Aromatherapy/ Massage

25 Jul 2006

Years ago I used to do alot of aromatherapy and healing art type stuff as well as practising other 'stuff'
I'm just being nosey & am interested to see if anyone else is into massage/ aromatherapy generally, and importantly can 'give' massage or who uses it within their swinging play? dunno

(there's method in the madness, honest innocent

)

never tried either

you're tarting for a shag and a free rub down aren't you dark?

25 Jul 2006

I love to be massaged but I'm crap at giving massages.

25 Jul 2006

well i am IHBC qualified for massage and have taken aromatherapy course and still have all my oils etc, i have used it on special people but dont just use it on anyone, and obviously have to be careful with essentials oils as there are contraindications to using certain oils with certain physical conditions.
but am now scared as to what you have in mind :shock:

Had a 'private party' at home once, where one of the lovely ladies off this site brought her massage table, oils, etc etc etc. Made her hubby carry them up the road in to my house lol

She then kindly spent the evening showing us all how to do various things with the oils etc and which type were best for what etc.
Which I think everone enjoyed.
How ever like most SH pivate party type events, someone at this one got carpet burns, and 2 others fell to sleep redface

nah, i'm nosey, clearing up after the builders today and found my box of oils that i havent seen in ages, and it made me wonder.... about massage generally and particularly whether folk use it when playing on a sensual/ intimate level as part of the fun, or is it something you reserve for a close partner because it can be so intimate ? dunno

I love having massages :inlove: I'd could do with a full body rub down, makes me feel all sensual and relaxed. I've booked a night school course for stress relieveing massage, mainly for neck, shoulders and head and can't wait to find someone to practice on wink

DF, if you manage to make it down to the next Pussy Posse meet, bring the oils with you and we'll put them to good use :twisted: Better still, come down alone and we'll practice together :rascal:

Naughty Goose! Get back to answering all your PMs! :P
When my gf has PMT I massage her with rose oil - and mix in a little lavender if she can't sleep.

Oooh I love massages.
There's a place I go for aromatherapy massages (local) and they're great.
Never had one as part of a swinging/sexual experience (unless you count dammie giving me one).
I'm open to offers though :rascal:
Seriously it's not something I'd do if I was building up for a shagathon as to me the whole point is for it to relax me to the point where I fall asleep

25 Jul 2006

I love giving massages, especially when I have time to do it properly wink

I also absolutely love being massaged although find it hard to relax because I feel it should be me doing the massaging confused

Fee enjoys a foot massage most nights as it is AND we've just discovered Lush massage bars which use natural essential oils so Fee isn't allergeic to them lol

Have dabbled a bit with aromatheraphy and reflexology as well.
I'm just a dabbler in general I suppose cool

25 Jul 2006

I love receiving massages â€“ guaranteed to make me horny when my other half does it lol
Have used it on others â€“ great way to relax lol

I am a trained reflexologist but never occurred to me to use it rolleyes

Food for thought!

This is what I think hun, because of our jobs, den and I can both massage, although we don't really tend to do it often in work.
I love giving him a massage, and love even more being on the receiving end, but don't think we would ever involve a proper massage if we were 'playing'- we usually get far too carried away!
We usually save a massage as a special treat to relax and chill, but saying that, we usually get carried away anyway!
Now I think about it, I'm well overdue one from D!!

I used to go to an holistic therapist, who did the lot - aromatherapy, reflexology plus a few other things - mmmm lovely it was too. Must go again soon. I'm reasonable at giving a massage too but nothing like as expert as the real thing.

WillingVictim is a qualified clinical practitioner. Which means that I get the benefits of all her hard work and training. As well as Swedish and remedial massage, she does Indian head massage, clinical aromatherapy and thermo-auricular therapy.
I am very proud of her.
De_sade

Your proud of her! I think Im in love with her :shock: Sounds like my idea of paradise wink

Only time I've had a massage is when my back's been bad so I've been in too much pain to enjoy it. As for the foot thing, you'd have to scrape me off the ceiling first.

