Sexual.
Therapeutic Massage is performed
for medical reasons to alleviate pain, foster relaxation and
improve circulation. Some of the most common are:

Cranio-Sacral – is a technique for finding and
correcting cerebral and spinal imbalances or blockages that
may cause sensory or motor problems.
Shiatsu and Acupressure – systems of specific areas
where pressure is applied to treat special points along
acupuncture meridians.
Sports Massage – massage therapy focusing on muscle
systems relevant to a particular sport. This will be
beneficial for nearly all topics.
Reflexology – is a technique of releasing congestion or
tension on a body part and have it cause the same release in a
different area of the body. Causing a relaxing effect on the
whole of the body that would normally not be possible.
Sexual massage
is play for lovers. It is divided into two categories:
Sensual and Erotic. TOP
Sensual Massage —
focuses on delivering pleasure and relaxation but is not
intended to lead to intercourse or sexual activity. It
is nurturing in its purest form and follows a specific set of
movements and sequences. Does not engage any erogenous
zones.
Erotic Massage —
also known as foreplay, erotic massage has no specific
sequences and is intended to arouse. This is the only
type of massage that engages erogenous zones.
Couples are lucky; a massage therapist
is always in the home. Over the next year I'll cover the
skills and techniques you'll need to fully spoil yourself and
the one you love.
