What could be more relaxing than a deep, sensual massage? What is a massage? To me it is a period of one-sided intimacy, a time of healing hands where through the massaging of the physical you can soothe the emotional, psychological and even spiritual.

Four things are essential for giving a successful massage.. atmosphere, mood, forethought, and of course, someone's body. Timing is important, the most natural time for a massage is after a bath or shower, in the evening, and sometimes in the morning. Forethought means planning, preparation, the choice of location is very important.. Dining room tables successful massages do not produce, best locations are the bedroom, or if you have one, on a sheepskin rug in front of an open fire. Here I'm going to suggest a massage in the bedroom, in the most comfortable, intimate space in the home. If the body is clean then so must the scene and the settings, clean towels, clean sheets, and no outside distractions - switch off the phone, cellphone, lock the door, switch off the TV. .. Light a few candles, ensure the room is warm, put on some relaxing or romantic music.... If you have a multi-disc type CD player select three CDs, use a computer playlist, and if you are using a single CD be sure to loop it. make sure you have oils, masssage oil, scented oil, olive oil even, cocoa butter, or baby oil.. A massage should be a festival for the senses, so ensure that something is scented, whether it be candles, oils, incense, but obviously, not anything which comes out of an aerosol.

Having prepared the scene, you need now to prepare the body and introduce her into a state of mind where she is feeling good about herself, via a warm bath or shower.. be there for her, prepare towels, assist her in bathing as a preliminary, help her dry herself.. It goes without saying that you, the masseur or masseuse, also need to be clean, seet smelling, soothing, and gentle. Adopt a soothing tone to your voice, deliver your words deliberately, but without suggesting you've been smoking the wacky backy.

Allow time for her to become comfortable, lying face down, and sit on the bed by her shoulder, talk to her, listen to her, ask her about her day, listen to her, ask her about her worries, fears, problems, reassure her, comfort her, relax her, give her time to prepare emotionally and psychologically for the massage, to relax herself, unwind, to let go.

Try to feel for that moment when she is ready. Then.... before your hands go anywhere near her body check that they are warm, rub them together if necessary, but ensure that they are warm. Nothing ruins the carefully developed mood and atmosphere of a massage than cold hands, nothing, unless it is rushing.. Nothing to rush over, you have all the time in the world.

Warm hands? Using the tips of your fingers lightly stroke her body from her neck down her back, trace a line down her spine down to her buttocks and then back up again, using gentle stroking movements. Once you get to her neck start to use your hands, gently kneading her skin with your hands using very light pressure down the back of her neck, over her shoulders, first left, then right, press gently on her spine with the base of your palm and twist gently your palm from left to right all the way down to her buttocks, and then using your hands gently knead her back up one side and down the other side. What you are doing here is still preparation, stimulating blood flow through her flesh and preparing her muscles for manipulation, whilst releasing all the fluidy stuff like endorphins which will loosen up her body tissue. This process must be repeated on each section of her body you work on, her arms, her buttocks, her legs, both back and front. I call this stage the pre-massage, or 'smoothening of the body', and skipping it may cause pain, sudden reactions, or even bruising. therefore it's a very important stage of a successful massage. It also helps her to acquaint herself with your touch.

Now we come to the massage proper, for which you will need to have the oil beside you, to be in a suitable position for shifting your body weight to and fro between yourself and her body (nothing ruins a good massage than masseur or masseuse losing their balance, falling over arse over tit, and massagee bursting out laughing), and where th pace slows right down. This time you are using pressure and massaging each area more intensely, so it is best to start on the opposite shoulder to where you are positioned and check with her that she feels comfortable with the intensity of the pressure. Use your body weight to apply pressure, not the strength in your arms and hands (which may cause bruising and possible tissue injury). If you can imagine a crucifix formed of her shoulders perpendicular with her neck and back work from shoulder to shoulder and then from the neck down her back - avoiding her spine. To massage her spine clench youre hands into fists, apply pressure vertically using your knuckles, and wtist them round slowly in 180 degree arcs from side to side. However before you do this place drops of oil on her skin immediately before you massage each area, using approximately a tablespoon measure for each six inch or so square you massage. Stroke the oil over her skin, and using the aforementioned techniques massage the oil into her skin until you can see no traces of oil on the surface of the skin. Apply more oil if you start to feel tension or friction in her skin or flesh.

As you return to each shoulder continue and massage her arms all the way down to her hands and massage her hands in your's, as if you are washing her hands. Work back up her arms, to her shoulders and move in gentler gliding and longer strokes down to her buttocks. When massaging buttocks pour the oil onto your hands as some people are ticklish in their 'crack' and apply more pressure to her buttocks, in fact much more. You can really go to town on her buttocks, massaging them with applied pressure to release all those endorphins and stimulate blood flow. Work the fingers down between those cheeks and knead and push and pull those orbs.

