The Meaning of Lingam | Shiva
Linga
The Shiva Linga, also called Linga or Lingam, is an
aniconic symbolic representation of the Hindu God Shiva in
Shaivism, the latter being a spiritual religious tradition in
Hinduism.

The Linga points to the deity Shiva as the universal


generative power, a representation of existence, all-
pervasive being, creativity and fertility at the cosmic,
universal level. It’s considered a masculine power as
opposed to feminine powers, being one part of a whole,
masculine and feminine together forming a sacred unity in
oneness.

Lingam is a Sanskrit word — Sanskrit is the ancient Indian


language used in the sacred scriptures — with the meaning
of sign, symbol or mark and it appears in a variety of
religious and spiritual texts of ancient India. These texts,
the Vedas, increasingly contain mentioning the Lingam in
the Upanishads writings as from the 1st millennium BCE.

The word Lingam is also found in Indian Sanskrit texts


where it has a meaning less connected to Shaivism, but
more abstract meanings like “the evidence of God” or
“proof of God,” being the visible symbol and expression of
that what is always not-visible, without form, yet all-
pervasive and omnipresent. This is very much connected
and rather similar with the idea of Brahma, which is the
concept of the transcendent and immanent absolute reality,
the supreme universal spirit as known in Hinduism.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

One can usually find Lingam iconography and symbology
in Hindu temples that are dedicated to Shiva or in little
Shiva shrines. The Lingam is often shown as a cylindrical
phallic, pillar-shaped token standing upright within a round
or disc-shaped platform. This platform or holder represents
the Yoni, which is the feminine counterpart of the Linga (a
symbol of incarnations of the Shakti Goddess). Lingam
symbols, images and representations haven’t been used
only in India. One can found Linga iconography in many
other Asian and Southeast Asian countries.

Although there are early references of the Lingam being


the procreative sexualized phallic representation of the
God Shiva, it’s actually only since the 19th-century that the
Lingam has become increasingly associated directly with
(and sometimes only with) the penis. This, in fact, is rather
the result of certain interpretations of Tantric and Neo-
Tantric ideas in the West. Traditionally however, the
Lingam-Yoni concept and unity has been about masculine
and feminine principles in the universe, and absolutely not
just about sex, sexuality or the genitals.

Even in India, Tantra and Tantric ideas developed much


later than the first mentionings of the Linga. Tantra entered
the stage around 500 CE as esoteric traditions of Hinduism
and Buddhism emerging from Vishnu, Shiva or Shakti
centered practices. In Tantric teachings, emotions,
eroticism, sensuality and sexuality received more
prominence than in previous Indian Vedic systems, and
subsequently in the 20th century the Neo-Tantra
movement took up Lingam and Yoni concepts as key
elements for its work with sacred and spiritual sexuality.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 7
What Is Lingam Massage?
Lingam Massage is a Neo-Tantric Massage modality
generally thought to have been developed by Joseph
Kramer in the 1980s in the USA. It can be considered the
male version of a Tantric Yoni Massage. Although a
Lingam Massage is a specialization, and focuses primarily
on the male genitalia, it’s typically accompanied by a full
body Tantric Massage or Taoist Erotic Massage.

The Lingam Massage includes acupressure on points


around the Lingam (the penis), testicles, the inner thighs
and groin, and the therapist usually also works around the
anus, perineum and with the prostate (internally or
externally). The idea is to release tensions and blockages
within the abdomen, anus, anal canal (rectum) and genital
organs with the aim of physical health benefits or perhaps
rather with the goal of releasing emotional and sexual
trauma.

Although the penis has become almost synonymous with


Lingam, a Lingam, also called Linga or Shiva Linga, is
much more than that. It’s foremost an abstract
representation of the Hindu God Shiva in Indic Shaivism.
It’s a symbol revered in Hindu temples and in shrines or in
natural objects, such as naturally phallic-shaped stones,
and so on. It’s considered a divine symbol of generative
creative energy, where a phallus or phallic like object is
worshiped as a symbolic representation of the Deity Shiva.

It’s thought that this blend of Indian Tantric, Taoist


philosophy, and Western based therapeutic massage is
helpful for healing or alleviating fertility problems,
prostatitis, benign prostate enlargement, urinary tract
issues, sexual and emotional traumas, premature

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 8
ejaculation, low libido, and relief of stress, depression or
anxiety, among other pathologies.

Of late however, a Lingam Massage is increasingly


positioned as only an erotic pleasure massage, in which
the client is able to experience multiple full-body orgasms
throughout a session and afterwards. The name Lingam
Massage today is too often used as a fancy name for a
sensual erotic oil massage or penis massage and finishing
hand-job or mouth-job, the more standard Happy Ending
idea, instead of being a genuine Tantric Lingam Massage
with a more spiritual esoteric and vital energetic aim.

Nevertheless, the authentic idea behind a Lingam Massage


is for a man to completely embrace and accept his Lingam
as part of his whole being. That would stimulate a man to
have a more full sexual life, an ability to experience sex
throughout the whole body and to be connected as a whole
with himself, others and the world around him. A Lingam
Massage is therefore also called Manhood Massage,
because an important goal of the treatment is for a man to
“own” or “re-own” his total manhood.

A Lingam Massage is sensual, erotic and pleasurable, but


it’s certainly not necessarily purely sexual, although an
erection, ejaculation or orgasm may occur. Originally, the
Lingam Massage was rather positioned as a Tantric
initiation to honor and worship every part of the body, with
the goal of becoming a complete, whole person and not a
person separated in a man on one side and his genitals on
the other side.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Benefits of Lingam Massage
A Lingam Massage is primarily intended to work as a
genital and sexual healing massage by releasing
emotional, physical and traumatic blockages, and enabling
men to re-experience their complete sensual, creative and
spiritual manhood.

Additionally, a Lingam Massage can be given purely as a


sexual pleasure massage.

