Giving and Receiving Erotic Massage
The General Approach this Guide Takes
This guide teaches how to give and
receive erotic massage. It discusses how to help your partner relax, and
discusses how to help your partner experience extended or multiple orgasms as
part of your massage. A common arrangement is for one partner to receive a
massage first, and then to return the favor, but of course how you choose to
arrange this is up to you and your partner.
It's best to perform erotic massage while your partner is lying on a massage
table of some kind. After preparing your space to be warm and pleasing, you can
start with a sensual and relaxing general massage before shifting the focus to
your partner's sex centers. The idea is to bring your partner to high levels of
arousal, and keep him or her there for a while. For men, this is best done
through verbal or non-verbal communication which allows stimulation to be slowed
down, changed, or stopped before ejaculation becomes inevitable (stimulation
then continues in a few moments, after the urgency fades). For women, this is
best done by using G-Spot and/or clitoral massage to bring her to multiple
orgasms, which naturally tend to take place over an extended period of time.
Erotic massage can work equally well for same-sex as for opposite-sex
partners. Additionally, as having someone pleasure you with their hands doesn't
tend to bring up the same set of cultural fears and judgments that oral sex or
intercourse sometimes do, it sometimes works well even when your partner isn't
of a gender you are normally attracted to.
Set and Setting
Taking the time to create a sensual and appealing
environment for your erotic massage shows that you care about your partner and
value pleasure. Start by turning off the phones. You may wish to put a "Do Not
Disturb" sign on the door, illuminate the room with either candles or soft
indirect lamps, burn incense, and turn up the heat to where one would be
comfortable lying down naked. Keep your lubricants, oils, and gloves (if needed
or desired) within easy reach, and cover the massage table with a blanket and
place a clean sheet over this blanket. You can let the sides of the blanket and
sheet drape over the sides of the table so that they may be brought up to cover
the receiving partner (keeping him or her warm) after the massage is finished.
Pieces of (possibly fake) fur or feathers can be used for additional sensual
tantalization, and an eye pillow or blindfold can be helpful in blocking out any
unwanted light for your partner.
Putting a CD (or prerecorded tape) of your favorite music on repeat
play is a good idea. Some people are more comfortable with a pillow or rolled
bath towel underneath their knees and/or head (when lying face up) or their
ankles (when lying face down), and some women will be more comfortable with a
pillow underneath their hips; if this is your first massage with your partner
you might want to experiment a little or ask him or her.
If you're going to be giving the massage, take a look at your fingernails and
clip them if necessary.
Lubrication
One similarity between men and women is that some sort of
lubricant needs to be used when massaging their genitals: this will make the
experience more pleasurable and prevent sore spots from developing. One
difference between men and women is that one may use oil-based, water-based, or
silicone-based lubricants on men, while one should use only water-based
lubricants on women to avoid encouraging vaginal infections. For genital massage
on men, or for massage elsewhere on a man or woman's body, you can purchase
special massage oils at massage supply shops or else just use a light vegetable
oil (such as Safflower, Sunflower, or grapeseed) from the supermarket.
Lubricants and oils should be reapplied as necessary, so it's good to keep them
handy.
It's very convenient to have flip-top squeeze bottles for lubes and oils, and
one of those massage oil "belts" that massage supply shops sell. Since many of
these belts have two pockets, you could use one for lube and the other for
massage oil. Be sure lubes and oils are warm before putting them on someone; if
you wish you can run hot tap water over your flip-top bottles for a few minutes
before using them, or maybe you could just keep the plastic bottles in a bowl of
warm water instead of using a belt. It's also a good idea to put lubricants in
your hand before applying them so you have a chance to rub your hands together
to warm them if necessary. Oh, and one final word of advice: please be sure any
water-based lube you may be using DOESN'T contain Nonoxynol-9. In this context
Nonoxynol-9 is unlikely to do anything but irritate.
