BDSM massage treatments may include bondage, roleplay and fantasy, domination and subsmission, edging and orgasm control, sensory deprivation, and/or impact play, such as inflicting pain.

Depending on the session provider i.e. massage therapist, varying levels of extremity may be the case. Some providers just use a few props, tools, or costumes, and others may offer more hardcore sessions combining it with other BDSM activities and/or elaborate roleplay and appropriate ambiance arrangement.

Some examples of BDSM massages include Bondassage®, Elysium®, Kinkassage®, Bound Massage, Dark Tantra Massage, and Femdom Massage.

Within BDSM massage sessions mutual consent (permission, agreement, or consensus) plays a crucial role, being essential for a safe and responsible treatment.

Several things are important here: will the session be naked or clothed, how long will the session take, are the genitals touched and massaged or not, is internal work (for instance, vaginal or anal) work included, is mutual touch allowed, and is the goal to come to an orgasm, among other topics, all to avoid embarrassing or even traumatic misunderstandings.

It’s also common to introduce a so-called safe-word for the client to be able to immediately abort a session or activity when the safe-word is spoken.
