Tantra massage is not a sexual exchange, but there is a giver and a receiver, where the receiver is supposed to enjoy the massage completely passively. Massage is not sexual intercourse! The client or the receiver of a tantra massage is not a giver. Their duty is to receive the massage and surrender to the rediscovery of senses, feelings and emotions and enjoy the massage completely passively.

Tantra massage incorporates breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness elements.The process combines the feeling of well-being, associated with deep relaxation, as people come to resolve issues related to relationships, self esteem and private sexual life.

Tantra massage is for both men and women. Some forms of tantric massage include the yoni massage (focused on the vulva), the lingam massage (focused on the penis), and massaging the sacred spot (aka the prostate).

A man or a woman can orgasm during a tantra massage, though it's not the goal. The massage is more about leaning into pleasure, releasing energetic blocks and tension, and connecting spiritually with another person.