Good Communication
During both the relaxation and genital phases of your
erotic massage it's important for the person on the table to always feel
comfortable making requests and comments. He or she should feel free to mention
anything that is getting in the way of his or her comfort and pleasure. Requests
to go to the bathroom, for touch to be harder or lighter, to take a break or
stop, for the heat to be turned up, etc., are all signs that levels of
communication and trust are high. They are also signs that the receiving partner
is paying attention to his or her feelings, which is a key to experiencing
greater and greater pleasure.
Some people find that sex and/or pleasure can bring up difficult emotional
issues for them. When someone is crying, or in a similarly distressed emotional
state, it's usually best to just be there for that person and reassure them that
it's OK to cry (possibly while holding them) rather than trying to rationally
discuss what is going on or engage in problem-solving. Asking them what they
need rather than assuming too much is also a good idea.
I hope it goes without saying that you both should be in agreement that your
relationship includes the possibility of sexual intimacy before going ahead with
an erotic massage. Situations where the giving partner tries to shift a
relaxation massage into an erotic realm for the first time, but the receiving
partner was expecting or wanting only relaxation massage or doesn't feel your
friendship should include sex, can be uncomfortable and embarassing at the
least. It's worth it to somehow bring this topic up beforehand with a new
partner, even if you have to blush a little when telling him or her what you
think it would be fun to do with them.
Relaxing Your Partner's Body
Start by connecting with your partner.
There may be specific ways you and your partner prefer to do this. If not, try
kind words, soft gazing into each other's eyes, synchronized breathing, and/or
caressing each others' faces or hands.
When both of you are ready, have your partner lie face down, naked, on the
massage table. Start by quieting and focusing your mind while resting your hands
on the receiving partner's upper and lower back. Then, perform a relaxing
massage on the back, legs, and feet. Basic principles of relaxing massage
include keeping your hands in contact with your partner, taking your time, being
rhythmic yet sensitive, and proceeding from long gliding strokes to deeper ones.
When giving a massage be sure to use good body mechanics: use your body weight
rather than arm strength for deep strokes, during gliding strokes keep your
knees slightly bent and fluid, and don't lean over the table.
After relaxing your partner's back, legs, and feet, have him or her turn
over. Massage the chest, arms, and hands. Then glide down to the legs. It can
feel good to brush the genitals when going down to the legs. After finishing the
fronts of the legs and feet, glide back up and slowly brush over the genitals,
teasing them. This teasing process can be drawn out by brushing the inner thighs
near the genitals, very lightly touching the pubic region, etc. At this point
erotic energy is often building, making it a natural time to start shifting the
focus to more explicitly sexual activities.
Especially if this is your first massage with this partner, it's a good idea
to look into your partner's eyes while cradling his or her genitals, and somehow
ask his or her permission to go further. The rest of the massage will focus on
the genitals, with periodic sweeps up and down the body to spread, balance, and
integrate the sensations. One of the skills that comes with practice is being
able to read the energy and arousal levels of your partner, and smoothly and
gradually ramp up from relaxing massage to more arousing and sexual massage.
Pleasuring Your Partner's Sex Centers
Male
Introduction
The basic principle of male genital massage is that you
should slow down, stop, or change what you are doing just before ejaculation
becomes inevitable. The best way to accomplish this is for the man to give a
signal just before this point is reached. Verbal cues, raising a hand, pulling
away slightly, or even subtle body language cues can all work well. This
repeated "peaking" process can sometimes help men learn to have multiple orgasms
without ejaculating, and can also be practiced during solo masturbation.
Although delaying ejaculation during the course of the massage is desirable from
the perspective of maximizing pleasure, many partners do like to finish the
massage with one. Ejaculation provides a considerable spark of pleasure, but can
leave men too fatigued to enjoy the rest of the evening or do a good job
massaging their partner; opposite-sex partners who like to finish male genital
massage with ejaculation should have the woman receive her massage first.
It's also fun to encourage your partner with hot talk (possibly weaving
together a verbal fantasy based on your partner's desires). Letting your partner
know verbally and non-verbally that you're actively enjoying his pleasure can be
a powerful aphrodisiac.
