Why you should give your partner a massage as a foreplay
Massage is a popular pastime for a great many couples, and not just as a way of un-knotting the shoulders after a long day at work. The reason that massage is so effective as a foreplay method is that it relaxes the body, and relaxation is the key to good sex.
The human body can experience pleasure through every one of the five senses – sight, sound, smell, taste and, of course, touch. When you touch and stroke your lover, it stimulates thousands of nerve endings and they send pleasure chemicals straight to the brain – and also the groin. Making the effort to touch and massage your lover before, as well as during, sex will help to improve intimacy, not just during sex but in general.
At the same time, a really good sensual massage helps to set the mood for a fantastic lovemaking session. It makes your partner feel special, and prepares the body for sex, creating a whole range of gorgeously erotic sensations which heighten feelings all over the body and make for a much better experience all round – for both of you!
Paying attention to your lover’s body while giving them a really good massage is the perfect way to build up a sense of intimacy between you as a couple, which can give you both a much deeper connection during sex, and if you learn how to do it properly, it also builds up a sense of erotic tension that can get the person being massaged (and the person doing the massaging) incredibly aroused. Getting really turned on before the sex even starts will enhance your lovemaking and leaves both partners deeply receptive and more likely to orgasm.
While you’re giving your partner a deeply erotic massage he will never forget, you’re also working on your own skills of touch, timing and communication, all skills which will help you to become a more sensitive, better lover.
Adding a few sensual massage oils to the massage mix adds a completely new dimension to the experience, too. When you’re giving a sensual massage, you will need to think about not just what will feel nice against your partner’s skin, but also how it will smell – the scent of the massage oil is a major part of the experience for both. Think about rose oil mixed with carrier oil like grape seed if you’re massaging a woman; it’s the type of scent that most people enjoy and really does add a sensuous touch. If you’re massaging a man, pure grape seed oil is a favourite – it doesn’t have an intense smell to it, but it will stay lubricated for a long time… and is 100% natural, so avoids skin irritation. Sandalwood is another one you might like to add to the mix – it’s said to work wonders for the libido!
