How to release so as with massage:

Massage can be a deeply relaxing experience that allows the body to release tension, stress, and even stored emotions. Some people may also experience physical release, including arousal or sexual release. While this is natural, it’s important to understand how to handle it safely and respectfully during a massage.

🌸 Understanding “Release” During Massage

The body can respond in many ways during a massage:

  1. Muscle Release – Tension in muscles is relieved, causing twitching, soreness, or spasms.

  2. Emotional Release – Tears, laughter, or a sense of emotional lightness may occur.

  3. Sexual or Erogenous Release – Gentle pressure on areas like inner thighs, pelvic floor muscles, or erogenous zones may trigger arousal.

Note: All these responses are natural physiological reactions, not intentional sexual behavior.
