Creating the Perfect Erotic Massage Environment

Erotic massage can be a wonderful way for couples to connect and spend time together. Exchanging massages can also be a good way to heal frustrations and hurt feelings and many couples find that this is a technique that can strengthen their relationship on many levels.

It`s important to set aside quiet, uninterrupted time for exchanging erotic massages. If your phone is ringing halfway though, it will definitely ruin the mood. There are a few other things that you will want to do to set up the perfect massage environment.

Setting the Stage

What is going on around you will tend to affect what you`re doing, so be sure to set up an area for the massages. This could be the bedroom (preferred spot), the living room or anywhere else that you might enjoy doing a massage and that is comfortable. If you do decide to use another room, consider laying a futon or air mattress down on the floor to cushion your bodies. You will probably want to lay an older blanket or towel down before you begin the massage, so the oil doesn't stain your carpet or bedding.

Set up a romantic atmosphere by lighting candles, just be sure they are away from flammable objects. A couple dozen aromatic candles can really set the mood in any room. If you are doing this during the day, consider closing the curtains or hanging heavy blankets over the windows to create a more intimate feel.

Playing some soft romantic music can be nice, but if that isn't your cup of tea, don`t worry. Any music that you find erotic is just fine. Some people like classical piano, others not so much. Choose music that suits you and make sure there is plenty of it so you won`t have to get up and put more on in the middle of a massage.

Getting Ready

Have everything you need on hand to ensure that you won`t be searching around the house for items. A basket to hold everything can be quite useful. Here are a few items that you might find useful for the massage.

- Massage oils or lotion, scented or not
- Towels
- Wet wipes, for cleaning hands
- Chocolate body paint (optional)
- Feathers and other fun toys for playing with during the massage
- Blindfolds, to make the sensual experience even more erotic

Taking a shower together before the actual massage begins is a great way to start things off. It also ensures that both partners are nice and clean . . . always good since the smell of dirty feet can really put a damper on the evening. A shower also allows you to relax a bit before you get into the hands on part.

Other Tips

To make sure you aren't interrupted, turn off the ringers on all phones, put a Do Not Disturb sign on the door (if there are other people in the house) and choose a time of day when you have nothing else to do for hours. This will allow you to relax completely and you won`t be checking the time. In fact, it can even be nice to hide all the clocks so you can`t even look at the time. Just get lost in the massage.

Erotic massage can be a very good experience for a couple, if you prepare for it. Being interrupted, having to look for items half-way through the massage, and knowing that you`ll have to leave in an hour are all detrimental to the experience. Take the time to get everything set up, prepare the environment and get ready to enjoy quality couple time.
