What is erotic massage?

Erotic massage is a type of massage that aims to arouse sexual feelings and provide sensual pleasure. It differs from traditional massage, which primarily focuses on muscle relaxation and pain relief. The intent behind erotic massage is sexual stimulation and often includes techniques that are not typically used in therapeutic massage.

Key aspects often associated with erotic massage include:

• Intimacy and Consent: Clear and enthusiastic consent is crucial before and throughout the massage. Discussions about boundaries and expectations are essential to ensure comfort and respect. See also: Consent%20in%20Erotic%20Massage

It's important to note that erotic massage is distinct from prostitution. While some illegal establishments may offer sexual services disguised as massage, genuine erotic massage focuses on sensual pleasure and arousal within ethical and consensual boundaries.
