Can A Sensual Massage Improve Your Sex Life?
Massage is the act of applying pressure and
rhythmic strokes to the soft tissues with the
body.
You can be massaged with your hands or with
mechanical aids. The human body responds in a
positive way to massage of the soft tissues of
the body.
Pressure on the muscles, connecting tissue,
ligaments, joints, tendons and lymphatic nodes
all will give the body many benefits. Massages
are given by a professional therapist but is
often included as part of the treatment by
chiropractors, osteopaths, and physical
therapists.
You may receive a massage that concentrates
on one part of your body such as your neck and
shoulders, or you can receive a whole body
massage. A massage can aid in the healing of an
injury, help relieve psychological stress,
manage pain, and flush the toxins from the
muscles out of the body.
Therapeutic massage is used for
physiological, mechanical, and mental help for
the body. It is a part of human nature to be
sensual. We need to be attuned to our senses
and sensuality is part of being human.
Sensuality is most often governed by the sense
of smell.
Pheromones, the chemicals secreted from the
sweat glands are the most basic trigger for
sensual response. Natural plant oils used to
relax the body also will heighten our awareness
for our partner and put us in the mood for
sexual pleasure.
A massage can be a great way for you and
your partner to experience a closeness and
pleasurable experience.
You know the obvious erogenous zones but did
you know that your back could play a big part
in sensual pleasure? A sensual massage should
start with the right atmosphere.
Dim lighting or candlelight in a darkened
room with a few scented candles lit for a
romantic effect.
You and your partner can warm a few drops of
essential oils in your hands and warm them
before gently stroking your partners body. Sit
with your partner back-to-back pressing your
backs together gently.
Feel the contours of your partners back and
pressing your bodies together from shoulder to
pelvis. Rest you head on each others shoulder.
Trail your thumbs and fingers from the head
down the sides of the body.
Repeat this two or three times and gradually
applying more pressure.
Apply pressure along your partners spine
working your way down the torso especially
concentrating on the lower back area. Knead
the buttocks with the heel of your hand.
Heighten the sensual experience of your
partner massage by placing warm towels or a
blanket on the lower part of your partners
body so they will not be chilled.
Use scented massage oil that is warmed with
your hands before you put your hands on
their body.
Theraputic Massage Terms and
Facts.
Massage helps
to relax the muscles, even
between sessions.
The muscles are
warmed up and the increased
blood flow helps the body
remove lactic acid and other
things that make the muscles
feel stiff.
This is also
why it is very important to
start any massage with long,
slow stroking motions at
pressure so that the blood can
begin to flow to the muscles
faster.

Sweet almond oil and jojoba oil are great
for use in releasing tension. Use smooth
sweeping movements across your partners
back, shoulders and neck. Concentrate on
any spots that seem to be extra tense.
Finish the massage by lightly scratching
your partners skin in a circular or figure
eight pattern with your fingernails.
Finally, snuggle up to your partner and
enjoy the warmth and closeness you will
feel after giving or receiving a sensual
massage.
