Sensual massage should be an act of love.

Dont give a massage if you feel too tired.

Choose a place where you know you will not be interrupted.

Keep the room at a comfortable temperature.

You need a supportive base and plenty of room to be able to move around your lover.

Use a towel to cover any areas of the lovers body you are not massaging which start to feel cold.

Use a dry, warm towel for wiping off oil from your hands or your lovers body, especially the feet, at the end of the massage.

Take a bath or shower together before you start.

FAN STROKES: Place your hands side by side with your fingers close together and pointing in the direction of  the stroke. Glide both hands steadily over the skin, distributing the pressure evenly across your hands. When your hands stroke as far as you wish to take them, spread them both outwards in opposite directions to make a shape like a fan, maintaining a steady pressure as you move them apart. Round your stroke to complete the fan shape, and at the same time, begin to draw your hands more lightly back together as you do so. Repeat the stroke as a flowing motion.
 

CIRCULAR STROKES: Place your hands over the sides of the body, slipping your fingers slightly underneath. Now pull one hand towards you, then the other, sliding the pressure from the heel to the fingertips each time. As one hand reaches the center, lift it off and replace it over the side of the body to repeat the stroke, maintaining a continuous pulling motion.
 

STRETCHING: Place your hands together, fingertips pointing away from you, over the center of the spine or the; area that you want to release with a stretching movement. Firmly and steadily draw your hands in opposite directions. When stretching over the spine, take one hand to the top and rest the other at the base.
 

RAKING STROKES: Bend your fingers so that just the tips rest on the skin and make short, firm movements down or out of the body. Use both hands together or let one hand follow the other.
 

FEATHER STROKES: Delicately trace your fingertips over the skin, using one hand after the other in a continuous movement, or lingering playfully with just one hand at a time. Change the pressure and speed of your strokes slightly to vary the sensations of your touch.
