Giving an erotic massage is a very sensual experience between partners that allows you to explore and enjoy one another’s bodies. To achieve an erotic and sensual massage you need to make sure you choose the right massage oil and learn some basic techniques to create an unforgettable experience.

Choosing the Right Massage Product

Essential Oils: These are your aromatherapy oils that have a beautiful blend of scents to energize or relax the body. The Kama Sutra Massage Oils and Intimate Organic Oils are both excellent for an all over body massage, they glide easy and are long lasting and non sticky.

Warming and Edible Oils: These oils have a delicious flavor and scent that allows you to nibble on the body during and after a massage. The Making Love Oil is flavored, while the Oils of Love and Wickedly Sensual Oils are both edible and have an additional warming sensation on the skin.

Massage Creams and Bars: These two different methods of massage are beyond the basics and add a little fun to the mix. Massage Creams such as the Cake Body Butter, Massage Body Bar and Kama Sutra Soufflé Creams are edible and have a creamy but slippery consistency that will massage into the skin. These can be used for all over massages or for more intimate play massages. 

Body candles such as Jimmy Jane Afterglow and Suntouched are heated by the flame and then poured directly onto the body to become a warm massage oil. These are designed to burn at a lower temperature and have the added benefit of a heated sensation which can be very unique and arousing.

When choosing a massage product, be sure to pick one that will best suit the type of massage you are trying to accomplish or keep a small variety on hand so you can choose from fun and playful to serious all over body sensation. Click here to view all of Honey’s erotic massage products.

Basic Sensual Touch Techniques

Gliding: Lay your hands flat on your partner’s body and glide your hands smoothly across the skin, alternate with light and firm strokes and use a good amount of massage product. Gliding strokes are a great way to start off the massage by relaxing your partner and putting them at ease; it is also a good stroke for moving from one part of the body to another.

Kneading: On the fleshy parts of your partner’s body you can squeeze the muscles between your fingers and thumb. This stroke helps to relive tension and helps with relaxation.

Thumb Pressure: Using the pads of your thumbs to apply pressure or to make small circles allows for a deeper sensation to relive knots and tension. To increase the pressure use your body to lean into your thumbs rather then just pressing harder.

Raking: Resting your fingers against your lover’s body and using varying degrees of pressure rake your fingers along their body. It can be very sensual to use almost no pressure to just feel the sensation of fingers dragging along skin and then alternating with more pressure. 

With all of these strokes it is important to maintain body contact with your hands, when finishing a stroke with one hand be sure to start the next stroke with the alternate hand before lifting your previous hand off, this maintains body contact at all times for intimacy and creates sensuality.

Erotic Massage can be anything from the entire body to just the feet but it is all about your movement and enjoyment of the moment. Keep your movements slow and even always maintaining touch with the body. When providing an all over body massage it is often best to start with the back as it is the largest surface area and carries the most tension.

Moving smoothly from the back to buttocks is a natural progression then down along the legs and don’t forget the feet and toes. Making every part of the body relaxed and enjoying the moment is a key to a good massage. It is then easy to move back up the body to the shoulders and arms before having your partner turn over to continue the chest, breasts and pelvis. Don’t forget the front thighs and arms too, every part of your partner should be relaxed and responsive, because now you’re on to the fun stuff.

Genital massage is more relaxed and focused then oral sex alone. Using a good massage or lubricant oil you can relax the muscles and then focus more on one part of the body at a time.

G-spot and Vaginal Play: Using a combination of gentle and firm stroke massage everywhere, but where she really wants you to touch to tease and prolong sensation before actually placing your hands or mouth on her sweet spots. Using thumbs gently circle the labial lips until reaching the clitoris, when using your tongue maintain the long stroking motion that your hands are doing to help drive her crazy. For reaching the G-spot use two fingers curved towards her belly button and maintain strong firm strokes to drive her wild.

Penis Massage: To prolong the massage try to maintain and prolong the excitement, don’t rush to the finish line but use a combination of firm and soft strokes to excite him. Using a good amount of oil or lubricant you can twist and turn you grasp on him with ease to massage the length of penis, and don’t forget the testicles and perineum, both are excellent areas to massage. The perineum can provide external prostate stimulation when using a firmer stroke behind the testicles.

Anal Massage: For both partners you can massage the buttocks and anus for a fun adventurous erotic massage. Again; use a good amount of oil and or lubricant, you can use firm strong strokes to gently relax the outer rings before inserting any fingers. When insertion is achieved if doing a massage for him firmly curl your fingers against the prostate and maintain a consistent stroke, you will drive him wild and provide a happy ending he won’t forget anytime soon.

