Learning basic nude massage techniques can make all the difference between giving him a boring rub down and a male sensual massage. Use the following techniques to take your couples massage to the next pleasurable level.

Nude Massage Techniques

Basic Kneading

This back massage technique is used like kneading dough with flat hands. Due to its strong pressure, it is usually best used in fleshy areas such as the buttocks, thighs or the backs of the legs and care should be taken by the user when using this method as although the movements are strong, kneading is still always meant to be relaxing for your partner.

Cat Stroking

These strokes are fabulous to use when either beginning or ending a male sensual massage. Place your hand at the top of his neck then slowly sashay your hands lightly down his back, like petting a cat. This light touch is wonderful for relaxation and is also an excellent stroke to use on the side of the body or on the legs.

Circular Stroking

This stroke is great for the sides of the body, legs or as a back massage technique. Use both hands on the same side of the body and with palms facing down, apply gentle pressure as you fan one hand out in a circular motion, while the other only completes a half circle. Almost like the 'wax on, wax off' movement, this repetitive circular motion is best for large areas of the body, particularly the back or torso practiced in a slow, sensual manner.

Fan Stroking

This is considered to be one of the easiest nude massage techniques. Use the fan stroke by placing your hands, palm down on the side of the body, then fanning them out and back around again to your starting point.

Knuckling

This is where you close your hands in to a fist then swivel your knuckles across their body in a rippling motion. Although this technique is meant to be used in areas of the body that can take deep massage, such as the buttocks, back or the thighs, it is not meant to cause any pain. Knuckling is great to use when locating massage pressure points.

Thumb Stroking

You can use this stroke pretty much anywhere on the body but it is particularly good for tight places like the sides of the neck or the base of the skull. Or when used with softer pressure it is also one of the better arm massage techniques. Use it by stroking your thumb quite firmly in an upward and out motion then replicate this movement with your other thumb. You can also alternate each thumb after each repetition when you want to use extra force in one area. Thumb stroking is excellent for tight places like the neck or deep within the shoulder blades.

Static Pressure

This is an excellent technique to use when releasing pressure in stubborn areas like the neck, shoulders, back and even feet, or other massage pressure points. Use it by placing your thumbs securely on the skin, then leaning into them with your body weight to increase the pressure. Remain here for about 10 seconds or until you feel the muscles release, before moving on to the next point.
