Looking for a fresh way to reconnect with your guy? Try a simple but deliciously sensual massage. "Too often, couples fast-forward to intercourse, which means they're neglecting about 80 percent of each other's bodies," says Gordon Inkeles, author of The New Sensual Massage. "Sensual massage encourages lovers to be generous with each other, to explore parts of the body that aren't overtly sexual." Here, a step-by-step guide to giving (or getting!) a totally indulgent massage.

Step 5: Get hands-on.

To give a great massage, all you need to know are a few basic moves:
 

• Compression is an easy movement to master and great for many body parts, says Inkeles. Just lay one hand flat on, say, his shoulder, press the other hand on top of it, and rotate slowly.
   
• Stroking works wonders on areas both large (back and thighs) and small (neck and tops of feet). Keep your fingers together, thumbs parallel, and palms in full contact with the part you're working, and make long, gentle movements. Apply more pressure when stroking toward your partner's heart, less pressure in the opposite direction.
• Kneading is perfect for fleshy areas such as biceps, buttocks, and thighs. Simply lift and squeeze the area you're working, with your palms in full contact with your partner's skin.
• Friction is done without oil and loosens up deep muscles. Anchor the area you're massaging with one hand, and use the other to deeply press and rub. For smaller areas like the shoulder caps, soles of the feet, and palms, apply friction with your fingertips.
• You can put any or all of these moves together in any order, depending on what your partner needs and how he responds to each touch. Try this basic routine to start (but feel free to add your own personal touches): Have your guy lie facedown. Apply friction to his shoulder caps. Squeeze a few drops of oil onto your hands and stroke his back. Next, knead his buttocks and thighs and stroke his calves. Finish off with a little bit of friction on the soles of his feet.

Step 6: Focus on the feelings.

Intimate massage isn't about perfection, so don't worry about doing it "right." Try to stay in the moment. "The quality of your touch is more important than technique," says Peggy Morrison Horan, author of Connecting Through Touch and a founder of the Esalen Massage Program at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA. "Massage is about being emotionally present, touching your partner with intention, and paying attention to his reactions." What could be sexier than that?

We all have an innate need for touch. The skin is the largest sense organ of the body, and the simplest physical contact can trigger emotional and mental connections.

Massage reduces stress levels and is believed to be highly beneficial for overall health. It can improve circulation, the immune system and brain functions. Massage is suggested to soothe muscles, headaches and certain allergies. It has even been credited with aiding the digestive and nervous systems.

Different Types of Massage

• Deep tissue is mainly used for sports.
• Therapeutic is to relax and/or produce healthful benefits.
• Swedish utilizes the entire hand in generally flowing movements to work muscles.
• Shiatsu is a Japanese method of using the fingers to knead pressure points.
• Sensual massage soothes, relaxes and stimulates the senses.

Tips on Preparing for a Sensual Massage

A sensual massage should be anything but rushed. If assuming the role of "receiver," put aside all worries and responsibilities. As the giver, take the time to fully enjoy and explore your partner's body. The most important factor is to maintain continual contact with the skin.

A great prelude to your sensual massage session is a luxurious bubble bath or shower (for one or two!). The goal is to relax and prepare the body and mind for a sensual awakening.

• If using massage oil, warm it with your hands or in the microwave. Use just enough to cover the palms without causing it to drip.
• Switch roles from "giver" to "receiver" after about 30 minutes of indulging.
• To enhance the overall experience, use aromatherapy products such as candles, lotions, oils, etc.
• Add some soft, relaxing music to the background. Choose something that won't distract from the desired mood.
• Consider your location. Since massage tables are not practical in most homes, a bed, couch, or even the floor are all acceptable locales. Don't discount outdoor options - poolside, the lawn, or a lounge chair will work.
• As far as what to wear, less is definitely more. Anything loose, comfortable, soft and easily removable would be optimal. A basic sheet, towel, blanket, or robe is perfect.
