Ever since I learned Taoist Erotic Massage (TEM) sixteen years ago,
I've been a man with a mission. Prior to that I was trained as a
massage therapist, and I learned not only the strengths of massage
therapy but also some of its prejudices and weaknesses. I have come to
believe that one of the most profound weaknesses in the way massage is
conventionally taught is the taboo against including erotic touch in
the massage. This taboo is so widespread and so strong that it is hardly
questioned within conventional massage modalities. However, I believe
this taboo is actually harmful and runs counter to the deepest and most
central principles of massage therapy.
