Nothing compares to a massage when it’s done properly, so learning a few tricks is a sure-fire way to get you in your boyfriend’s good books. After receiving the new K-Y Touch Massage 2-in-1 product recently I was very keen to learn more about how I could use it to get the best results.
After a bit of research (you’ve really got to be careful typing “massage” into Google!) here’s what I’ve learnt…
Tip 1: Set the Mood Turn the phone off (yep, even your cellphone… the world won’t crumble if you miss a call) and unplug from the world. Light candles, dim the lights and put on some relaxing music.
Tip 2: Never Dry Massage Always use massage oil so your hands glide freely over your partner’s body. I’m loving the new K-Y Touch Massage 2-in-1, which warms up on contact with the skin, is fragrance free and really nice and light, so you don’t end up a sticky mess! It also doubles as a personal lubricant, making it a one stop shop!
Tip 3: Fingers + Neck = Good Trace your fingers along the nape of your partner’s neck and try and touch him the way you would like to be touched. Instead of just absentmindedly rubbing your hand back and forth imagine how it feels for him… have fun and be playful!
Tip 4: Lightly Caress the Spine Make sure you do a “pressure check” at the beginning and from time to time throughout the massage to make sure he’s comfortable. You want him thinking of a sexy Swedish masseuse, not a big scary Helga with fingers of pain!
Tip 5: Try Sensuous Strokes All Over Don’t just focus on your partner’s back… chances are his whole body enjoys being touched. Pay attention to his feet, calves, hips, head and forearms to really get him relaxed and happy.
Tip 6: Vary the Pressure Rub the flat of your hands along the lower back. Thumbs, fingertips, knuckles and the flat of the hand can all be used in different ways to stimulate the different areas of the body. Remember variety is the spice of life!
Tip 7: Make Him Breathe To help your partner truly relax encourage him to take long, slow, deep breaths. This will aid in releasing tension and also help focus his sense of touch.
Hopefully by now, if he’s not a jellied mess, he’ll be able to return the favour! Alternatively, print this page out and suggest he gives it a go… you’ll definitely need to take time out for a sensual massage with all the Christmas stress going on at the moment.
