Goal and Benefits of Tantric Lingam Massage

Lingam Massage (also written Lingham Massage) is a Neo-Tantric massage modality developed and popularized by Joseph Kramer in the 1980s in the USA. Lingam Massage can be considered the male version of a Tantric Yoni Vaginal Massage.

Although a Lingam Massage is a specialization of a Tantra Massage focusing primarily on the male genitalia and male erogenous zones, it’s typically accompanied by a full body Tantric Massage with the use of (warm) oils.

A Lingam Massage includes acupressure on points around the Lingam (the Penis), testicles, the inner thighs and groin, and the therapist may also work around the anus and perineum, and with the prostate (internally or externally). The idea is to release tensions and blockages within the abdomen, anus region, anal canal (rectum) and genital organs, with an aim of physical health benefits, sexual pleasure, or rather with the goal of releasing emotional and sexual trauma.

Specific Tantric elements may be brought into the massage session, such as Tantric Breathwork, Tantric Eye-gazing, Lingam Honoring, Semen Retention techniques, Genital De-Armoring, and Multi-Orgasmic work, to name some additional features.

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, shrines or in natural objects, such as naturally shaped stones, and so on. It’s considered a divine symbol of generative creative energy, where a phallus or phallic penis like object is worshiped as a symbolic representation of the Deity Shiva.

At any rate, it’s thought that this blend of Indian Tantric and Taoist concepts and Western inspired therapeutic massage is helpful to heal or alleviate fertility problems, prostatitis, benign prostate enlargement, low libido, urinary tract issues, erectile dysfunction, sexual and emotional traumas, premature ejaculation, and relief of stress, depression, and anxiety, among other pathologies.

Of late, however, Lingam Massage is increasingly positioned as only an erotic pleasure massage, the client being able to experience multiple orgasms throughout a session (and supposedly also afterwards). Additionally, the label “Lingam Massage” is often used as a beautifier for a straightforward 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 Tantric 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 and satisfying sexual life, an ability to experience sex throughout the whole body and being 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 and pleasurable, but it’s certainly not necessarily sexual, although an erection, ejaculation, or orgasm may occur during a session. Lingam Massage is originally seen 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.

Below we summarize the supposed benefits of Lingam Massage:

  • Awakens the penis, testicles, and prostate (G-spot or P-Spot), enabling more sensitivity and pleasure;