Remember to reduce the pressure as you move onto her legs and down to her feet, paying particular attention to her feet, her calves, and her thighs.. Turn her over onto her back and repeat the process down her front, starting with the pre-massage. Be gentle with her breasts, stroke them gently, applying the oil, and work from the outer edges towards her nipples. Also pay attention when applying pressure to her abdomen and stomach especially around her ribs.. Massage slowly around her lower abdomen, stroke her thighs, including the inside, teasing her genitals before massaging down her legs, her knees and her feet, and comig back work your way back up her thighs again teasing her genitals - don't be afraid of massaging that area (unless she asks you not to) and start again with the massage proper.

A successful massage takes time, intimacy and attention, and developing a good massage technique takes time and practise. Giving your domme a massage is mutually beneficial as it takes away all her tension, stress and anxieties and more intimately than high protocol it enables you as a submissive to focus purely on her and is good for developing that inner sense of discipline.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a qualified masseuse and am to be considered a talented masseuse trained via the Three By Method, By a Domme, By Myself, and By Opportunity. Advice from a qualified or professional masseuse or masseur may differ. Apart from dogs and cats no other animals were used in the development of this technique and none of the dogs and cats suffered any adverse effects and were returned safely to their owners.


This isn't the One True Way of massaging, there are other ways, tips and suggestions.

I'd love a massage after my ass was spanked. I can think of nothing better than his hands upon every nuance of my body after a good old fashion spanking.

Maybe I am really out of it, but you answer this way often enough....  what does it mean?
[sm=threadhijack.gif] Certainly don't mean too.   Sworry, I was just wanting to know[8D]




cjan -> RE: Giving a sensual massage (12/20/2008 4:47:07 AM)

I'm wondering, stella, what you mean by massage being a "period of one-sided intimacy". To me, it is decidedly two-sided intimacy. Listening, watching and being sensitive to her reactions is key, of course, and it is a dance of mostly non-verbal communication.

As you say, massage should involve all the senses. Of course, touch is foremost  and  shifting primary attention  to the sense of touch for the  massage giver  is most important.  By that I mean palpation.  Feel with your hands  where  muscles are tight  and  focus on how much pressure  works  to ease those muscles.  Start with less pressure and use more if needed. Too much pressure is counter-productive. Listen for the sighs and moans of pleasure indicating that what you are doing is being well received. Being fully present is, imo, essential to giving a good massage.

Also, I agree with your advice to use body weight, rather than hand strength. It feels much better to the receiver and is easier on the giver. It also allows a smaller person to give a satisfying "deep" massage to areas that need it. To that end, I suggest that a massage table is THE essential piece of equipment for doing massage. It is narrow so that the entire body can  be massaged without awkward reaching and is suited to using the givers body weight, rather than hand strength.  It's also much easier on the giver's body.  A decent table is not expensive and a used one can often be found  at a good price.

Massage is a wonderful way to give service and it benefits both the giver and receiver.

i agree, CJan. Any time i have given my Dom a massage it was sensual for both of us.




royalgoodness -> RE: Giving a sensual massage (12/20/2008 7:40:09 AM)

There is one other thing that can ruin a carefully planned out massage as cold hands.  Cold oil.  I used a oil warmer to keep the oil warm and since I bathed Her all the time anyways I hid the Oil warmer so She didn't know when it was going to happen.  It just kinda evoles into the right time for a massage.  Her comments to me  was:  "I never need to ask for a massage, you always seem to know when I need one."




stella41b -> RE: Giving a sensual massage (12/20/2008 7:55:55 AM)

apologies cjan and everyone else...,.not sure why I thought it was one-sided either. Must ahve been the tea I was drinking or something..,.

Thank you for pointing that out... Apologies everyone else.

MissEnchanted -> RE: Giving a sensual massage (12/20/2008 8:22:56 AM)

I am a trained massage therapist and it was one of the best things I ever did!

I agree with cjan about the necessity of having a massage table. I have one that I call "My Cadillac" as it is easy to carry, is well-padded and is adjustable. I use flannel sheets because they are the softest, and the flannel does not move or slip. They also absorb some of the lotion so the table remains clean. I use a combination of oil and unscented massage lotion that I mix together and have small bottles of this within easy reach.

For me massage therapy is like a sensuous dance. Using your full body and always lining your body up so that you are not overusing your hand muscles, positioning so that your body weight will be used and you put your whole body behind the motions. I move to music when I do a massage. That is essential for me to work my magic. Setting the space up with soft lighting, mood music, phones turned off, and depending on the weather-usually all doors and windows closed. It is really fun though to do outdoor massage when it is super warm outside with a soft breeze blowing.

The connection of my hands to my willing victim is never-ending, and that way a constant flow of connection is maintained. Your hands tell the story and this is by listening carefully with your hands, your mind and your own body-to what their body tells you. I do a 112 step massage so that every inch is covered. I get creative along the way and use at least 4 different massage techniques depending on what is happening with the body below me.

The main point is to move muscle away from bone, staying away from the spine, moving those fingers along the ridge of muscles and actually getting underneath, breaking up stuck tissues, tight muscles and getting that blood flowing.

