Nuru Massage Guide: How It Boosts Intimacy, Skin Health & Stress Relief

Looking to deepen connection, reduce stress, and leave your skin feeling silky-smooth? Discover the ancient practice of Nuru massage — a luxurious, full-body ritual that blends sensuality with skin nourishment and therapeutic relaxation. Whether you're a professional therapist or exploring intimacy with a partner, this guide will show you why Nuru massage is unlike anything else.

What Is Nuru Massage?

Originating in Japan, Nuru massage is a type of full-body massage performed using a special seaweed-based gel. The name “Nuru” comes from the Japanese word for “slippery” — and that’s exactly what this technique is all about.

What makes it unique? The massage is done skin-on-skin, often on a waterproof vinyl sheet, using a transparent, ultra-slippery gel that allows the body to glide effortlessly. The result? Increased body awareness, connection, and total relaxation.

Key Benefits of Nuru Massage

1. Deep Physical & Mental Relaxation

The fluid motion and skin contact trigger deep relaxation, reducing cortisol levels and helping the mind switch off from daily stressors.

2. Enhanced Intimacy & Connection

Because it’s a skin-to-skin massage, Nuru naturally fosters closeness and releases oxytocin, the bonding hormone. Perfect for couples seeking intimacy.

3. Skin Hydration & Nourishment

High-quality Nuru gels like NGel Classic or Premium contain seaweed extract and D-Panthenol, which leave your skin soft, smooth, and well-moisturized after each session.

4. Improved Circulation & Muscle Relief

The gliding motion and light pressure stimulate blood flow and help ease tension — great for post-workout recovery or general body care.

5. Zero Stickiness, Maximum Pleasure

Unlike many traditional oils, Nuru gel is non-greasy, non-staining, and latex-friendly, making it ideal for both personal and professional use.

How to Do a Nuru Massage (Step-by-Step)

1. Prepare the area
2. Use a waterproof sheet or vinyl mattress cover. Keep towels nearby and ensure the room is warm and private.
3. Warm the Nuru gel
4. For the best experience, warm the NGel gel in a bowl of hot water or use warm water when preparing powder-based NGel.
5. Apply generously
6. Spread the gel over both your partner’s body and your own. Nuru gel works best when you’re both fully coated.
7. Begin the body-to-body glide
8. Use your full body — torso, thighs, arms — to glide across your partner slowly and rhythmically. No pressure is needed, just natural movement and connection.
9. Maintain flow and eye contact
10. Take your time. Use the session to build emotional closeness, not just physical pleasure.
