Everyone likes to be touched in that sensual kind of way. Massages can be used for anything, from calming your lover down from a tough day at work to getting both primed for some enthusiastic lovemaking. To prepare for this, I will give you some suggestions to set the mood as well as some techniques.
Invest in high-quality massage oil.
Aromatherapy is a wonderful way to select which scents you and your partner would like since certain scents produce specific effects. Lavender, for instance, puts people to sleep, while eucalyptus wakes people up but may be too powerful for sensitive skin.
Set a relaxing environment. Dim the lights in the room and ignite some scented candles. Again, aromatherapy can be a big payoff but select something that is lightly scented or neutral. Also, you can choose to play a soft instrumental music or a nature sounds CD.
While both can be nude or semi-nude, make sure your partner lays down on the stomach first and will be in a comfortable position.
Friction some oils in your hand and slowly spread the entire back in wide, smooth strokes with the palm of your hand. Do not knead the body too intensely because you may end up causing some discomfort. Glide your hands slowly and deeply; remember to be continuously sensual.
Take your time and rub in a way that makes your partner feel like you are willing to devote all the time in the world.
Work your way down from the back of the neck to the shoulders with a firm to light pressure to avoid unwanted pain. Stretch out the arms and massage the biceps lightly with your fingertips. Work the back on either side of the spinal cord, but never push too hard on the spine itself. Use downward strokes laterally along the spine until you reach the tailbone. Feel free to tease the area around the base of the spine because it contains many sensitive nerve endings.
Work your way down to the legs, especially the inner thighs because they are incredibly sensitive. You don’t have to be as cautious as with the back, but still remain gentle. Rub the legs one section at a time, starting at the thighs, moving to the calves and finally ending at the feet.
Gently lay your body on top of your partner and slowly slide upward. Let other parts of your body rub up against too while in the midst of your massage. By the time you’re done working the body down, your partner will have much more than just rubbing on the mind.
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
