Oil lubricates the skin and helps your hands to mold to the curves and shape of you partner giving your strokes a more sensual feel. To apply oil use only enough to allow you hands to glide over the body too much oil will feel sticky and reduce your contact with your partner’s skin. The oil should not be poured directly on your partner since it will be too cold. To warm the oil, you can place the container in a dish of warm water or add some to the palm of you hand and rub your hands together. This also works during the massage but I have found that pouring it through the back of your fingers allows you to maintain contact and continue massaging your partner. Smooth the oil evenly over the part of the body you will be working on, using a light gliding stroke, but don’t try to rub it in.
Your skin is your largest organ and what goes on the skin will be absorbed into the body. So you should put some thought into what you will be using.
Do not use baby oil mineral oil peanut oil or olive oil since these are too thick. the “love” oils and lotions found in adult shops are often stick and thick they contain sugars an other flavoring and other chemicals. So I would not recommend them for a full body sensual massage. So use other pure light vegetable oils or professional grade massage oils.
To find suitable oils for your massage you need only to as far as you pantry. You will find something to use safflower oil and sesame oil work well and coconut oil almond and avocado oils are rich and luxuriant but may need to be mixed with a lighter oil
The only disadvantage to using these oils is that they are food grade and are meant for cooking so they contain the tastes and smells of the vegetables they were processed from, which is great if you are cooking you favorite chicken dish or sautéing shrimp but may not be the most that are relaxing or the odors you want lingering on your body.
Using professional grade massage and essential oils work best although the y cost a little more they provide a luxurious and silky feeling when used with out the smell of you kitchen oils they are usually organic vegetable oils that have been refined to remove the extra impurities and odors. Professional massage oils also make excellent carrier oils for using essential oils so you can supplement you massage with aromatherapy and tailor the massage to the scents you and your partner prefer as well as adding the therapeutic benefits of essential oils.
