Tantric Massage vs Nuru Massage: Understanding the Art of Sensual Healing

Two of Nuru Massage London's most requested treatments are Tantric Massage and Nuru Massage — both erotic, deeply sensual, and designed to free the body while awakening a deeper connection with pleasure. Although they might appear twins-like on the outside, each massage is its own story, its own purpose, and its own vibration.

To help you choose the experience best suited to you, we've created this entire guide to learning about Tantric and Nuru Massage differences, techniques used, and why customers love both for differing reasons.

What is a Tantric Massage?

A Tantric Massage, or Classic Tantric Massage, is the birthplace of sensual touch and one of the most classical forms of erotic bodywork out there.

Tracing back to ancient Eastern philosophy, Tantric Massage is not just about pleasure — it's about awareness, energy, and connection.

Your practitioner uses warm aromatic oils and slow-moving strokes that glide over every inch of your body, helping release tension and increase sensual sensitivity.

Each movement is performed in mindfulness — at times with breathing exercises and soft eye contact — in order to create a space of ultimate presence and trust.

The experience is meditative, emotional, or profoundly erotic, depending on mood and openness. A Tantric Massage is intended to awaken the body's own energy pathways as a source of complete relaxation and enhanced pleasure.

We at Nuru Massage London consider Tantric Massage an excellent first encounter for the novice sensually awakened individual. It offers the balance of gentle erotic stimulation and soothing relaxation, having you glide between tranquility and ecstasy.

What Is a Nuru Massage?

While Tantric Massage engages your senses and intellect, a Nuru Massage places you in the whole physical and sensual realm.

Originating from Japan, "Nuru" literally means slippery — and that's exactly the main reason for this experience to be so unique. It utilizes a unique Nuru Gel, which is derived from seaweed natural extract (Nori), Aloe Vera, and grapefruit fragrance.

The gel is incredibly smooth, transparent, and skin-friendly — perfect for Nuru's unique body-to-body sliding method.

During a Nuru Massage, your therapist covers both her body and yours with the warm, slippery gel, then uses her entire body — from her thighs and breasts to her torso and arms — to slide rhythmically over you. Every movement creates a sensual frictionless connection that melts away stress while awakening every nerve in your body.

It's deeply erotic, intimate, and physically therapeutic — a skin-on-skin dance few can match.

While Nuru sessions tend to be "messier" than oil massages, the gel washes off with warm water easily, leaving your skin silky, clean, and moisturized.

The Differences Between Tantric and Nuru Massage

While both are sensual and erotic, Tantric and Nuru massages differ in energy, texture, and intensity.

Feature	Tantric Massage	Nuru Massage
Medium	Warm essential oils	Nuru Gel (seaweed-based)
Focus	Energy, breathing, sensual awareness	Full-body physical connection
Experience	Meditative, intimate	Slippery, arousing, tactile
Pressure	Gentle, slow, rhythmic	Smooth, body-to-body gliding
Clean-up	Minimal	High (but gel rinses off easily)
Purpose	Emotional, spiritual pleasure	Physical, sensual pleasure

A Tantric Massage is like an emotional and sensual awakening — whereas Nuru Massage is a body-to-body erotic adventure that gratifies your physical senses fully.

The majority of Nuru Massage London clients start with Tantric and then discover the intensity of Nuru. Others combine both for an experience that goes slowly from sensual build-up to ultimate release and relaxation.

Which One Should You Choose?

Both massages share the same goal — total body relaxation and sensual awakening — but the journey is different.

Choose Tantric Massage if you want:

• A slow, contemplative experience

  
  

• Emotional connection and breathing focus

  
  

• Sensual but not greasy touch

  
  

Choose Nuru Massage if you want:

• Body gliding and body closeness all over your body

  
  

• Higher erotic energy

  
  

• A renowned, slippery, and sensual experience

At Nuru Massage London, our therapists are highly trained to deliver both with professionalism, class, and discretion. No matter where you are in Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Soho, or Paddington, you'll have a suitable therapist to cater to your needs.
