There are sentences that fall like a breath at the start of a session.
These are words that the women say with modesty, as if they were coming from far away, from an inner place that has been hidden for too long.
«I don't feel anything anymore ... there»
Their gaze drops.
Their voices tremble.
And in that little word - “there” - lies a world.
A world of silence, absence and confusion.
Some speak of their intimacy as a desert.
Others like a wall.
They sometimes say:
«My body is dead.»
And it's not just sexuality that's gone... it's vitality itself that seems to have withdrawn.
What makes this pain even more complex is that it sometimes manifests itself in the midst of a stable, loving relationship.
«I love my partner... but I no longer have any desire.»
And this paradox becomes a wound in itself.
We just don't get it.
We feel guilty.
We try to “awaken desire”, to force ourselves, to resort to ready-made recipes.
But it doesn't work.
What many people don't know is that this silence of the body is an answer.
Not a malfunction.
Protection.
When the body has experienced too many intrusions, too many dirty looks, too many unwelcome gestures or humiliating words, it closes up.
It disconnects.
It becomes what is called in psychoanalysis a body-defence.
And this body no longer wants to be taken.
He wants to be recognised.
Listen.
Upgraded.
In Tantrism, we don't try to “reactivate” sexuality like flipping a switch.
Our society has imposed codes of performance on sexuality:
But true desire cannot be manufactured.
It is born of a state of being.
What I observe as an initiator is that women who have lost their desire have often spent years denying themselves.
They gave, they took, they ignored their feelings in order to stand their ground, to remain loved, to survive.
A body that no longer feels is not an empty body.
It's a body full of... memory.
As the Gérard Leleu, our way of experiencing intimacy depends on our representation of ourselves in the world.
And this representation is rooted in childhood.
If, as a young girl, you have received messages of shame or impurity, or worse, experienced abuse or molestation, then the body becomes a place to flee from, not to inhabit.
So we build our sexuality “on top”, often for the other person, never for ourselves.
In tantric, Sufi and shamanic approaches, the body is not an obstacle to elevation: it is its temple.
Touching the body with awareness awakens the soul.
The rituals I propose are not about reawakening an animal fire, but about reconnecting the breath, the skin and the heart.
It's about moving from using the body to being present to the body.
When a woman lies down for a tantric massage, she's not looking for a solution.
She offers her body the possibility of being experienced differently.
With no objective.
No waiting.
Without injunction.
And in this neutral, sacred, safe space, she sometimes rediscovers a forgotten sensation:
It's the start of a new dialogue.
What's striking is that desire often returns... by surprise.
Not by external stimulation, but by internal reconnection.
In these moments of massage, a woman sometimes says to me:
« I think I feel something. »
Then, one day: « I feel alive. »
And sometimes even: « I want myself. »
This “I desire myself” is the key.
Because before you can desire the other person, you have to desire yourself.
Not as a sexual object, but as a living, vibrant entity, worthy of love and presence.
If you can't feel your body today, it's not your fault.
It's an invitation to come back.
Return slowly.
With patience.
With tenderness.
For me, Tantra is not a distant mystical path.
It's a link-based medicine.
A ritual of peace within you... and you.
Behind this silence of the body, there is often a man who still loves.
To understand the echo of this absence in the male heart, I invite you to read CE second article.
With gentleness and presence,
