You will want the room to be warm. Almost 80
degrees will allow a naked partner to be comfortable. ·
Make sure your hands are warm. You can accomplish
this by rubbing them together thoroughly or by taking a bath together. ·
Cleanliness. Although it isn't essential to be
clean before a massage, your partner will certainly be more relaxed if they are
clean. This massage will involve every area of the body include such places as
behind the ears and between the toes. Be sure your partner will be comfortable
by taking a bath. You might also make sure that your fingernails are clean and
trimmed neatly - not necessarily short, just neat. ·
Aroma. A nice scented candle will provide the
warmth, light, and scent that will set the mood. Women might prefer a lighter,
more floral scent (rose or jasmine might be appropriate). Men might prefer a
more rugged, woodsy scent like cedar or sandalwood ·
You will want to give a massage on a flat, firm
surface. A firm mattress is acceptable; using pillows on the floor is good too.
A massage table is best, but not everyone has one of these. ·
The massage receiver should prepare like they are
preparing for bed. They might want to remove their contacts, their makeup, and
have their teeth brushed. They are about to experience something special and
might want to sleep or make love (or both) afterward. It is best to keep in constant contact with your
partner. As you move to different areas of the body do so in a continuous
manner. Keeping contact helps the massage flow smoothly and increases intimacy.
