Learning to give a good sensual massage can put a spark into your relationship and help to spice up your love life. It’s a great gift that you can give to your partner, and a great way to build trust and intimacy together. To make the experience as sensual as possible, both of you should feel comfortable, clean, and fresh. Bathe and groom yourself, paying particular attention to your hands and fingernails. Your fingers should be clean and clipped before you give a sensual massage.

When you’re massaging, ask questions like, “Is that too firm?” or “Does that feel good?” when you move to a new area of the body. Listen and adjust your massage accordingly. It’s also good to avoid turning the massage into an interview. Use your judgment and listen to the sounds your partner makes. Moans of pleasure are good signs, so keep doing what you’re doing.
