Body-to-Body Nuru Massage

Dr. Patti Britton's Alexander Institute introduction to nuru massage — the Japanese erotic bodywork tradition that uses a slippery gel base and full-body contact rather than hand-on-body technique, treating the giver's entire body as the instrument.

Nuru, meaning slippery in Japanese, names the practice and the gel both. The film walks through how the technique actually works: gel preparation and application, the choreography of full-body sliding contact, the sensual timing that distinguishes nuru from the more familiar massage frames. The instruction stays grounded in adaptation for couples practicing at home rather than imitation of the professional Japanese setting where nuru typically lives.

From the Alexander Institute's Eastern-sex catalog. Best for couples curious about the bodywork tradition before any commercial setting is involved.
