Women
can now have v*gina massages that helps them get incredible orgasms,
according to a new research. Almost every woman now wants it.
According to a report by Metro, v*gina massages are a thing – and they’re more than just a sexual experience.
Women’s
Health brought our attention to the existence of v*gina massages – also
known as yoni massage and tantric massage – this week, interviewing
expert yoni massage practitioner Isis Phoenix.
Isis
explained that her treatments cost upwards of $300 (£200), and involve
the use of herbs, steam, and massaging tension out of the vagina.
Which
all sounds very interesting. But it also sounded like another one of
those strange things happening across the pond in LA. So we tracked down
some yoni massage practitioners in the UK to find out if women are
really paying for the same experience over here.
Turns
out they are. We spoke to Alexey Kuzmin from Tantric Therapy UK and
Katie Travis from Massage Her. They both offer vaginal massage in
London, promising benefits ranging from centering the mind and body,
soothing anxiety, and self-esteem to improved orgasms and increased
sensitivity.
Katie even suggests that by giving clients orgasms, the treatments can ‘reduce the risk of many types of cancer usually associated with women’. We’re
a bit skeptical about that bit – orgasms have been proven to reduce the
risk of prostate cancer for men, but there is currently no strong
evidence that they have cancer-fighting benefits for women. However,
regular orgasms can relieve stress, and stress can have many negative
physical effects on the body, so there’s always that.
Katie
told metro.co.uk that Massage Her’s techniques involve setting the mood
with candles and incense. The client is then offered a blindfold, and
the therapist will ‘very slowly and seductively undress her before
asking her to lay face down, where he will begin to gently caress her
whole body with very light touches.’
‘She
will then be massaged from head to toe, including a foot and head
massage. Her entire body will be massaged, leaving nothing untouched and
stimulating her many erogenous zones, including light touches between
her thighs occasionally brushing her vagina.
‘She
would then be turned over on to her front where the emphasis will
centre on her frontal erogenous zones including her breasts and ending
with a yoni massage, which she will by this time, be yearning for. Our
success rate speaks for itself; over 80% of all our clients become
regular clients.’
Whoa.
Both Katie and Alexey recommend having a man perform the massage on heterosexual women. Alexey explains:‘A tantric massage is not a mechanical massage – it is a holistic experience: physical, emotional, psychological.
‘I
personally believe that clients experience the best response, comfort
and benefit when a tantric massage is performed along their sexual
orientation.’
If
this is all sounding like a glorious experience, it’s probably worth
noting the price tag. Alexey charges £140 for a three hour appointment,
including a one hour consultation, one and half hour tantric massage,
and half an hour of ‘post-massage conversation’.
Massage
Her’s prices start from £250 for a one hour appointment and can go up
to £490 depending on the service booked (we’re not sure what that
means).
At
the end of the day, vagina massages quite clearly aren’t for everyone.
They’re not ideal if you’re uncomfortable with the idea of being
touched, and probably won’t work if you’re tense or giggling throughout.
