Couple Massage February 18, 2009

Massaging each other can be a very romantic act. Not only does the sense of touch can evoke the sensuality of your partner, it can also make your partner feel very much in love and connected. Here’s how you can use some simple massage tips:

Item’s needed for the massage:

Some lotion or oil which you can easily purchase at “The Body Shop”.

A comfortable quiet place with privacy. If your house is unsuitable, book an affordable hotel room.

Smell is one other important aspect. Include some nice scent along.

Preparation for the massage:

Before the massage, you will need to know where are some of the favourable spots your partner like. And should there be areas that they feel ticklish, avoid it (especially the feet).

Another area to avoid is bruises or broken skin.

Have your partner lie on the bed face down with their head at the foot of the bed. One of the secrets to giving a great massage is being comfortable while doing it. When you stand at the foot of the bed during a massage, you have easy and comfortable access to massaging the back and neck.

The person receiving the massage should be disrobed at much as comfortably possible.

Before starting, turn off both yours and your partner mobile phones.

Giving the massage:

One of the more efficient and well-liked by the broad category of people will be the sliding technique. This is whereby you use the broad palms to glide across the body. Using good pressure with both thumbs, go on a rotation circular mode. In addition, in the right environment it is very sensual.

You can pick up some great skills off Youtube, in particular emphasis to Swedish massage. This is because of its ease and what more people are comfortable with.

Receiving the massage:

Provide feedback. Whether it’s with words, by a moan of pleasure or a squeal of pain, let the person massaging you know what works and what doesn’t. This is one of those few times it’s all about you, so make the most of it.

This is comfy (“Ning Beauty” @ Indus Road”) January 20, 2009

I would say the massage standards in Singapore is pretty much comparable to many neighbouring countries. Although we do understand that there are many who swears by going to Indonesia or Thailand for a cheap massage for a lengthy period of time, it is here too, that the prices aren’t really that steep.

At Ning Beauty, it is pegged at $30 for an hour’s session. With a skillful masseuse in the privacy of your individual room, you can get a pretty good deal too. I was greeted in an amicable manner by my receiving masseuse and thought she was possibly in an ideal mood. We briefly chatted for a moment and I got to know that she was from Malaysia.

Her knuckles kneaded past my body and hands. As she applied the same method on my shoulders, she began adding massage oil and brushed downwards off my shoulders. I informed her of my aching hands as previously I had carried some heavy materials while moving house for my relatives. She focused on my pair of sore hands and pounded lightly with karate chops in rhythm.

The whole process ended slightly more than an hour into time and it feels absolutely good. I thank my masseuse and she sees me off to the door front. A simple relaxing place to be.

A bliss after a hard day’s work…(“ANA Health Centre @ Queens St”) December 26, 2008

It was a pretty tough day at work managing some tough clients who are pressing on the already heavy load of work. The daily pressures in life just weigh down on those tiring shoulders. It was a pretty hectic day from 9am meeting the first client till 6pm meeting the 5th client of the day.

6pm was supposedly time for dinner but my stomach wasn’t growling at all…possibly due to the lose of appetite meeting the demands of the day. As usual, to destress myself after a hard day of work, it is time to relax with a good body massage.

I have been to ANA Health Centre at Queens St once before..but that was some months back. Since I was in the vicinity, I thought it will be nice to pop by.

A pleasant lady greeted me at the doorway (I guess she just came back from dinner..) and guided me to the reception whereby I selected my 1 hour package.  Through the passageway as I walk in, the ambience sets me in a relaxing mood with the calm environment.

I just laid myself down on the bed and soon after a young masseuse (possibly in her mid-20s) followed up. The massage was great as she kneaded all my work tensions away…it seems to me that every time she glides her hands down my body, it lightens my day’s pressure. As she work her way down my legs, the chopping technique was used and I could feel my legs soothe with comfort as she applied a fare bit of massage oil.

The hour was gone in a jiffy but it was very well worth it. I must have been too relaxed to have forgotten to ask the masseuse what her name was…I will definitely make a trip down to ANA Health Centre again…till the next time, I’ll post the masseuse name here on my blog.
