Are There Different Types of Tantric Massage? What Should I Try? (The Real Guide for First-Timers & Curious Couples)

I'll be honest—when I first stumbled across the world of tantric massage in London, my expectations were way off. I thought, "maybe it's a little bit sensual, probably a lot of oil, maybe something spiritual if you're lucky." But I was, frankly, unprepared for just how varied, profound, erotic, and yes—life-changing—a true tantric massage session can be.
So if you've ever typed in tantric massage near me, sensual tantra London, or where can I book couples tantric massage, you're in the right place. Here's the lowdown on what these sessions actually involve, why nobody leaves unchanged, and how to choose the tantric massage that's perfect for you.
So, What Is Tantric Massage Really?
Forget your regular back massages or even most "sensual" massages in London. Tantric massage is an entire world unto itself—a blend of slow, teasing, arousing touch, combined with consciousness-raising breathwork, sensual movement, and energy exchange. It's about tuning your entire body (and mind) to pleasure, sensitivity, and connection.
Depending on your masseuse, and what you're in the mood for, tantric massage can be playful, calming, deeply erotic, or even emotionally cathartic. The best sessions take you on a journey—sometimes meditative and peaceful, sometimes almost unbearably sensual, always profoundly rejuvenating. Some people leave feeling blissed out; others are left aching, breathless, charged for days.
The Different Types of Tantric Massage (And What Each One Feels Like)
1. Full-Body Tantric Massage
Think of this as "tantra 101"—the ideal starting point, whether you're brand new or just want a classic experience. You get those long, slow, oil-rich strokes, skin-on-skin attention, and a rhythm that dances between relaxation and eroticism. Your masseuse isn't just gliding hands over your body—she'll use her own body too, moving with you, breathing in sync, ramping up your senses with intensity and skill.
What's it like? You'll sink rapidly out of your everyday thoughts and into a dreamy, aroused headspace. Touch is alternately feather-light and deep, teasing and grounding. It feels safe, sexy, and totally unhurried.
Is it for me? If you want to try tantra but feel a little nervous, this is your home base. It's sensual without being overwhelming—think "luxury spa with a wicked side."
2. Lingam Massage (For Men)
Let's be real—this is the massage that makes most blokes blush just asking about it. But once you've tried it, you'll understand why it's legendary. The lingam massage (lingam means "wand of light"… yes, that's your penis) is about worshipping masculinity and pleasure in slow-motion.
Your masseuse works not just your penis, but the lower stomach, thighs, perineum, and even—very gently—your prostate if you're down for it. Every movement is deliberate, expert, and teasing; it's about building erotic energy, not rushing to a finish.
What's it like? Orgasms, if and when they happen, can be more intense and full-bodied than anything you've ever experienced. Most men discover new kinds of pleasure, stamina, sensitivity, and control.
Pro tip: You'll probably want to book another appointment as soon as you recover.
3. Yoni Massage (For Women)
Flip the energy for vulva-owning clients. The yoni massage is a deeply sensual, sometimes cathartic ritual that focuses on the labia, vagina, and every inch of your sacred femininity. It's not about performance—it's about gently reclaiming pleasure, trust, and connection.
A caring, professional masseuse will guide you through breathwork, gentle touch, and then progressively focus on deeper, more arousing strokes.
What's it like? Expect a mix of emotional release, sensual surrender, and awakening. For many women, a yoni massage feels both healing and wildly arousing—an experience where they can feel truly safe and adored.
Is it only "sexy"? Not at all. Many women leave glowing, sometimes having had emotional release rather than orgasm. But the permission to just receive is rare and powerful.
4. Couples Tantric Massage
The session that transforms relationships. Whether you both receive a four-hand massage, take turns being watched and touched, or gently join in, a couples tantric session is an intimate, exciting experience you won't soon forget.
What's it like? You might watch your partner being massaged, synchronize your breathing, or get involved under your masseuse's guidance. Touch is erotically charged, playful, and connective.
Couples often leave feeling more deeply in love, open, and aroused. It's the perfect antidote to routine—or the ideal decadent date night.
Pro tip: If you've been in a dry spell or want to break out of a rut, this is a game-changer.
Not Sure What's Right For You? Here's How to Pick
- If you're totally new: Start with the full-body tantric massage. Experience the range of touch, breath, and energy.
- If you want something erotic/sensual: Try the lingam (for men) or yoni (for women) massage. These are slow, skillful explorations of sexual energy with no pressure, no performance, just pure pleasure at your pace.
- If you're a couple: Book the couples session. You'll explore each other in a new way, or just enjoy being pampered together.
- Still feeling anxious? Let your provider know. All top London tantric therapists know exactly how to handle nerves, answer questions, and guide you gently until you feel comfortable.

More Than Just Sex… And That's The True Magic
Yes, tantric massage is arousing—sometimes intensely so. But what truly sets it apart is how it helps you break free from stress, routines, and old habits. You experience surrender. You reconnect with your body. For some, it opens up new mindsets about pleasure, trust, or vulnerability.
No two sessions are the same. You're not expected to orgasm, talk, or perform. The measure of success is how deeply, safely, and pleasurably you lose yourself in sensation.
