When I studied Tantra in India for nine years, I was especially inspired by the concept of sacred sexuality. It’s an ancient idea that is lost on many Westerners. I especially loved the idea of approaching a woman’s body—particularly her vagina—with a sense of worship.

The vagina is called yoni in Sanskrit and loosely translates to “a sacred space.” In Tantra philosophy, we approach the vagina from a place of the utmost love and respect. Yoni massage is a practice intended to truly honor a woman, to give her selfless pleasure, and to explore the sacred side of our sexuality.

This isn’t about having one orgasm. It’s about trying to feel more and more pleasure that will become waves of multiple orgasms throughout the massage. It can be done alone, or done by a partner, either individually or as foreplay to lovemaking.