As an aside, it should be noted that a nice feature of male genital massage
is that an erection is not required for it to feel good; some massage strokes
actually feel BETTER when the penis is soft.
Suggested Genital Massage Strokes
There are many different massage
strokes that feel good on male genitals. Unless he indicates otherwise, it's
usually safe to assume that firm and consistent stroking will feel best. I'm
going to present a few favorite strokes below, but you can make up your own,
refer to Appendix A, or examine the resources in this guide's "Learning More
about Massage" section to learn dozens of additional strokes. One approach that
some people favor is selecting two favorite strokes, and for a period of time
alternating between them every once in a while.
"Healing Stroke" - With the penis resting on the belly, cup the balls
with one hand. The heel of the palm of the other hand glides up and down the
underside of the penis all the way to the tip.
"Anvil Stroke" - Bring one hand down, letting it stroke the penis from
the top all the way to the bottom. When it hits the bottom, release it.
Meanwhile bring your other hand to the top of the penis and repeat the stroke,
creating an alternating motion. (internet Alt.Sex FAQ)
"Climbing the Mountain" - Take the penis in one hand and gently,
sensuously caress it for about ten seconds, then give it one quick up-and-down
stroke. Repeat the sensuous caressing for about ten seconds (perhaps using slow
up-and-down strokes), and then give the penis two quick up-and-down strokes.
Repeat the caressing, then give three quick strokes, etc. Continue until
ejaculation approaches inevitability.
Cocooning
It's up to the two of you whether to finish with an
ejaculation. If you do, then pleasuring can continue all the way through
ejaculation and until your partner asks you to stop. At the end of the massage
(whether or not there is an ejaculation), the sheet/blanket combination can be
folded up over the person on the table to provide a warm cocoon. This can be a
time of profound peace and contentment together.
Female
Introduction
Female sexual response is often significantly different
from male sexual response, in the following ways:
- Female arousal tends to be more closely tied to emotional states, and
feelings of warmth towards her partner.
- Many women can come in two distinctly different ways: through G-Spot
stimulation and through clitoral stimulation. Many women characterize the
clitoral orgasms as "sharper" and the G-Spot orgasms as "deeper".
- Women often vary considerably in what type of sexual stimulation they
like, and how they like it done.
- Female arousal usually takes longer to build, but can often last longer
and be more intense than that which men commonly experience.
- Women can often have multiple orgasms, if stimulation continues following
the first (especially with G-Spot stimulation).
It's because of #5
that the basic approach to erotic massage differs between women and men. Since
women can sometimes enjoy stimulation all the way through one orgasm and into
the next, there is little or no need for them to hold back in any way. Having
orgasms in a series can cause arousal levels to float for a long time at a very
high level.
Suggested Types of Stimulation
Women vary in their tastes concerning
G-Spot and clitoral stimulation, so you need to be attentive and listen. A
common preference is for their partners to begin with gentle rubbing over the
entire vulva, to follow this with clitoral stimulation, and to finish with
G-Spot stimulation or G-Spot AND clitoral stimulation. Please be aware that
neither clitoral stimulation nor any sort of vaginal penetration usually feels
good unless a woman is already in a fairly high state of arousal. When
performing genital massage on women one often has a "free hand" which may be
used to glide over the rest of her body, tease her nipples, massage her
perineum, caress her face, form "connections" with other parts of her body (by
stimulating some other part of her body at the same time as you are pleasuring
her genitals), etc.
Although the genital massage styles presented below are some of the most
commonly favored among women, there are many more. Refer to Appendix B or
examine the resources in this guide's "Learning More" section for more ideas.
"Clitoral" - When massaging her clitoris, learn what part of it feels
best to her. Going in circles around it softly and rhythmically with a
lubricated finger is a good way to proceed, at least until you get more specific
feedback or until you uncover something that obviously feels better. Once you
find something that feels great, consistency with it is often the key to further
pleasure. Some women find that clitoral orgasms feel better if their vaginas are
pleasantly filled: more fingers or an appropriately-sized dildo are good ways to
accomplish this, though penetration of any kind usually doesn't feel good to
someone who isn't aroused, so it probably isn't what she would want you to start
right out with.
