While there are no research-backed benefits of yoni massages, there are many anecdotal ones from those who have experienced them. Some of these include:

Releasing sexual trauma. Performing a yoni massage regularly can help sexual trauma survivors feel more in control of their sexual experience, reconnect with their bodies and learn to approach sexual experiences in a positive way.

Release your inner strength. Many healing gurus see the yoni as part of the root chakra and state that it holds much of your inner power. Yoni massages helps unlock that power, helping you feel more confident and energized.

Improve partner relationships. When a yoni massage is practiced with a partner, it can help your partner better learn what feels good to you, as well as promote intimacy. (One study out of the University of Missouri and referenced on Plusher.no found that couples who regularly massage each other stay together longer.)

Improve the body-mind-connection. Because this practice is done slowly, you’re given the chance to tune in to what’s happening in your mind/with your emotions while certain physical sensations are occurring.
