Reduces the levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and Arginine Vasopressin, a hormone believed to play a role in aggression. Not only that but having a better massage generally means better sex.
Anyone can give a good sensual massage. You just need to relax a follow a few simple techniques on how to give an effective massage:
- Set the Mood:
Create a relaxing environment which could include: having a hot bath or shower to soften the muscles, making sure you have a private space, dimming the lights or using candles; having clean sheets; playing relaxing music; using essential oil aromatherapy; speaking in a calm soothing tone.
- Massage Oil:
Choose a good quality natural massage oil. Massage oil is better than a simple moisturiser as it stays on the skin longer and provides a better glide with less friction. Using scented massage oils also stimulate the senses increasing enjoyment. It is also important to use an organic or natural massage oil to nourish the skin. Using massage oils containing preservatives or synthetic ingredients have been proven to be bad for your health. Cover the skin with oil before massaging to prepare the muscles for the massage.
- Communication
Always aim to give an amazing massage. Talk with your partner to find out what they like and do not like. Ask if if the pressure is good or if there is somewhere they would like you focus on. This helps build up trust which is vital in having an amazing relationship and sexual experience.
- Take your time
Massage is a very intense sensual experience the simulates all of your senses at the same time. It should be a relaxing and enjoyable experience so it is important to take your time.
- Use Relaxing Strokes
Warm your hands and gently stroke the skin. Moving your hands from head to toe. Then gently increase the pressure by rubbing or kneading all the muscles. You can gently rub your partners scalp and toes. Try to avoid pressing too hard or causing pain as this type of massage is intended for relaxation. Focus on making long smooth strokes and try to read how your partner is reacting to the massage. Throwing in a kiss, lick or nibble. If your hands get tired use other parts of your body for example your chest, arms or feet.
- Use Toys
You can use specially designed massage toys to compliment your massage. There are many different types and they all have different settings. Starting off with a gentle vibration you can slowly intensify them by changing the setting. These massager toys can be used on all parts of the body including your partners delicate bits.
- Maintain Contact
It is important to maintain contact during the massage as a break in the contact can cause a break in the relaxation.
