How To Give A Good Massage

It can be hard to be sensual without knowing how to give a good massage. Well, granted, it doed not necessarily have to be an intimate thing. Hopefully you have not been condemned to giving your grandmother a good massage (no one should have to suffer that fate). A good massage is a combination of technique and relaxation on both the part of the performer and receiver. Want to give a good massage that is memorable? Read on.

1. Make the environment just right. The room should be neither too lit nor too dim to give a good massage. Music should be subtle and scented candles should not be overwhelming. Reserve the room in advance and clear any children, pets or distractions out beforehand.
2. Clean your hands. The utmost important instruments when giving a good massage are the fingers and palms. Washing your hands should be an obvious must, as well as a good rub down of lotion. A smooth hand is a must for a good massage.
3. Make the receiver comfortable. The body of your receiver should be flat, naturally in line with the mattress/sofa/whatever you are using as a support frame. To give a good massage, it is an absolute must to make your partner very comfortable. A pillow or two should suffice in areas like the head or feet that are not exactly vertical with the plane.
4. Start up. From the shoulders you will begin to give a good massage. From there, head to the neck, then down the back of the lats and to the sides. Use your fingertips gracefully, smoothly, slowly and firmly.
5. Be passionate. Ever seen an annoyed masseuse? Passion is an absolute must for a good massage, as emotion transfers from person to person. Love what you do and the receiver will too.

Although it is not always easy, giving a good massage is a definite possibility for even the most mediocre masseuse. You too can give a good massage, with or without the proper tools. Besides, too much oil is not good at all.
