Steps for giving a sensual massage using essential oils:
1) Create the right environment – turn off or unplug all phones, ask your partner to be naked and make sure you are free of distractions.
2) Set up all your supplies within easy reach and have everything ready to go.
3) Put on some relaxing music.
4) Warm some oil in your hands and begin by rubbing the person’s shoulders.
5) Using your thumbs make circular motions on the back, neck, and shoulders.
6) Apply oil to your hands and rub the entire body.
Start with the feet, then work your way up from the ankles, calves, thighs, etc. Be sure to spend plenty of time on the abdomen and chest area. Spend extra time rubbing the back, shoulders and neck.
7) Create more oil mix or warm more oil in your hands as necessary.
8) End with a 30-60 minute full body massage, focusing on the back, neck and scalp.
How to give a sensual massage without oils:
Applying lotion or another cream during a sensual massage is not necessary, but it may make things more convenient for you if your partner has dry skin. If you decide to use lotion or another cream, apply a small amount to your palms and then rub your hands together to warm it up. Then rub your hands over the area you want to apply the lotion. Using circular motions, begin at the feet and slowly work your way up towards the head. Be sure to spend plenty of time on the chest and abdomen.
Never apply lotion or another cream to the person’s genitals! This should go without saying, but you don’t want to have to explain to an ambulance EMT why you covered your partner’s junk in A&D ointment.
Cautions when using essential oils and lotions:
Do not apply oil or cream to the genitals! The oils and creams can cause a variety of negative reactions to the sensitive skin in that area. Also, avoid applying it around the butt crack or the genitals.
Always wash your hands after applying oils and creams to your partner. If you inadvertently touch your own genitals, it can cause a burning sensation that lasts for hours.
If your partner begins to feel lightheaded or nauseous, have them sit up and drink some water. The person may also experience a warming sensation throughout their body or a temporary increase in blood pressure. These effects will pass as soon as the massage is over.
Have fun and be creative! Use the opportunity to explore your partner’s desires. Use these techniques with other types of foreplay and intimacy to achieve maximum effect. For more ideas, check out the following links:
