Since the last blog entry in April last year a lot has changed not only in the world as we know it but with how we operate our Tantric Massage London services as our regular clients will be aware. We’d like to update you on our current situation, location, masseuses and plans for when the Coronavirus lockdown measures ease. Firstly, as many of you know our beloved Eva has retired and handed over the running of the business to the capable and experienced hands of our new administrator Jessica. Jessica will now update this blog, website, and masseuse schedule, she’ll be taking bookings and happily answer your queries. She comes from a sex education background and has vast amounts of experience with Tantric Massage London, breathwork, and yoga so are a great fit for the team.Celeste will also be on hand from time to time to book appointments for you and answer any questions about her tuition sessions. We are still very much in touch with Eva and always pass on your well wishes. For some of you who have been longtime clients from the very beginning (since 1992!) this may seem like the end of an era and we… Read more »

Our tantra diary January-April 2019 is set out below. As I have mentioned before, I am taking a sort of semi-retirement, so I will not be available as much as in the past to answer the phone and respond to emails. However Jyoti and Veena will be here, and they will be handling the bookings as well as offering the massages. I decided that this would be preferable, rather than taking on someone new who would not be familiar with our way of working – just in order to handle appointments. So please be aware that your phone calls and emails may not be answered as promptly, and dare I say, as efficiently, as in the past. However, hopefully, this will not be a problem, as long as you can have some understanding and patience. The masseuses will only answer the phone in between appointments, when they are free, so it would make things easier if you can contact them more by email, and preferably with as much advance notice as possible. .

Our tantra massage schedule for the next few months will be changing, so I am posting some details here for those of you who like to plan in advance. JULY River will be leaving us at the end of July.

Celeste will be working on the days posted on our Schedule page ie on July 2 and July 30. We will remain closed on the Mondays when she is away AUGUST Jyoti will all be taking a badly-needed holiday for the whole month of August.

She will be offering the four hand massage with Jyoti on Tuesday July 31…and we will be making it a Special Offer of £140 for one hour. She… Read more »

Have you seen ‘Wild Wild Country’ – the Netflix 6-part documentary? I strongly recommend that you watch it because it is fascinating entertainment. It tells the story of the community of followers of the controversial Indian guru, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, (later called Osho – he of the 99 Rolls Royces) who I have mentioned in several articles on this website, specifically here and here and here , because his followers were really the original creators of tantric massage. Rajneesh began giving talks on sex and spirituality in India in the 1960’s. Many young, educated and often affluent westerners were attracted to his teachings and he became well-known in the west in the 1970’s. By 1981, his followers had outgrown their ashram in Pune, India and had become very unpopular there. So they decided to set themselves up elsewhere and bought a stretch of approximately 64,000 acres of farmland – Big Muddy Ranch, in rural Oregon, USA – in a tiny town of less than 60 conservative retirees, called Antelope. The Directors of Wild Wild Country have managed to obtain 250+ hours of footage and extensive new interviews of both ex-Rajneeshees and the conservative Oregonians who lived… Read more »

Xmas at Tantric Massage London in Kensington The month of December has already begun, so the Xmas season is upon us . Many of you will be going away on holiday and we may not see you again until the New Year begins. However for those of you who will be remaining in London, we hope that you will be able to visit us in a more leisurely way than usual during this Xmas period. We will be preparing our Xmas Chai Latte Special and hope that you will be able to sit in the waiting room for a few moments, either before or after your massage, and enjoy a cup of chai. Our chai latte special is made with spices, herbal tea and honey – so there is no black tea or sugar in it – for those of you who are concerned about health. We will also be burning candles with Xmas flavours of Orange and Spice, to add to the festive mood in a sensual way. We will be open on Friday December 22, and then closed for Xmas Day , Boxing Day and January 1. But we will be… Read more »

The tantric massage scene in London has changed enormously over the past 20 years What has prompted me to write an article on this topic is that we have been looking for a new tantric masseuse to replace Lakshmi, doing the four-hand massage on Thursdays. I knew when Lakshmi first joined us that she would only be staying in London until September, so I started keeping an eye open early on. In the past, I have always had a large choice of talented and attractive masseuses who had written to me, asking if they could train and work with us. I very rarely needed to advertise. They would always enclose a cv and photo, as requested on our employment page, and the majority were interested in the subject of tantric massage, and in learning more. But the tantric massage scene in London has now changed. I have received a few email requests from very young girls with no massage experience, no cv, confidently saying that they could learn fast and expecting very high pay. When I did make appointments for some of them to come and meet me, most of them did not even bother to turn up… Read more »

Punting Forums or Sex Forums, are portrayed in Jane Champion’s new BBC drama called Top of the Lake – China Girl. Have you been watching it? I highly recommend it. Apparently, Jane Champion did a lot of research into brothels and the sex trade and she actually managed to get into a brothel, which is not an easy thing for a woman to do. I was struck also by her portrayal of a punting forum – a group of men sitting in a cafe, with their laptops open, discussing their experiences of various prostitutes they had been visiting in one particular brothel. As I mentioned in my earlier blog article on sensual massage forums, this bonding among men on punting forums, where they share information on the sensual/sexual services they have been receiving, came as a shock to me when I first found out about their existence. To my knowledge, this is the first time that punting forums have been portrayed so openly and honestly in a movie. The Guardian describes them as follows: ‘… and the ghastly porn-surfing bros who congregate at a cafe with their laptops, harassing the waitress and cackling over… Read more »

