Massage sessions are privileged moments of relaxation. Quite simply because the action of the masseur’s hands on our body allows us to relax our muscles.
The massage thus offers us physical relaxation, but also psychological appeasement. In addition, you should know that this practice comes in two main categories: traditional massages and sensual massages.
However, how do these two types of massage differ? Let’s do a check-in.
Two types of massage for different needs
The objective of classic massage and sensual massage remains the same: to help the person relax. However, each practice is used in very different contexts. Indeed, traditional massage is acclaimed mainly to treat muscle and joint pain.
It may concern :
- Aches or contractures following intense sporting activity;
- Back or lumbar pain from sitting at the desk;
- Muscular pathologies such as fibromyalgia, lumbago, etc.
At the end of the session, the person will feel relief from their pain, which guarantees a pleasant relaxation of the body and calms the mind.
On the other hand, sensual massage does not treat any ailment in particular. Thus, we generally consider a sensual massage just to have fun, to relax. Especially since there are multiple benefits from it.
This type of massage helps boost libido and maintain good sexual health. Practiced as a couple, it is a way to warm up during foreplay. Sometimes all parts of the body are used. This is particularly the case during a body-body massage.
A similar framework…with one exception
Relaxing music, subdued lighting, soft atmosphere, soothing atmosphere… This is the setting required for an ideal massage, whether classic or sensual.
The person to be massaged will then settle comfortably on a support which can be a massage table in a salon or on a bed during a massage at home.
Nevertheless, there is one point that differentiates these two types of massages: the state of the masseur.
Indeed, as part of a traditional massage, the latter remains fully clothed. While during a sensual massage, the two protagonists must be completely undressed.
This goes without saying since the sensual massage must reflect a certain eroticism… Although the achievement of orgasm is not really the goal.
