What Is Tantra?

Tantra is an old practice that originated in South Asia. It looks into the relationship of the mind, body, consciousness, breathing and energy.

While Tantra is often considered a practice associated with sex, it is just one aspect of a much wider practice. Essentially, Tantra is about presence and learning to be aware of your physical and emotional state.

This focus on awareness is what makes tantric principles so relevant for modern massage techniques.

Instead of trying to go fast through the procedure, tantric massage requires you to slow down, disconnect from the world and connect with your physical sensation.

In some cases, it may just be an intense experience of relaxation. But in other cases, it can be an entirely new experience of massage.

What Is Tantric Massage?

Tantric massage incorporates some of the principles used in Tantra and then applies them in the setting of a massage.

Generally, in most cases, some of the principles incorporated in a tantric massage include slow movement, mindful touches, relaxation, and connection with the therapist.

At Elite Tantric London, the process offered in our tantric massage is a unique one. This is because the therapist will create a setting that will help you have an enjoyable massage without necessarily going through a usual massage process.

Depending on the particular therapist you select for the process, you can expect to have oils used, body work, body to body massages among other processes incorporated. ( Such as a happy ending)

The most important thing is that the tantric massage offered by us is a unique massage rather than a massage with the name “tantric.”

What Makes Tantric Massage Differ from Traditional One?

There is nothing easier than comparing the intention and the experience.

A traditional massage is usually based on the physical health of an individual. A masseuse will use special techniques aimed at relieving muscle tension, usually in the back, shoulders, legs, or neck.

The approach used by tantric massage therapists is holistic.

Some examples of what a traditional massage focuses on are:

• Muscle tension

• Areas of discomfort

• Recovery of the physical body

• Functioning techniques

• Therapy

Examples of what a tantric massage focuses on are:

• Mindful touches

• Total relaxation

• Body awareness

• Flowing movements

• Presence

When it comes to Elite Tantric London, the differences lie not only in the technique used but also in the opportunity to personalise the whole session.

Who Can Try Tantric Massage?

Tantric massage does not cater to just one type of client.

It could work for anyone who is interested in trying out a different approach of massage.

There are some customers that try tantric massage just because they are looking forward to relaxing after a tough week. Other customers may be interested in Tantra, aware of their body, or simply want something different from regular massage.

No prior knowledge of Tantra is required.

Actually, there are a lot of customers that are new to tantric massage when they come to us.

Is Tantric Massage Only for Couples?

No.

Tantric massage is something that can also be done individually.

Many people think of tantric massage as being something for couples to do since it is all about connection. But one does not require a partner to feel good about the elements of touching and relaxing.

Individual tantric massage becomes an occasion when you can solely pay attention to yourself and get rid of all your worries in the world.

Tantric massage for couples becomes an activity that both people can relax through.

Do Men Get Tantric Massage?

Yes, most definitely.

Tantric massage is not limited only to women. Men have also discovered tantric massage as an opportunity to unwind, take a break, and experience body work from a completely different perspective.

In Elite Tantric London, we have our therapists who accommodate men and give different types of massages depending on their speciality.

When booking your first appointment, you can always ask us which therapist will be suitable for the type of massage you desire.

Are There Tantric Massages for Women?

Yes.

Tantric massage for women can be enjoyed if you are looking for some relaxation, body awareness, massage therapy, or just trying something unusual instead of the traditional treatment.

It is possible to adjust the massage to your liking, and selecting the right masseur is an important factor.

Is It Possible to Enjoy the Tantric Massage Together as a Couple?

Of course, it is possible to get a couple's tantric massage arranged and enjoyed by both.

A couple's tantric massage can be a great way for people who want to step out of their usual rhythm of life and spend some special time together in a relaxing environment.

Couples will also have an opportunity to discuss different options and erotic add-ons for a massage when it is being arranged.

If a couple needs something more than that, they may arrange a massage with two therapists.

