Erotic Massage is a combination of sensual and therapeutic bodywork. Erotic massage should not be confused with sex—it may include any number of legitimate therapies, including an all-over body rub and erotic release by hand. Generally both the client and the masseur are nude. Erotic massage may be utilized as a means of stimulating the libido, or increasing the ability of a person to respond positively to sensual stimulus. Every sensual masseur has different rules, so it is important to discuss areas of exploration before the massage.