The various benefits of a Lingam Massage:

 Awakens the penis, testicles, and prostate (G-spot or


P-Spot), enabling more sensitivity and pleasure;
 Opens up the opportunity to experience full-body
orgasms;
 Increases prostate health by, for instance, alleviating
benign prostate enlargement and prostatitis;
 Increases body awareness and supports the body to
become more erogenous, sensitive, and orgasmic;
 Increases blood circulation to the genitals, inducing
more intense feelings and better genital health;
 Promotes fertility;
 Helps to control orgasms (deepening, expanding,
prolonging, etc);
 Helps to better relax the body and surrender to
pleasurable feelings;
 Helps to control erections;
 Increases libido and sexual pleasure;
 Increases self-awareness, self-trust, and self-respect;
 Stimulates mental health, healthy relationships,
personal development, and spiritual practice;
 Removes feelings of guilt and shame;

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 10
 Helps to control and relax abdominal muscles, pelvic
muscles, and the urinary tract system;
 Releases general anxieties, trauma, emotional
blockages, stress and tensions (both physical and
emotional);
 Improves bowel movement, digestion, and decreases
constipation.

Intimacy Aspects and Consent
Massage comes with touch, is in many ways touch, and the
sort of touch used in massage comes with closeness,
kindness, lovingness, gentleness, togetherness, and a
certain type of intimacy. This is even more prominently the
case for sensual and erotic massages, such as the Lingam
Massage.

Reaching a (binding) agreement (also called consent) with


the therapist of what exactly the boundaries of a session
are is one of the first things that need to be addressed
when engaging in a Lingam Massage. By the way, this
goes both ways: not only you convey your wishes, but the
massage therapist will also let you know what his or her
way of working is and what the limits are.

In any case, let’s take a look at the several aspects of


intimacy that surround a session and how consent and
trust play their role in it.

Physical Intimacy
To help, support, and heal people, it’s important for a
therapist to understand the reasons why a client seeks
treatment. There are a variety of motives and one of those
is the fact that many people just miss to be touched
physically — fully and wholly. Some people haven’t been
touched kindly or closely for many, many years, and let’s
not forget — loving, compassionate and caring touch can
work miracles.

Therapists need to deal with this type of demand and act


carefully, responsibly, sensibly and with integrity while
giving sessions. The last thing any client needs is to
experience a feeling of abuse. On the contrary, the client

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 12
needs to feel a safe and trusting space being able to open-
up, relax, and let go genuinely.

Another intimacy issue is that some clients may feel


ashamed of their bodies or certain parts of their bodies.
They may have an erroneous idea about the “ugliness” of
their bodies or specific body parts or they may have actual
malformations or illnesses. Here also, respect is needed for
this kind of feelings while at the same time nurturing the
proper environment for clients.

Emotional Intimacy
Especially with therapeutic massage sessions a therapist
will first talk intensively with the client. Many physical health
problems have a mental, psychological, or emotional
background — partially or even fully.

Aspects of confidentiality, privacy and trust apply here and


what is said and talked about should stay within the
boundaries of the session. Sometimes the massage
therapist is pushed in the role of a counselor and — except
for being a licensed psychologist at the same time — he or
she needs to be careful with this and know well where
limits and limitations are with regard to giving psychological
advice or guidelines.

Therapeutic Genital Treatments


With therapeutic sexual or genital massage treatments
such as the Lingam Massage, the therapist needs to
handle a very specific realm.

The client comes for genital or sexual healing and the


therapist will most likely touch and manipulate the private
and intimate parts. Here it’s of absolute necessity to be
very clear beforehand about the goal of the session and set
strict boundaries for both sides.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 13
On the other hand, certainly with therapeutic genital
massage and bodywork treatments, the client also needs
the space to a guilt-free experience of naturally appearing
feelings of arousal or even a sexual orgasm, without
getting the feeling that it’s something wrong or to be
ashamed of.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 14
Emotional and Trauma Release
With a Lingam Massage it’s quite common that, apart from
sexual release, pleasure, relief or healing, also emotional
and trauma release can occur during a session — one may
have outbursts of laughter or may start to cry or scream, or
what not.

That’s all nothing to worry about: in fact it’s a healthy


cleansing process, a release of psychological and
emotional tension stored in the body.

Not all treatments evoke strong emotional release, yet it is


still important to be prepared — one shouldn’t get into
further distress if body or mind starts to react uncontrollably
causing spontaneous emotional outbursts.

It’s hard to say in advance who will experience profound


trauma or emotional release during a session, but in
general it can be said that those who are already “open to
work on themselves” will more easily experience emotional
re-balancing. Yet, it can also happen with women not at all
“open or receptive” who suddenly — to their own surprise
and astonishment — experience strong emotional
outbursts.

Nevertheless, emotional release is not always that obvious


or intense. Sometimes a person just need some pleasure,
warmth and comforting — the accepting, caring, non-
judgmental touch of another human being. We are all
human after all.

As it’s not to be known beforehand how one will respond to


a treatment exactly, we have listed the symptoms i.e.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 15
expressions of what perhaps might happen during (or even
after) a session:
 crying or laughing;
 shaking/trembling;
 screaming/shouting;
 coughing;
 cursing;
 hitting (even hitting the masseur);
 spasms and cramps;
 getting aroused and/or having an orgasm;
 tickling, ticklish feeling;
 lightness in the head/feeling like wanting to faint;
 heavy sweating;
 feelings of anger;
 feeling very cold or very hot;
 feeling very tired;
 getting very silent or in trance;
 feeling extremely relaxed;
 wanting to vomit;
 wanting to stop the massage session;
 getting a bitter taste in the mouth;
 having memories of traumas which come to the
surface.

One or more of the symptoms mentioned above may show


during a session, but some might as well come about in the
days following the treatment. In general, symptoms can
show up to a week after.

Choosing Your Massage
Therapist
A Tantric Lingam Massage is not just a massage, but very
intimate and emotional work, and choosing the right
therapist is of great importance to avoid traumatic
experiences on one side and to get the best out of what a
Lingam Massage can offer you on the other side.

Mind that Lingam Massage practices are not regulated,


which implies that anyone can give a Lingam Massage
session, qualified professionals, specialists and non-
specialists included.

Important aspects of choosing your therapist are: his or her


certification and/or qualification, clear communication,
mutual consent, hygiene, and understanding what exactly
the massage therapist will offer (or intends to offer).

