Learning to fall effortlessly into the body and spend timeless moments in erotic trance is your birthright. This book is your guide. Each page reclaims forgotten pleasures of your most treasured but least utilized sensetouch. Our bodies are naturally wired for ecstasy. Our sense of touch, unlike the other senses, grows more acute with age, as does our ability to enjoy it. The tools to develop our bodys innate ecstasy potential are simple and profound. These techniques are covered in Erotic Massage in a way thats easy to learn and fun to practice!
I will guide you breath by breath, stroke by stroke, into the suspended consciousness of deep surrender for both giving and receiving a sensual massage. Whether you have five minutes or two hours to spare, youll be inspired to drop into body time every day to relax your mind, energize your body, and elevate your heart.
Warning: This book may be hazardous to your status quo. You can get addicted to body time and need a fix of juicy, in-the-moment touch every day. You may lose your feeling of separateness from your body, as well as your feeling of detachment from your partner. You may claim a new comfort and appreciation for your being, and a desire to share it more often with your lover! Reading this book is your commitment to embracing your ecstatic nature.
I encourage you to pursue more pleasure in life, a message we dont often hear at home, school, work, or church. You can cultivate and embody greater levels of erotic energy in your body than you ever imagined. I know this from personal experience. I was over fifty before I learned the techniques of erotic trance that Im sharing with you in this book. Were never too young or too old to expand our sensuality. The techniques for erotic massage in these pages will guide you clearly and joyfully into expanded pleasure, healthy well-being, and even personal transformation.
I want to demystify massage and enable you to learn many massage activities that you may choose to share with a partner, or perform by yourself, whenever youre in the mood for sensual touch.
Massage is spiritual food. We start with simple caresses of the hand or face that take only ten minutes out of a busy day. Youll learn to communicate your preferences and express your desires before we move on to full body massages and genital touch.
By committing to time frames and expressing boundaries for each massage, you learn to build trust and compliance with your partner. When we know what to expect in an activity, we can let our guard down and begin to feel. Until we feel safe, nothing is erotic! Youll become a child again, discovering and playing with the body erotic. Youll delight in touching for your own pleasure and being aware of the wonder of life in each breath. Youll learn how to take turns as the giver or the receiver of touch in each activity to deepen your awareness of each others bodies.
The adult child in you will remember how to play without strings attached. Youll practice touch without the need to go someplace, touch without payback, touch without pressure to perform, and touch without obligation. Youll learn free touching where the mind is focused only on the sensation in the present moment.
Learning to lusciously touch yourself expands your enjoyment of being touched by a partner. By revolutionizing your self-loving (masturbation) techniques, you can bring a new depth and eroticism to partner genital massage. Self-erotic massage in front of your partner is a hot way to transform old inhibited routines into new freedom and bliss.
If you are ready to relax your mind and come to your senses, follow me breath by breath, stroke by stroke, into the heart of your loving.
If you are tired of thinking all the time, massage will guide you into observing.
If you are tired of controlling all the time, massage will lead you into surrender.
If you are tired of achieving all the time, massage will lead you into being.
If you are ready to luxuriate in the awe and wonder of each juicy moment, lets get started. While this book is designed for couples, most exercises can also be practiced alone. Based on the photo, Ill be addressing either a man or a woman throughout the book, but the massage techniques usually are not gender-specific. My suggestion to you is to first read each chapter and then perform the exercises sequentially until you feel comfortable with them. When rereading the book, feel free to pick and choose randomly.
Most of us long to touch and be touched in a timeless, heartfelt way. We long to feel accepted and cherished for the erotic, sensual beings we are. Erotic massage has been my path to greater freedom and grace. I invite you to journey into the heart of your being.
chapter ONE
SHOWING UP FOR PLEASURE
Saying yes to pleasure is an acquired skill in our culture. Having fun every day is not usually written into our agenda. Our knee-jerk reaction to pleasure is, Sounds nice, but I dont have time. Unfortunately, we dont do pleasure well.
How many of us get touched enough in our daily lives? When we were babies, we were held, rocked, and touched all day long. Do we really believe that as adults we dont need it anymore? In our busyness, do we hide a deep hunger to feel cherished, appreciated, and desired?
How can a hardworking, touch-starved person become a rested, touch-fed person? Do we need a doctors order? You look frazzled; go home and languish in the arms of your beloved till restored. Do we need a bosss order? Sales are down; go home, take a long sensual shower, massage yourself, and start daydreaming.
We all remember being caught daydreaming as a child and reprimanded by a parent or teacher: Quit daydreaming; youre wasting time. However, what was being wasted in that time? Maybe being busy all the time is a waste of time. We call ourselves human beings, but we never seem to get around to being. Were a world full of human doers. And in our frenetic doing and achieving, how much joy and freedom do we feel?
Often our fearful, dualistic thinking leads us to believe we have to choose between two extremes. In this book, I want to show you that you dont have to decide between a life of hard work or pleasure; rather, its possible to have both! Balance enriches our lives, and its important to relish in body wisdom and joy everyday.
