Tantra is an often used word,with many misunderstandings attached to it. The dictionary defines it as :Etymology: Sanskrit, literally, warp, from tanoti he stretches, weaves; akin to Greek teinein to stretch ,one of the later Hindu or Buddhist scriptures dealing especially with techniques and rituals including meditative and sexual practices; also : the rituals or practices outlined in the tantra
Tantric massage usually involves a much slower pace, a lighter touch therapy and also can include breathing techiniques, to help prolong the sensuality and excitement of being touched. How the session is concluded depends soley on the practioner and her particular style or method. Usually it is a much more "educational session" where the practioner tries to teach the client some new ways of exploring their boundries, breaking through some of the their social sexual ideas/and trying to open up their minds and bodies to non traditional expressions of sexual/sensual fulfillment. For more information on Tantra I would suggest you take a look at the info at www.tantra.com
When contacting a provider about a tantric session, ask questions about the session and what does their "tantric session" consist of also inquire about their philosophies and educational background involving tantric training.
I have some information on my website about tantra www.malissasmassage.com/tantra.htm

Not all providers are the same so be sure and educate yourself before ever booking an appointment with anyone. Hope that helps ya!
Hugs and Kisses,