Tantra Holidays are important for our masseuses What I mean by tantra holidays, is that they need to take breaks every now and then, to restore their energy. We only have one masseuse working every day, except Thursday, which is when we have our special 4 hand massage offer. Most other agencies have many more masseuses on their books, so with them, you can probably easily make last minute bookings. We have been getting booked up well in advance and many of our clients need to plan ahead of time, especially those coming to London from other cities in England and from abroad. I have been asked quite a lot recently, why I don’t take on more tantric masseuses. But it is not easy to find the right ones. Also, I have always been very particular, and insist on selecting and training our tantric masseuses with a great deal of care. Since some holidays are coming up, I thought I would outline them now, in advance, to make it clearer for all clients re. who will be working on which days. Lakshmi will be away from July 14-31, so she will not be available during that period…. Read more »

Since I no longer practice massage these days, I spend a lot of my time on admin type work, which includes research on search engine optimisation for tantric massage london. What that means is figuring out how google rewards websites by placing them at the top of search for a particular phrase or word. Naturally every website wants to be found by as many people as possible who may be interested in their services. In the field of tantric/sensual/erotic massage there is a huge amount of competition nowadays, not to mention all the escorts who have taken to labelling themselves as tantric massage agencies. Google are said to have their own algorithms to help them figure out how relevant a website may be. Since this is a secret algorithm, many SEO companies have been created specifically to make a living out of advising clients on how to create websites which will be ‘liked’ by google. Since I have time on my hands, and since I find this study quite interesting and challenging, I make a point of observing which websites in our field are doing well on search, and I try to figure out the reasons why.

Valentine’s day is coming up soon It is one of those holidays which holds loads of hidden expectation for some, and can be a day of dread for many singles who don’t have a partner to share it with. Some people tend to dismiss Valentine’s Day as a commercial fanfare. According to some recent studies, women are not that into Valentine’s Day: their partner usually wants to have sex, whereas 43% of women have no interest in shaking up their bedroom routines, and 35% are more excited about the cuddling than the sex itself. 34% would rather spend the night watching TV than getting it on….. Valentine’s Day can evoke pressure for women to please their partners at the expense of their own desires. 23% of women said they hated having to shave or wax for their significant other, and 11% wished they could skip out on the lingerie. However, below is an article written by a female married journalist, with an opposing view: “Gents, I will let you into a little secret. When a woman says she doesn’t care about Valentine’s Day and doesn’t want to celebrate it, don’ believe her. If she practically insists on you not… Read more »

Our tantric massage schedule will change for the 3 weeks from January 16th. I shall be taking a break during that time and Celeste will be taking my place . She will be’The Boss’ during those three weeks. Please don’t expect the phone to be answered as rapidly as usual, or emails replied to as promptly, because Celeste will be working doing massages as well as doing all the admin work. In fact, you may get a better response by email than by phone during those three weeks. Also, Jyoti will be away from January 16-25. She will be doing a tantric training course in Germany, and we are all looking forward to hearing about it, and learning what new techniques she may discover. ___________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Mon Jan 30 : CELESTE Tue Jan 31 : CELESTE, JYOTI Wed Feb 1 : EDEN Thur Feb 2 : JYOTI, CHANDRA Fri Feb 3 : JYOTI ______________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________

Merry Christmas and all our best wishes for a happy peaceful and healthy New Year to you all. We would like to give a big Thank You to all our clients – we love and really appreciate all the wonderful and unexpected gifts we have received from you, and we look forward to seeing you all again in the New Year. 2016 has been a particularly eventful year. Apart from devastating wars and displacement of refugees, the world has, in one year, lost so many of our Rock and Pop icons , movie stars and tv stars. The Uk voted for Brexit, and the USA voted in Donald Trump. It feels somehow, like the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. Let us see what 2017 has in store. Inspite of all the craziness and turmoil in the world outside, and the daily stress of London life, one of our main aims has always been to maintain a haven of peace, calm, and tranquility here. This has been an exceptionally busy year for us and we realise that many of our regular clients have not been able to make bookings because we have been booked… Read more »

Re. Xmas Holidays at Tantric Massage London Kensington We have been getting a lot of questions about our opening hours during the Xmas holidays. So to clarify, we will be staying open during that period, from Monday-Friday as usual, except naturally for Xmas day and Boxing Day. We have also been actively seeking a replacement for Uma who has had to return home. We do hope she will come back to us in the New Year, but nothing is certain at the moment – so in the meanwhile, we have been looking for another tantric masseuse to join us. Our special offer four-hand tantric massage is still extremely popular, and clients are asking for it to be available more often. We have now taken on a new masseuse, Chandra, and will be offering a special Xmas offer with her and Jyoti. This offer will extend for four Thursdays, from December 22-January 12, and will be £140 for a one hour four hand massage. Please keep an eye on our schedule on this website, which is always updated at the end of each week. It will always be kept current, but you may need to clear your computer cache in… Read more »