"G-Spot"
- The G-Spot is an area on the forward waall of the vagina, just behind the pubic
bone about two inches in. A woman can often tell you when you've found her
G-Spot, and it often feels more "ridged" than the surrounding tissue. Pressing
into it can be intensely pleasurable, but may cause a sensation of needing to
urinate. Female ejaculation is sometimes a result of G-Spot stimulation; female
ejaculate is NOT urine, but IS expelled through the urethra. One easy way to
stimulate the G-Spot is with your (lubricated) first and second fingers together
(possibly starting with just your first finger). Make rhythmic gestures inside
the vagina that look like the signal to "come here". Alternatively, one can rub
the G-Spot in a circular fashion. Generally, it's the pads of your fingers which
are pressing into her G-Spot. Another approach is to rotate your fingers inside
her vaginal barrel with even pressure against all areas of it. Be aware that the
shape of the vagina changes as a woman's arousal level increases. You'll
probably notice the inner portion ballooning outwards during extreme arousal,
which means that your fingers will need to rotate a little farther from center
in order to maintain the same pressure on the vaginal walls. G-spot stimulation
usually only feels good when the woman is aroused.
"Vibrator" - Vibrators generally work best on or near the clitoris. If
the vibration is too intense, switch to a lower speed or put a cloth between the
vibrator and her clitoris. It's OK to let your partner hold the vibrator. It's
also fun for a vibrator to be used clitorally at the same time vaginal
penetration is being performed. The most versatile vibrators are the standard
plug-in models such as the Hitachi Magic Wand and the Wahl. Sex supply shops
such as Good Vibrations and Toys in Babeland sell these vibrators, along with various
attachments for specific kinds of stimulation.
"Verbal and Non-Verbal Encouragement" - It's helpful to encourage your
partner with hot talk (possibly weaving together a verbal fantasy based on your
partner's desires). Sexy complements, eye contact, etc. are also nice additions.
Many sexual difficulties (especially for women, it seems) stem from worries:
worrying that her partner is getting tired of pleasuring her, that she isn't
coming fast enough, etc. Letting your receiving partner know verbally and
non-verbally that you're actively enjoying giving her pleasure can be a powerful
aphrodisiac for her.
Cocooning
It's nice to fold the sheet/blanket combination over your
partner when you two are finished. This can be a time of profound peace and
contentment together.
Conscious Breathing
Regular, conscious breathing is a powerful way to
enhance both relaxation massage and erotic massage. If the receiving partner
forgets to breathe, the massaging partner can remind him or her by breathing
rhythmically and audibly. Some partners find that synchronizing the breathing
between the two of them leads to wonderful sensations. Just don't
hyperventilate...
Group Massage Gatherings
These can be put on with three or more
participants. Participants divide up into groups of three or four, with one
massage table per group. Each person in each group gets a certain amount of time
on their table, and before massage begins this person tells the other people at
his or her table what he or she would like, and what his or her limits are. This
can be a lot of fun, and is a great way to practice asking for what you want
sexually (a habit which has the power to enhance your pleasure in and of
itself). It's good to start and end these by having everyone get in a circle,
introduce themselves (if necessary), and "check in" (i.e. say something about
where they're at, what they would like to get out of the day, what they liked
about the day, etc.). It's also helpful to have little snacks and water for
people to eat and drink. Since you may end up giving three or four different
people massages during an event like this, it's fairly common for the host
and/or hostess to ask everyone to use gloves for all genital massage, and
possibly for everyone to wash their hands before the next person gets on the
table.
For small gatherings (6-8 people) of participants who all know each other,
people can just gravitate towards whatever table and group they want when it's
time to start; for larger events or events where there will be a lot of
beginners, it's often helpful for the host or hostess to assign people to tables
so things stay balanced, nobody's feelings get hurt, and so there aren't any
tables composed entirely of novices. It's usually a good idea to put someone in
charge of bringing supplies to the event (latex gloves, massage oil in little
bottles, lube, towels, etc.), and (when lots of new folks are involved) for the
host or hostess to stay at least marginally aware of what is going on so things
stay comfortable for everyone.
