Make a Sensual Massage Your Most Erotic Experience Ever!

Romance and eroticism are the spices of life. They are often poured on in the beginning of a relationship, but over the course of time, they begin to fade. Keeping a relationship spicy may come naturally to some, but for others it requires a conscious effort. A passionate night of erotic massage is an excellent way to keep your relationship alive.

"Sensual massage, if done correctly, can be quite erotic", says Vera Franco Dahm, Ph.D., a licensed professional clinical counselor and massage therapist in Dayton, Ohio. "It connects you to someone in a way that's impossible through words alone. And the best part is that the benefits are cumulative. The more you touch each other, the more you'll feel connected to the other person."

Today, holistic therapy and sensual massage are as popular as they have ever been, however the typical man or woman does not routinely enjoy the benefits of massage. Unless we are privileged CEO's who are afforded massages on the job, most of us don't have the time or the money to frequent a day spa on a regular basis. Yet giving a sensual massage (even an amateur one) can be one of the most titillating things a couple can do for each other.

The keys to giving a steamy full body massage are simple:

Find a comfortable, quiet place
If you have kids, send them to Grandma's or get a babysitter and go out for the night. Renting a hotel room can be a good idea because it's a wonderfully private escape and you'll never have to worry about messing up your sheets!

However, if your home is your sanctuary and that's where you feel safe- home is also a great place for an erotic massage. (Don't do it on the bed- it's too soft. Pile blankets on the floor, or if you have a futon- work your magic there.)

Set the mood
Turn off the phone and the television. Dim the lights and burn some candles.

Ladies, if you really want to entice your man- slip into some sexy lingerie . Although... you won't be wearing it for very long!
You naughty little kitten!

Set the night off right by putting on your favorite soft music to get you and your sweetheart in an aroused frame of mind. Try to keep talking to a minimum and focus on communicating through touch.

Let Your Fingers do the Talking

The best area to begin your sensual massage is the back and shoulders, which hold a great deal of tension and stress from every day activities. Next, move your strokes to the arms, buttocks, inner thighs, and the feet. Finally, work your way back up the body and end by massaging the scalp.

Then have your partner turn over so you can work on the front of the body. Move in the same direction (from the chest to the stomach; and then to the arms, thighs, calves, and feet). End your erotic massage routine by gently caressing the face.

If you really want to drive your lover wild, here are some awesome sensual massage techniques for you to practice:

Rocking
While your partner is lying down, gently push back and forth on her (or his) back to rock the body from side to side. (Use her tailbone as a kind of handle for the palm of your hand, which should start the motion.)

This rhythmic movement might get you and your honey pretty hot and bothered, but save sex for later. Touching often leads to sex, but doesn't have to right away. By making the massage a distinct and separate activity, your focus will be on relaxation, relieving stress, and surrendering. Your massage should gradually progress into a more passionate form of foreplay and anticipation. However, if you can hold out for a while before taking it to the next level, it will result in a far more erotic love-making experience.

Stroking
Using massage oil, slowly glide your hands (palms open and facing down) up and down your partner's body. By doing this you will soothe your lover and also create friction, which helps to warm up the skin.

Kneading
Place your palm on your partner's back or shoulders, stretching your thumb out at almost a 90-degree angle from your palm. Then place the index finger from you other hand above and diagonal to your thumb. Glide your thumb up on the skin while simultaneously pushing your index finger from your other hand down. Repeat this motion several times.

Next, moving your hands along the body, push your thumb up again and continue the motion in a steady windshield wiper-like fashion. While kneading, you should be pinching the skin very gently between your thumb and fingertips. Be sure to use massage oil to make your hands glide more easily. This takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, it will become second nature.

Pressing
Use your fingertips (and particularly your thumb) to gently press into the skin. This technique is especially appropriate for the scalp and face, which are more delicate than other larger areas of the body. Gently press your fingertips into the forehead and glide them across the brow, down along the nose, around the top of the cheekbones and alongside the jawbone.

Your sensual massage should also include some caressing of your lover's earlobes. That should really get the fire going!

Knuckling
Make your hands into fists and apply gentle pressure from your knuckles into the muscles. Continue to glide your knuckles over the body moving up and down.
