Experience Pleasure and Sexual Healing Through Erotic Massage

Image taken on by .

There’s nothing that erotic touch and loving can’t do for a successful, fulfilling and healthy sexual relationship.  Be prepared to experience sensual nirvana, and a powerful force to rev you and your lover up for a second (or more!) round of exciting play.

 Erotic and sensual touch can not only improve and supercharge your relationship and satisfaction; it can reduce stress, increase energy, tone the body and add to your emotional health! The touch of a lover can also be incredibly soothing and healing. The benefits are as profound as they are far-reaching.

Often the first thing that suffers in a relationship is simple touching. In our hectic lives and multiple responsibilities, the simple touch and caress of our lover can be incredibly soothing and satisfying – dissolving the tensions of the day. Touch is part of the human psyche and fabric of society and is the most profound form of communication. Before human beings developed language and symbols, touch was a tool to express a myriad of feelings, ideas and sensations. In fact sociologists have confirmed that babies, children and teenagers require regular touch to develop into emotionally healthy individuals.

If you’re looking for ways to add more sensual touch, healing and pleasure into your life and relationship, here are a few ideas to keep in mind:

Healing sensual and erotic touch need not always start or end in the bedroom. When out with your lover a simple shoulder rub, caress of the face, or even a sensual foot massage can also be pleasurable experiences in themselves. When taking your sensual touch to the next level, erotic massage is a slow sensual activity involving intimacy, eroticism and degrees of nudity ( depending on what you are comfortable with). Creating a sensual and inviting mood is important when preparing your erotic touch experience. Take the time to prepare some candles, music, and rich scents to fragrance the air. You can use scented candles or an aromatherapy burner. Communication is very important throughout the erotic massage. Maintain good eye contact, especially when stroking your lovers face and body. This encourages a deeper intimate bond with your lover and is important in establishing emotional commitment and healing. It also increases arousal in your lover – thereby increasing their sexual desire. When massing your partner, remember to keep at least one hand on them at all times. This creates a feeling of safety. Use slow rhythmic strokes, increasing pressure as your partner prefers. Leave the intimate areas to the end, as the time spent in relaxing, soothing their body and maintaining sexual arousal will lead to one heck of a lift off!  You can continue to intercourse if you partner would like to, but this is not necessary. End your massage by taking the time to gently hold and caress your partner, expressing your care for them. Wind down the sexual pleasure through tranquil non-sexual embracing, and luxuriate in your intimacy.

 

Maintain the ritual of erotic and sensual touching – and reap the incredible benefits in your relationship!

 

Strengthen Your Immune System through Body Massage Therapy in Clearwater, Oldsmar, Safety Harbor and Trinity, FL

The basic foundation of good health is a strong immune system. You can strengthen your immune system with body massage therapy in Clearwater, Oldsmar, Safety Harbor and Trinity, FL. There are professional massage therapists to help you in well-appointed and reputable massage spas.

Scientific studies have established the beneficial effects of massage in boosting immunity. The most dramatic results can be seen in studies done among HIV positive patients.

As HIV worsens, the patients’ CD4+ cells decline. These are the immune system’s helper cells. HIV attaches itself to the CD4+ cells so that when CD4+ cells multiply to fight infection, HIV multiplies, too, and disarms the CD4+ cells. Immunity is, therefore compromised. The normal range of CD4+ cell counts should be 500 to 1,600 or an average of 1,000 per cubic millimeter of blood. In AIDS cases, the CD4+ count falls below 200.

Another helper cell of the immune system is the CD8+ cell or suppressor cell. There should be one CD8+ cell for every 1-2 CD4+ cells. In HIV patients, this ration decreases, too, as more helper cells are depleted.

Studies have, therefore, used cellular measures as the gauge for the effectiveness of massage in strengthening immunity. A study by Ironson et al in 1996 was participated in by 29 adult male HIV patients divided into two groups. The first group was given 45-minute massages from Monday to Friday for one month. The second group had no massage. After the month-long treatment, the massage group showed an increase in CD8+ cells, as well as in natural killer (NK) cells which are also crucial in fighting diseases.

A following study by Diego et al was participated in by 24 adolescent HIV patients. This time, the study covered three months. The massage group was given 20-minute chair massage sessions twice a week for those three months. The second group was given 20-minute relaxation therapy sessions twice a week for the same three months. After the treatment period, the massage group alone had increased CD4+ cells, improved CD4+-to-CD8+ ratio, and increased NK cells.

In 2000, a study by Birk et al showed that the frequency of massage is a major factor for producing positive outcomes in terms of immune boosting. Birk et al only gave their participants once a week massage sessions and showed no effects on immune system cell measures.

More positive results were shown by the study conducted by Shor-Posner et al among 24 HIV positive children aged two to eight years old in the Dominican Republic, with blood samples flown to a Miami laboratory for testing. The massage group was given 20-minute massage sessions twice a week for three months. The control group was given friendly visits by a nurse or therapist for 20 minutes twice a week for the same three months. After the treatment period, the massage group’s CD4+ and CD8+ cell counts increased while those of the control group decreased.

It is encouraging to note that massage could now be used as a weapon in fighting HIV, especially among children. It can be a very important weapon especially in areas that cannot afford expensive medication.

If massage can help the ravaged immune system of those afflicted with HIV, think of how much it can improve the health of those who do not have HIV.

Do yourself and your health a favor by strengthening your immune system. You can choose from a wide variety of body massage therapy services, including deep tissue massage, sports massage and Swedish massage, given by qualified massage therapists in the massage spas of Clearwater, Oldsmar, Safety Harbor and Trinity, FL. This is one prescription you’ll definitely enjoy.

The comprehensive impact of a massage on a professional individual is impossible to overestimate.

A massage in London (whether it is a tantric massage, a sensual massage or any other type of massage) should be a treatment from which you receive the maximum benefit and the maximum pleasure.  A tantric massage allows you to connect in the best way possible from a spiritual sense to your body and its needs. A tantric massage is an overall experience for your mind and soul, as well as your body.

A huge downside to life in London is the big city stresses and whilst a highly regarded career is a fantastic thing to have, it also comes with pressure and responsibility.  A sensual massage is one of the most refreshing and energising ways to feed your soul and alleviate your entire body of the strains and stresses of an unremitting lifestyle.