I always psyche myself up before to be open to exactly what is needed to help heal my partner. When I start I let them talk a little as it always seems a little venting is needed on their part. Then I ask them to stop talking and let them know their muscles will tighten as they try to talk, especially their upper back and neck-which is where 70%  of normal tension occurs. I relax my mind and move in ways that create a feeling of flow and warm connection.

One tip: You always want to feel a little bit  'too warm' while you are giving someone a massage. Your willing victim will be cooling down as they relax and in order for them to remain warm enough, you have to be a tad over-warm. This way their muscles will not react to colder temps with tightening up. Sometimes I drape a light cotton blanket over them and flip that with the sheet as I move around their body.

If you occasionally do massage on a lunch break or before your partner has to be active- vigorous massage is the key. Petrissage done quickly is invigorating, rather than a full melt down of the body and mind.

I think the four most valuable skills any sub can have under their belt besides a good attitude are:
1) Pussy worshipping skills (another thread and I owe some info to sea which is long overdue)
2) Massage training
3) Cooking -healthy and delicious
4) Pedicures with a foot jacuzzi : The loufa pads are important!  [:D]

Lotions and oil:
Prossage Heat Soft Tissue Therapy oil (awesome!)
Lotions: Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion Unscented http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=72894&catid=10394
You can pay less at health food stores.

For everyday softening for even the driest skin, and smells absolutely delicious, worth the price:

Swisa Dead Sea Body Butter:  Bliss

I also have people shower first and use soft soap with a scrubber that has a long handle to get the skin exfoliated first.  You'd be amazed at how much skin can exfoliate during a good massage. [:'(]  I have had to leave the table before to wash my hands ...O-ick!

The best is having a jacuzzi to bubble in for 10 minutes before the massage. That can take 30 minutes off the time needed to get your partner into a limp noodle state. If you hop in the jacuzzi with them and share a glass of wine, all the better!

Another fun thing to do is dip their hands and feet into warm wax. The wax provides super softening and smoothing action and helps with Arthritis and joint pain:

Good gift ideas for X'mas. Off to email a sub. [;)]






cjan -> RE: Giving a sensual massage (12/20/2008 11:50:57 AM)

Oh, and since the topic is a sensual massage, don't forget the delicious teasing.

MissEnchanted brought to mind some skills a sub " should have under their belt ". Some friends and I were discussing this and have talked about offering some workshops along these lines. Some ideas were massage, of course,  reflexology or just a good foot massage/pedicure ,  Japanese tea service or  other formal tea service  and formal service at  a dinner party.

The point being that a sub may want to cultivate skills that bring pleasure and relaxation into the service of the dominant in order to create peace, harmony and a refuge from life's stressors. A switch friend and I have had some fun creating what she calls a "submissive massage". It has much to do with intention and attitude, of course, expressed  through touch  and manner. It's very erotic . 

Through the thoughtful use of music, scent, ambience and intention, it's possible to create an experience in the home that is  at least equal to a good spa experience.

Oh, yes, yes yes yes!  What an excellent Christmas present!  I've already sent this thread link out, as a "suggestion"....hee hee

When my dad was studying Tai Chi and girl had the chance to learn how to defend my self. Girl was not long in it long enough to defend my self properly, instead it was Chi Kung. Learning about the flow lines of chi within the body, acupressure and generally learning to be aware of other people's body.
Knowing the proper oils and ointments can be crucial in the healing of another individual's body. Breathing is important too for the one giving the massage since you do not want to be aroused, only arouse the one receiving if that is the intent.
A sensual massage enables release but also increases potency, sensitizes the pleasure centers of the recipient.
But you know this already.
Sensual massage can also occur while sharing the bathing experience providing a large enough bath is available.
A basement with a small moon pool, is nice also, with just an inch or two of water and the neck placed in such a way so that the flow from head to toes is not disrupted.
Girl is quite sure we all have different techniques that come from different origins.
The body is a curious machine that requires constant learning to understand what the body is capable of doing.

To hell with "one sided": it was a wonderful post, as Mr Swim said.  I shan't forget this bit most of all, because it really hit the spot for me:

A successful massage takes time, intimacy and attention, and developing a good massage technique takes time and practise. Giving your domme a massage is mutually beneficial as it takes away all her tension, stress and anxieties and more intimately than high protocol it enables you as a submissive to focus purely on her and is good for developing that inner sense of discipline.
 





thetammyjo -> RE: Giving a sensual massage (12/21/2008 8:48:15 AM)

Excellent suggestions on massage, stella41b. All I would add is empathy to the list -- difference between my slave and husband is not technique or planning or mood or the other things but how well they can read my body and pay attention to it.




cjan -> RE: Giving a sensual massage (12/21/2008 10:23:51 AM)

It's only "one-sided" if you don't turn her/him over. 




MissEnchanted -> RE: Giving a sensual massage (12/21/2008 1:15:14 PM)

cjan,

Your idea is a great one and there have been several of us here who planned to do the same thing. Then life got in the way... [8D]

Stella: Thanks for posting about massage. It is a topic near and dear to my heart!
