One last, closing point to make about sensual massages. Pay close attention to the cues that your partner is giving off. You probably won’t have to ask if your lover is enjoying the massage or not, (although you can) as you will more than likely be able to tell by the person’s verbal sounds and body language (i.e. you will feel his/her body relaxing and giving themselves up to the experience).
The giver should try to put him/herself in the place of the receiver, figuratively speaking, in order to know what feels good to the senses and the skin. If you enjoy being touched in a certain way, your lover probably will too.
Now that you are equipped with some basics of sensual massage, what are you waiting for? Go indulge yourself and your special someone.
Note- Two of the best books written on the subject are “The Art of Sensual Massage” by Gordon Inkeles and Robert Foothorap (Simon & Schuster) and “The Art of Erotic Massage” by Andrew Yorke (Javelin Books).