Choosing a male or female therapist depends on your own


preferences, that is, choose who you feel better with.

Session Time & Costs


A genuine, complete Lingam Massage treatment session
takes time. Depending on you and the therapist, and the
extent of the work that will be done (initiations, rituals,
breathing exercises, prostate massage, abdominal
massage, anal and prostate massage, etc.), a session will
take at least between one and a half and four hours, or
even longer.

Doing a session in less time than about ninety minutes is


actually not possible (unless it’s rather a straightforward
Happy Ending Lingam Massage), because there’s simply a

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 17
lot of work involved, which at the minimum includes inquiry,
talking, coaching, the session itself (which is slow, gentle
and time-consuming work), feedback, and rest time after
the session.

Mind that time is money. A good, thorough Lingam


Massage is generally rather pricy (which, by the way, also
depends very much on the country where you would take a
session). In any case, don’t just go for the cheapest option.
The work is much to intimate to go for a bargain.

Qualification of the Therapist


Choose a session with a qualified massage practitioner.
This may be a certified Sexological Bodyworker, Somatic
Sexuality Bodyworker, or Tantra Massage Specialist. Of
course, you can also get a recommendation from someone
you trust.

It doesn’t mean that therapists that don’t have an official


certification or qualification are not good at their work, but,
certainly when starting out with Lingam Massage, it’s better
to first be on the safe side. That is, do research about the
background and official qualifications of the practitioner
before you book the session.

Research includes checking out the therapist’s website and


social media. Read what they write about giving a Lingam
Massage, or maybe even watch some videos of the
practitioner if those are available. It’s important that you
have a good “vibe” with what the practitioner intends and
“radiates.”

If you have questions about the practitioner, the session, or


about your needs, reach out. Email, chat, call! You can
also ask for a consultation before a session (for instance,
online via Skype or Zoom) so that you can build a
relationship and establish trust.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 18
Consent (agreement about what will happen during the
session), safety, and the boundaries of a session are of
primordial importance. These topics need to be discussed
before the session.

Perhaps it goes too far to sign a “session contract” or


consent form, but that may certainly be an option. Another
option that can be built in to ensure a safe session is to
agree on a so-called safe word, which is word you agree
on with the practitioner, which, when said by you, will
immediately stop the session.

In any case, always discuss safety and boundaries before


the actual session begins.

Hygiene
Hygiene is of course imperative to avoid infections and
simply to have a comfortable feeling. Check if the place
where you will get the session looks fresh and clean and if
there’s an opportunity to shower.

The therapist also needs to be clean and work safely (for


instance use gloves for internal work). Of course, a
hygienic environment and working style is often something
you can only really assess when meeting the therapist.
Nevertheless, if things are not as they should be, well, then
just cancel the session and leave.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 19
Precautions and
Contraindications
Before starting a Lingam Massage, the therapist should
ask you about your mental, emotional, and physical
condition, your daily activities, work, hobbies, sports, and
medical history. And of course, last but not least, he or she
will inquire about the reasons for the visit, that is, what
exactly the issues are you want to see resolved.

It’s important for the therapist to have this information in


order to know how you should be approached, and what
procedures and techniques can or cannot be applied, and if
there needs to be extra attention with certain parts of your
body or if there’s need to avoid working with certain parts.
Sometimes, it may also turn out that a session is not
recommended.

In general, a Lingam Massage can be given to any healthy


person. Of course, the length of the session and the
techniques applied will depend on your needs, abilities
and/or capabilities.

Important Notes
To avoid embarrassment and confusion, and to build-in
clarity, it’s important to know beforehand when you will be
expected to be nude or clothed. It’s also good practice to
make clear for both sides if the session is of an erotic or
only of a strictly therapeutic nature.

Mind that the therapist should always wear surgical gloves


when massaging or treating you internally.

Precautions
LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
PAGE: 20
 As older persons are more likely to have osteoporosis
(porous and fragile bones), extra care needs to be taken
not to put too much pressure on the bones and
articulations. This counts as well for anybody else
having osteoporosis.
 Caution needs to be observed if you have diabetes,
heart diseases, built-in cardiac equipment, asthma, high
blood pressure or having had a (cerebral) stroke in the
past. All techniques that raise blood pressure
substantially should be avoided. Arterial compressions
shouldn’t be performed at all.
 Massage should not be done on tired or sore muscles.
 Massage around the ears, the temples, under the
armpits, behind the knees, the knees, under the chin,
the eyelids, on the crown of the head, and internally
(rectal), should be done gently.
 Massage is not applied on bones, the collar bone
(clavicle), the spinal column, the elbow line, on
inflammations or swollen areas, on skin infections or
problems, on the blood vessels of the neck (carotid
artery), on or directly around broken bones, a surgical
area, ulcer or wound.
 Massage is not applied on areas with dermatitis,
arthritis, phlebitis. Massage around the area is permitted
though.
 No massage, stretching or pressure is applied on areas
where you have artificial joints or (transplanted) organs.
 No massage is done directly on varicose veins.
 No massage is done on (organ or vertebral) hernias,
neither forcible actions applied to push them back in
their original position.
 No spinal twists are applied when you have problems
with the vertebral column, like bulging, slipped or broken
disks, or hernias.
 No massage is done on/in the abdominal area if you
have finished a meal, or have serious stomach or

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 21
intestinal problems, or if you are pregnant (except for
resolving specific issues during the pregnancy).
 No massage or rubbing is done or strong pressure given
on “thin skin.”
 The therapist should be informed if you are allergic for
certain ingredients that may be used in oils, decoctions,
creams and balms.
 The therapist should be informed if you have any active
infections.

