Recomendations

Tantric-Tao massage is a body-based, awareness-oriented approach that can support men who experience erectile difficulties, especially when stress, anxiety, numbness, or disconnection from the body are involved. Many cases of erectile dysfunction are not purely physical; they are influenced by the nervous system, emotional patterns, and habitual tension.

One key aspect of this work is presence and reconnection. By slowing down and bringing conscious attention back into the body—and specifically into the pelvic area and penis—the client can begin to notice sensations again without pressure to perform. This helps calm the nervous system, reduce performance anxiety, and shift the body from a stress response into a state that supports arousal and circulation.

The quality of touch also matters. Skilled, loving, respectful, and attuned touch during the massage can help the body feel safe, supported, and acknowledged. When touch is consistent, grounded, and non-demanding, it can retrain the nervous system to associate sensation with relaxation rather than tension or fear. Over time, this can improve sensitivity, blood flow, and confidence.

Equally important is the client’s active participation: being present, breathing, and staying connected to sensations rather than expectations. Present in the body - to in the fantasy world. Healing does not come from forcing an erection, but from rebuilding trust between the mind, body and heart, and sexual organs.

A man in his 50s came for Tantric-Tao bodywork after more than ten years in a long-term relationship where intimacy had gradually faded. While he and his partner still cared for each other deeply and maintained a strong friendship, they avoided sexual closeness. His past sexual experiences had largely been goal-oriented—focused on excitement, performance, and reaching orgasm—which over time created pressure, frustration, and emotional withdrawal. Because he was able to ejaculate regularly on his own, it suggested that his erectile difficulties were not primarily physical, but linked to stress, emotional patterns, and disconnection from his body. He sought support to maintain erection, feel more daily vitality, and experience greater inner calm rather than constant mental activity.

The work began by helping him understand the role of breath and embodied awareness in relaxing the body and calming the mind. Through conscious bodywork, he experienced how breathing and attention supported self-regulation of the nervous system and helped shift him out of habitual tension. One aspect of bringing back a hormonal balance into the body was changing the habit of frequent ejaculation, which helped him to feel much more energy due to an increased level of healthy testosterone.  

Reflection was an important part of the process: we explored how moments of presence in the body led to relaxation and responsiveness, while drifting into fantasy, comparison, or seeking connection outside himself increased disconnection. He was guided to find a place in his body that felt safe and familiar—an internal “home”—which he could use as an anchor during practices such as eye contact and conscious, non-goal-oriented touch. 

In a later session, the work included therapeutic, respectful genital-focused bodywork aimed at releasing tension, restoring sensitivity, and retraining habitual responses. These included a deep groin and prostate massage. The emphasis remained on slowness, safety, breath, and presence rather than stimulation or outcome. This supported relaxation in the pelvic area and helped rebuild a calmer, more trusting relationship with his body. He was also introduced to the concept of inner polarity—the energetic connection between the pelvic centre and the heart—so that arousal could be experienced as a whole-body, emotionally integrated process rather than something isolated in the genitals. Over time, this approach supported greater vitality, improved erectile response, and a more peaceful, embodied state in daily life.
