12 Sensual Massage Dos and Don'ts

Think of a sensual massage as a slow tease ... of sexier things to come.

Sure, you can turn up the heat in your relationship by forking over a handful of cash for an expensive couple's massage. Or you can take matters into your own hands — literally — and give your partner a sensual massage right in the comfort of your own home. After all, who knows your lover's pleasure points better than you?

Massages are great for circulation, the nervous system and, in general, easing stress. But that's not all a good rubdown can do, according to Massage Therapist Jeanetta Goddette.

Steak is nice and fulfilling but I don't want to eat steak all the time. I like to eat chicken too. I also like sides along with my steak. The same goes with my sexual positions. I love riding but I also love a good wheel barrel ride too. Here are some positions that will have you waving bye-bye to boring sex. Read more
