, which eliminates any friction, allowing the masseuse to easily slide over every inch of the recipient.
Lingam Massage
A lingam massage purely focuses on the penis, testicles and perineum (the area between the anus and genitals). Lingam massages are designed to be so much more than simply a handjob, but rather a session of penis worship. The penis will be massaged and stroked to bring the man multiple waves of pleasure throughout, ending in an intense orgasm.
Mutual Massage
Whilst most tantric massages insist the recipient does not actively participate in the massage, but rather relaxes and enjoys the sensations, a mutual massage encourages participation. In a mutual massage you can also massage the masseuse.
Spanish Massage
The Spanish Massage is similar to the body-to-body erotic massage, but instead of the masseuse giving the recipient a hand-job to finish, the masseuse uses her breasts to stimulate the penis, making the male recipient ejaculate between the lady’s breasts.
Greek Massage
In an erotic Greek Massage the masseuse will perform an intense massage on the recipient’s bottom. If desired, the masseuse will insert a finger and/or dildo into your anus.
Four Hand Massage
A four hand massage is usually a body to body massage that’s performed by two ladies at once. With four hands on the recipient’s body at once, all parts of the body can be touched at once, putting the man’s senses into overdrive and bringing significant pleasure.
What are erotic massage parlors like?
Have you ever wondered what it’s like inside an erotic massage parlor which specially caters towards adult sexual services?
The atmosphere of a massage shop plays an extremely important role in an erotic massage session, ensuring the client is completely relaxed. Therefore massage parlors are often very luxurious inside, with dim lighting, comfortable seating, incense, and soft sensual music playing throughout.
Everything about an erotic massage parlor is to immerse the client in a world of relaxation, ensuring that he is free to only focus on his senses which are being stimulated during the massage.
In many adult massage parlors, the clients are kept away from each other for discretion. For this reason, it can be required to make appointments and/or wait outside until a member of staff can welcome you into the premises. Waiting rooms are often private for each individual client. The masseuse is usually clothed, or wrapped in a towel, until the session has been discussed, paid for and officially starts.
Are sexual massage services legal?
Whether or not a sexual massage service is legal depends on country’s prostitution laws.
Sexual massages are legal in some countries, such as Germany. In these countries businesses can openly advertise their services and make it clear what clients can expect.
Sexual massages are illegal in some countries, such as the United States. This is because some prostitution laws state that touching genitals for money is illegal, which would therefore include erotic massage services. In these countries massage parlors cannot advertise sexual services, however happy-ending massages are still requested and might be accepted at certain venues.
Sexual massages are a legal grey area in many other countries, such as the United Kingdom. Erotic massage services in legal grey area countries will not openly advertise sexual services, however they may advertise tantric massage services which is essentially the same thing. Tantric massage is used to circumvent legal repercussions, because it can be argued that tantra is not a sexual massage but a sensual massage, and also includes breathing exercises, mandala visualizations and spiritual education.
In the vast majority of places, there is no official licensing to become a qualified tantric massage practitioner, meaning service quality can be hit and miss. When searching for an erotic massage service outside of a legal country you may have a bad experience with no option of recourse. Sexual massage services in legal countries are supported by reputation, permanent staff and a loyal customer base, which can be a better bet for people.
What are the benefits of erotic massage?
A major benefit of having an erotic massage is increased mood. To be put in a state of deep relaxation whilst your achy muscles are massaged, and then being sexually caressed by a beautiful naked lady which results in a prolonged and intense orgasm… how could you be sad after that?!
Another benefit of erotic massages, and a reason they are used as a specialist form of therapy, is enhancing sexual function and helping people to resolve their intimacy issues.
5 tips for getting an erotic massage
1. Be Clean
An erotic massage is highly intimate and a masseuse will be using her naked body to relax yours. She will be focusing on every part of you, every little crook, from your toes to your neck. Therefore it’s important to be considerate and ensure you are totally clean and hygienic, beyond the shower you’ll receive at the start of the session. It is not only embarrassing if the lady is disgusted by you, but could also result in service being declined.
- Clip and clean your finger nails
- Clip and clean your toe nails
- Clean your teeth
- Check your bum’s totally clean
- Properly clean your penis
2. Shave!
Erotic massages use oils to help enhance the massage and ensure the lady can slip over you without any problems. However, massage oil can be soaked up by body hair. If you are particularly hairy you should consider shaving to make the experience more pleasurable for yourself. You will likely not have a very good time if there is physical friction between you and the masseuse.
It can also be a good idea to trim your pubic hair if you have a particularly wild bush. Your masseuse will be spending a lot of focus there, and by making it more pleasant for her she’ll be more inclined to do a good job.
3. Eat First
There’s nothing less romantic than your stomach growling in a quiet room when a beautiful naked lady is giving you a massage or hand-job. Making sure you have eaten is a good way to prevent any unwanted noises. Not being hungry also ensures you can focus purely on the massage.
If you get thirsty before or during your massage it’s very likely the venue will provide you with a complimentary drink, just ask.
4. Turn Off Your Phone
You will likely remove and keep your clothes in the same room as your massage. It is therefore recommended to turn off your phone during your session – nothing worse than your phone ringing when you’re deep in a relaxing trance.
5. Bring Cash
Most erotic massage parlors and masseuses will often prefer cash payments. Where bank cards are accepted there may be additional charges. Not using bank cards also helps with client discretion, which is usually a major concern of users of adult massage services.
