Although you’ll find many types and styles of Tantra Massage today, it’s widely acknowledged that modern Tantra Massage, or Tantric Massage, has originally been developed by Andro Rothe in 1978 in Berlin, Germany. Andro also founded Diamond Lotus Tantra, the first German Tantra institute.


Tantra Massage is a highly Sensual Erotic Massage treatment modality with a spiritual touch — applied for both men and women — and it includes working with the erogenous zones of the body such as the mouth, ears, breasts and nipples, inner thighs, groin, the penis, vagina, vagina, perineum, and the anus. Some Tantric massage therapists also work with the uterus, cervix, anal canal, and/or prostate.
Tantric Massage uses a broad variety of techniques and elements derived from ancient Indian Tantra philosophy, Tantric ceremonies and rituals, Yoga, Bioenergetics, and modern Sexual Therapy, but it also applies techniques and methods from various contemporary bodywork teachers and psychologists such as Wilhelm Reich, Carl Jung, Carl Rogers, Alexander Lowen, Mantak Chia (creator of Taoist Multi-Orgasmic work and Karsai Nei Tsang), Joseph Kramer (creator of the Lingam Massage) and Annie Sprinkle (creator of the Yoni Massage).

The receiver of a Tantric Massage is asked to surrender completely to the session, which aims at a rediscovery of feelings and emotions, combining wellbeing and deep relaxation while opening mind and heart to resolve traumatic and emotional issues related to relationships and sexuality, the latter typically implemented as so-called Tantric De-Armouring. In fact, Tantric Massage is often considered a therapeutic opportunity with an aim of sexual and spiritual healing.
Other benefits of Tantra Massage include achieving peace of mind and relaxation, liberation of sexual energy, stimulation of the free flow of Vital Life Force Energy, reduction of stress and anxiety, stimulation of love and loving kindness, promotion of overall health and vitality, alleviation or healing of a range of common sexual dysfunctions, cultivation of feelings of contentment and joy, and improvement of orgasmic and sexual pleasure potential.
An important part of the treatment is activating creative Life Energy (called Qi, Chi or Prana) by opening the Chakras (pranic energy centers) and thereby allowing the free flow and transformation of sexual energy, which is thought to promote passion, love, higher levels of consciousness, spiritual awakening, creativity, intuition, and longevity.


Tantric Massage is a loving touch massage that asks of full awareness and presence of both masseur and receiver. It’s about understanding the needs of the receiver, and it’s usually carried out without any specific massage sequence or form. It’s a Full Body Massage that includes working with the erogenous zones, but with respect for mutual set boundaries.
Its focus is to work as a slowly and consciously performed energetic massage treatment in which sexual energy gets plenty of attention, but it’s not a massage with sex or sexual intercourse. However, sexual orgasms may occur, and those are allowed and not judged. The masseur mainly uses the hands to give the massage, and (warm) oils, but the latter is not a necessity.
A Tantra Massage treatment may also be given body-to-body (the receiver and masseur being in the nude and the latter mainly using their body to carry out the massage), but a clothed Tantric Massage where both receiver and giver are clothed is likewise possible. However, more generally, only the receiver will be unclothed during a session.
