An erotic couples massage is a tantric or sensual massage that you and your partner share in the same room, led by one masseuse or by two. It is built around the two of you rather than given to each of you in turn. Your masseuse talks through what you both want, then moves between you with warm oil, slow full body strokes and breath, and often shows you how to massage each other. At London Tantric a session starts at one hour with no maximum, at your masseuse's own apartment in central London or at your home or hotel.
What makes a couples massage erotic rather than a spa treatment
A spa couples massage puts two people on two tables, side by side, each with their own therapist, and the treatment is the same as it would be alone. An erotic couples massage works the other way round. The session is shared. Your masseuse treats the two of you as one booking, sets the pace around you both, and invites each of you to take part while the other is being massaged.
The style draws on tantric massage: whole body touch, warm oil and attention to breathing, rather than work on one knotted shoulder. Couples book it to try something new together, to mark an occasion, or simply to spend an unhurried hour focused on each other. Our couples massage page sets out the service, the prices and the masseuses who take couples bookings.
One masseuse or two?
Both work well, and the choice changes the feel of the session more than anything else.
One masseuse
With one masseuse the session is at its most intimate. She moves between you, and while one of you is being massaged the other can help, learn, or simply relax. Couples massage with one masseuse is charged at £150 on top of her hourly rate.
Two masseuses
With two masseuses you are both massaged at the same time, so neither of you waits, and the session becomes a four hands massage for the couple. There is no £150 supplement. You pay each masseuse's hourly rate instead, and rates are shown on every profile.
If you cannot decide, call reception and talk it through. We know our masseuses well and will recommend the right fit for the two of you.
What happens during an erotic couples massage, step by step
No two sessions are identical, because each one is shaped around the couple. Most follow the same broad order.
1. Arrival and payment
Your masseuse welcomes you at her apartment, or arrives at your home or hotel for an outcall. Payment is in cash at the start of the booking, paid to the masseuse directly. We do not take cards or cheques.
2. A shower
You will each be asked to shower before the massage and invited to shower afterwards. Fresh towels, clean bedlinen, soap and shower gel are provided, so there is nothing to bring. For an outcall, please let your masseuse use your bathroom to freshen up when she arrives.
3. A short conversation first
Before anything begins, your masseuse asks what you are both hoping for and what you would rather she avoided. This is the moment to mention if one of you is more nervous than the other, or if there is anything either of you would prefer to leave out. You also choose the massage oil, which is poured fresh for you.
4. The massage
The session moves between you using warm oil, slow strokes and breath. With one masseuse she will often invite one partner to help massage the other, guiding your hands as she goes. With two masseuses you are both massaged at once, in the same room. Your masseuse checks in as the session goes and sets the pace around whichever of you is less experienced.
5. Winding down
The session ends unhurried, with time to rest, shower and dress. What you take home matters as much as the hour itself: your masseuse is happy to show you strokes and breathing to use on each other long after the session is over.
Who the couples masseuses are
Only masseuses who are experienced with couples take couples bookings, and everyone we recommend for a couples session is genuinely bisexual and works with men, women and couples. Every masseuse is interviewed in person before she joins, and every photo is genuine and recent, so the person you book is the person you meet.
You can browse our masseuses yourself, but for a couples booking it is usually quicker to call and let us match you.
Planning your first session together
- Talk it through first. Agree between you what you would both enjoy and anything either of you would rather avoid, so you arrive on the same page.
- Choose incall or outcall. Incall is at your masseuse's private apartment in central London. Outcall brings her to your home or hotel. Our guide to in call or out call tantric massage compares the two.
- Book ahead where you can. A couples session needs a masseuse who takes couples, and sometimes two diaries to line up. Lines are open from 9am to 1am, seven days a week.
- Give yourselves time. One hour is the minimum and there is no maximum, so a longer booking gives you room to relax into it. Each masseuse's rate is on her profile.
- Read up if you are new to this. What happens in a tantric massage walks through a single session in more detail, and how to prepare for your tantric massage covers the practical side.
Boundaries, and why they make it better
The session works because everyone knows where they stand. Your masseuse has her own boundaries, and we ask that you check them with her before you begin and respect them throughout. You and your partner set yours in the opening conversation, and she will keep to them. A booking with London Tantric covers erotic, sensual and tantric massage, and nothing beyond that. If you want to understand where that line sits, does tantric massage imply sex explains it plainly.
Frequently asked questions
Can we be in the same room?
Yes. An erotic couples massage always takes place with the two of you together in one room. That is the point of it.
Does one of us have to watch while the other is massaged?
No. With one masseuse she moves between you and invites you both to take part, so the partner who is not being massaged can help rather than sit out. If one of you would rather relax and watch, that is fine too. With two masseuses you are both massaged at the same time.
How much does a couples massage cost?
With one masseuse it is her hourly rate plus £150. With two masseuses there is no supplement and you pay each masseuse's hourly rate. Rates are on every profile, and payment is in cash at the start.
How long does a couples session last?
The minimum booking is one hour and there is no maximum, as long as you and your masseuse have the time.
Do we need to bring anything?
No. Towels, fresh bedlinen, soap, shower gel and massage oil are all provided, and you choose the oil with your masseuse before you begin.
Can we book a couples massage for today?
Often, yes. Same day bookings are often possible, though a couples session is easier to arrange with notice because it needs a masseuse who takes couples. Call 07793 203224 and we will find the earliest slot.
