Essentially massage is communication, letting someone know that you care by touching and stroking the body. In our culture, to touch someone is to express sexual interest, so as a people we do not touch-unless we mean to convey sexual interest. Because of the touching taboo, we are starved for touch, and through massage, we can explore the sensual world of touching without committing to a sexual episode. This becomes obvious in massage when it is realized that massage causes a change in our awareness of the world, a refreshing mental state akin to a meditative or hypnotic consciousness.
