Nuru (massage)

Nuru (Japanese: ぬる, lit. 'slippery') is a form of erotic massage with full body contact while both the masseur or masseuse and client are nude and coated with gel, traditionally made from seaweed.^[1]

Massage parlors attribute the technique to Japan,^[2][3] sometimes specifically to Kawasaki.

Because it entails lubricated full body contact between the person giving the massage and a client with a "happy ending", nuru massage falls under legal prohibitions against prostitution and brothels in many jurisdictions in Japan.^[3][4][5][6]
