Are you looking to spice up your love life? A sensual and intimate massage might be just what you need! Not only is it a great way to connect with your spouse, but it can also be incredibly relaxing and a great way to relieve stress.

Here are some tips on how to give an intimate massage that your spouse won’t forget:

Set the Mood

The first step to giving a great massage is to set the mood. Here are some things you can do to create a relaxing and sensual atmosphere:

  • Lighting: Make sure the room is not too bright. Low lighting, even candlelight, will help create a relaxed and sensual atmosphere.
  • Temperature: Cold drafts and chilly temperatures can quickly dampen the mood. Make sure the room is warm and draft-free.
  • Music: It should be soothing and soft – sounds of nature, waves, or rainfall are considered relaxing. Find something both you and your spouse will enjoy. You can find background sounds like the beach, or a thunderstorm, or the rainforest on the Ultimate Intimacy App under the “Intimate Extras” section.
  • Aroma: You can use essential oils, incense, or a massage candle to complement the scent of the body oil you chose for the evening.
  • Massage Oil: This is the most important ingredient. When you seek deep relaxation, we recommend our coconut body oil.

Get Hands-On

Now that you have set the mood, it’s time to start the massage. Here are some massage techniques that can help you make this an amazing session:

  • Start at the top: Most people carry tension in the scalp and shoulder area, so starting with a scalp massage will help your partner relax.
  • Take it slow: Remember, the key to making an intimate massage work is taking your time. The build-up of arousal will make the whole experience worth it.
  • Move down the back: Like the shoulders, this is another area people tend to carry their stress and tension. Kneading this area with your palms will release the tension and relax the body.
  • Work your hands down a little to your spouse’s bottom. A proper butt massage promotes increased circulation to the glutes, and helps to improve range of movement as well as physical performance. Massaging the butt is also an excellent way to help loosen up the glutes as it allows fresh blood to flow through the pelvis and enhance arousal!
  • Next is the legs: Not everyone knows there are pressure points on your legs that can cause sexual arousal. Taking your time on the legs will make your partner feel even more relaxed and aroused.
  • Don’t forget the face: The face has many sensitive areas. The temples, the front of the neck, and ears are all sensitive places you can pay attention to.

Listen To Each Other

While you uncover new aspects of each other’s bodies, it is important to stay in the present. Pay attention to how your spouse responds to your touch. Ask them how they want your hands to move over their bodies.

Intimate massages include compression techniques, friction, kneading, and stroking – so you need to tune into what your spouse likes the most. Some people like to be touched lightly and caressed, while others prefer a more vigorous kneading to feel the pressure.

Remember to watch and listen to your spouses movements, breathing, and reactions during the massage. If they show any signs of discomfort during the massage, stop, and change the massage technique.

Massage Oils, Lubricants, Sex Toys

Oils, adult toys, and lubes can all be used to enhance the experience. A game change for our marriage has been the new vibrator we added. It is amazing and is a great way to finish off the intimate massage, and is a great tool for foreplay as well. You can find our top recommendations for massage oils, and toys HERE.

An intimate massage can be an amazing way to get things heated up in the bedroom and can be a great way for experience foreplay. Give these tips a try and get ready for an amazing time together.