Contraindications
 You shouldn’t take a session if you have an STD, STI,
including dormant HSV (herpes), or chronic yeast
infections or thrush (fungal infection).
 No session should be given if you are in an emotionally
or physically abusive relationship.
 Sessions should not be given when you are drunk or
when you have a fever.
 No session should be taken if you have been diagnosed
with having a mental disorder.
 Sessions should not be given if you have an active
cancer, have had an internal operation in the six months
preceding the session, or if you had a relatively severe
accident in the past 72 hours.
 If you have an infectious disease, like a flu, diphtheria,
tuberculosis, you shouldn’t be given a session, because
the therapist exposes him or herself to an infection. This
goes of course also the other way around.
 No session should be given if you suffer from severe
prostate, testicles or urinary tract pain and have never
seen a medical professional.
 No massage should be given if you have been sexually
abused and have never seen a medical professional or
a therapist before the session.
 No massage should be given if you are bleeding, self-
harming, or rushed.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 22
 It’s not advised to take a session if you are going
through a very stressful time in your life.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 23
Before a Lingam Massage
Session
A Lingam Massage usually includes massage of the
abdominal and pelvic area, and sometimes also internal
massage in/through the rectal area (typically to massage
the prostate gland). It’s advised not to eat at least two to
three hours before a session. If possible, it’s also better to
empty the bowels beforehand.

Make time for a session. That is, reserve the whole day if
possible. A thorough Lingam Massage session can take
from two to up to six hours. You will also need to go to the
studio or place of the therapist (although a therapist may
come to you also), which takes time. Afterwards you’ll need
time to go home and rest. Relaxing after a session is
important to let body and mind calm down, digest, and
recover.

Make sure you’re clean and fresh. Take a shower or bath


beforehand. Take those things with you that you think you
may want to use: a towel, a bottle of water, a refreshener, a
disinfector, clean clothes, or whatever it is you think you
would want at some point during your visit.

The session itself will always first start with a thorough


introduction. That is, the practitioner will talk to you at least
half an hour to an hour before actually starting the
massage. Knowing what you need and want (or not need
or not want) and knowing what you can handle physically
and emotionally is very important. Besides that, one needs
to get used to one another and feel a connection and trust.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 24
Don’t hesitate to leave if something doesn’t feel good. Just
pay (if necessary) and leave; that’s much better than going
through a disturbing or even traumatic massage
experience.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 25
What Happens During a
Session?
Foremost, a Lingam Massage is therapeutic work aimed at
healing emotional issues and emotionally related physical
issues. Nevertheless, although not intended as a so-called
“Happy Ending Massage,” pleasure, fun and even orgasms
naturally make part of a session and the healing process.

As already explained in the previous chapter, the


practitioner will always start with a thorough introduction
and enquiry. The therapist may also ask you to take a
shower beforehand.

During the actual massage session, the practitioner is fully


clothed. There are sessions where this is not the case, but
this is then something you may want yourself or, in any
case, need to know about beforehand. Also, you will not be
asked to touch the therapist’s body parts, such as the
buttocks, breasts, or genitals. Do remember that a Lingam
Massage is a one-way touch practice, which means that
you are the receiver and the therapist the giver.

The massage therapist will only touch you with the hands,
not with the mouth or any other body part. Depending on
the way a therapist works, he or she may use certain sex
toys or essentials as an aid, such as, for instance, a
prostate massager, herbal compresses, massage oils or
other lubricants.

During a session, you can always stop and /or leave at any
time for whatever reason you feel or think. A professional
therapist will completely understand this.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 26
Usually, other people (a friend or someone you trust)
should/will not be present during the actual session (in the
treatment room), unless you would personally want that to
feel safer (and if the therapist consents to such an
approach).

Within a Lingam Massage a variety of massage techniques


may be applied, including touching, stroking, acupressure,
tapping, circling, pushing, pulling, tugging, rolling, deep
breathing, and, if consent is given, internal finger
penetration to massage the anus, rectum, and prostate.
Mind that a session usually includes the use of oils and/or
lubricants.

Additionally, certain activities or practices may come into


play, such as Lingam Mapping, Tantric Breathwork,
Orgasm Control and Edging, Sexual Dearmoring, Anal
Massage, and the Prostate G-Spot Massage. Read more
about these and other modalities in our section Lingam
Massage – Specific Elements.

Mind that each practitioner carries out a Lingam Massage


differently, depending on his or her style and the
therapeutic goal of the session. Yet typically, a treatment
will start with a gentle and caressing full body Tantric Oil
Massage, while gradually increasing focus on your
erogenous zones.

Heading on to the penis, testicles, and further internally via


the rectum to the prostate will be done only when you have
given consent and moreover, when you are completely
relaxed and prepared after a general full body Tantric
Massage.

Some Lingam Massage therapists explicitly begin a


session with practicing Tantric Breathing techniques with
you. This is done to relax you, connect deeper with your

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 27
body, and to give you more energy. It’s also a tool that
teaches you to use breathing to heighten your experience
during the massage.

Very much depending on the therapist, certain Tantric


welcoming, awakening, and/or honoring rituals may be
performed. These can be done standing or sitting (on the
floor) and can, for instance, include chanting, mantras,
hugging and/or lightly caressing your body.

A special ambiance may be created, which, again


depending on the therapist, may include darkening the
room, burning incense, candlelight, blindfolding, initial
touch, and background music.

After the preliminaries you will be invited to lie down nude


on a massage table, face down, sometimes starting with a
towel on your buttocks. This is when the actual Lingam
Massage session starts.

Subsequently, your back, neck, shoulders and arms will be


massaged with (warm) oil. Gradually the massage will
extend to the lower parts of your body, that is, to the
buttocks, thighs, the lower legs and feet.

After being asked to turn around, the therapist will start with
the front side of your body. The head, face, neck, arms,
belly and hips will be massaged, followed by the erogenous
zones, such as the breast, nipples, and inner thighs, while
finally heading to the penis, testicles, and perineum. With
consent, internal work (rectum and prostate) will be carried
out.

Many different kinds of sensations may be experienced


during the session, which can include pleasurable feelings,
emotional release, crying, shaking, full body orgasms
(without physical ejaculation), physical orgasms, and

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 28
energy whirls throughout the complete body, just to give
some examples.

After the session, you will be given some time to relax


while lying on the massage table. Usually, the practitioner
will use hot towels to take off the oils. You can also take a
shower if a bathing facility is available.

