Sensual & Erotic Massage Glossary: What Do the Different Massage Terms Mean?

In your search for erotic massage in London, there may be many varieties of terms used like erotic massage, tantric massage, sensual massage, nude massage, body-to-body massage, nuru massage and lingam massage.

It may be difficult to understand because the variety of these terms gives the impression that you are selecting one totally different kind of massage.

The simplest way to understand all this would be to begin with the most general term, which is erotic massage.

Erotic Massage Is the Umbrella Term

Erotic massage is the general term which encompasses the various terms which have been coined to describe this type of massage experience.

Tantric, sensual, naked, and body-to-body massage are just some of the various ways of describing the same basic type of experience, with each term focusing on a specific element of the massage experience.

Here at Elite Tantric London, we offer body-to-body massages, where both partners are nude.

Therefore, when you come across terms like tantric, sensual, naked or body-to-body, you should not immediately think that they are entirely different types of massages.

The difference lies in the description of the massage experience.

Tantric, Sensual, Naked, and Body-to-Body

There is much overlap between these four terms.

Tantric relates to the technique that emphasises slow and mindful touching.

Sensual refers to the intimacy and sensory experience of the massage.

Naked refers to the totally nude style.

Body-to-body refers to the technique of massaging by making body-to-body contact.

In real life, all of these terms could refer to one massage experience.

For instance, it would be accurate to describe an experience as a tantric, sensual, naked body-to-body massage.

They are not necessarily four separate massages. These terms are just descriptions of different aspects of one experience.

Where Does Nuru Fit In?

It uses the same basic concept of body-to-body massage, but it generates a totally different feeling due to the application of the special product.

Nuru massage is known for the application of special Nuru seaweed gel rather than the massage oils that are normally applied for tantric, sensual and naked massages.

The application of gel produces a very different feeling and helps make the body-to-body massage more smooth and fluid.

Therefore, the simplest way to differentiate between the two is by saying that:

Erotic massage with oils:

Tantric • Sensual • Naked • Body-to-body

Nuru massage:

Body-to-body massage with special nuru gel

Therefore, Nuru massage falls under the broader category of erotic massage but with a totally different experience because of the Nuru gel.

What About Lingam Massage?

The unique aspect about lingam massage is that it is exclusively meant for men and emphasises on their intimate parts.

Even though the other terminologies like tantric massage, sensual massage, naked massage, and nuru are applicable in a general context, lingam massage is very specific.

Lingam is derived from the word tantric massage and is used nowadays in massages to denote the intimate parts of the males.

So, lingam massage can be done alone or even within the framework of a tantric massage session.

What is Aqua Massage?

Aqua Massage is one more term that may lead to some misunderstanding because Aqua Massage is not the name of a different massage technique.

This technique is just an option that can be added to the chosen erotic massage sessions.

Aqua Massage is performed at the very beginning of the procedure, prior to the main body-to-body massage.

This option can be added to the tantric, Nuru or lingam massages, depending on which session was chosen by you.

Thus, in contrast to tantric, sensual, naked, body-to-body, nuru and lingam techniques, Aqua refers to the addition to the main massage session.

A Simple Erotic Massage Glossary

Here is the easiest way to understand the terminology:

Term	What it describes
Erotic Massage	The umbrella term covering these intimate massage experiences
Tantric Massage	The slower, mindful and flowing style
Sensual Massage	The sensual and intimate nature of the experience
Naked Massage	The fully nude format
Body-to-Body Massage	The full-body contact used during the massage
Nuru Massage	A body-to-body experience using specialised Nuru seaweed-based gel
Lingam Massage	A male-focused massage concentrating on the male intimate areas
Aqua Massage	An optional add-on performed at the beginning before the main massage

Why Use Different Words by Massage Therapists?

It is necessary due to the fact that the clientele makes their searches using various keywords.

Someone will be looking for “erotic massage London”, someone will look for “tantric massage London” or someone will be searching for “naked massage”, “sensual massage”, “body-to-body massage” or “Nuru massage”.

And all those searches could bring them to almost identical experience.

That’s why it is better to know the terminology than think that every single keyword is used for some entirely different service.

The Main Difference to Remember

There are three key elements to comprehend.

Firstly, erotic massage is the general name for all.

Secondly, tantric, sensual, naked and body-to-body are terms that can be used to describe one and the same fully nude body-to-body massage session from various perspectives.

Thirdly, nuru and lingam have their specific features.

The nuru massage is unique in using the specific nuru gel, which provides a different body-to-body massage experience.

The lingam massage is a special type created for men and targeting their intimate zones.

Aqua is separate again because it is an optional addition at the beginning of a session rather than a massage style.

Once you understand these distinctions, the terminology becomes much simpler.

Instead of thinking that every name represents a completely different massage, think of erotic massage as the umbrella, with different terms describing the style, format or specific focus of the experience.

And the aqua massage is another distinct one because it is an optional part of the massage session at the beginning.
