Dutch tantra massage sexual abuse

Today, Dutch NOS TV reports (translated):

Being sexually abused during tantra massage and then having to pay for it

Dozens of women have reported sexual abuse by tantra masseurs and ‘intimacy coaches’. Two of them are willing to tell what happened to them because they consider it important to warn women. Both have reported to the police. …

“Those sessions are very expensive, I have lost thousands of euros on them.”

Petra speaks to the masseur about the abuse, but he denies all responsibility. “He even suggested that I had asked for this myself.”
