Today was my one solo afternoon in Prague without my travel companions. After all the touring, parks, and museums visits, I needed a mental and physical vacation from the rigorous schedule. To unwind I decided to book a massage experience. I've always loved massages but had never been able to try free myself or submit to the experience. Today I hoped it would be different. I wanted a transformation. I had done a lot of research to find a reputable and skilled masseur, one certified by the international tantric massage association, whose headquarters are in Berlin.
The trip some months prior is what prompted me to consider a tantric massage. I had stumbled into their offices while looking at different shops in the main square and was fascinated by the seriousness of the philosophy and presentation of tantric massage as a healing process. I took away several pamphlets and a list of vetted references across Europe. So that's how I ended up in this studio on a crisp spring afternoon in Prague. The studio was run and owned by Štefan Řehoř Cipra. Those people at the TMA demanded your whole government name and all your facts.
They aren't playing around. The studio was aptly name Průtoková Energie, flowing energy and was simply furnished and gave off a sense of tranquility. The space was in A large apartment in one of those colorful pastel buildings so famous in Prague. His studio was in Prague's lesser town on Misenska street, just a short distance from Karlstejn Castle. Frankly it was idyllic. Yet I was nervous. The mental preparation I had done seemed to be breaking down as the impending prospect of nudity and receiving a massage from some random Czech man who would touch me literally everywhere had shaken my resolve. But I was here. I'd paid the booking fee and signed all the waivers and forms.
In the waiting room the coffee table held a bouquet of reading options. One magazine caught my eye though. It had a new scientific journal type cover but was definitely not the type of boring terse journal. This magazine was called new cell frontiers and was all about Bioenergetics.
As I perused an article about tantric massage and its links with cell biology and energy flow through living systems, I felt a heat rise within me, what was I really signing myself up for? Could I really let some stranger massage my labia and clit? Deep down I knew the answer, and that is why I was still in the waiting room feeling the moistness build between my legs. I calmed myself by going over the information in the pamphlet one more time. Remembering that the client or receiver of a tantra massage is not a giver. Their duty is to receive the massage and surrender to the rediscovery of senses feelings and emotions.
The process was healing, an exercise to bring about a sense of well-being, deep relaxation, and a therapeutic avenue to resolve issues related to bruised relationships, self-esteem issues, and sexual inhibitions, long buried and denied. And goodness's knows I needed help with all of those. Plus, I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted and needed to fully surrender myself and really trust in this experience and another person. Just as I felt myself let go the last traces of resistance, he walked in. Stefan was average height, dark haired and Slavic. He had penetrating hazel eyes and fit muscular frame and I cock so well-proportioned that even in its relaxed state, I could make it out through his trousers. Everything about his look and attitude was sexy and erotic. I was instantly attracted. When he started with the preliminary questions, I was still daydreaming about feeling his dick go from soft to hard in my mouth.
Stefan asked me about my health and any points of concern as he led me down the narrow corridor to a door on the far left. The room he ushered me into was spacious but organized in such a way that a closeness instantly embraced you. It was like entering a well-furnished cave. The stones walls looked ancient and sturdy, and the decorations were warm and comfortable. I felt at ease in the room. Then I saw the table and tension seized by body. Stefan must have noticed because he came over and asked me to sit down in the armchair. For the next 30 minutes we just chatted. First about mundane things like what sites I had visited in Prague.
Then we got to my fears and views on the body and my body specifically. By the end I felt safe and understood. It was like therapy with an old friend, and it prepared me for the next stage, the undressing. To a far corner of the room was a large screen to change behind. I went behind the screen and began to undress. I had decided what to wear very carefully. Only three pieces, a shirt, crepe pants and a light coat. I wanted to have only what was necessary on to walk the streets as I knew the more layers, I had on the more fear I would feel about removing them.
Stefan put on soothing music, nature sounds with light rain as the backdrop, an ideal choice. When I stepped from behind the screen the room was dimly lit with numerous candles set strategically around the room to give a reassuring and calming atmosphere. Stefan was at the massage table with his back towards me. I know he heard my approach but remained facing the opposite direction, I was grateful for that. A few feet away from the table and him I stopped. At that point he spoke to me, "Efua, I'm going to turn around and face you now. Don't be nervous you are safe." I let myself relax into the moment. Stefan made me feel safe and eager to submit.
