Tantra massage is a full-body massage that treats the person as a whole: body, breath, feeling. In its present form it dates from the nineteen-seventies, yet it draws on ideas that Indian Tantra has cultivated for centuries. There, the body is regarded as a temple rather than a tool, and touch as a form of attention.
At Secret Deluxe in Zurich we see Tantra massage less as a spiritual teaching and more as an attitude: slow, mindful, without a goal. There is nothing to perform and nothing to achieve. You lie down, you breathe, and you are touched.
How a Tantra massage unfolds
A Tantra massage does not begin with touch but with a conversation. Your masseuse asks what you would like, whether there are areas you would prefer to leave out and how much closeness feels right to you. Then you shower. The room is warm, the light is dimmed, and quiet music plays in the background.
The massage itself follows an arc. It begins on the back, with long, flowing strokes and plenty of warm oil. Gradually the whole body is included: legs, arms, stomach, chest, hands, face. The rhythm is slow, often slower than you would expect. That is precisely where its effect lies.
Towards the end, generous time is also devoted to the intimate area, embedded in the massage of the whole body rather than set apart from it. What happens is up to you. A great deal may happen; nothing has to. Afterwards there is time to let it settle before you dress at your leisure.
What sets Tantra massage apart from other erotic massages
Many erotic massages focus on a single goal. Tantra massage reverses this: the journey is the substance. Arousal is not hurried but held and spread throughout the whole body. This can be very intense, precisely because nothing is forced.
A second difference is the role of the breath. Your masseuse invites you to breathe deeply and calmly, especially in moments when you would otherwise hold your breath. Those who allow this often experience the massage as a journey through their own body, in which thoughts grow quieter and sensations grow clearer.
Who Tantra massage is for
For people who want to take their time. For guests who wish to experience touch as something whole, not as a sequence of techniques. For people who carry a great deal of control in everyday life and would like, for once, to decide nothing at all, except perhaps how deeply to breathe.
It is also suited to couples who would like to be massaged together or one after the other. And it is suited to a first visit, if calm is what you are looking for. If you prefer a shorter introduction, begin with the Sensual Touch massage.
Tantra massage Zurich: what matters
The masseuse. A room nobody else will enter. Enough time: sixty minutes is the minimum, and those who extend rarely regret it. And a studio that takes boundaries seriously, in both directions. At Secret Deluxe on Oerlikonerstrasse 47 you will find exactly that, daily from 11:00 to 23:00, by appointment.
