Tantric massage is an intimate massage technique that is used for improving the energy in the body and relaxation through rhythmic breathing and sharing. It is a specific form of therapy in many cultures which helps to channel energy from the spine to the rest of the body. When one is doing a Tantric massage, the masseur has to convey comfort and pleasure to the patient, without expecting anything in return. This is a way to connect with your partner, although the feeling does not necessarily have to be of sexual nature.

Tantric massage combines sexual energy with traditional massage techniques. Many believe that it can be used to release the latent energy in the body and helps relieve mental and physical stress in the body.

The concept of Tantric massage is to awaken the seven energy centers known as chakras. These energy centers are located along the spine. The purpose of this kind of massage is to release the blocked energy so that it can flow freely throughout the body. When this type of massage technique is combined with breathing techniques known as "pranayama", it may improve respiration and breathing in general.

Like any other type of massage, Tantric massage may be used both to create sexual arousal and to relax the body.

In light of the potential effects of the massage, it is important to keep in mind that the arousal is still possible if done by a professional.