After the Lingam Massage
Immediately after a session, you may feel in trance, tired,
or perhaps the opposite: extremely invigorated. Some
clients actually fall asleep. Make sure that you get the
space and opportunity to calm down before leaving the
session location.

In general, it’s advised to take it easy after a therapeutic


massage session, and this is likewise the case for a
Lingam Massage.

Especially if strong emotional or trauma release has


occurred during a session, you may need days to
rebalance and recover. The effects of the massage may be
felt up to a week later. This can take many forms: mood
swings, feeling muscle soreness, feeling highs or lows,
active or passive, and what not.

Most people will have found a new equilibrium within five to


seven days, but exceptions can be the case where clients
need ten to fourteen days to digest the work.

Inquire with your therapist if you are allowed to contact him


or her to give feedback or to ask questions with regard to
the after-period.

Lingam Massage – Specific
Elements

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Anal Massage
An Anal Massage is typically accompanied with a full body
massage, such as a Tantric Massage, and it includes the
genital area and massage points in or around the anus
often combined with an internal Prostate Massage (in the
case of men receiving a session). Sometimes an Anal
Massage is also called a Rosebud Massage or Bottom
Massage.

An Anal Massage can have therapeutic aims in order to


release tensions around the anus, rectum or within the
abdomen to heal sexual trauma, or it can be rather
sensual-erotic, more focused on pleasure. As the opening
of the anus has many nerve endings it can be very
enjoyable for both men and women.

Therapeutically, an Anal Massage may be applied during


Neo-Tantric De-armoring (dearmouring) sessions to help
heal emotional wounds of physical abuse or rape,
mistreatment by sexual or life partners, release stress,
frustration, guilt, shame, anger, disappointment and fear, or
simply to help the receiver to (re)discover (new) feelings of
pleasure.

Nevertheless, it’s rather important to have a competent


professional doing the massage, not only because of the
physical precautions that need to be taken into account,
but especially when there’s a history of sexual trauma. Re-
awakening a trauma can be an opportunity to heal, but the
therapist needs to be prepared to help the receiver cope
with these experiences.

Edging and Orgasm Control
Orgasm Control and Edging have become almost
synonymous phrases nowadays, but from out Tantric and
Taoist perspectives there’s quite a difference. To enlighten
the topic a bit, let’s first say it like this: Edging is a form of
Orgasm Control, but Orgasm Control goes way beyond
Edging.

Today, Edging is quite trendy and heavily advertised, and


to make a long story short: it’s practiced mainly to retain an
orgasm in order to prolong masturbation and sexual
intercourse. The idea is to have more and longer sensual
i.e. sexual pleasure or more intense orgasms (the latter
due to sexual tension build-up). It can also be used to
prevent premature ejaculation, in that sense becoming a
help or perhaps a rather therapeutic practice.

Edging is usually done by purposefully stopping thrusting


(intercourse) or rubbing (or whatever means of genital
arousal) for a short period (perhaps 5 or 10 seconds, or so)
in order to prevent the climax i.e. an external orgasm (and
the following abrupt end of the sexual activity).

Now, Orgasm Control from out a Tantric or Taoist


perspective (both philosophies maintain the same concept
about it) is done to raise internal sexual energy levels in
order to attain physical health benefits, higher levels of
consciousness, personal growth and health, including
finally liberation, enlightenment, spiritual union and bliss.

The core idea of Orgasm Control is that sexual energy is


mostly concentrated in reproductive fluids, in the case of
men, the semen. Thus, if a man can control ejaculating, he
can become multi-orgasmic, and will avoid losing sexual

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 33
energy. Female orgasms, with some exceptions, are
thought to generally not result in loss of sexual energy.

But it doesn’t stop there. It’s about controlling and


redirecting this sexual energy (which is thought to be the
primordial creative energy) through the body, from lower
Chakras to higher Chakras. In fact, it’s about working with
Kundalini energy.

In Taoist teachings, it’s about moving sexual energy


through the so-called Dantian, energy centers in the body
which can be seen as rather similar to the Indian Chakras.
The Dantian refer to “elixir of life” points or areas where
Jing, Qi and Shen energy essences are stored and
transformed subsequently, which result in regenerative
capacity, health, longevity, spiritual growth and
enlightenment.

Apart from the end goal of divine bliss and enlightenment


(when we consider Orgasm Control as a spiritual practice),
the fact of circulating sexual Kundalini energy through the
body can have healing effects because it unblocks (or
opens) the energy centers and energy channels, and with
that, releases tensions on both a physical and emotional
level, and moreover, stimulates optimal functioning of the
human body and mind.

Tantra and Taoism teach certain techniques, such as


Mudras, Bandhas, Meditation techniques, Yoga Asanas,
and Breathwork, which can be used to control ejaculation.
In fact, certain muscles are involved in the ejaculation
process and by identifying these muscles and controlling
these muscles, one can control orgasms.

But also specific massages, such as a variety of Tantric,


Taoist, and prostate massages can be applied to make
Orgasm Control easier to achieve.

Emotional and Sexual
Dearmoring
Emotional and sexual dearmoring (de-armoring) massage
and bodywork is the Neo-Tantric idea of removing our
emotional armor or shield, that is, the emotional and
subsequent physical protections in our bodies that hinder
us to function wholly, spontaneously and healthy on a
sexual, emotional, physical and spiritual level.

A sexual-emotional armor obstructs us to fully express our


manhood or womanhood. Thus, in practice, de-armoring is
about releasing physical, mental and psychological sexual
blockages, and with that also actual physical pains and
numbness in and around the anus, vagina, uterus, penis,
testicles, clitoris, groin, prostate, abdominal and pelvic
region, to name the most common areas or organs.

Dearmoring is about clearing blockages built over years


because of trauma, emotional pressure, and stress that
emerged from one’s upbringing, one’s specific cultural
society and mold, one’s working environment or from
deeply damaging experiences such as sexual harassment
and sexual abuse, gender issues, or prejudice, and such.

