Where to Begin When Giving Massages
The main goal in giving your partner a massage is to make them feel relaxed. If you are worried or are a little nervous you partner will be able to read your body language and it will be more difficult for them to be relaxed. But if you are confident when giving a massage it can be a very sensual and relaxing thing.
When you begin to massage to your partner start slowly. You have to be sensitive to the response of your partner and then adapt the massaging technique you use accordingly. While it is the case that a great massage is not easy to perform it is also hard to give a bad massage if you follow this simple rule. You can get some oil or lotion and rub it into you hands and get started.
A massage is all about getting touched. Because of this you should try to always be touching your partner. When you explore your partner’s body you should try to do it continuously to keep the flow of the massage constant. This will also increase the intimacy level of the massage. If it is the first time you are giving your partner a massage communication is key. You do not have to ask them every time if something feels good but ask them if they want a touch that is firmer or softer. It is also very important that you listen to the breathing of your partner. This is a good indication of how your massage is going. You should try to keep your movements rhythmic and symmetric when you begin the massage, as this will let your partner know what is happening and they will be more relaxed. When you become more experienced at giving a massage you will learn certain tricks and moves that will make your massaging ability better.
When you begin the message there is no right or wrong place to begin if all areas are not off limits. Some spots on the body are more sensitive than others and these parts are generally the parts that will allow you to massage the entire body of your partner. However there is nothing wrong with messaging an area more than others, such as the feet, back, and erogenous zones. But you have to make sure you do not overly focus on the more sensitive areas of your partner’s body.
One good way to begin a massage is at the feet and working your way up the body. You can also begin at the head and work your way down the body. There is no right way of starting message, as it will depend on how your partner feels. You can experiment and see what your partner likes and what makes them relaxed. A good place for beginners is to start the massage at the shoulders and then work your way around the neck and scalp. Then massage the arms, upper back, lower back, posterior, thighs and then the calves. You can then have your partner turn over and you can massage the other side. There are some areas of the body that it is better to massage in a soft manner and some areas in a harder manner. You have to read the body language of your partner and how massaging various parts of the body makes them feel.
