Dao massage — Daoist erotic tradition at Bagira salon

Dao Massage

What lies behind the fashionable term 'dao massage'? We explore the roots of the Daoist tradition and how it finds expression in erotic massage.

The term 'dao massage' is relatively new. It is often used to describe a standard erotic massage — and while there is some truth to that, it is also a considerable simplification. Let us unpack it together.

What Is the Dao?

The tradition of Daoism arose in ancient China through the great philosopher Laozi. The word 'Dao' itself resists easy translation: it encompasses 'the Way', 'the First Cause', 'the Universal Law' and 'Philosophy' all at once.

The Dao of Love

Where does eroticism come in? The answer is straightforward: the teaching of the 'Dao of Love' once spread widely across China. It offered people a path to self-realisation through many different means — from the art of loving a partner of the opposite sex to strict sexual abstinence for the transformation of inner energy. Naturally, people tended to focus on what spoke to them most directly: the harmonisation of the relationship between man and woman.

Dao Massage for Men

It is precisely this erotic dimension of the Dao of Love that migrated into the practice of erotic massage. This is how 'dao massage' was born — a practice that is often only loosely related to Daoist philosophy proper. Bagira salon developed the 'Tsunami' massage, which includes a special section for men: refined erotic caresses that enhance potency and deliver deep relaxation. This is the part we call daoist massage.