These events usually work very easily for men-only or women-only groups, and
tend to work best for mixed-gender groups when at least rough gender balance is
maintained and there are at least a few experienced men and women in attendance.
Finishing with Intercourse
Some partners (especially opposite-sex
couples) like to finish with intercourse rather than the blanket-wrapping I've
described. Since most massage tables are sturdy enough to support two people,
near the end of the massage one partner can climb on top the other and they can
both fuck themselves to what are often very powerful orgasms. Thus, they can
finish locked in each others' embrace (although even without intercourse the
standing partner can lean over and embrace the receiving partner's upper body,
or else just gently rest his or her hands on the receiving partner).
Despite what mainstream pornography tends to portray, women don't usually
have orgasms from intercourse alone. However, a woman is MUCH more likely to
experience orgasm during intercourse if she has had one or more orgasms
(especially of the G-Spot variety) before intercourse commences. Popular
positions for male-female intercourse include missionary and woman-on-top (which
allow face-to-face intimacy) and "doggie style" (which allows the woman to
easily rub her clitoris while being penetrated).
The "Big Draw"
This technique for completing a massage was developed by
the Body Electric School. In the minutes preceding it the massage work should be
becoming more and more energetic, building and building. At a certain point
(counted down to verbally, so both partners know when it's coming) massage and
any other touch ceases, the person on the table takes seven very deep breaths,
and while holding the seventh breath clenches every muscle in his or her body
and rolls his or her eyes back in his or her head (possibly assuming a tense
position with torso and legs a bit off the table, as in a "crunch") for about 10
seconds. He or she then completely relaxes, resumes regular breathing, and the
standing person gently folds the sheets/blanket over his or her body. For
maximum effect the music
should be quite "cosmic" at this point, and the person performing the massage
shouldn't touch the person on the table (who has his or her eyes closed, or who
has a blindfold on) for at least five minutes or until the person on the table
requests otherwise. This practice can provoke profound emotional release, and
often hallucinations. Afterwards, the standing partner opens the cocooned
sheets, gently towels off any oil, helps his or her partner to sit up, and then
both partners either keep silence or say what is in their heart. It's fun to
follow the Big Draw with a hot tub or a warm bath.
It's helpful to use a pre-arranged and timed music tape. Ideally, there
should be five seconds of silence immediately following the Big Draw, and
possibly during it. Music should have been building to that point, and should
resume with something really beautiful after the silence following the Big Draw
("Gabriel's Oboe" from The
Mission soundtrack, or "With This Love" from Peter Gabriel's Passion
soundtrack, for example).
Incorporating PC Muscle Contractions ("Kegels")
Contractions of the PC
(pubococcygeus) muscle are associated with increased sexual pleasure for both
men and women. This muscle may be identified by noticing what muscles you use to
stop the flow of urine when you are urinating (without moving your torso or
legs); it's the same one. The PC muscle can be exercised by contracting and
releasing it; one approach is to rhythmically contract when inhaling and relax
when exhaling.
Generally, the stronger the PC muscle is, the more intense one's orgasms can
be. The PC muscle can also be repeatedly contracted and relaxed at various times
during sex (such as during G-Spot stimulation, or during male ejaculation) to
increase pleasure. Men can use the PC muscle to prevent ejaculation; this is
done by holding the breath while either strongly bearing down ("pushing out") or
tightly squeezing ("holding in") using the pelvic muscles.
Prostate Stimulation
An advanced technique in male genital massage is to
stimulate the man's prostate gland at the same time one is stimulating the
penis. This can be done with a finger an inch or two inside his anus, pressing
on the dome shape found in the direction of the penis. When stimulating the
prostate, you should wear latex gloves, have short fingernails (or else pack
cotton balls around your fingernails and then put gloves on), and use lots of
lube. Part of what some beginners find novel about anal penetration is that it
makes one feel as if one has to go to the bathroom. By going to the bathroom
pretty thoroughly before beginning play, one may have an easier time not
interpreting this new sensation in the old context. Pressing on the prostate gland
during ejaculation, or when a man is close to ejaculation, can feel wonderful.
