Benefits Of Sensual Massage
Besides incredible relaxation, sensual massage has a lot of emotional, physical and relational benefits. It’s a massage technique as old as time. It’s a wonderful way for better overall physical, emotional and sexual well-being. It also deepens the connection with your partner/s.
Sensual Massage “Reset”
Relieving stress is its most instant and noticeable benefit. The soothing touch and rhythmic movements and psychological space sensual massage takes you into begins to lower your cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for increasing stress-feelings.
This results in better sleep and better mental clarity. It’s a great “reset.”
Why Sex Therapists Highly Recommend Sensual Massage
Sensual massage helps with your sexual function, enjoyment and performance. It also deepens your intimacy or your ability to have intimacy.
Sex therapists highly recommend sensual massages to address sexual issues like low libido, premature ejaculation, and difficulties getting aroused.
The focused attention and gentle stimulation to erogenous parts of your body can increase their sensitivity and desire. It’s excellent for foreplay.
Physical Benefits From Sensual Massage Most People Don’t Know
I mentioned sensual massage decreases cortisol levels in your body and the other obvious physical benefit better blood flow… but most people don’t know this unless they’re experienced with massage:
There’s a system in your body that requires movement for it to function well, and that’s your lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a fluid system in your body containing white blood cells (those that fight illness and disease). This fluid requires movement or manual stimulation like massage for it to circulate throughout your body.
So, if you want to be the most effective in your body health, movement and massage is and incredible regular practice.
How Sensual Massage Affects Your Mental Health
Sensual massage, in particular apart from other massages, releases a lot of oxytocin. Oxytocin is the “love hormone” or “cuddle hormone”. It’s released especially with a sensual massage because of the intimacy and affection that’s with this sensual variant of massage.
There’s kind of “mind-state” for better clarity and enlightenment called “mindfulness.” When you’re receiving sensual massage, it’s a lot different from a regular massage because it makes your experience more mindful. You become aware of the sensations of your body and the emotions that come up in your body. In this way, you gain more understanding about who you are.
How To Increase Your Relationship Skills by Sensual Massage
Sensual massage can create an environment where you become aware of certain things and sensations and dynamics where it encourages you to put them into words. This makes you a better communicator of your desires, explorations, feelings, and boundaries (what you like and certainly don’t like). This is an amazing experience most people never facilitate in their relationships.
Conclusion
There are a lot of things about sensual massage you will not find in any other modality of massage. You gain a deeper awareness of your emotions and body, gain new sensations you may never have experienced, become able to experience deep intimacy, and even become a better sensual communicator.
