Drop-dead Sexy Massage for Lovers

What do you do for Valentine’s Day with your beloved? How about dumping the clichés and giving him or her a delicious long sensual massage? Few of us take the time and effort to explore our own bodies – and those of our partners – with anywhere near the love and awe they deserve.   Yet massage is one of the best ways to relax and to form a deep emotional bond with your partner.

It doesn’t have to be perfect or professional – far from it! Just go by your instincts and keep checking your partner’s responses (if they’re sighing it’s generally good, if they’re wincing maybe hold back a bit!). Make up the blends (recipes given below) and prepare your room – you don’t need a couch – you can work on the bed or on the floor (if you have an open fire there is nothing sexier than massage by firelight!) Just make sure your partner has a nice thick towel to lie on, and that he or she is going to be warm enough.

Keep the lights low – color therapy would say use a mix of red and pink candles for passion, love and romance – but it’s up to you. Light up your oil diffuser or burner and add a few drops of our Valentines’ Delight diffuser blend. Up to you entirely if you put on music or prefer silence so you focus on the sound of your hands on skin.

Now anoint yourself with our Aphrodite blend (if you don’t have it, use a little of the massage blend) – on your wrists, neck and temples. Remember, you are a goddess! Anoint your partner with either Aphrodite or Ares and ask them to breathe deeply and calmly, with the out-breath a little longer than the in-breath.

Now let’s get massaging!

1. Using our Sexy Minx massage blend, start massaging your partner’s back with your thumbs on either side of the spine; your fingers should be gliding up towards the neck. Allow your hands to glide slowly up the body and around the shoulders. Draw your hands lightly down the sides and then return to the starting position. Just keep a slow steady rhythm with the right amount of pressure for your partner (ask for feedback) – truly, you can’t go wrong!
2. Gently knead fleshy areas, such as hips and thighs. Lift, squeeze, and roll the skin between the thumb and fingers of one hand and glide it towards the other hand.
3. Curl your fingers into loose fists, keeping the fingers, not the knuckles, against the skin. Work your fists all over your partner’s body.
4. Using your fingertips, make small circling movements on the shoulders, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and the chest.
5. Form your hands into cup shapes. Using quick, light movements, move over the skin as if you were beating a drum.
6. Be inventive and let your partner’s responses guide you. You could use your whole body to massage him or her, or trail your hair over your partner’s body. Try scratching lightly (yes, lightly!).
7. After that, we leave it entirely up to you!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Notes for New Lovers

We’ve designed this massage for those who are already in a “consummated” relationship. However, it occurs to us that there are times when you’re going out with someone and would like to progress it to the next stage. Offering a massage could be the perfect way forwards!   If you feel our seductive scenario and oil blends might be a tad, well, obvious, then we’d suggest using Tension Tonic to relax your partner and our Resistance is Futile Massage Blend to keep it all ostensibly above board. However we would suggest you stick to wearing Aphrodite – all’s fair in love and war, right?

Resistance is Futile Massage Blend

This is, on the face of it, simply a nice relaxing massage blend – however we’ve added just a subtle sensual kick to it (your secret is safe with us!).

• 5 drops Clary Sage
• 6 drops Jasmine
• 8 drops Blood Orange
• 4 drops Ylang Ylang
• 7 drops Cedarwood
• 3 drops Ginger
• 30ml Jojoba
