Sensual Oil Massage
The alternative therapy of massage can be traced back to India, Japan, China, Egypt, Rome and Greece. Pressure is put on selected body parts with aids or manually. The gastrointestinal system or tissues like the skin, tendons, joints, muscles, ligaments or lymphatic vessels are targeted during a massage. To apply a massage fingers, hands, elbows, forearms and feet are used. Massages are a form of therapeutic touch which relax the body and provide relief from muscle tension. This form of therapy has been found useful for backaches, body aches, headaches, joint pains and sensual arousal. Though research has shown different benefits of massaging, it is not supported by clinical studies.
Therapeutic and aromatic oils of different kinds are used to massage the body. Salts are also used along with oils to remove dry skin and soften the body. A massage therapist or other health care professionals like chiropractors, osteopaths, athletic trainers and physical therapists can perform a massage. Massaging through the use of essential oils extracted from aromatic plants to enhance health and beauty is termed aromatherapy. Apart from physical benefits, there is a subtle effect of the essential oils on the mind and different emotions. Oils extracted from rose and jasmine are known to have aphrodisiacal qualities and are effective for sensual body massages.
A sensuous oil massage is the use of the massage techniques along with essential oils for erotic and sexual purposes. Erogenous zones of the body like the area around the groin and other intimate parts which are not touched during a normal massage are touched in ways that increase sexual arousal. The focal area of such a massage depends on the gender of the person receiving it and the one giving it.
A sensual oil massage is often utilized as a sex therapy. The massage and the oils that are used stimulate the libido and increase the ability of the person to respond positively to a sexual stimulus. Such an oil massage can be a form of foreplay without sexual gratification. It just heightens the sensitivity of an individual. Sometimes, therapists use sensual massages for a professional purpose. Men who are suffering from a problem of premature ejaculation can be cured through this therapy.
Nothing can be more sensually tactile than soft and soothing hands gliding over the skin. A sensual oil massage is intimate, romantic and relaxing. In fact, it can be best way to unwind after a tiring and hectic week. A proper oil massage involves the application of pressure at the different nerve points of the body. This touching of the focal points in the body must be continuous. This kind of a massage would help to release any pain or tension that is hidden in the body.
The oils that are used in a sensual massage awaken the senses and refresh the mind and the body. There are different types of massage oils that are extracted from various fruits and flowers like lavender, sesame, rosemary, juniper berry, sweet almond, apricot, coconut, sunflower, avocado, grape seed, olive, ylang-ylang etc. Many of these oils are aphrodisiacs and anti-depressants. A sensual oil massage thus can act as a sedating agent and be effective in reducing anxiety.
