Neo-Tantric Perineum and Anal Massage | Goals and Benefits

An Anal Massage is typically accompanied by a Full-Body Massage, such as Tantric Massage, and it includes the genital area and massage acupoints in or around the anus often combined with an internal Prostate Massage (the latter in case of men receiving a session). Sometimes Anal Massage is also called Rosebud Massage.

The perineum — considered an erogenous zone — is the space between the anus and scrotum for men and between the anus and the vulva for women, generally being a larger area for men than for women. Perineum Massage or Perineal Massage can be given as is, but it’s generally included in an Anal Massage session. The perineum, notably the perineal acupressure point, is also the area to massage the male prostate externally (if internal prostate work is not done, for instance).

Anal Massage can have therapeutic aims in order to release tensions around the anus, the rectum, or within the abdomen in order to heal sexual trauma, or it can be rather sensual-erotic, more focused on inducing a pleasure experience. As the opening of the anus has many nerve endings it can be very enjoyable for both men and women.

Therapeutically, Perineal Massage and/or Anal Massage may be applied during Tantric De-Armoring sessions to help heal emotional wounds that resulted of physical abuse or rape or of mistreatment by sexual or life partners, or to release stress, frustration, guilt, shame, anger, disappointment and fear, or simply to help the receiver to (re)discover (new) feelings of pleasure.

Nevertheless, it’s important to have a competent massage therapist doing the massage, not only because of the physical precautions that need to be taken into account, but especially when there’s a history of sexual trauma.

Re-awakening trauma or deeply distressing emotions can be an opportunity to heal, but the therapist needs to be prepared to help the receiver cope with these experiences. Hence, a trauma-informed approach is strongly advised.
