Need to know how to give hot stone massages? Massage is a great way to start off an intimate night with your partner. If you’ve already tried massage oils and aromatherapy, why not give hot stones a try? Here are some tips for any man who wants to learn how to give hot stone massages in the bedroom.

  1. Use a crockpot. Why should you be in the kitchen when your partner is in the bedroom? To give a hot stone massage, you obviously have to heat up the stones. A quick way to do this is to throw the stones in a crockpot for thirty minutes on low. Only add enough water to lightly cover the surface of the stones
  2. Prepare your partner. You don’t want to just throw hot stones on your partner’s bare back. Cover the legs with a sheet to keep your partner warm while you massage other areas. For added effect, place a small hot stone on each calf. Then, gently touch a stone to your partner’s skin, asking if it’s too warm. Gradually increase pressure, and make sure your partner communicates with you if she is uncomfortable.
  3. Use simple hot stone techniques. Hot stone massages are a little different than other types of massage because the heat warms up the muscles and makes the body more sensitive. With one of the bigger stones, run up and down each side of your partner’s spine from the sides of the neck to her waist. For the legs, work from the feet to the thighs (toward the heart). Remember to keep moving the sheets so your partner doesn’t get goosebumps.
  4. Add a little something. You can make the hot stone massage truly memorable if you add special touches. Burn lavender scented incense or spray the sheets with your cologne. Leave candles burning around the room and turn down the lights. Play classical or romantic music to help your partner get the most out of your massage.
