What makes for a great massage?

[PHANTOM5875]

Hey Literotica buddies. A few of us at lunch today were discussing what constitutes a great massage. What works for you guys and gals when you break out the massage oil. In other words, what makes is special, sexy, and memorable for you?

PHANTOM

 

[Butterfly]

Wow good question. Myself I love the low light the oil warm and my lover to start at my feet and work up the body stopping at paying close attention to the spots he knows that sets me off going all the way up to my shoulders. Then working backwards again to the feet. By then I'm so relaxed and totally turned on I'm jello in his hands. Plus, I'm willing to return the favor at his choice and how he wants it. That is how I love a massage.

 

[PHANTOM5875]

butterfly, that's really interesting. You really like the from the the feet to the shoulders approach as opposed to the opposite. I have been doing it just the opposite to you. Hmmmmm....think I will have to try reversing to see if my gal likes that better. I wonder if the other guys and gals out there feel the same way.

PHANTOM

 

[Butterfly]

PHANTOM I noticed with the feet to shoulder approach it is relaxing and erotic to me. My man has to be gentle at first with the feet so the touch is a whisper and then changes as he notice me relaxing or shall I say melting. I've tried the shoulder to feet and that is fine but with the other apporach it starts out as a whisper touch and gets more erotic as you go. Give it a try with your gal she may like it, like I said you pay close attention to those turn on spots of hers and she will be butter in your hands.
But I'm open to suggestions also so is my guy.

Look what I found

I went to the very last page and I discovered this so I decided to bring it up just to see how long it takes to work it's way down again.
Does anybody recognize these people?

What constitutes a great massage for me is when they don't rub me the wrong way.

 

[Samuari]

Good idea Jay. Of course this time it will get some trafic.

If I'm giving/geting a massage as foreplay, then I like to start at the neck anad shuolder, and work my way down.

If i'm helpping her to relax, I'll start with the feet and spend at least 20 minutes working on the small bones that make up the arch, before moving on to the calf and the rest of her.

 

[Xander]

Yes I reconise Butterfly. She used to be a massive poster back when I joined Lit.
Cool chick

Buterfly?

First name of Iron...used to be a Rock band in the late sixties?

 

[WriterDom]

I like to start at the shoulders and work down to the feet. Then flip her over and go from the feet up skipping her pussy for the time being. Recently bought a book on Tantra that goes into genital massage but haven't had a chance to apply it yet. need a volunteer

Can I sign up for one of these?

A good massage for me is slow, soft music, an oil that is scented with something to relax, candlelight, and words whispered into my ear.

 

[Zephan]

All I can say is atthe end of a great massage

I CUM

 

[lady_deanna]

If you haven't had a facial message, as far as relaxing goes, that is tops.

If you're looking for sensual, what does it for me is the lower back, butt, and so on down the back of the legs to the feet bottoms.

Lavender scented oils of course.

I'm not one for promoting my writing but my story says it all for me as to what I think makes a great massage...

Blue, you did go diging to bring this one up.

It does bring up some very good memories of messages exchanged a long time ago when we would have the house to our selves for the afternoon, and could lazily spend it building each other's fantacies.

First, set aside a realy big block of time 4-5 hours at least. Share a light meal, say a lage salad that you feed to each other. Have finger food available, like grapes or a fuit salad. to peice on as you go through the afternoon.

Spend the time learning all about your partners responces and where the Hot buttons are. ther is no rush, so let your fingers memorize her body. I like to start with the feet, and starting with the small bones of the arch work my way out to the toes.soothing away tension as I go. I once took 20 nminutes for each foot. then work your way up to her shoulders and ask her to turn over...

Alternively, you can start at her hips, work down each leg to her toes, then up to her shoulders.

 

[Private Vasquez]

I think hands are best, but sometimes elbows and feet work too.

 

[Oilpainter]

I think a full body massage is the way to go: You get out the baby oil. ( I like the smell, I dont know why) Warm the oil in your hands efore starting. Have your partner lay completly nude on the bed facing down.. You have he or her put their arm up over their head anfd begin with their hands. Each finger should be worked over. Work your way up the arm to the shoulder. Repeat this for the other arm. Then begin working the neck, upper shoulders, mid back, along the spine, lower back and ass cheeks. Surprisingly ass rubs are very nice. Have your partner spread their legs and work their thigh working down the leg to the knee, calf,foot and then each toe. Repeat for second leg.

The have your partner flip over and give a facial massage working the top of the head, then forhead, around nose to chin, work the sinus areas . Then massage the front shoulders, breast area, stomace and pubic mound.

Throughout the process use as much oil as you like. And putting a sheet under your partner is a good idea. Also I think a massage should involve all the senses so I light lots of candles, put some very relaxing classical music on and light incense. The whole process takes about 2 hours but is absoultly the most wonderful gift you can give your partner. The key is not rushing and really connecting with your partners body and energy during the massage.

At Walmart they sell a mini crockpot in the crafts section for heating potpourri. It makes an excellent warmer for your oil of choice in massages. I just plug it in on the nightstand and add oil, keeps it warm all night long and puts off the nice scent of the oil as well. It's only bout five inches in diameter and sells for like 8 or 9 dollars.