As the mind reflects itself in the body and vice versa, it’s
thought that by coping with (and subsequently releasing)
disturbing emotions or trauma through psycho-physical
work, one will be able to experience increased pleasure,
more and better orgasms or be able to control orgasms
better, have a better sex-life, feel more free, to finally
becoming a more whole, complete and balanced person.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 35
Thus, by manually stimulating areas of tightness, tension,
contraction and pain with massage and acupressure, men
and women can release mental, emotional, and physical
blockages. Of course, there’s also a whole lot of
psychological work to be done, but by accepting that one
can come to emotional and trauma release through
physical treatments, being “open” for it, half of the work has
already been done, so to say.

Typical bodywork modalities that support this kind of de-


armoring work are Karsai Nei Tsang, Chi Nei Tsang,
Sexological Bodywork, Tantra, Anal and Perineum
Massage, Yoni and Lingam Massage, Lingam Mapping,
Yoni Wand application, Urut Batin, Juagen, and Jabkasai,
to name some of the important massage and bodywork
modalities that can come to help.

Full-Body Orgasms
By massaging the prostate it’s possible for men to reach an
orgasm. Typically, an orgasm will be achieved by doing an
internal Prostate Massage, applied either with the fingers
or with sex toys. Some men also achieve this through anal
intercourse.

Prostate orgasms are also called P-Spot orgasms, labeled


as such because of the similarities in intensity with G-Spot
orgasms of women.

Accounts by men who have experienced prostate orgasms


generally describe it as being stronger, more intense, more
pleasurable, with a longer duration, and more widespread
through the body (full body orgasm) than so-called penile
orgasms. Prostate orgasms may be ejaculatory or non-
ejaculatory.

There are also men who have described a so-called Super


Orgasm (Super-O), which seems to feel like multiple,
continuous waves of orgasms felt through the whole body
which causes the body to shudder.

Accounts of the durations of the Super-O range from “a bit


longer” to “several minutes longer” than traditional penile
orgasms, aside from descriptions like “total bliss,”
“heavenly,” “timeless,” “transcendental,” and “completely
revitalized,” among other superlatives

According to Tantric and Taoist concepts, non-ejaculatory


full-body orgasms distribute sexual energy through the
body and transform it into other “essences,” which are
crucial for overall health, longevity and spiritual attainment.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 37
A general concept of both Tantric and Taoist practices is to
control ejaculation and to prolong or to have inner full-body
orgasms.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 38
Lingam Mapping
Lingam Mapping is part of the Genital Mapping paradigm
and is considered a “navigation” and discovery of the penis
and related organs and parts, in order to find areas of
numbness, contraction, pain, insensitivity, disconnection
and tension on the physical but also on the emotional level.

The troublesome points or areas found are thought to be


signs of some form of physical or emotional trauma or
stress. In fact, a “map” is created from one’s inner world to
find out what feels good, what feels not so good, what
emotions are triggered where and how, and so on.

It’s an awareness exercise, or therapy if one prefers, to


come to a deeper understanding and connection with
oneself. It’s the start of a healing process, because all
healing starts with being fully conscious of what’s “wrong”
or what needs attention.

Afterwards, several treatment modalities can come to help


to resolve issues, such as Lingam Massage, Testicles
Massage, Prostate Massage, Tantra Massage, Karsai Nei
Tsang, Chi Nei Tsang, abdominal massages, and other
genital massages or bodywork. Apart from manual work
with the hands and fingers, tools and sex toys may be used
also.

If a Lingam Mapping therapist is involved, he or she will


typically coach and talk with you trying to get to the surface
what issues are concerned both physically and mentally.

The therapist will also explain all about the Lingam, its
function and its several relevant anatomical parts, such as
the pelvic floor, testicles, urinary tract system, and the

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 39
prostate. With consent a start will be made to, together with
the therapist, explore the penis and other relevant areas
such as the testicles, anus, abdomen, pelvic area, and the
prostate.

In any case, Lingam Mapping carried out as a stand-alone


modality can already help to release tensions in muscles
and ligaments, increase sensitivity, increase awareness,
educate about sexual anatomy, orgasms, sex and
pleasure, release shame or guilt, and to deal better with a
range of other things in relation to a man’s sexuality and
genitals.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Multi-Orgasmic States
Drawing on ancient Taoist Sexual Practices and the more
contemporary works of Mantak Chia and the Neo-Tantra
movement, the idea of Multi-Orgasm embraces the notion
that one can reach extended pleasure and spiritual states
that surpass the momentary ecstasy of a singular orgasm.
Moreover, multiple types of orgasms are possible.

The core concept of the Taoist practices is to cultivate and


channel sexual energy (Orgasmic Chi or Sexual Chi) to
reach an expanded state of body awareness and pleasure,
and increased spiritual consciousness. In addition, Sexual
Chi is used to create a better physical health, longevity
(prolonged life), and an improved vitality and creativity.

For both men and women it can mean being able to


experience the full range of orgasmic potential, full-body
orgasms, and make love longer and more intensely. Other
benefits are thought to be the enhancement of vital energy
and vigor, keeping the sexual organs healthy and optimally
functional, and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.

In the work as proclaimed by Mantak Chia, Karsai Nei


Tsang Massage, Chi Nei Tsang Massage, Healing Love,
and Sexual Qigong play an important role to unlock Multi-
Orgasmic potential.

Multi-Orgasmic concepts and bodywork can also be found


in the work of, for instance, Joseph Kramer (Taoist Erotic
Massage, Lingam Massage and Yoni Massage) and
Andreas Rothe (Tantra Massage and Yin-Yang Massage).

Penis Massage
Although a Penis Massage can be part of any pleasure-
based Sensual Erotic Massage treatment — done by
oneself as a masturbation practice or given by a therapist
— it’s also applied to alleviate or cure issues with
erections.

The practice applies massage techniques such as rubbing,


pulling, stretching, stroking and pressing to increase blood
circulation in order to have full erections making the penile
parts harder and stiffer. Acupressure techniques may be
part of the treatment, including the use of base or herbal
oils to aid in the massage.

Additionally, it’s thought that massaging the penis


increases testosterone levels, enhances libido, aids in
structural penis enlargement, and makes tissues and veins
stronger, thus helping men to get longer lasting and firmer
erections.