I've got a massage table ( professional one ) with a good selection of oils ( and a good book to keep me right about which oils to use and which ones NOT to use ) and its pretty usual for me toend up giving 3 or 4 of my close female mates a full body massage once or twice a month ( they work in the fish yards and thats bloody hard physical work so I do my best to ease out all the knot's and achy bits in their muscles ).I have used massage in play tho with the ex-wife , she used to love being massaged to almost the point of being asleep then i used to gently drag my nails up her legs, over her bum and up her back by which point I was usually getting told to get licking!!! lol
I love recieving a massage to , provided its by someone that actually knows what they're doing. With my bad back too much pressure in the wrong place can just about have me clinging to the ceiling in pain !!
Any NE Scottish ladies need a massage :rascal: :rascal: innocent

I've just realised I have never had an all over massage :eeek:

I am exactly the same as this.
I do really love giving a massage, although I donâ€™t have a clue about what Iâ€™m doing, but the recipient never seems to mind. That said, I donâ€™t give a massage for a form of foreplay, if anything maybe after the event as a complete form of relaxation. I suppose it depends on the circumstances.
A friend went on a 3 day intensive course in London and said it was fantastic. I reckon I may put my name down for it next year. It would be good to know that I am doing it correctly.

blimey Dawn, right, we need to rectify this asap! biggrin

I absolutely adore massage, although these days I'm a selfish bitch and much prefer to be on the recieving end lol

:inlove:
I'm just wondering about this, as most of you will be aware I like soft play rather than full swap but i've never been asked/ offered about massage in a play situation dunno

25 Jul 2006

I love receiving a massage. I will only receive from someone I know well and trust though. It's a sensual and very personal thing, especially full body ;)
I like the relaxation, the feeling that all the aches and pains are going away.
I'm looking at doing some holistic therapies courses once I'm sorted financially as I've always wanted to go into that field.
All this talk of massage has made my back ache! lol

25 Jul 2006

We bought some lovely scented oil from a little village shop in yorkshir somewhere and its fab. Neil gives fantastic massages cos one of his exs was a beauty therapist or something... dunno

so she gave him a few hints and tips.
I'm not nearly patient enough to study how to do it at college and all that, respect to those who are naturally good at this sort of thing. Its a skill I lack.

I wonder whether that's why its not generally thought of as part of foreplay or 'swinging' as such... because it is very personal dunno

If its a really good strong massage, I can be so deeply relaxed its almost a catatonic state, full on 'gone', eyes glazed, ragdoll-like lol

Unless its with someone you know well or are 100% comfortable, maybe the deep relaxation is not such a good idea? :dunno:

25 Jul 2006

I'd possibly say, if you dont know the person well enough to be relaxed with them in that state then the likelyhood of letting them get me catatonic through massage is slim to none. I like to keep my wits about me at times when I dont know folk... so I'm likely to cringe up or tense... which kind of defeats the object really.
Can't damage be done if you tense up when being massaged?

ok this is going to come out all wrong but here goes:
i suppose it's cos when you meet with someone/people to play, you don't tend know them as well as a longer term partner...so for that reason i would say most people would want to give as much as recieve, make things 'equal' if you like, and if you sat down to give a massage, the person on the recieiving end might start feeling like they should be giving you something, or vice versa.
I guess what i'm trying to say is that if we were playing, we would want to make sure that whoever we were with were getting as much attention as they were giving us, so not all the attention was lavished upon one person, which is what happens when you give someone a massage.
It's fine for me n den to do this, cos we know if one of us gets a massage one night, then the other will another (although come to think of it, i'm STILL waiting...)
Come to think of it, if we had someone round and they said 'lie there while i massage you' i certainly wouldn't be complaining!
Right this is officially non-sensical, if anyone out there can rephrase this better for me please do, i know what i'm getting at, so maybe someone out there has my kind of mentality!
