The Joy of the Sensual Massage

A sensual massage is no ordinary massage. The intent of giving a sensual massage is to relax your partner and build intimacy and trust with him or her. Whether you are needing to fire up some more romance in your relationship or keep the fires burning, a sensual massage is a deeply personal act that can bring two great things together and roll them into one long night of unforgettable passion. Similar to using personal lubricant to facilitate sliding and gliding, you should use oils made for massaging to help your fingers slide and glide comfortably over your partners body. If you dont want to pay for massage oil, a great alternative is almond oil. If all else fails, any oil will do, according to your partners preference, he or she might like oils that warm up on contact or there are even a few that feel cool, or menthol like. The main difference between a sensual massage and a massage that you get in a spa is that a sensual one usually involves sexual contact. Spa massages are therapeutic massages, based on Swedish techniques. Sensual massage is all about smooth, soft , deep touches, and a therapeutic massage is more geared towards improving circulation and un knotting worn out, tired muscles, for example. Always begin a sensual massage with ambiance. Light candles, tidy up the bedroom, and clear out anything that could be a distraction: alarm clocks, beepers, cell phones, etc. Stay very receptive to your partners cues during the massage about the areas you are caressing and the techniques you are using to draw out those little moans and groans that can drive people wild. Before you begin the massage, and even better even before your partner enters the room for the sensual massage, make sure that your hands have been washed and your fingernails trimmed. Sharp, uneven, thin fingernails can feel like blades if they start sliding in and out of places. Certainly start out with a soft, light touch. You want to make sure your partner gets relaxed right off the bat and aroused, not all feisty and wild yet. A final good tip while giving your loved one a magical sensual massage is to NEVER drizzle any oils or lotions directly on to his or her back or stomach or any other body parts. The sudden cold or hot sensation being unexpected will startle your partner, and instead of relaxing, he or she will begin to tense up a bit, in anticipation of when the next jolt of liquid will drop onto them. If you keep in mind these important points, you will be successful in giving your partner a fantastic, relaxing, increasingly erotic massage that will eventually lead to sex. And when you combine an incredible massage with heated, passionate sex, you are sure to have a night to remember.