Generally, a Penis Massage will be (or may be) part of a


range of erotic, sexual or genital massage treatment
modalities which address much more than the penis alone.
Think of treatments such as such as Urut Batin Manhood
Massage, Juagen Manhood Massage, Tantric Lingam
Massage, Karsai Nei Tsang, and Mak Erot Massage, to
name some popular modalities.

Prostate G-Spot Massage
The G-Spot for men is supposedly connected to the
prostate gland. It’s actually the P-Spot (the Prostate Spot
or Prostate Pleasure Spot). It’s named after the G-Spot for
women, the latter being located about an inch inside the
vaginal opening on the upper vaginal wall.

A G-Spot Massage for men is in fact a Prostate Massage


and it’s also called “Prostate Milking” or “Prostate
Drainage,” because a prostate gland will excrete remnants
of fluids when massaged. Mind that excretion of these
prostatic fluids (Prostate Milk) doesn’t necessarily involve
an erection or orgasm. Moreover, prostatic fluid by itself
doesn’t contain sperm.

One way to do a male G-Spot massage is accessing the


prostate via the anal canal (rectum). Another way is
externally massaging the perineum, or doing so-called
Kegel exercises.

Apart from claimed health benefits of massaging the area,


it can give Full-Body Orgasms or Super-O Orgasms, which
are generally experienced as more intense and more
pleasurable than penile orgasms. In fact, the many nerve
endings around the prostate give enhanced sensual
pleasure to a Prostate Massage.

Another purpose of this massage is to help release


negative emotions stored in the male prostate, which is an
idea mostly connected to Tantric and Taoist concepts.

Tantra and Neo-Tantra
Tantra systems, spirituality, philosophy and practices
originate in India and became more prominent on the
“Indian spiritual stage” around 500 CE. What Tantra is
exactly, is a topic of ongoing debate, and there are many
interpretations. All these varied ideas are not the subject of
this chapter. We’d only like to give you a general idea of
what Tantra and Neo-Tantra is about.

What is known as Tantra is a system or methodology in


Indian Hindu spiritual, cosmological, and religious
traditions. The scope of topics is vast and Tantra deals with
the evolution and history of the world, with male and female
Deities, Gods and Goddesses, ritual worship, magic,
sorcery, occultism, divination, astrology, esoteric practices,
Kundalini energy, purification techniques for body and
mind, self-development, self-realization and enlightenment,
and divine sexuality.

The techniques and methods used in Tantra range from


rituals, ceremonies, fasting, dietary restrictions, pujas
(worshipping acts), mental and physical exercises,
meditation, chanting, devotional activities, Mantras (word,
sounds or statements repeated to aid concentration in
meditation), Yantras (geometric diagrams, or other objects
used as an aid to meditation in Tantric worship),
Breathwork, Yoga, dance, massage, well, you name it.

In the 19th century, when India resided under British rule,


Indian Vedic philosophy, spirituality and religion started to
find its way to the West resulting in an increasing number
of admirers and followers. The material that came to the
West included many aspects, such as the Vedas,
Upanishads, other ancient texts such as the Kama Sutra,

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 44
Yoga philosophy and practices, Ayurveda medicine, and
yes, also Tantra.

Then, at the end of the 1960s, in line with the sexual


revolution in the West, Tantra practices saw a strong
interest and revival, being transformed in what today is
commonly labeled as the Neo-Tantra Movement. Neo-
Tantra practices, such as contemporary Tantric Massage
and Yoni Mapping, draw from a wide range of techniques
having elements of traditional Indic Tantra philosophy and
rituals, Indian Yoga, Bioenergetics, and contemporary
sexual therapeutic, spiritual, massage and bodywork
techniques borrowed from teachers and psychologists such
as Wilhelm Reich, Carl Jung, Carl Rogers, Alexander
Lowen, Mantak Chia, Joseph Kramer and Annie Sprinkle.

Nevertheless, today it often seems that the “Tantra thing”


has gone wild. Many offerings of Tantric Massage therapy
for instance, are very often only focused on erotic pleasure
elements, using trendy labels as Healing Tantric Massage,
Sacred Yoni Massage, Lingam Manhood Discovery, or
Tantric G-Spot Sacred Prostate Massage, simply to give a
fashionable and attractive name to more straightforward
sensual and erotic massages or “Happy Endings.”

It has become increasingly hard to distinguish what’s more


or less “authentic” and what’s not, and the number of
Tantric trainings, workshops and courses and Tantric
treatment offerings is simply astonishing, with frequent
additions of new schools, trainers, therapists, and
treatment modalities.

Whatever the case, and however you’d like to interpret the


Neo-Tantra movement, in the past decades it has become
crystal clear that the world, not only the West, still very
much struggles with questions around suppressed and
distorted sexuality, sensuality, intimacy, and eroticism, and

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 45
desperately tries to find new and updated ways to solve
those.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 46
Tantric Breathing
Breathwork, a modality which arose in the late 1960s and
1970s, is a label for a variety of conscious breathing
practices which are thought to influence one’s mental,
emotional and/or physical state.

In fact, it’s a method of breath control (actually various


breathing techniques are used depending on the type of
Breathwork) with the goal to induce changed states of
consciousness and to have an effect on physical and
mental well-being.

Although forms of Breathwork existed already in various


ancient bodywork, martial arts and spiritual traditions (such
as Pranayama in Indian Yoga), it was first studied and
practiced in the West by Wilhelm Reich (1897 – 1957), an
influential Austrian doctor of medicine and psychoanalyst.

Apart from promoting simple relaxation, it can be used


therapeutically to stimulate physical, emotional, and
spiritual changes, to access special — notably spiritual,
hypnotic and trance-like — states of consciousness, and to
release traumatic emotional or sexual experiences.

Today, there are many, many types of Breathwork, such as


Rebirthing Breathwork, Vivation Breathwork, Holotropic
Breathwork, Integrative Breathwork, Transformational
Breathwork, Shamanic Breathwork, Conscious Connected
Breathing, Radiance Breathwork, Zen Yoga Breathwork,
and of course Tantric Breathwork.

