Nude bodies glistening with oil, orgasmic faces, the occasional glimpse of a g-string, bare breasts and body-to-body contact… A superficial glance at our visual content might stir all kinds of feelings and ideas. But what is Tantra massage really all about? Is it a sexual service in disguise? Can you feel safe, naked in the hands of our masseurs?
In today’s world the title ‘Tantra massage’ is used to refer to a great range of services, ranging from clothes-on energy work to full-blown sexual experiences (excuse the pun). So what is it that we truly offer in the Tantra Temple? What goes on behind the (rather exotic) curtain, on those famous red massage beds? Are the sensual shadows cast on the walls in the candle-lit ambiance and the gentle sighs of pleasure a sign that something shady is going on? Or is it possible that something healing and profoundly transforming is taking place? Can 2025 handle erotic massage?
Tantra massage in the Tantra Temple is indeed a sensual, at times deeply erotic, and profoundly intimate experience. In some moments it is very gentle and healing, in others heavenly and blissful. Often greatly fulfilling, it is always offered with great love and care by highly trained masseurs, who aim to adapt in each moment to the specific needs of the guest (we prefer to welcome you as our guests rather than receiving you as ‘clients’). Our goal as masseurs is to leave behind our daily concerns, and to give ourselves fully to being present with our guests, helping them release blockages and tensions, supporting them in opening to truly ecstatic and sublime experiences. We perform yoga or meditation techniques before beginning, in order to go beyond any personal issues and to be in an optimal state for the massage. The masseur does not expect anything of his or her guest, except common sense and respect, and is fully present in the experience, enjoying every moment in unison with the one who receives.

Because we offer a full-body oil massage, the one receiving is usually naked. Underwear simply hinders the sensual flow of the massage, but of course it is up to every guest to decide if they feel comfortable. The masseur keeps a minimum underwear on – boxer shorts for men and a g-string for women – but other than this their skin is naked. For us, it would be strange to ask you to take all your clothes off while we remain fully dressed. Aside from the impracticality of oil getting on everything, we never keep a cold ‘professional distance’, which would create a kind of artificial separation between masseur and guest. Rather we aim to connect in a profound and intimate way with every guest, while always aiming to be sensitive and respectful to personal boundaries.
Conscious touch is an essential feature of the massage, meaning the masseur – and ideally also the guest – are fully present in every movement of the hands, arms and all the body. The masseur aims to empathically sense the impact of every touch, adjusting according to the moment. Skin-to-skin contact not only creates a physical bridge, but also unites the giver and receiver at the level of energy and emotion. This creates a frame in which the masseur is able to offer a truly meaningful, and sometimes even healing, experience. Loving touch is a deep human need and helps to bring balance on multiple levels, especially when prolonged, such as during a Tantra massage. For us, offering massage is a spiritual practice that goes beyond ordinary human interaction and is deeply transforming for both the guest and masseur, personally and spiritually.
Sexual services are never part of what we offer. We have a strict code of conduct which forbids masseurs to have a sexual relationship with their guests. Beyond the rules, offering a sexual service is totally contrary to teachings of Tantra, in which all our masseurs have been trained (our current masseurs have completed between 4 and 25+ years of intensive training and practice). Tantra teaches that love is the essential ingredient, and that eroticism must always be pure, uplifting and free from selfish desire. We aim to transmit this and more through the massages and loving conscious touch that we offer, guiding our guests to abandon previous understandings about intimacy and ascend to pure heights of bliss through touch alone.

For the women who wish, massage of the yoni (or genitals) is offered after a full body massage. This is a therapeutic massage which is done with the fingers and in a state of great reverence for the most sacred part of a woman’s being. The masseur aims to stay deeply connected with the woman receiving the massage and never to cross her limits. The woman is encouraged to express herself if something feels uncomfortable. She will always be asked beforehand and during the massage if she feels like receiving the yoni massage. Many women report extraordinary healing effects from receiving the yoni massage.
In the case of men, the massage of the lingam (or penis) is not something that can be booked. It is offered only to those who have completed a long series of teachings and practice in our temple. This is because Tantra massage never allows ejaculation, but rather aims towards a full-body experience of pleasure that takes men beyond instinctual gratification. The lingam massage therefore implies that the receiver is able to control his desires and open to a more profound experience of orgasm that involves no loss of fluid or energy. That is what we in tantra call amorous erotic continence. Our members learn much more about this in initiation number 8 out of 12.

After every massage, masseurs practise yoga techniques to harmonise and purify their energies and bodies. This helps us to stay healthy and fit, and also to cleanse any residues of negative blockages that the guest may have released during the massage. In this way we can approach every new guest with a ‘clean slate’ and an open heart, ready to fully embrace you and your process. Masseurs perform maximum two massages per day, in order to ensure that we maintain a healthy balance and do not cross our limits of vitality and our possibility to offer.
Perhaps receiving a Tantra Massage is not for everybody, but for those who are open and ready, it can open the gate to sublime and deeply transforming experiences. Is this really so controversial in today’s world? And if so, why? We will leave you to decide as we let you explore our website… and why not pay us a visit for a genuine experience of authentic Tantra Massage?