What Happens on Your First Tantric Massage?

If it is your first time, being aware of the process involved can make your experience that much more pleasant.

Your appointment will start off with a friendly welcome from your masseuse. Normally, there will be some small talk before the massage begins, allowing you to become comfortable and share your expectations for the experience.

Afterwards, the experience itself will be explained to you, and you will have a chance to prepare yourself.

Once the massage itself starts, oil is applied and the experience unfolds through gentle massage motions.

As opposed to changing methods quickly, the process of tantric massage is all about continuity.

During the process, various areas of your body will most likely be massaged, and depending on your desires and preferences, the experience will be altered.

In the end, there is plenty of time for relaxation and dressing up.

What Can You Expect from Your Therapist?

You can expect to be comfortable right from the start.

At Elite Tantric London, we think the personality of your therapist is equally important as their massage technique.

Our therapists are chosen and verified based on their different personalities, looks, background, and specialties in massage.

Some clients want their therapist to be calm and soothing, while others want their therapist to be more talkative and friendly.

Choosing a therapist takes into account not just where the therapy session will be done, but also the therapist's profile, massage technique, experience, and desired atmosphere.

The massage session should be personal.

Oils That Are Used For Tantric Massages?

Warm oils are essential ingredients in most tantric massages.

Oils that could be used by therapists at Elite Tantric London include:

• Grapeseed oil

• Sweet Almond Oil

• Coconut oil

The massage oil enables the therapist to glide smoothly over the body during the massage process.

This is dependent on the type of technique adopted by the therapist.

In case of preference for a specific oil, it would be advisable to communicate before the massage session begins.

Why is a Tantric Massage Done Nude?

This is one of the commonest questions asked by first-time customers.

As an Elite Tantric London clinic, all our unique tantric massage services are nude on both sides – that of the client and the therapist.

The nudity is a characteristic feature of the massage we provide and enables us to deliver an undisturbed body-to-body experience.

It should be known that nudity does not necessarily imply exposure or discomfort.

All the process will be explained to you and given ample time to get ready without anyone around.

If you are new to nude massages, it is only natural to feel some level of nervousness at the beginning. However, most people are relieved of this nervousness when they get accustomed to the surroundings.

What Is Body-to-Body Tantric Massage?

Body-to-body massage refers to the massage where the therapist involves his body in addition to using the hands for massage purposes.

It feels very different compared to the regular massage where the therapists use their hands or any other technique like forearms to perform the massage.

At Elite Tantric London, body-to-body massage is one of the signature styles that we employ.

In this case, the massage moves flow continuously, giving an immersive experience to the clients.

One of the major reasons why clients who have had a traditional massage consider tantric body-to-body massage to be entirely different is because of this.

Is it Possible to Customise a Tantric Massage?

Yes.

One of the key reasons why you should consider a specialist tantric massage company is the option of creating a session that will be personalized for you.

Sometimes customers are interested only in experiencing a tantric massage without any additional procedures.

In other cases, clients would like to add extra experiences to their sessions.

This might include:

• Nuru Massage

• Aqua Massage

• Mutual Touch

• Lingam Massage

• Prostate Massage

• Tie & Tease

• Fantasy Experience

• Two Therapist Massage

It is possible to discuss the opportunities before the session takes place.

There is no need to choose something just because it is offered by the agency.

Tantric Massage vs Nuru Massage

Tantric massage and nuru massage are amongst our best selling services and they are not the same.

The simplest way to differentiate between the two is from the product used.

While Tantric massage usually involves warm massage oils like grapeseed, almond or coconut oil, nuru massage makes use of nuru gel, a specially formulated Japanese seaweed gel that creates a unique slippery glide.

This means the overall experience will be quite different.

While tantric massage usually revolves around warm oils, slow body flow work, mindfulness and relaxation, nuru is specifically famous for its slippery glide.

Some customers have a favorite while others love trying both.