Although, here also, there are a variety of Tantric


Breathwork modalities — with different aims, used in
different ways and with different techniques — but the

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 47
principal idea is to release blocked energy, control energy
flow in our bodies, release trauma, and induce well-being
of mind, body and spirit to enable higher spiritual or
consciousness levels within a person.

It’s thought that several benefits can be obtained with the


practice, such as healing sexual blockages and traumas,
integrating our sexuality in our lives, connecting with our
bodies, spiritual development, improving our sex life and
relationship healing, among others.

The practice can be done alone, with a partner, within a


group or with help of a Breathwork therapist. Notable
therapeutic applications can be found, for instance, in
Tantric Coaching, Tantric Massage (including Yoni and
Lingam Massage) and in Sexological Bodywork.

Tantric Rituals
Tantra is known for its vast number of practices, such as
philosophical study, sorcery, divination, occultism,
penance, taboo-breaking activities, meditation, devotion,
Yoga, among others — and to come back to the subject of
this chapter — its Tantric rituals and ceremonies.

A ritual or ceremony can be described as a set of actions


done in a prescribed order. Rituals and ceremonies (called
Dikshas in India) are important in Tantra, notably as Tantric
initiation rites, but special ceremonial forms of worshiping
or devotion are likewise practiced plenty. As for the latter,
think of rituals like Linga-Yoni worshiping, or Shiva and
Shakti Deity worshiping, and such.

Additionally, there are rituals to invoke the grace and


powers of certain Hindu Gods and Goddesses, notably of
Shiva and Shakti reincarnations, or rituals to obtain
realization of desires in the material sphere, the latter often
associated with so-called Black Tantra.

A Tantric initiation is typically done by a Guru (spiritual


teacher) who would give one a secret, personal Mantra (a
sacred utterance or sound, a syllable, word or group of
words), usually bestowed in one-to-one ceremonies, after
which one can take up a specific spiritual discipline or
undergo a certain treatment.

As for an example of taboo-breaking Tantric rituals, there


are lineages (for instance, the Kaula and Vamachara
schools) that perform certain activities as a kind of Tantric
initiation, such as: drinking wine, eating meat fish and
parched grain, and having sex.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 49
Tantric worshiping rituals, which are in fact Bhakti Yoga
activities, are called Pujas in India, and may include
Mantras, Mandalas, Tantras, Yantras, Visualizations,
Chants, and/or meditation or concentration practices. This
often goes together with offering of flowers, burning
incense, prayers, and maybe certain sacred dances.

Today, within the Neo-Tantra movement, rituals and


ceremonies likewise take an important place. Examples
hereof are Tantric Bathing rituals, Welcoming rituals before
a Tantric Massage, Kundalini Energy Awakening initiations,
and Yoni and Lingam Worship (via iconography or
embodied).

Testicles Massage
In this chapter we take a look at the techniques,
characteristics and health benefits of a Testicle Massage
(or plural: Testicles Massage).

The Testes
But before we proceed, first some background info about
the testicles. In a man, a testicle or testis (the plural form is
testicles or testes) is the reproductive gland (a gland is an
organ that excretes substances) that produces sperm and
so-called androgens (a group of hormones), primarily
testosterone.

Sperm i.e. sperm cells are male reproductive cells,


essential for procreation, that is, to having a baby. Sperm
cells fertilize a female reproductive cell, the latter being
called an oocyte or egg.

Testosterone is the most important sex hormone and


anabolic steroid in men. Testosterone doesn’t only play a
crucial role in the development of the male reproductive
organs, such as the prostate and the testes, but it’s also
responsible for characteristics like muscle growth, bone
mass, and body hair. Moreover, testosterone is involved in
creating and maintaining overall physical, emotional, and
sexual well-being.

The testicles are two oval shaped glands — more or less of


similar size — located within the scrotum, which is a sack
of skin that hangs from the body at the front of the
abdominal wall, between the legs. Important for good
testicular health and function is an optimum blood
circulation to the area.

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 51
Testicles Massage
One of the popular ways to naturally activate a proper
blood supply to the testes is through massage therapy. A
Testicles Massage is typically done with the hands (which
should be warm), although one can also use certain tools,
such as sex toys or warm herbal compresses.

It’s good to warm-up the testicles before massaging them,


a practice which already stimulates blood circulation to and
through the testes. For instance, before you start you could
sit in a sauna, take a warm Sitzbath, wrap the goods in a
warm towel, or cup them a while with warm hands.

You can massage by using oils (such as coconut oil or


castor oil) or you can massage without them. A variety of
techniques can be applied, but as the testicles are very
sensitive and quickly prone to injuries, extreme gentleness
is advised. If you feel pain, always massage lighter. Don’t
forget that a Testicles Massage can and should be rather
firm, but it should be pleasurable also.

Common techniques used are massaging around the


scrotum, massage and acupressure on the upper inner
thighs, squeezing the scrotum and testicles, grasping and
pulling the testes down, stretching the testes away from the
penis, circular motions, rubbing them, strokes and pressure
between the testes, stroking the veins and tubes, and
gently tapping the testes with the index and middle fingers.

Although a Testicle Massage can be carried out as a


stand-alone massage modality, done by yourself, a partner,
or by a professional therapist, it’s also often an integral part
of so-called Manhood massages, such as Tantric Lingam
Massage, Taoist Erotic Massage, Jabkasai Massage, and
Karsai Nei Tsang Massage, among other treatment
modalities. Apart from that, it can be part of love-making or
a sensual erotic massage, during which a Testicles

LINGAM MASSAGE | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW


PAGE: 52
Massage is geared to pleasure rather than being a
therapeutic treatment.

Benefits of Testicles Massage


To actually reap the benefits from a Testicles Massage,
mind that you need to massage them regularly, that is, at
least two times a week.

An individual massage session may take about five to


fifteen minutes max.

The Health Benefits:


 longer and harder erections;
 increased sex drive (libido);
 a boost of testosterone, stimulating overall well-being;
 stress relief;
 increased sperm count;
 alleviation of general testicles pains;
 reduction of lumps and swellings;
 reduction of testicular inflammations.
