HOW TO GIVE A MASSAGE
Master these rubdowns basics, and a happy ending are guaranteed!

The most sensitive body parts are the head, neck, ears, sides of the body from armpits to hips, inner-thighs, fingers and toes, and, of course, genitals. Here are seven steps to the best massage you'll ever give -- and receive.

Step 1: Warm your hands. With your guy lying on his stomach, buck naked, warm your hands by rubbing them together. Place them on your partner -- one hand on the upper back, one on the lower. Leave your hands there for a long moment; this starts your sweetie on the path to total relaxation.

Step 2: Lather your palms. Rub a small amount of oil between your hands to make it warm. Then start rubbing your hands up and down your sweetie's whole backside. Accentuate the strokes until you feel him relax.

Step 3: Continue down to the legs. Be sure to cover both the front and back with sensual strokes. Don't forget the feet! There's a whole school of massage -- reflexology -- devoted solely to the soles. Spend time really digging into your sweetheart's footsies.

Step 4: Move up to the arms. Use some palm circling on his upper arm and forearm muscles, then use your thumbs to massage the heels of your honey's hands. Be sure to flex his fingers and rotate his wrists.

Step 5: Nurture the neck and head. Anyone who's gotten a scalp massage at a hair salon knows how this makes you tingle all over. Use your fingertips and nails (gently) to really dig in there.

Step 6: Flip him over. Massage his chest muscles, kneading the fleshy parts and using your fingertips to massage the nipples. Imagine that your fingers are following the spokes on a bicycle wheel, and let them circle from the center of the nipple to its edge. Remember to use a light touch! Move down to the abdomen, but take care: Press deeply, but not so much that it hurts. Make sure that what you're doing feels good.
