Massage is great for getting out tension - but how about using it to turn up the heat? Erotic massage can be as gentle as a full body massage with a feather, or as thorough as a deep, penetrating caress. There are a number of different types of erotic massage techniques, but only a few which can be used effectively for a sensual massage.

Aromatherapy massage is very sensual, using essential oils and long strokes to promote calmness and relaxation. However, there are also oils which can provide for an aphrodisiacs effect. That can be great fun, especially after getting all your lover’s muscles nice and relaxed.

Another interesting type of erotic massage is stone therapy, which involves the use of heated and chilled rocks. This provides a number of different sensations, as well as deep tissue massage.

It is recommended that you not used the heated rocks unless you are a trained therapist, however. For chilled stones, you will want a type of stone that holds temperature well, such as marble. You can chill it in ice until it is around freezing temperature, and use it on various parts of the body.

There are countless other types of massage techniques, but we’re not trying to go for the technical - we’re trying to go for the sensual. Don’t worry too much about the method, but pay attention to the cues your partner gives you. This will allow you to adjust your strokes and caresses.

Don’t just dive into the sweet spot either. Take your time and pay attention to the entire body. Find out sensitive spots, as well as tight spots. Try to both relax and stimulate at the same time - it will lead to some great effects!

Once you are comfortable with the basic massages, you can either incorporate methods from more traditional forms of massaging, or just add in different elements. I’ve already mentioned the two types of massages that I think are highly erotic above, but even a tame massage can be heightened in intensity when you do it to your partner.

You can also spice up the erotic massage with different accessories, such as a feather duster or massage oil. If you do want to use oil, try to keep it away from the genital areas, as it might have some adverse effects in the area. It just depends on the kind of oil that you use.

Whether you just want to please your partner after a stressful day at work, or just want to try something new, this is a great idea to try.
