The Benefits of Erotic Touch

Hardwired to be Touched
Humans are hardwired to be touched. Even during our modern age of hectic schedules and impossibly long work hours, there’s nothing more satisfying or soothing than the caress of a lover at the end of a busy day.
Even platonic touching can go a long way towards boosting our moods; remember all those times when a comforting hug or a reassuring pat from a friend made you feel a million times better than before? Well, there’s a biological reason for that response.
Long before humans developed language we relied on touch in order to communicate or express feelings of joy, sorrow, pain or love. Touching is an ingrained part of how we socialize with others. In fact, scientific studies have shown that the more healthy touching that an adolescent or child is exposed to, the more likely he or she will develop into a well-rounded adult.
Touching also plays a vital role in our emotional development as well and not just when we’re children. Studies have shown that adults who are regularly exposed to touch, say the comforting hug of a friend or the soothing caress of a lover, often report themselves as being happier and more content than those people who are touched less.
So it’s easy to see how touching can not only spice up your sex life, it can also emotionally heal you and your partner as well.
So if you’re wondering how you can incorporate more of the blissful benefits of sensual touch into your relationship, here’s the scoop on how to soothe and emotionally heal your partner though erotic massage and bring him or her to the brink of pleasure again and again!
Incorporate Sensual Touch Into Your Relationship
While we may all enjoy a good back and shoulder rub from time to time, erotic massage is in no way similar to the typical massage. Massages are often used to release tension and relax knotted muscles. While this may be a pleasurable bonus to erotic massage, this should not be the ultimate goal.
Erotic massage is a slow and sensual activity that involves a great deal of intimacy and nudity. If you’re usually uncomfortable with prolonged nude activity,perhaps you’re too self-conscious of your own body or what your lover thinks of your sack skills, then take the time to set the proper mood.
Set the Mood
Light a few candles, play some sensual music or even swap your normal bed sheets for something light and silky. If you really want to turn the heat up during the massage, use massage oils in rich sensual scents, like sandalwood or jasmine.
When beginning your erotic massage experience, remember to communicate with your partner at all times. Remember to stare into each other’s eyes as you exchange gentle kisses and soft caresses.
This connection will not only make your partner feel more aroused and heighten his or her sexual desire during the erotic massage, it will reassure your lover of the strength and importance of your emotional commitment. This reassurance plays a vital role in the overall emotional healing of your lover.
Performing the Erotic Massage
When performing the erotic massage, remember to keep your hands on your partner at all times. Use soft yet rhythmic strokes as you slowly vary between gentle and deep touches (remember to ask your partner the type of touch that he or she prefers). While performing the massage, lightly brush your partner’s body with your genitals and/or breasts, as this will prolong your partner’s desire by keeping them in a sexually aroused state.
Continue with the massage until you feel that your partner is ready to move on to intercourse. Remember, erotic massage doesn’t necessarily have to lead to sex, and it only should when your partner invites it.
After the Massage
After giving the erotic massage, take the time to hold your partner and communicate how much you truly care for them. This non-sexual touch is not only a tranquil way to wind down from the intense pleasure, it’s also a great way to max out the intimacy for as long as possible.
This is truly one of the greatest benefits of erotic massage: it’s not only a pathway to intense sexual pleasure, but it can improve the quality of both your relationship and your own emotional and mental well-being.
Make erotic massage an important bedroom ritual and feel the amazing benefits of sensual touching in your relationship!
