Tantra A Ritual Journey into the World of Sensuality

A classic massage rarely surprises anyone today. Yet, all it takes is a bit of courage to visit one of the many tantric centers now opening across the country. What is the secret of this intimate form of massage that is becoming increasingly popular in the Czech Republic?

 
Bc. Michaela Uzlová:

They are mysterious, exotic, and modern. Tantric massages have recently won over thousands of people in the Czech Republic. It is said to bring incredible relaxation, a deeper understanding of one’s body, and an unforgettable experience. Those who have tried it speak of transformation, while others approach it with doubt: Isn’t it immoral? Isn’t it too erotic?

Those who practice tantric massage openly admit that it is a deeply intimate ritual. Yet, although tantra works not only with a person’s energy but also with their sexuality, it is not a sexual service. “Some people, especially wealthy men, really think they can buy anything. They put money on the table and expect the masseuse to give in. But that’s not how it works — they are not prostitutes,” says Bc. Michaela Lynnette Torstenová, founder of a tantric center.

According to her, the tantric ritual can be seen as a path to self-discovery and openness, a healing therapy for one’s sexual life, or simply a way to enrich a relationship.

 
Trust and Connection
Choosing the right guide is essential in tantric massage. You’ll be in very close, intimate contact and must trust them completely. You can decide in advance whether you prefer a male or female therapist.

“You don’t have to think about your sexual orientation. Many women feel more comfortable with a female therapist because they experience less tension or shame than they might with a man,” explains Torstenová.

For your first experience, it’s best to make your final choice in person the most important thing is whether you feel comfortable with your therapist. “On our website, we even have photos of all therapists, so clients can see who will work with them. Still, if you meet someone and feel uneasy, it’s always possible to change. The client must feel completely at ease,” Torstenová emphasizes.

 
The Experience
When you arrive at the salon, your guide welcomes you into a softly lit room filled with the scent of candles and relaxing music. There’s light refreshment fruit, chocolate, tea. Everything is designed to help you relax and feel safe. Then comes a conversation about your wishes, desires, or even difficulties that tantric massage may help address such as infertility, fear of intimacy, or sexual discomfort.

According to therapists, the massage can even help women reconnect with their bodies. “Some of us specialize in curvier women who need to learn to accept themselves and find peace with their bodies. Sometimes tantric massage helps them begin to lose weight naturally,” says Dáša, a therapist at Tantra masáže Praha.

Every guest begins with a bath not only for hygiene, but also to cleanse the mind. “Wrapped in a light sarong, you close your eyes and experience the opening ritual, full of gentle touch. Your guide embraces and rocks you in rhythm with the music, synchronizing their breath with yours. Through touch and presence, you begin to trust and surrender,” explains Dáša.

Then comes the moment of deeper connection  the sarong is removed, and the full ritual begins.

 
The Art of Touch
Tantra teaches that a woman is like water she warms up slowly and cools down slowly while a man is like fire, igniting instantly. We decided to experience this contrast firsthand.

The tantric massage is full of sensual touches, intensified by techniques inspired by Thai, Hawaiian, and classic massage. “A wonderfully stimulating part is when we apply warm towels soaked in fragrant oils from head to toe. Then come strokes with fans, feathers, and soft fur each texture awakening different sensations,” describes Dáša.

The oil massage brings deep relaxation, followed by playful, gentle caresses of the thighs, back, or neck. The rule is that you can stop or guide the therapist at any time. But for those who are open, the experience can become profoundly moving.

“Many clients surprise themselves,” says Denisa, another therapist. “At first, they think certain things are off-limits, but later they find them uplifting. Although most say they can stop anytime, almost everyone wants to experience the full flow of energy to its natural conclusion often with orgasm. But it’s not a sexual act it’s an energetic release, a sensory and emotional experience.”

Tantric massage, she explains, is about touch, awareness, and self-acceptance never sex. The session ends with grounding touches, such as a head or foot massage, to let the energy settle.

For couples who worry about fidelity, there is the option of a couple’s massage, where both partners share the experience together.

 
A Man’s Perspective
Petr Topič, photojournalist for Sedmička:

“I had read a lot about tantric massage, yet I was nervous before my first time. The owner noticed and reassured me: ‘There are no taboos here, and you can stop anytime.’

My masseuse, Denisa, was young, beautiful, and calm. She offered me tea and explained the process. After a shower, wrapped in a sarong, I entered a dimly lit room scented with incense. As she began the ritual, even the first touch gave me goosebumps.

Gradually, my anxiety faded. When she removed my sarong, I felt surprisingly at ease no embarrassment, only trust. The massage was slow and mindful, using warm towels, fans, and feathers. When her hands reached more intimate places, it felt natural. My whole body tingled, and I breathed deeply.

By the end, I was fully relaxed and emotionally open. It wasn’t sex, but it wasn’t an ordinary massage either it was something between. You pay not for the act, but for the connection of erotic energy and deep relaxation. It was refreshing and eye-opening.”

 
A Woman’s Perspective
Vendula Fantová, production editor for Sedmička:

“It was hard to overcome my shyness and ring the doorbell. But the calm presence of the center’s owner immediately soothed me. I had asked for a female therapist and was introduced to Dáša, who instantly put me at ease.

The atmosphere was wonderful: dim light, incense, soft music. Wrapped in a sarong, I stood facing her, eyes open then quickly closed them and felt safer. Her touch was gentle, flowing, and when she laid warm lavender-scented towels over my body, I felt waves of peace.

With every stroke, I became more relaxed, more aware. When she began the oil massage, front and back, face and feet, I felt reborn. I forgot about my flaws. I felt beautiful.

At the end, I lay quietly, covered again, feeling cleansed and free. After a shower and a few strawberries, I left the studio full of calm, warmth, and gratitude. Will I go again? Definitely. I’m just not sure if I’ll have the courage to choose a male therapist next time.”
