What are tantra massages?

Tantra massages, on the other hand, massage that aim at sexual release and employs arousing the client sexually. So, why these are called ‘tantra massages’ and not erotic massages? Well, the massages may focus on the erogenous zones of the body only, but the principle is one related to primordial spirituality. Ancient scriptures list the kinds of meditation that can awaken your senses and you catch a glimpse of something beyond this ephemeral world. One such kind of meditation is through caressing and sensuous touching. Tantra massages use the sensation of touch to channel sexual energies around the body, and the vigorous flow of such energy leads the person to orgasm. Nuru and tantra massage in Bangkok are also used as forms of medical therapy for a variety of problems including premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction and low libido.

Nature of these massages

Where Nuru massages are for the attainment of pleasure, tantra massages are mostly sought for the attainment of a meditative state. Tantra massages require an extensive training on the part of the masseuse as it deals with the union of yin-yang energies. Yin energy causes relaxation of the body and mind whereas yang energy causes stimulation of the erogenous zones. Nuru masseuses are usually required to be an attractive female, and the cost of the massages depends upon the girls. Regular Nuru massages cost around 1000-2000 bahts, but there are even higher prices for some naughty extra services. For multiple girls, the prices for each of the girls add up.  Nuru and tantra massage in Bangkok can be done with singular or multiple masseuses. However, Nuru massages employ female masseuses only.
