Understanding the Basics, Benefits, and the Sacred Connection

In the world of holistic wellness, terms like “sacred spot” and “tantric healing” are becoming less taboo and more talked about. Yet, one practice still raises eyebrows and sparks curiosity: Yoni Massage.

Despite its intimate nature, Yoni massage is not simply a sexual technique. It is a profound healing art rooted in ancient Tantric traditions. Whether you are looking to heal past trauma, deepen intimacy with a partner, or simply reconnect with your body, understanding the basics of Yoni massage can be a gateway to powerful self-discovery.

The internet is absolutely flooded with articles dissecting the female orgasm, each one seemingly vying for attention with increasingly sensational headlines that promise to reveal the secret to 10, or even 20 or more distinct varieties of climax. It has become a dizzying landscape of pseudo-scientific lists and categorical breakdowns, where pleasure is reduced to a numbered checklist rather than an intimate, fluid experience.

This bombardment of so-called expertise borders on the absurd, turning what is a deeply personal and sacred phenomenon into a competitive sport of trivia. Yet, amidst this cacophony of clickbait, a glaring question remains largely unasked: don’t women themselves already possess the most profound, firsthand knowledge of their own bodies and pleasure?

What is Yoni Massage?

Yoni massage is a sexual tantra practice that involves massaging the vagina, which is called yoni in Sanskrit and loosely translates to “a sacred space.”

Yoni massage allows you time to slowly explore your body in a more sensual way. It can help people who usually feel finished after one orgasm to achieve multiple orgasms, and it’s especially beneficial for people with vaginas who have never had an orgasm.

It can also be very healing for those who have suffered sexual trauma in their past because the approach and technique is all about giving—making the vagina owner feel loved, cherished, worshipped, and honored.

Hysteria in Women

In the 1800s when women were considered “frustrated” they visited a specialist doctor to have their “hysteria” treated by a professional. Basically, the doctor performed masturbation by way of vagina and yoni massage.

Doctors would treat female “hysterics” by massaging them until they reached orgasm. The notion that women suffered from hysteria, a poorly defined disorder with a laundry list of symptoms, led to the creation of the modern-day vibrator.

You and Your Orgasms

Hopefully, you already know this, but in case you don’t, clitoral orgasms come from clitoral stimulation on the outside of the vagina, while vaginal orgasms come from internal stimulation from your man’s penis, fingers, a dildo, etc. Many people believe that the G-spot inside your vagina is a separate entity, but recent findings have found that your clitoris is not just the little button on the outside. In fact, it is much larger; most of it is completely under your skin and inside you and, like an iceberg, just the top part is showing. G-spot climax most always comes from stimulation of the rest of your clitoris that rests beneath the surface.

Half the World Has a Clitoris. Why Don’t Doctors Study It?

The organ is “completely ignored by pretty much everyone,” medical experts say, and that omission can be devastating to women’s sexual health.

If there was one thing Gillian knew, it was that she did not want a hole punch anywhere near her genitals.

So when, in 2018, a gynecologist recommended a vulval biopsy to check for signs of cancer, she hesitated. The doctor suspected that the whitish speck of skin that Gillian had found next to her clitoris was lichen sclerosus, a skin condition that is usually benign. To Gillian, a registered nurse, taking a chunk out of her most sensitive body part sounded a bit extreme.

But in the end she consented. He was a doctor; she was a nurse. She assumed he was the authority on this part of the body. “I never worked in OB-GYN before,” said Gillian, who asked to be identified by her first name to protect her privacy. “I was pretty clueless.”
