Tantric massage and erotic massage are two practices that, although they may appear similar at first glance due to their intimate and sensual nature, have fundamental differences in their objectives, techniques and underlying philosophies. Next, in IndaraZen we will explore in detail each of these massages, and we will see the most important differences between them.
Tantric Massage
Tantric massage originates from tantric practices, which are part of an ancient Indian spiritual tradition. Its main objective is the expansion of consciousness and the integration of body, mind and spirit. Tantric massage seeks to awaken the kundalini energy, considered a powerful vital force that lies dormant at the base of the spine.
What are your techniques and practice? This type of massage uses gentle, meditative techniques, including stroking, gentle pressure and stimulation of energy points on the body. It does not focus exclusively on sexual pleasure, but on creating a deep connection between the giver and the receiver, thus facilitating a meditative state and full presence.
And the objectives: Tantric massage has the ultimate goal of healing and spiritual growth. It seeks to balance and release blocked energy in the body, promoting a state of general well-being and a greater awareness of oneself and one’s surroundings.
Erotic Massage
Unlike tantric massage, erotic massage has no defined origin or spiritual philosophy. The purpose is primarily to provide pleasure and sexual arousal through touch. It focuses on the erogenous zones of the body to increase sexual arousal.
What are your techniques and practice? In erotic massage, techniques that intensify the sensation of pleasure are used, including caresses, massages and rubbing in intimate areas. Although it may include attention and care towards the recipient, its main objective is sexual stimulation.
The main objective of erotic massage is sexual satisfaction. It seeks to awaken desire and provide sexual relief, and may or may not include orgasm as part of the session.
Key differences between the two
- Regarding the objective of the massage: While tantric massage focuses on spiritual healing and expansion of consciousness, erotic massage is oriented towards arousal and sexual pleasure.
- By the technique used: Tantric massage uses gentle, meditative techniques that promote connection and presence, as opposed to the more directly stimulating techniques of erotic massage.
- By its essence: Tantric massage is based on a spiritual philosophy that seeks the integration of the being, while erotic massage focuses on the physical aspect of pleasure.
Although both types of massage may appear similar due to their focus on touch and intimacy, their underlying goals, techniques and philosophies differentiate them significantly. While tantric massage delves into spirituality and healing, erotic massage focuses on pleasure and sexual arousal.