It is also possible for some men to have ejaculatory orgasms through prostate
stimulation alone.
Simultaneous Pleasuring
Once each partner has sufficient experience with
his or her own sexual response, they may wish to try mutual stimulation. This is
best done on a bed, rather than on a massage table. Simply lie down facing each
other, heads close together, and pleasure each other with your hands. Again, for
men slightly pulling away or giving some other cue when ejaculation is imminent
will allow play to continue.
Using the "Extra Hand"
Some male genital massage strokes require only
one hand. Here are some suggestions for things you can do with the "extra hand":
- Massage the legs or chest.
- Tease the nipples or other erogenous zones (note: "connections" can be
made between erotic arousal and almost any part of the body, by linking
stimulation of the genitals with stimulation of this area).
- Rub the perineum, possibly with an oiled fist or several fingers. For some
men, this may stimulate the prostate gland.
- Wrap an index finger and thumb around the penis between the balls and the
body. Contract slightly to form a living cock ring. Alternatively, this can be
done between the balls and the shaft, rather than between the balls and the
body.
- Gently tug on the hairs covering the testicles.
- Cup or tickle the testicles.
Selected and Paraphrased from a Body Electric for Men Handout
- COCKUPRESSURE
With one hand pull the shaft's skin toward the base and
wrap the fingers of this hand around the base to act as a living cock ring.
Using the other hand, rhythmically pick various points along the shaft of the
penis and squeeze opposite sides of the penile shaft at these points,
releasing pressure either immediately or after only a brief period of time.
- FIRE
Rub the penis between both palms, as if rubbing two sticks
together to create fire. Be sure to use plenty of oil.
- HAIRY PALM SUNDAY
Hold the penis in one hand with the head sticking up.
Using the well-oiled palm of your other hand, slowly and sensitively massage
the head of the penis. Reverse directions every once in a while.
- HEALING STROKE
With the penis resting on the belly, the hand closest to
the feet cups the balls. The heel of the palm of the other hand glides up and
down the underside of the penis.
- TWIST AND SHOUT
Pull the skin of the penis toward the base with one
hand. With the other hand corkscrew the penis. This can be done with the thumb
and first finger or with the whole palm.
Selected and Paraphrased From the Internet Alt.Sex FAQ
- ANVIL STROKE
Bring one hand down, letting it stroke the penis from the
top all the way to the bottom. When it hits the bottom, release it. Meanwhile,
bring your other hand to the top of the penis and repeat. See also: Milker and
Perpetual Penetration.
- BOOKENDS
Place both of your hands side by side against his shaft like a
pair of bookends. Now push hard against his penis. Then lift your hands up and
down. Continue in this manner for a while.
- DOORKNOB
Turn the head of his penis like you're trying to open a
doorknob coated with grease. Now try turning the other way. Repeat. This
stroke is sometimes improved by using the other hand to stretch the skin of
the penis toward the base.
- DOUBLE WHAMMY
Bring both well-lubricated hands down on his shaft. Some
cocks are so big they require both hands; if your partner's doesn't, then use
the other hand to caress and lightly flutter his balls, or tighten around the
base of his shaft. If both hands fit along the length of the shaft then move
them together, up and down, in the typical pumping motion. Pretend you're
holding a baseball bat and are about to score a grand slam. You can also vary
the directions of your hands: one up, one down at the same time.
- MILKER
Opposite of the Anvil: hands alternate "milking" up the penis,
starting at the base and working all the way up past the tip.
- PERPETUAL PENETRATION
Like the Anvil, but instead of just grabbing the
penis at the top let his penis "penetrate" into your fist on each stroke.
