Why Give a Sensual Massage?
A sensual massage is a type of massage that is both pleasurable and relaxing. It helps your partner relax and feel good after a long day of work and stress by stimulating the body’s erogenous zones. It’s a romantic gesture that’s perfect for people with physical touch as their love language, as it involves physical contact and closeness with your partner. What’s more, it can be a different yet pleasurable way of turning on your significant other before making love.
1. Learn the Art of Massaging
No need to worry. You don’t have to learn everything there is to know about the art of massaging, but a good foundation would be a good start. Fortunately, there are plenty of resources on the web you can check out to learn how to give a sensual massage. The Vitaly Advocate YouTube channel has an excellent video that we recommend for those who want to learn. You can also watch this video on the Howcast Youtube channel. If you’d rather read a book to learn more about this art, there’s The Art of Sensual Massage by Gordon Inkeles that is worth reading.
2. Set Up Your Massage Room
Choose a place in your home where you’d like to give your partner the massage. Once you’ve chosen the room, maximize your workspace and keep the room free of distractions. Ideally, you should use a massage table so that you can always position yourself properly around your partner’s body to give the massage, but if you don’t have one, you can always use the bed in your bedroom. If you’re ever tempted to buy a massage table, Amazon Commercial makes portable folding massage tables at a very low price.
Next, it’s important to have massage oil with you, to help your hands glide more smoothly during the massage, and to moisturize and treat the skin. Towels will also be needed to wipe off oily skin at the end of the massage.
Now that all the massage equipment has been prepared, it’s time to create a romantic ambience in the room. When it comes to lighting, you can’t go wrong with warm, low-intensity lighting. For this reason, candles are an excellent addition to a massage room. It’s even better if you buy scented candles to give your room a pleasant, relaxing sensory experience. Essential oils and a diffuser can also be used. You can then add rose petals all around the massage table to amplify the romantic mood.
Once that’s done, you can pull out your phone and speakers to play a playlist of romantic and relaxing songs. Make sure the playlist is long enough for the duration of the massage, and that the volume is adjusted to a level that doesn’t prevent you and your partner from understanding each other when you talk.
Finally, don’t forget to bring snacks and a bottle of wine or champagne that you and your partner can enjoy during the sensual massage.
3. Give the Sensual Massage
While giving the massage, start slow and give your significant other the time to relax. Use the techniques you have learned and focus on the important areas of your partner’s body such as their head, chest, arms, back, shoulders, legs and feet. After a while, go for the erogenous zones. Don’t forget to ask your partner about their pressure preferences and where they’d like to be massaged. Use also your imagination to make the massage more sensual. Handcuff or blindfold your partner. Kiss their body. Use your tongue or ice cubes to play with the sensory experience of your partner. Whisper romantic words in their ears. Use this opportunity to feel and admire your significant other’s beautiful body.
