Sensual Massage

Massage is a way to interact with a person’s whole being: body, mind, spirit and emotions.
Massage affects us physiologically in numerous ways. Massage:
  • Supports the circulatory system, increasing blood flow and oxygenation of tissues.
  • Creates a detoxification effect. Toxins are flushed from the cells through the lymphatic system. there is also an increase in urination following massage that can last for several days, helping to rid the body of waste products.
  • Affects the muscular-skeletal system. Massage helps heal injured muscles and keeps tissues pliant and vibrant. Stiff, tense muscles pull the skeleton into distorted postures. With massage, muscles release and lengthen, allowing the skeleton to realign.
  • Affects the respiratory system. Breathing deepens and slows as the body relaxes. Massage also releases muscles that restrict the lungs’ expansion, so deeper breathing becomes easy and joyful.
  • Generates a biochemical response. Serotonin and dopamine levels increase, reducing anxiety and depression. Cortisol, the stress hormone, decreases Oxytocin increases, the hormone of love and bonding. Endorphin secretion is stimulated, building a feeling of bliss. This biochemical response is magnified when a massage is sensual and erotic.

Massage touches the mind
As skillful touch soothes the nervous system, it invites the ind to relax ans open. In our “normal” state of stress, our ability to think and communicate is compromised. The nervous system’s fight-or-flight response creates a mental attitude of constant vigilance. The mind chatters, surveying potential threats. Massage encourages the brain of the person receiving to shift into the rhythm of meditation and creativity. Massage also oxygenates the brain.

Massage supports the integration of body, mind, spirt and emotions
Talk therapies proceed from the outside in; changes in understanding are meant to help a patient become happy, calm and free. In my experience, this process is often an incomplete one. Patients come to my practice (Caffyn Jesse) after decades of talk therapy. They have an excellent mental understanding of how they wish to put aside past traumas and become happier. But the body can’t catch up. They walk around with hyper-activated nervous systems. Mind chatters, spirit shrivels, the heart wants to cling or close. With massage, the client’s mind, spirit and emotions evolve from the inside out. Physiological processes support peace unfolding from within. There is an integration of well-being with the person’s whole being. Biochemistry invites ecstasy.

We are used to “donut massages” that bring healing and pleasure to every area of the body except the genitals. Such massages can be wonderful, but inasmuch as the communicate the message that our genitals are untouchable, they do harm. In a culture that shames sexual feeling, many people learn to numb out pleasure and aliveness in the genitals and surrounding tissues. This abnegation of feeling creates what sexologists call the “Genital Hole” (a phrase that originated with A.H. Alamos). The “Genital Hole” becomes a place where the wounds of a lifetime get stored. Sensual and erotic massage includes and integrates the genitals. Exploring the range of sensation that is possible, we awaken the neural network. Such touch can assist us in bringing aliveness to this core part of our selves, expanding our capacity for feeling, and giving erotic energy an honored role in our bodies and our lives.