Before the head of his penis pops out of your hand, bring the other hand up
for the next penetration. This way it seems to him like he is penetrating
deeper and deeper into an infinite vagina. Make sure you keep the penetration
continuous for best results. Try faster or slower to taste.
- RING
Make a ring with your thumb and forefinger and pump up and down
with it. When you get to the top close the ring. Then make him squeeze his way
in as you slide back down to the bottom.
- SHAFT
Stroke only his shaft, ignoring his head. You will notice his
head swelling and turning red. When it's bright red, use Doorknob, Hairy Palm
Sunday, or Perpetual Penetration.
- SHUTTLE COCK
Take the penis in both hands, fingers lightly touching the
sides of the shaft. In order to visualize the position, imagine yourself
holding a clarinet. Now flick the penis back and forth between your two hands
by holding onto the loose skin of the shaft. Do this stroke for a while to
allow tension to build.
- SPOT PINCH
Lightly and slowly run a finger up the underside of his
cock. Ask him to tell you where the most sensitive spot is. Pinch it, squeeze
it, nibble it, tease it. This is a good spot to pinch (a la Cockupressure) to
turn a soft cock rock solid.
- LABIAL MASSAGE
"Place a well-oiled (or lubed) hand over her labia,
fingers pointing towards her anus. Pull up toward the navel and alternate
hands. Explore the inner and outer lips with your fingers. Pull gently on one
and then the other. Rub the outer lips gently between your forefinger and
thumb, then the inner lips."
- A-ONE AND A-TWO AND A-THREE
"Try inserting your first two fingers into
her, then arch your thumb back 'hitch-hiker' style and thrust in until your
thumb rests against her clitoris. You can use a variety of thrusting and
twisting motions in this position. You can also vibrate your entire hand."
- CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR
"If your partner has a particular spot that they
like to have licked or caressed, try doing so very close to but not
quite on that spot - except perhaps occasionally. This trick will make
them take longer to reach their orgasm, but they will likely have a much
stronger, more powerful orgasm when it finally does happen. As a variant, you
can do the 'not quite on target' until they get close to coming, then switch
to the target itself, thus earning their gratitude."
- PUSH HERE TO START
"Gently insert one finger deeply into her vagina
and, when she's ready, insert a second. Then take your thumb and place it
against her anus. Don't insert it. Instead, press there while you move your
fingers."
- TAP DANCING
"Place the palm of your hand on her mons (the mound where
her pubic hair is), and rest your fingers lightly on her vaginal lips. Rest
your thumb on her opposite thigh. Lightly but firmly press your palm onto her
mons and begin to move your hand in a tiny circular motion. You palm
should not slide too much over her skin during this process. Instead, her skin
should move underneath it. Repeat this process until you have done ten
circles. You then raise your fingers and lightly tap her vaginal lips about
once a second until you have given her ten taps. Please note that these are
light taps, not spanks. They shouldn't hurt. After giving the taps, rest your
hand for five to ten seconds. Then repeat the circles, then repeat the taps,
then rest again, then repeat the circles..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- CERVIX CLOCK
"A woman's cervix can usually be found in the upper rear
part of her vagina. The cervix feels like a little dome of tissue, and may
also have a small cleft in the middle, like your chin. Carefully stimulate the
area surrounding the cervix. Some women may enjoy this and want you to do it
more often; others won't."
- FINGERS ON THE HOOD
"Given how the clitoral area is often more
sensitive than any single part of the penis, you don't want the rough skin of
your fingers rubbing across it. Gently push and pull on the clitoral hood and
labia when first touching a woman's genitals. Using the lips as leverage can
provide pleasing stimulation without painful friction."
- FROM THE OUTSIDE
"Lay your free hand over the lower part of your
partner's abdomen. Experiment by applying different kinds of pressure with the
top hand while fingers from your other hand are inside her vagina."
- IMITATIONS
"An excellent way to learn more about pleasing your partner
is to rest your fingers over hers while she is masturbating herself. Then do
the reverse, with her fingers acting as guides for your own."
