Q&A for How to Give a Sensual Massage

Set up your massage space with soft, warm lighting, and play soft, ambient music in the background. You can also diffuse some relaxing essential oils, like bergamot, lavender, chamomile, or frankincense. In general, try to set everything up so your partner feels really cozy.

Sensual massages can also be erotic massages (sometimes called Tantric Massages) and arousal can be a benefit. This can sometimes lead to enhanced intimacy and physical release. With a partner, this can move beyond arousal and into sex but for a true Tantric experience, it is better to flow with the sensations.

A regular message is typically given by a massage therapist and it's usually used to ease tension and stress. A sensual massage is usually given by a partner, it's slower, more romantic, and intimate.

Asking your partner for an erotic massage shouldn't upset them unless you're rude about it. Simply sit down with your partner, and ask, "Would you be open to giving me an erotic massage?" The only problem is that they might be uncomfortable giving an erotic massage, so if they decline your request, don't push it.
