Give A Great Back Massage to Your Boyfriend or Girlfriend
Everyone loves a good back massage, but sometimes it's hard to know what to do and what techniques to use. Use these tips to give a great back massage to your boyfriend or girlfriend.
Instructions
1. Make sure he or she (I'm going to use she for the rest of the article) is unclothed on the top. If she is fully undressed, lay a light blanket over her to keep her warm.
2. If you are using lubricant, choose a relaxing scent like lavender or something that you know she likes. Make sure you warm the lubricant up in your hands before using it on someone!
3. Avoid bones! Pressing on a bone hurts alot, and can be bad for somebody, so don't do it. Feel free to massage next to the spine, but never on it. It is also important to avoid organs, but they are hard to get to in a back massage, so we don't need to worry about that.
4. Alternating types of massage strokes and motions is important. If you are going vertically one minute, try a circular motion the next. It is important not to let them get bored or too used to the motion. Instead of all ways going vertically, sometimes go side-to-side or focus on a certain muscle group for a bit.
5. Vary pressure! A light rubbing or finger massage might be good in some places, whereas a deeper touch might be needed in different areas. At the end, it is nice to lightly run your fingers all over the back.
6. Communication is important to the beginner masseuse. Ask where it hurts or whether things feel alright. Make sure you know how hard/soft she likes it and where.
7. Some surefire massage techniques: strong shoulder kneading, gentle lower back kneading using your thumbs or fists, going vertically opposite directions with your hands, probing finger massage in the upper back.
8. Massage gently into the neck and down almost onto the butt for an extra touch that your boyfriend or girlfriend will love!