- OFF THE EDGE
"Another form of genital massage can be done by holding a
lubricated lip between your thumb and forefinger. While squeezing just a
little, pull your fingers straight away from the woman's body. Your fingers
will end up in the air an inch or two above her body, as though you had pulled
them off the edge of a tabletop or sheet of paper. If she likes this, repeat
it many times."
- OVARIES
"Ask your partner to help you locate her ovaries. They can
usually be felt in the deepest part of the vagina and to the far left or
right. Some women will like you to massage this area, others will find it
painful. Sensitivity will also vary with her menstrual status."
- PROPER INVITE
"Begin with a light, gentle caress that barely touches
the inner thighs and pubic hair. Don't go much further until your partner's
pelvis begins to arch upwards. Tease and caress until the lips of her vulva
invite your fingers inside."
- TRACING
"After applying lubrication, it might be nice to begin with one
of the large outer lips. Place the lucky lip between your thumb and
forefinger, clasping it at the base where it attaches to the main part of your
partner's body. Then run your fingers (or fingertip) from the lower to upper
part of the lip, as though you were tracing one side of a parenthesis. Repeat
this as long as your partner's feedback is positive. You can also make an
upside down horseshoe pattern with a fingertip by starting at the lower inside
part of one lip and finishing at the lower inside part of the other. It could
be fun to do this with both inner and outer lips."

- BE HERE NOW
"Hold completely still while your fingers or your hand are
still inside her vagina. Don't move - just be there and meditate."
- CRESCENT MOON
"Insert your thumb in her vagina, curl your palm around
onto her clitoris, and rest your fingertips on top of her pubic bone.
Alternate stimulation between the internal G-Spot, the clitoris, and the
external G-Spot/bladder."
- DOORBELL
"Press very firmly on her G-Spot, like ringing a doorbell.
Press, release, press...."
- FOUR DIRECTIONS
"With two fingers press firmly up/side/down/side in her
vagina, eight times each side."
- GENTLE TOUCH AND TICKLE
"Tickle the clitoris extremely lightly."
- HEALING THRUST
"Some women might need and want good, hard, deep,
vigorous thrusting penetration. Be sure to keep her relaxed - don't let her
get into a tensed body mode."
- PINCH AND PULL
"Gently pinch and pull on the clitoris."
- ROCK AROUND THE CLIT CLOCK
"With your forefinger make tiny circles,
stopping at every one of twelve 'hours'."
- TEMPLE GATE TEASE
"With one finger tickle her vaginal opening as
lightly as possible. Make her hungry."
- TOUR DE FRANCE
"Orbit your forefinger around between her inner and
outer labia from perineum to above her clitoris."
- TRIPLE DIGIT PUSSY PET
"Use your three longest fingers, with your
middle finger gliding along the outside of her vaginal opening and your other
two fingers running along the place where her thigh meets her labia."
- TWIST AND SHOUT
"Using one or more fingers, massage in and out while
twisting at the wrist."
Coming into contact
with active outbreaks of herpes or HPV, or exchanging body fluids with someone
currently carrying a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD), can impart a risk to
you of catching that STD. Although unprotected genital massage is certainly
safer than unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse, if you or your partner are
potentially contagious you can always insure absolute protection by putting on a
pair of latex or nitrile gloves before pleasuring your partner's genital areas.
Please note that gloves are ONLY considered necessary when one is massaging skin
that is broken or unhealthy due to STD-related inflammation, or when there is a
possibility of your hand(s) coming into contact with infectious body fluids; for
general massage on healthy skin (with no body fluids involved) they aren't
needed.
By the way, although oils do degrade latex, most experts feel that latex
gloves (which are thicker than condoms) may safely be used with oils for
reasonable periods of time.
Please remember do remember, though, that if you stimulate or penetrate a
woman's anus with one of your fingers you must change gloves before putting that
same finger into her vagina. Doing otherwise can cause vaginal infections.
It's helpful to put
together a tape or mini disc with music selections that work well for the pace of
your time together. For erotic massage, it's also helpful to arrange the
speakers so the best listening point is at the head of the massage table.
