Why a massage is the perfect way to seduce your lover

There’s nothing as sexy as giving or receiving a great massage. That is, as long as you’re doing it with the right person. This is why a massage is the most relaxing form of foreplay.

Some music in the background to set the mood, a lovely scented massage oil and a pair of skilled hands gliding over your body: what else do you need to get yourself in the mood for a wild round of fun in the bedroom? In turn, your partner will also thoroughly appreciate your efforts if you know how to loosen up his or her muscles. And get this: a good massage is often a sure sign of great sex to come. 

A bond of trust
Being able to completely surrender to the person you’re sharing the bed with: it says a lot about the trust you’ve built together. You’ll need to undress, lie there, comfortable in your own skin and hand over all control. It probably isn’t something you would do with someone right away and neither would your partner. Regardless of how close you two are, as always, communication is the key. So be sure to let your partner know what you like and don’t like.

Anti-stress
Getting a massage truly is relaxing in every sense of the word. Not only does it help loosen up the muscles in your body, it can also give you a great mental boost. And in all honesty, an empty mind often is a must for a successful round of lovemaking. 

While there’s nothing wrong with a quickie, complete relaxation can only occur when you take your time in the bedroom. In addition, when your muscles are loosened, hormones such as endorphins and oxytocin are released. These hormones reduce stress in the body and increase feelings of happiness. The perfect formula for some mind blowing sex. 

Building tension
Since there’s a large physical component to giving or getting a massage, it can quickly feel erotic. It literally and metaphorically brings you closer to your partner if you truly take the time to get to know each other. Not only that, a fantastic massage also helps to build sexual tension. It makes you very receptive of your partner’s touch, which makes every form of touching feel incredibly intense. In the meantime, you’re practically naked, so it’s easy to take it to the next level from there. At that point, there’s just no excuse but to let go and go for it.
