What is Intimacy Massage?

Intimacy massage is a couples meditation that enhances connection and sensual expression

In the first part of Intimacy Massage one person massages their partner for the session. The “giver” focuses on massaging and touching their partner in ways that feel good and enhance the senses. The “receiver” focuses on the feelings of being touched. Partners can take turns as they like on different days giving and receiving the massage.

With just a little practice, people dramatically increase their sensitivity for touch – both by receiving the massage and by giving it. It allows them to enjoy sensation more in all areas ranging from relaxation to sexual intimacy. As the person giving the massage it helps them learn how to better read and understand their partner’s reactions and give them more pleasure through touch. This both helps them improve their massage skills and become better lovers.

Ultimately, it is a form of meditation people can do together to create deeper connection to each other and themselves. It integrates the proven methods from many Tantra, Taoist Yoga, and other eastern sexual practices and presents them in a way modern busy couples can actually apply and use to enjoy life more.

To practice Intimacy Massage as it was created, both partners must be willing to commit to honoring the promise to their partner that nothing sexual will happen during or immediately after the massage. This is important so the person receiving the massage can relax and trust that there is no pressure. As well there is no obligation for any sexual activity later unless both partners want this.

Many people become highly aroused by the experience. The act of intentionally waiting till later for sexual activity can build a level of erotic tension. This often leads to amazing experiences later if couples do engage in consensual sexual activities.

After learning the techniques in intimacy massage, many do incorporate them into their foreplay routine. However, the practice of intimacy massage should be seen as a separate activity not include sexual activity.

For individuals, this is a great way to learn how to both experience and share sensuality with others.

For couples interested in taking things further we have Sensual Massage, more advanced programs are available that incorporate many Asian sexual practices in a format people can quickly understand and apply.
