Everyone likes to be touched in that sensual kind of way. And although we all love massages, they're always a thousand times more enjoyable when done by a sexy lover. Massages can be used for anything fro
m calming your lover down from a tough day at work to getting her primed for some enthusiastic lovemaking.

To prepare for this bedroom excursion, you'll need a few mood setters as well as techniques. Below are some suggestions that will help spruce up your night of rubdown heaven.
Who Can I Do?
Invest in high-quality massage oils
Good ones do not absorb into the skin too quickly so they last longer while you're softly kneading away. You should also be very conscientious of the scents that you select. Overly scented oils have a tendency to be overwhelming. No one wants to smell like a bathroom deodorant spray anyway.

Aromatherapy is a wonderful way to select which scents you and your partner would like since certain scents produce specific effects. Lavender, for instance, puts people to sleep, while eucalyptus wakes people up but may be too powerful for sensitive skin. Wherever you shop for it, consult the clerks because they will know what works for you.

Set the environment
Close the lights and ignite lots of scented candles. Again, aromatherapy can be a big payoff but select something that is lightly scented and neutral. If you like, you can even burn some incense to create a relaxing environment.
Prep For The Steps
Massage yourself first
Wrap yourself in a towel for easy access. Warm up some oil in your hands and work the tendons at the back of your neck with your fingertips. Gently rub your arms and shoulders. Rub your temples slowly in circular motions and massage your jaw area for a moment since it usually contains a lot of tension.

By rubbing yourself first, not only do you feel more in the mood, you actually prep your hands for your partner.
Let Your Hands Command
Lay her body down comfortably
Lay her nude (or semi-nude) body stomach down on the bed and make sure she's in a comfortable position. Smooth the oil over her entire back in wide, smooth strokes with the flat part of your palm. Don't knead her body too intensely because you may end up causing more harm than comfort.

Rub her slowly and deeply; remember to be continuously sensual. Take your time and rub her in a way that makes her feel like you're willing to devote all the time in the world to her. Let her know that she has the option of reaching out and touching you whenever she wants.

Tease, don't squeeze
Work your way down from the back of her neck to her shoulders. Don't squeeze her neck because you may end up causing an unwanted choking sensation. If you're working the shoulders, be careful not to squeeze her collarbones with the muscle because it's an agonizing sensation.

Stretch out her arms and massage her biceps lightly with your fingertips. Work the back on either side of the spinal cord, but never push deeply on the spine itself. Use upward strokes laterally along the spine until you reach her tailbone. Feel free to tease the area around the base of the spine because it contains many sensitive nerve endings.

Give her a little TLC
After you've done your duty on her back and arms, work your way down to her legs, especially her inner thighs because they are incredibly sensitive. Her legs should be given special care. You don't have to be as cautious as with her back, but still remain gentle.

Rub her legs one section at a time, starting at her thighs, moving to her calves and finally ending at her feet. Don't stay on the feet too long or she'll get too relaxed and sleepy.

Rub her the right way
While you're rubbing, lean over and let your chest rub against her back ever so slightly. Let other parts of your body rub up against hers while in the midst of your massage. From time to time, exhale slowly along her body and when you're about to come to a close, nibble on her ear. By the time you're done rubbing her body down, she'll have much more than just rubbing on her mind.

So remember, foreplay should be used to tantalize the senses. Scents, touches, sounds, tastes and feels are probably the biggest parts of foreplay.Until next week, be safe, have fun and rub away...