To help learn the techniques for giving an exciting and sensual erotic massage we recommend checking out some great books and DVD’s. The Pure Erotic Massage book, Erotic Massage Book and Joy of Erotic Massage DVD are all great resources to learn and expand your knowledge.

Recipes from “what to drink”.

Who wants to stop in the midst of a hot and heavy sexual rendezvous to slip on a condom?  Well, with the advancement of condom technology, it may now be part of the excitement.  Condoms have advanced enormously providing choice in material, thickness, size, lubrication, and sensation.

Read on to learn more about condoms and the pleasures it can provide when you find a great fit.

 Deciphering the size descriptors: Condoms that list as a “snugger” fit usually are smaller than the standard size condom but it may be shorter, not slimmer.  Condoms labeled large, magnum or XL are larger than the standard size but they may only be wider not longer so you may have to try a couple different ones to get the perfect fit for you. Different sized condoms allow you to fit the condom to you, which will allow for more pleasure and sensation. Too tight or too loose and the condom will not be as effective or enjoyable.

Lubricant: Almost all condoms come pre-lubricated unless otherwise stated but generally not enough for a full sexual session.  Do have your favorite water or silicone based lube close by (both water and silicone based lubricants are condom compatible) to keep things slippery for extended pleasure and play. Do not use oil-based products, as oil is not compatible with latex.  Some of Honey’s staff favorite lubricants are JO H20 Water based and Pjur Original Silicone.

Material: Most condoms are made from latex.  Latex is relatively inexpensive, but on the downside some people do have latex allergies. If you have sensitivity to latex there are now a variety of non-latex condoms on the market that are just as thin and very enjoyable to use.

Condoms:

Thin:           

- Contempo Bareback Condoms have been consistently rated as one of the most pleasurable to use. Light, strong, and thin.

- Consistently rated second to none!  Crown Skinless Condoms are Japanese made and the thinnest latex condoms available. They have a soft pink tint that makes them look invisible when on. Made famous by their consistent use in adult movies.

- Kimono Microthin Condoms are another Japanese engineered brand with special natural latex and considered the thinnest in North America.

- Beyond 7 is made with patented Sheerlon latex, which has a silkier, more natural feel, much like skin itself. 38% thinner than ordinary condoms. Made with advanced Japanese condom technology.

Larger Fit:

- Kimono Microthin Large Condoms are Japanese made, ultra thin and are 15% longer in length and have 25% more head room.

- Durexx XXL Condoms is the world’s longest condom!

- Lifestyles King Size is extra long and extra wide for king sized penises.

Added Sensation:

- Kimono Microthin Type E Condoms have sensi studs on the inside for him and ribs on the outside for her maximum pleasure.  With a form fit shape and 20% thinner for maximum sensation.

- Contempo Rough Rider is studded for her pleasure from tip to end.

- Contempo Erotica Vibra-Ribbed contain row after row of raised latex ribs that cover the entire length from tip to end.

- Pleasure Plus Condoms are ribbed in a small pouch on the underside of the penis. This pouch is ribbed inside and out for maximum sensation for both.

- Beyond 7 Studded Condom is made with patented Sheerlon latex, which has a silkier, more natural feel, much like skin itself. 38% thinner than ordinary condoms and features hundreds of raised bumps.  Made with advanced Japanese technology.

Non-Latex:

-  Avanti Bare Condoms are thin, lubricated and made from polyurethane which is a great alternative for those with latex allergies. This condom is compatible with oil based lubricants as an added bonus.

- Life Style Skyn Condoms are made from polyisoprene which is a great alternative for people with sensitivities and allergies to latex. This condom is the thinnest, silkiest, non-latex condom and stretches to accommodate different sizes. Feels close to nothing at all.  Lot of great feedback for this relatively new product as it transfer heat unlike latex condoms. 

- Trojan NaturaLamb Condoms are made of a natural lambskin membrane.  They are generally quite thick but they offer their own unique pleasure sensation.  Lambskin condoms do not provide protection against sexually transmitted diseases.  They only provide protection against unwanted pregnancies.

Good For Oral Sex:

- Durex Tropical Condoms come in assorted colors with exciting flavors and scents. Orange, Strawberry, Banana and Mint.  Another great option is to combine your favorite condom with a flavored lubricant for some fun oral pleasure.