Sadly, our tantric masseuse Uma will be leaving us at the end of November Uma has been extremely popular with our clients during the 6 months she has spent with us. She has been completely booked up for the whole time and I have received many compliments for her. Many clients do not want to place testimonials on our website, for personal reasons, but they have privately told me how wonderful her massages are. Uma has to go back home to sort out some family affairs, and she is not entirely sure how long that will take her. We do hope that she will be able to return to us in a few months time, but at this point nothing is certain. We are looking for another masseuse to replace her, but Uma has set a high standard, and we may not be able to find someone right away. Uma’s last day with us will be November 30 so if you would like an appointment with her before she leaves, she will be available on Wednesays and Thursdays and also Tuesday November 29 and Wednesday 30 which will be her last day. It would be advisable to book… Read more »
Read MoreMany of you have been trying to make advance bookings for tantra massage with Eden Eden has decided to study for a new career, and this will be taking up a lot of her time in the future.

Celeste is now a qualified Sexological Bodyworker. She completed the course (see details in my previous blog article https://www.tantricmassagelondon.com/tantric-massage-and-sexological-bodywork/) and received the qualification because she has been very much in demand for our Tantric Therapy/Tuition sessions for several years now,and she wanted to study the subject in more depth. The idea was to get more knowledge, feedback and a recognised qualification. The t-shirt she received on graduating shows that the organisation has a sense of humour, which is always a plus. Personally, I wasn’t too sure what a Sex Geek is, so I have searched the term and come up with some interesting definitions. The Urban Dictionary definition is: “Someone who takes pride in learning, applying and spreading throughout their lives, accurate sexual health information, effective communication skills and relationship blackbelt knowhow regardless of sexual identity and practices” http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sex+Geek Sex-Positive Podcasts “that helped me realize, I’m a Sex Geek I identify as a ‘sex geek’ It’s a term that was coined and made popular by renowned sex educator Reid Mihalko and I’ve been one since before there even was a term for it…….. ” https://medium.com/@lizandrade/sex-positive-podcasts-that-helped-me-realize-i-m-a-sex-geek-6e21a99aebe9#.jx6j2r26l 10 Ways to become a Sexy Geek Confidence… Read more »

Tonight will be the night of the Blue Moon. Most of us don’t know what a Blue Moon is, except that it was a song sung by Frank Sinatra (you can listen to the song below) Nowadays, a Blue Moon can often refer to the second full moon of the month. This month, the first full moon was on July 2. An older definition of Blue Moon is that it is the third of four full moons in a single season. Some days,but not often, you might see an actual blue-coloured moon. The term ‘once in a blue moon’ used to mean something rare. Now that the rules for naming the Blue Moon include several different possibilities, Blue Moons are pretty common. The Blue Moon this year is also the night of Guru Purnima It is a popular festival in India, celebrated to pay respect and offer gratitude to gurus and teachers. Indians have a lot of respect for their gurus because it is considered that the Guru is the one who provides an individual with knowledge and wisdom, and leads us towards the path of enlightenment….

Shakti will be with us for one more week and she will then go abroad to continue her studies. She has been with us for over 3 years, and we wish her well. We hope that she will continue to visit and work with us during her holidays so do keep an eye out for our Schedule as we will post her name as and when she visits. Several of our masseuses have Sanskrit names. This is customary in India, and helps to remember the quality for which each god or goddess is known. Shakti personifies the Goddess, the divine feminine creative power – the dynamic force of the universe. Shakti is the power, drive and force within a person. During our massages, we often play the CD of the 108 names of the Goddess because in traditional Tantra, worship of Shakti, or Mother Divine, is an integral part of the practices. This is not the maternal aspect of the mother, but the powerful energy which lies at our deepest level of awareness. All this is quite alien to our western culture, which may be one reason why there is so much wrong understanding of the original tantric… Read more »

Valentine’s Day is coming up again . Do you feel that you would like to offer your loved one a special experience or a gift? Or maybe there isn’t a special someone in your life.. Either way, one shouldn’t feel pressurised on Valentine’s Day or any other day. Even though society does its best to heap on the pressure on these commercial holidays, with articles about all of the wonderful things that people are doing. So I thought I would stick to chocolate – which is something you can either buy for someone, or enjoy yourself. From the days of the Aztecs, chocolate has been considered an aphrodisiac – it contains chemicals such as theobromine and phenylethylamine which are thought to be responsible for chocolate’s erotic potency. It is of course, also delicious and melts sensually in the mouth. Chocolates come in all shapes and sizes. On Valentine’s day, you would think heart-shaped chocolates would be appropriate. However, I was surprised to learn that Edible Anus chocolates, as pictured above, from http://www.edibleanus.com , have already sold out, one week before Valentine’s day. If the idea of getting your female partner a chocolate dress appeals… Read more »
