Hopped off (!) the sex-negative train and ready to begin exploring your sensuality? Join the party. Sensual massage serves as an ideal introduction to doing this in a safe and professional environment. Not only is sensual massage a powerful way to reconnect with your body, explore your desires, and experience pleasure in a deeply intentional way, it is also very good for your health and wellbeing, both physically and emotionally.
These are 6 popular types of sensual massage and their unique benefits.
Full body sensual massage (FBSM)
FBSM is a popular form of sensual massage that involves massaging the entire body, incorporating both therapeutic and erotic elements. The practitioner uses a combination of traditional massage techniques, such as Swedish or deep tissue, while integrating sensual strokes to relax the muscles and stimulate the senses. The session often ends with a release of sexual energy, making it a deeply satisfying experience.
- Benefits:
- Relieves muscle tension
- Focuses on full body relaxation
- Boosts sexual energy and pleasure

Nuru / B2B massage
Originating from Japan, Nuru massage involves the use of a special, slippery gel made from seaweed. Both the masseuse and the client are covered in this gel, allowing for a full-body-to-body sliding experience. The practitioner uses their entire body to glide over the client’s body, creating intense skin-to-skin contact that amplifies sensuality. The slippery texture adds a unique element of pleasure that distinguishes Nuru from other massages. B2B is very similar to Nuru except that seaweed gel is replaced with oil or lotion.
- Benefits:
- Deepens physical connection through skin-to-skin contact
- Heightens arousal and sensitivity through the use of liquids
- Promotes relaxation through fluid, rhythmic and intense motions

Lingam Massage
Lingam massage is a sacred form of sensual massage that focuses on the male genitalia, or “lingam,” which is Sanskrit for “wand of light.” This massage is designed to not only stimulate pleasure but also to heal and release stored energy in the male sexual organs. The goal is to prolong the experience of pleasure without necessarily aiming for immediate climax, promoting a deep connection between body and mind.
- Benefits:
- Focuses specifically on releasing energy in the genitalia
- Promotes prolonged pleasure and heightened awareness
- Supports emotional and physical healing

Yoni / vulva Massage
Yoni massage, the female counterpart to lingam massage, is a sacred and sensual practice that focuses on the female genitalia, or “yoni,” meaning “sacred space” in Sanskrit. This massage is about connecting deeply with feminine energy, releasing tension, and promoting both physical and emotional healing. Yoni massage can also help awaken sexual energy and deepen intimacy.
- Benefits:
- Encourages emotional healing from potential trauma
- Provides pleasure and education specifically around the vulva
- Supports intimacy and connection with feminine energy

Tantric Massage
Tantric massage is rooted in ancient tantric practices, focusing on awakening and channeling sexual energy throughout the body. Unlike other types of sensual massage, Tantric massage places a strong emphasis on breathwork, meditation, and energy flow. The goal is to balance the body’s energy, awaken the chakras, and create a full-body orgasmic experience that transcends physical pleasure, leading to spiritual enlightenment.
- Benefits:
- Balances the body’s energy centres (chakras)
- Especially good for spiritual connection and mindfulness
- Promotes deep relaxation and transcendent levels of pleasure

4 Hands Massage
As the name suggests, 4 hands massage involves two practitioners working in synchronised movements on the client’s body. This creates an overwhelming sensory experience, as the brain struggles to keep track of all the touch points. The result is an intensely relaxing and sensual massage that heightens pleasure, dissolves tension, and leaves the client in a state of bliss.
- Benefits:
- Intensifies pleasure through multiple touch points
- Creates a heightened and unique sensory experience
- Deepens relaxation by confusing the mind and body
