THE SENSUOUS ART OF MASSAGE

THE SENSUOUS ART OF MASSAGE

A sensual massage is a full body massage that helps release tension and stimulates the senses. Massage helps relax muscles throughout the body, soothes headaches, improves the work of the immune system, helps increase circulation and is excellent for brain functioning. Not only that, but massage has been linked to improvements in the nervous and digestive systems and is also recommended for overall optimum health.

A Lovers Touch is Powerful

The power of touch is a strong one that cannot be denied and a sensual massage (also called and erotic massage) is an excellent way for lovers to become closer in their intimate relationship with one another. Both partners should learn the art of sensual massage in order that they can take turns pleasing one another.

Engaging in a Sensual Experience

Plan to engage in a sensual massage when you both have plenty of time. Remember this is a way to relax and release stress therefore, it cannot be hurried. Cast aside all of your worries and concerns and you will enable your senses the opportunity to gear up for an engaging all over body experience.

The giver of the massage should assemble all necessary supplies such as towels, massage oil or lotion at a location nearby before he/she gets started. An interrupted massage is not encouraged.

Before beginning a massage, it is a good idea to take a shower or a bath (taking one together is even better) as this helps begin the relaxation process for the body ( both physically and mentally) and also raises body temperature.

You will want to do all you can to facilitate a successful sensual awakening after all!

Sensual Ambiance

Dim the lights, put on soft music, and choose one of the ELEMENT Mist Massage Oils from the SOY SPACASSO collection to set the sensual ambiance.

It is important to choose the oil scent( EARTH, WIND, OR FIRE)that is most appealing and mood stimulating to the receiver of the massage. Since most sensual massages take place in the privacy of the home, improvise as far as location goes. Use a bed, a table, or even the floor. Make sure the receiver has something comfy to lie on while the massage is being done. It is also important that you can reach your partner’s body form all angles. Keep this in mind when you choose an appropriate spot. Open space and easy accessibility are both essential.

Warmth and relaxation is required so make sure the room is warm before you begin the massage, as you don’t want the receiver to feel chilly as his/her body temperature drops ( women’s tend to drop quicker than men’s). Warmth and a good sensual massage go hand in hand. Have warm towels in the dryer so that when your partner takes his/her clothes off and lies face down, you can drape the warm towel over the derriere.

Heating the chosen ELEMENT Mist Massage Oil in warm water or a few seconds in the microwave is a smart idea to bring it to the desired temperature. Just make sure oil is tepid or warm, not burn-your-skin hot! Ouch!

If the giver and partner desires, he/she may want to remove his/her clothes as well. Skin toskin contact between the two individuals makes for an even better massaging experience.

In order to start, you need to generously pump the ELEMENTS Mist Massage Oil of choice onto your partner’s skin. Do remember to make sure oil is warm. If it has cooled down significantly , pump oil in your hands to warm oil back up and then massage on to your partner’s body. Use enough oil to cover selected area but not so much that it is dripping all over the place.

It is considered a good rule of thumb to start with the back, and then move to the shoulders, arms, hands, derriere, legs and feet. Once the person is sufficiently relaxed and enjoying the sensuality of the experience, turn them over and begin with a gentle ear and scalp rub, then move down to the front of the legs , the tops of the feet and finally the abdomen, chest and if desired the genitals. You can change the order if you like, whatever is comfortable to both parties just don’t forget any body parts as they all need your undivided attention!

Here are Some Helpful KEY POINTS of Massage

As you being to massage, keep these key points in mind. First, don’t break contact with your partner’s body even to change position or add more massage oil. Keep a consistent rhythm going as this creates a hypnotic, not to mention, erotic effect. Repeat your strokes more than once (in other words, go over and over each area, giving it as much TLC as possible).

Learn to practice the art of symmetry. This means, massage one arm then the other, then one leg, then the other. Don’t forget any one part and massage even the tiniest area.

Keep your fingers close together. Do not spread them apart as you massage. Use the entire flat of your hands to stroke. Use the pads of your fingers only to work tight and hard to reach spots on the body. Lean into the massage as this will help you perform with your entire body, so that you don’t grow tired quickly.

Sensual Massage Moves

To describe a few of the basic sensual massage moves or maneuvers, look at the full body stroke, hand moves and the derriere portions of this pamphlet.

Sensual Full Body Stroke

The full body stroke helps to get the massage off to a sensual start. The giver should place his/her hands on their partner’s hands with one long firm motion, stroke up the arms, take it across the shoulders, down the back, down the derriere, the legs and finally down the feet, ending at the toes. Now you are going to do the same thing in reverse. Start at the toes and follow the same path moving back up to hands. For more enjoyment, move up neck, ears and head. When is it time to do your partner’s front? Anytime you both desire! Repeat the exact same stroke on that side.

Sensual Hand Manipulation

Using your full hand is encouraged but experiment with what suits you best. Fingers, thumbs and palms can all be used to enhance the overall sensual experience.

As an example, place your thumbs at the base of the receiver’s spine and slowly move up applying pressure that is both smooth and firm. Then do the arms and legs the same way. A word of caution – Do not put extreme direct pressure on the spine and other bones. Keep the harder massaging for the muscles and surrounding tissue.

Derriere

When it comes to your partner’s derriere, place one hand on each cheek and move your hands in opposite directions. Another idea is to massage the inner thighs and pull up and out on either cheek. Both can be pleasurable ways to go.

Usually you will be able to tell by your partner’s verbal sounds and body language (i.e. you will feel his/her body relaxing and giving themselves up to the experience).

The giver should try to put him/herself in the place of the receiver, figuratively speaking in order to know what feels good to the senses and the skin. If you enjoy being touched in a certain way, your partner probably will too.

Now that you are equipped with some basics, you will want to go visit the SOY SPACASSO website (www.spacasso.com) and check out the sumptuous lotions and whip that can also be used for a luxurious massage experience.
