This should explain it clearly:
According to the
Tantric Massage Association, Tantra massage was developed in the 1980s by Andro Andreas Rothe, founder of Diamond Lotus Tantra Lounge, the first
Tantra institute in Germany (1977).

A tantric massage client or receiver is not a giver. It is their responsibility to accept the massage and yield to the rediscovering of senses, feelings, and emotions. As people come to resolve issues related to relationships, self-esteem, and sexual life, the process combines a sense of well-being with deep relaxation.

According to the Tantric Massage Association Berlin, tantra massage is based on ideas taken from the work of
Wilhelm Reich,
Carl Jung,
Carl Rogers and
Alexander Lowen. Other sources of inspiration included the work of
Mantak Chia,
Joseph Kramer โ who developed the "
Lingam massage" (origin of the word Lingam is Sanskrit in which it means organ) and "Taoist Erotic Massage" โ and
Annie Sprinkle, who developed the "
Yoni massage".
