Sex & relationships: Erotic massage tips for couples!

Massage is a great way to relax and unwind. If your partner seems to need a little rest and relaxation, an erotic massage may be just the solution! Massaging your partner can be great foreplay, but it can also be tricky if they are considerably more muscular than you are. 

When massaging a buff partner you may need to use more pressure to have the same effect. Even if sex isn't the intended end of your erotic massage, being connected through intentional touch and relaxation can be extremely beneficial to your relationship! 

So, if you are thinking of massaging your muscular lover and want it to be helpful AND erotic – read on!


1. GOOD MASSAGE STARTS WITH MASSAGE OIL

If you have ever had a professional massage you’ll notice that they always use massage oils. Why? The scent of the oil is relaxing, and it will help your hands glide over their skin to help to relax their muscles and to peak pleasure. So, if you are serious about massage, especially a sexual one, then you should invest in a nice bottle of massage oil.

Massage oils come in many forms- some get warm, some are edible, some are candle wax oils – and all will help you get your partner to the state of sexual zen.

With this many options it can be tricky to decide what's best for you, so here are some of our favorites:

Aromatic Sensual Massage Oil

The KamaSutra Aromatics Sensual Massage Oil is our go-to massage oil because it smells luxurious and nourishes the skin with lush hydration! It's non-greasy and light, so even if your partner has body hair it's a great choice.

Pro Tip: Heated oils are proven to benefit muscle tension. Be sure to warm the oil up by rubbing it between your palms before applying it to your partner's body. Their sore muscles will be thanking you!

Want to set the mood with soft lighting and heat things up a bit? Massage candles are formulated with a wax that melts at a temperature that is safe for your skin, and provide a sexy and warm sensation without any burning.

The Earthly Body Edible Massage Oil Candles are our favorite way to bring a sensual massage and oral play together. These candles are flavored, so by the time your partner's knots and tension are gone, they’ll be a sweet treat for you to enjoy. They come in many flavors to perfectly pair with your pleasure.

2. TAILOR THE EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR PARTNER

When you think of a sensual massage you might envision a candlelit room with relaxing spa music playing softly in the background, scented lotions, and cucumber water upon entry. While this may be the perfect romantic experience for some, why not customize the experience to your partner's preferences! 

Instead of classical music, maybe they’d prefer to listen to rock, R&B, or last night’s football game during their massage. Instead of cucumber water, consider having their favorite takeout ready for after you're done working your magic. Make it an experience just for them. 

Pro Tip: Set up the room in advance with these preferences in mind so you can be worry-free and present in the moment during the erotic massage. You deserve to relax in this process too!

When the mood is set, have your partner lay on their back in a comfortable position to begin the massage. 

3. DO IT NAKED!

One of the things that takes a massage from good to great is the art of the tease. Start by dressing up in something skimpy and slowly strip through the course of your massage. If you are going to oil up your partner and rub them allllll over then you might as well incorporate other body parts besides your hands, right? Knowing you’re using your whole body to rub their aching muscles and feeling your skin sliding against theirs will be more than enough to get them excited.

Don't be afraid to kiss along their body as you go!

4. DON'T BE TOO GENTLE

While massaging is sweet with a lighter touch, a massaging with a firmer one is way more beneficial for a bigger-muscled partner!

So, when you are massaging, make sure you put some power behind it. When you are massaging the back, use the palm of your hand, and your body weight to massage more deeply. Lean into those sturdy muscles using your own weight to push out the knots.

Pay attention to areas like the upper back, shoulders, lower back and upper thighs. Take your time appreciating their body and the relief you're providing them.

Your lover will truly appreciate the long-term results of this massage.

If you have trouble applying enough pressure to your buff babe’s tough muscles or just want to turn things up a notch, a massage wand can relax some of that excess tension away.

The Lux Wand has a sturdy design for applying pressure and powerful relaxing vibrations to stiff muscles. The corded design means you won’t have to fumble with batteries or wait for it to charge. The vibrations are so strong you can use the head to stimulate beyond their neck to their erogenous zones too! 

5. END WITH A BANG

Once you have finished massaging the back, thighs and neck it's time to turn your partner over. While sitting astride your partner’s lap, massage their chest and arms.

Bending seductively down toward your lover’s face, run your hands all over their torso and perhaps lean in for a kiss or two. Then move your hands slowly toward their genitals, rubbing the upper thighs and getting closer to the sensitive areas you haven't touched up to this point.

You and your lover will most likely be ready for you to take things to the next level – and if so, go for it! 

You’ve rubbed out much of your partner’s tension, and if you’re both relaxed and ready to be more intimate, you can enjoy the rest of your time in any way that is pleasurable to you both. The mood is set, so whether things move to you giving them oral sex or they offer to return the favor and massage you- it's a win, win! 

Pro Tip: If you both enjoyed the experience, consider incorporating massage into your regular self-care routine as a couple as a way to unwind and reconnect together!
