Real Tantric Massage for Men on Koh Phangan, Thailand
The beautiful island of Koh Phangan is also known as ‘Tantra Island’, and many visitors are curious to explore Tantra and have a real Tantric massage experience during their stay.
What is Real Tantric Massage?
Real Tantric massage offers a beautiful deep dive into your body with a professional and experienced practitioner. It’s a holistic experience that takes several hours, allowing you to relax deeply, expand your sexuality, and learn authentic Tantric-Tao practices for men.
Many practitioners also support men with common sex and intimacy difficulties such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, and also with prostate health in a comfortable and caring space.
Authentic Tantric massage on Koh Phangan is very different from sexual services. One main difference is the understanding that sexual energy is vital life-force, and it’s experienced by the whole body, not just in the pelvic area.
Another difference is the opportunity to learn traditional Tantric male practices. Clients learn how to bring more sexual ‘Jing Chi’ life force energy into their body to enhance their sexual experiences, and to enjoy life-long vitality. Men can also learn practices such as separating orgasm and ejaculation (known as ‘sublimation’). These practices are known as ‘Sexual Kung Fu’.
Sessions begin with time for personal consultation, where men can share and discuss personal experiences in a space free from judgement. The practitioner will also talk about consent and boundaries so the client knows what to expect, and feels comfortable in the space. The bodywork is discussed together, and always goes at a pace that’s right for each person.
Sessions don’t include mutual touch, as the focus is on inner discovery. The practitioner is there to guide you into an immersive journey, and a new experience of yourself.
A Tantric master once said, ‘If you can be deeply intimate with yourself, then you can be deeply intimate with another person’. Real Tantra celebrates each person, just as they are.
What Happens during a Tantric Massage in Koh Phangan?:
Real Tantric massage sessions for men often include:
- Speaking Together before the Session:
Many men are new to Tantric massage, so the practitioner will offer a free online consultation before booking a session. This gives you an opportunity to ask questions, and they will also explain more about how they work.
- A Confidential Space to Talk about Sexuality:
Real Tantric massage sessions include plenty of time for personal consultation before the bodywork begins. It’s a confidential space where men can share their journey, their intentions for the session, and talk about any sexual issues. The practitioner will also discuss and agree consent and boundaries before the bodywork begins. The consultation may include learning theory about Tantric-Tao practices for men.
- A Deep Experience of your Body:
Western lifestyle can often take us into our head and create disconnection from our physical body. When this happens, we can feel less sensation and enjoyment during intimacy, and it may also be difficult to stay present with a partner.
‘Embodiment’ is a key element of real Tantric sessions on Koh Phangan. During the bodywork, the practitioner will gently guide clients to feel different parts of their body, encouraging them to stay present and notice any sensations and feelings that arise.
Sessions focus on relaxation and wellbeing, whilst also acknowledging and working with any areas of stress and tension. There’s no pressure to ‘perform’, and clients can relax into being themselves.
- Tantric Lingam and Testicle massage:
Professional practitioners offer genuine Tantric genital bodywork, which includes specialist pelvic floor, testical and lingam massage. Tantric massage on Koh Phangan is often combined with therapeutic Taoist (Ancient Chinese) Karsai Nei Tsang massage techniques for pelvic health and vitality.
Some practitioners teach foundational Tantric practices for men, including separating orgasm and ejaculation, during the bodywork. This can open a new world of sexual experience, and the opportunity to harness sexual Jing-Chi energy for life-long pleasure and wellbeing.
Tantric lingam and testicle massage is part of a holistic bodywork approach that includes the whole body. Real Tantra is about experiencing vital sexual energy throughout the body, not just in the pelvis. Clients leave the session feeling energised, rather than releasing the life-force energy through ejaculation.
- Support for Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejacuation on Koh Phangan:
Some Tantric professionals offer therapeutic support for erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and a range of other sexual and intimacy issues.
The Tantric-Tao sciences of sexual health, combined with personal consultation and bodywork, can offer a fresh approach for men who are struggling with ED, PE and other challenges.
- Real Tantric Massage Techniques:
Tantric sessions include long sequences of bodywork using different types of touch and massage techniques.
This may include deep massage of the back of the body, light (feathering) touch, and massage of the whole body with warm coconut oil. Practitioners will also use specialist Tantric-Tao bodywork techniques to open pathways that bring more life-force energy into the body, and specialist genital massage.
The practitioner will gently guide clients through the bodywork sequence, encouraging them to stay present and notice different sensations and feelings. Any emotions held in the body are welcomed and supported.
- Male Prostate Health and Self-discovery:
The prostate (a gland located just behind the bladder) plays a key role in sexual wellness and expansion for men in the Tantric-Taoist traditions.
Gentle massage of the prostate is a key treatment for premature ejaculation, pelvic tension and helping to release the stress of daily life. The internal massage usually takes place at the end of a session after deeply relaxing bodywork. It lasts for about 10 minutes for new clients, and the process is discussed fully during the consultation time.
- Reprogramming Old Sexuality Patterns:
Authentic Tantric bodywork sessions can help men let go of old patterns and beliefs around sexuality, for example, increasing body confidence, transforming strict cultural conditioning around sex, and letting go of the pressure to ‘perform’.
- Learning about Consent and Boundaries:
Are you confident to express your ‘Yes!’, ‘No’ and ‘I’m not sure’ in intimate situations? Many of us didn’t learn this growing up, including how to listen to our body to know if something is genuinely okay for us.
Real Tantra sessions support men with learning how to be in consent with their own body first of all, and then with others.
Practitioners also support clients with learning how to express their needs in a way that can be heard and respected. It’s a gift to bring into relationships to create deeper safety, trust and ultimately deeper connection.
- Tantric-Tao Sexuality as a Spiritual Practice:
In many Western cultures, sexuality is often experienced as separate from spirituality, and perhaps kept hidden, not fully expressed or layered with cultural shame.
In the Tantra and Taoist, however, the cultivation and expression of sexual life-force energy can be experienced as a spiritual practice. Sexuality is seen as something that’s healthy, positive and natural. It connects us more deeply with partners and also with the Cosmos.
- Tantric Massage and Trauma:
Many practitioners are ‘Trauma Aware’, which means they have professional training about how to hold space for any trauma activation that may arise during the bodywork. However, sessions are not focused on trauma resolution, so it’s important to talk with the practitioner before coming to a session about whether sessions are right for you.
- Relaxing on Koh Phangan after a Tantric Massage Session:
Koh Phangan has beautiful beaches and large areas of rainforest with waterfalls, which are perfect spots to relax integrate after receiving a session.
The island also hosts many yoga and workshop centres for health and wellness. It has a range of quality cafes and restaurants serving Thai and international cuisine, and accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets.
Finding a Professional Practitioner: Some Extra Advice!
Before booking a session, it’s highly recommended to check that the practitioner has professional training and experience, and read reviews of their sessions. ‘Tantra’ offerings on Koh Phangan may not always be held by an experienced or safe person. Take time to research so you know what you sign up for! Then enjoy…
