Erotic Massage: Asexual Sensuality and Purposeful Relaxation
Erotic massage is a slowly growing form of therapeutic physical contact that allows two (or more) people to share and explore heightened levels of sensual pleasure and relaxation without the need for sexual intercourse or other explicit sexual contact. It bridges the gap between the power of physical intimacy, sensuality and creativity with the need for emotional and physical wellbeing. This is an experiential and physical practice that, while sensual, is completely asexual and non-sexual.
When done well, erotic massage allows for a profoundly sensual experience while allowing both people to shape and direct a shared physical exchange that can be intimate, playful, therapeutic, and most definitely pleasurable. Though it’s not a common topic of discussion on sex and relationships, it can be the missing link to the most deeply satisfying physical and emotional connection.
Erotic massage is typically conducted on a massage table in a dimly lit space, often with calming music playing. Both people in the massage space need to be comfortable, relaxed and in trust of each other to ensure that the massage is as safe, fulfilling, and enjoyable for both. Usually the massage will begin with the individual (or the giver) touching around the body of the recipient in a relaxing manner in order to connect on a emotional level. The hands, head, torso, and extremities are typically attended to, though there are no “rules” that dictate how this should be done. The focus of the massage will then slowly be changed to areas that are more erotically charged, such as the breasts and genital area.
The point of erotic massage is to tantalize and tease the senses and desires, but not necessarily to reach a point of orgasm. Instead, this type of massage concentrates on taking the recipient on a long and tantalizing journey of sensation. It allows them to explore physical pleasure in an environment and way that they wouldn’t usually. Being in the safe hands of a trusted partner can offer an emotionally healing and liberating experience, and give them a feeling of being cherished and appreciated.
The main difference between a regular massage and an erotic massage is the intention. Erotic massage aims to awaken a sense of arousal and physical pleasure that is often unaffected during standard massage. It is designed to help explore the inner sensual elements of the many levels of the body, while still maintaining a respectable and non-sexual atmosphere. It can be used as a tool to increase libido, and also a fantastic form of foreplay for both men and women.
There is a wide array of techniques that can be used during erotic massage sessions, ranging from light tickles, teasing caresses and licks, gentle scratches and massage strokes. Another common technique is tantric massage, a blend of traditional massage techniques combined with elements of tantric spirituality. The main focus of this type of massage is on spiritual journey and energyChanneling. Through breathing and body movement, it seeks to create an effect of sexual and healing energy exchange.
For many people, erotic massage can become an important part of their sexual lives and relationship if done responsibly and with consideration, honesty and sensitivity. If you are interested in exploring the potential of erotic massage, it is important to communicate your wishes and intention clearly with your partner to ensure that all concerned can experience pleasure in a safe and nurturing environment. Not only can erotic massage be a very intimate and rewarding experience for both parties, it can also be an effective way to relieve pain and improve sexual performance.
So, why not try out this asexual sensual experience for yourself and your partner? Erotic massage can be a powerful tool for permission, communication, healing, relaxation, self-confidence, and creativity. Just remember to be mindful and respectful, and the possibilities are endless.
