We have all had a massage before- let’s face it, why wouldn’t we? They’re relaxing, reasonably priced (generally speaking) and are easy to come by. However, not everyone is seeking out the right massage style for them. Most people don’t know what they really need. If you’ve heard of oriental massage, you’ve probably got a pre-mediated opinion of ‘what they are’ and ‘what they’re like’. You’ve probably come to this conclusion through the portrayal of cheesy X-rated movies; you know the one’s we are talking about. But the reality of oriental massage is undeniably mistaken, and here is why:
What is oriental massage?
Oriental massage, also known as Asian massage is a category of this therapy that often incorporates sexual stimulation. Unlike more traditional styles such as Shiatsu and Swedish massage, oriental styles aim to both relax and arouse clients. There are many types of oriental massage- making it almost impossible to establish when this incredible form of art was first created. However, Tantric Massage– one of the most famous styles- dates back thousands of years.
You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover
It’s not difficult to see why oriental massage is clouded by negative stigmas, because it delves into the back alley of society that a lot of people feel uncomfortable embracing and talking about. Their sexuality and sex life. However, oriental massage has been miss-represented. It has been categorised as a sleazy exercise reserved for only the seediest in society. Wrong. Oriental massage is far more than its reputation suggests. Whilst it does explore sexual interaction, it does so for several reasons. Oriental massage practitioners do not view sex as an animalistic craving; they treat it as a necessity- because it is.
The power of sexual touch
Sex isn’t just about pleasure- it’s about awakening the senses and re-aligning the chakras in the body (energies). Whilst oriental masseuses do incorporate sexual teasing into their routines- it’s to create a holistic release- it’s not all about physical enjoyment. This means that clients can enjoy a mental, physical and spiritual awakening; as opposed to the lesser release experienced during traditional massage. Sexual frustration isn’t a myth; it is a fiercely real and consuming mentality that can have an impact on our bodies and mental states. Sexual stimulation releases endorphins, which makes us happy and minimises stress. It also increases blood flow which helps to alleviate harmful toxins from the body. Ultimately, oriental massage combines sexual pleasure with traditional massage techniques because it is has far more benefits.
Say goodbye to stress
Naturally, pleasure induces relaxation. It’s that feeling of relief experienced by most people after an orgasm. However, what most people don’t realise is that orgasms also stimulate the production of oxytocin, also known as the ‘love drug’. Like another powerful hormone, Serotonin, Oxytocin is responsible for enhancing the feelings of happiness and help towards combating stress, anxiety and depression. Unsurprisingly, a recent study showed that 80% of participants who enjoyed an hour-long Nuru massage felt much happier and uplifted for several weeks after their session. It just proves that oriental massage is one of the best stress-releases out there.
You’ll get a much needed ego boost
Typically, oriental massage requires the client to be naked- which can be both daunting and self-exposing for a lot of people. Whilst this might seem scary, it’s actually the best way to feed your self-esteem. Regular practitioners of oriental massage often claim that the nature of these styles make them feel more comfortable with their bodies. Why, might you ask? Well its straightforward- oriental masseuses help clients to love and appreciate every inch of their bodies through specific, delicate touch. It is not invasive touch- it is slow, respectful and loving in many ways. Clients are made to embrace their beauty and sexuality; they are made to feel incredibly masculine or feminine. Basically, if you need a quick fix to feel good about yourself, book in for an oriental massage.
So, what are you waiting for?
Experiencing an oriental massage is nothing to be ashamed of- it is a natural, perfectly legal pass-time that is great for relieving stress, feeding your ego and experiencing pleasure like you’ve never had it before. Don’t throw your money away on mediocre, short-lived massage. Invest in something worthwhile that will you feeling sensational for weeks after your session. Don’t let your judgment be clouded by taboo. Give your body, mind and soul what it deserves- liberation!
