I've done my best to cheer her up (flowers to work etc) but when I next see her I want to give her a relaxing massage, help her unwind and feel pampered.Haven't given a massage since I was married though, many years ago. So looking for some tips really.I was going to use oils rather than lotion, and sit astride so I can work back first before kneeling aside her to work thighs and calfs etc... then flipping her gently.But, I only know basic strokes (a gentle glide at the start to apply the oils, circular motions with palms wherever there's space such as her shoulders, kneading around the shoulders and gentle raking with fingertips) and I really want to make this feel special for her.Anyone here give regular massages to their partner?Does it make a big difference where you start? Do you find your (male) partner sitting astride to do the massage good... or does it become uncomfortable afterwards? And finally, can anyone recommend a good oil?Cheers.

the atmospheric setting of the room can do so much to aid with the feelings of relaxation alongside the massage. Run a nice bath with some expensive oil in first. have a few candles in the bedroom already lit for the ambience. fresh Flowers are a much nicer scent than some of these strong scented candles that can give you a headache. you could massage her head first, towards the neck and concentrate on head neck and shoulders, thats usually where the tension is. And as you move around the body, talk sensually, to heighten the experience. You could dress up like a proper masseur and tell her that she has paid extra at the desk and so after the massage she will get the extra service ( i did this one night, worked a treat). good luck and enjoy. hope this helps.
