Preparing for the sensual massage

A sensual massage is not just a massage. it is a shared experience, where both the giver and the receiver each have their own part to play in this complete immersion of the senses. Preparing for the sensual massage is simple, but important. Making sure that all of the senses are stimulated will enable you and your partner to enjoy a synergistic and fullfiling encounter.

 

As the reciever you simply need to open yourself to the experiance and be ready to enjoy the masage. Avoid eating a large meal, a heavy bloated feeling is not going to help you relax and laying on your stomach could be uncomfortable. Keep your alcohol use to a minimum. Alchohol will dull your senses. A warm bath or shower is great to wash away daily grime that can be abrassive when mixed with massage oil and will begin the relaxation of your musles.

 

Before giving a sensual massage be sure you are ready. Ensure that your hands are clean and warm. (Holding your hands under warm running water helps.) Your fingernails should be trimmed, and  remove any jewelry since it can be uncomfortable for you partner. Finally, make sure you are not tired, fatigued or under heavy stress because this will be perceived by your partner.

Having open and honest communication is one of the key elements of a great realtionship and the sensual massage is a simple way to learn to open up to each other. To begine this open communication, one of the most important things to do is remove your expectations. You and your partner need to know that the sensual massage is an experiance itself, to be given and accepted with no strings attached. Take the phone off the hook , hang up the do not disturb sign. Do whatever it takes to ensure you privacy for this time together. While your partener will have their eyes closed throuout most of the massage a warm and soothing visual enviornment will set the stage for them. It will also help you the giver to remain relaxed and allow you to enjoy your own sensual experiance. Candlelight dancing on the supple oiled body of your partner can be hypnotic and plesurable all by itself.

 

To give a good sensual massage, you need a firm surface  a bed is usually too soft and will not allow you to apply the pressure needed or the space to move around. A massage table  is ideal of course, but the floor works quite well as long as you place some padding under your partner and a pillow to support their head. You need to have room to move freely, dim lights or candles will create soothing visual  environment and use warm colors such as yellows oranges and reds.

Speaking of warm make sure that the room is warm, draft free and comfortable the temperature should be near 75 degrees. (23 C) It is best if your partner is nude however you should have towels or sheets on hand in case they are cool or uncomfortable being compleatley nude .

 

Our minds and bodies react to the sound we hear. Having your massage accompanied by gentle soothing music or the sounds of nature can enhance the mood and mask surrounding noises. Avoid music with lyrics they are often distracting and can detract from the intimacy of the sensual massage. Of Course sometimes silence is golden.

 

Using essential oils is a natural accompiniment to the sensual massage. Thes organic oil will deepen the relaxation and enhane the immersion of ou partners experiance. Essental oils come in a large varity of scents  and blends and can be taylored to you prefreces and moods.

 

Make sure that your tools are nearby you will want to maintain contact with your partner during the massage. Put your oil in a small bowl or bottle. if you use a bottle do not put the lid on since you would need to take your hands off you partner to apply the oil. When you set your hands on your partner and begin your massage move with a constant speed so the rhythm of your movement will help to build the soothing effect of the massage.

The sensual massage is a gift given from love and caring. You should let go of any expectations.

In today’s society, it is difficult to just accept something without feeling the need to reciprocate, but by just accepting the sensations created by your partner, you will be able to truly enjoy the massage and the bond created between you. Let your partner know what you need before the massage begins. Tell them of any sore spots or tension that you have. At first during the massage you need only lie quietly and guide them. Let them know how much pressure you like or the speed that you find most comfortable, soon they will learn what you like. Then you simply need to abandon yourself completely to the massage and the sensations of this wonderful experience together.
