Aug 12, 2009 Stuart Cooke

When looking to improve intimate skills, men can use massage to pleasure the women in their lives, which will both enhance closeness and strengthen their relationships.

In any intimate relationship, sexual activity can have a great effect on the interactions of the partners, leading to a deep level of understanding and support, perhaps not achievable through other means. In addition to enhanced communication and insight regarding one's partner, sex can also serve as a fun and healthful activity for couples.

Although sex has many virtues, it can still be an intimidating pastime for lovers. This is largely due to gender-based differences when it comes to one's sexual needs. What a man desires may conflict with what a woman desires in an intimate sense. A couple must address and work around this disparity in order for a sexual relationship to remain happy and healthy.

For the man in a relationship, the use of sexual massage can be a great tool for enhancing the woman's enjoyment of sexual activity. Skills in this area will help to build intimacy, strengthen the relationship and ensure satisfaction for the woman.

Creating an Environment for Sexual Massage

When preparing to massage his partner, the most important goal in the mind of the man should be goal of providing a feeling of relaxation. And it's important to remember that almost everything in a room will contribute to the tranquility of the environment, leading to enhanced pleasure. There are a variety of tools that someone can use to create the ambiance perfect for female sexual pleasure:

  • Lighting should be soft, and can be achieved through the use of dimmers and candles.
  • There should be a soft and comfortable place for the partner; placing pillows behind her head and body will contribute to her enjoyment of the environment.
  • If music is befitting, try pieces that are ambient in nature. One would not want his lover to be distracted from her relaxation and pleasure!

The atmosphere created can place the partner into a relaxed mindset. This will enable her to enjoy the massage even more as she will be more available for pleasure. Although environment does not relate directly to a lover's sexual skill, it will help to pleasure the woman in a different way – mentally as well as physically.

Soft and Slow Touch as Sexual Skill

Some people cannot be rushed into sexual activity. To do so risks a lower level of pleasure for one's lover. Instead, one must gradually increase the pleasurable experience for his partner. This approach is indicative of a higher level of sexual skill and ideally, this method should be used as often as possible.

  • Gentle touch in less obvious sexual areas will build anticipation for further touch. Appropriate areas to touch in a slow and gentle manner include the nape of the neck, the calves, hands, ears and stomach.
  • While the use of kissing is beneficial during the latter part of a sexual massage, contact should be limited using the hands during the first part of the massage.
  • After ten to fifteen minutes of touch, the man can move toward more sensitive areas of the woman's body. By this point, anticipation will have increased and the woman will be far more receptive to pleasuring touch.

With soft and slow touch in a sexual massage, the man can be more confident that his lover will be ready for further action, should that be desired.

Sexual Massage and Intimacy

When performing a sexual massage on his lover, the man should consider being focused on the entire experience, rather than attempting to achieve a particular result, such as orgasm. This can be a pleasurable for both partners.

Engaging in more stimulating massage can be approached in a manner where the partner begins with slow and gentle touch as a way to build anticipation and pleasure for the woman. It's also important to ask questions about a partner's preferences and the man might want to try and remember that the process of the massage should be the focus, instead of focusing on an end result.

Improved Intimacy After Sexual Activity

The act of sexual massage is a wonderful opportunity for a couple to forge a deep understanding. Although it can lead to more sexual play, that does not always have to be the sole intent. Instead, a couple can enjoy the air of enhanced intimacy, post-massage. Many might find that cuddling and communication will be more pleasurable for both parties at this time.

Through the entire act of sexual massage,focusing on the moment can be a huge boon to enjoyment. The woman may experience greater pleasure and feel more in tune with her lover, while the man will feel more confident in his sexual skill and will likely find that other sexual activity is enhanced. Of course, any couple should take the time to explore what feels right for them, as long as it is healthy.
