Spa : A commercial or recreational establishment offering treatments for relaxation, health, or personal care. Some spas offer sensual services, while others explicitly exclude erotic touch.
Tantra : A diverse set of traditions and texts originating in South Asia, with Hindu and Buddhist forms. Modern erotic massage sometimes borrows tantric language, distinct from historical traditions.
Consent : Voluntary, informed, and ongoing agreement to participate in an activity. Agreement defines which kinds of touch are welcome and when they must stop.

Sexual health : A state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being in relation to sexuality. Communication and bodily autonomy connect the practice to broader sexual-health concerns.
Body image : A person's perceptions, thoughts, and feelings about their own body. Nudity and close bodily attention can bring body image into the experience.
Boundaries : Limits people set around their bodies, privacy, and interpersonal interactions. Clear limits shape the scope of touch and the conditions of a session.
