Whether you’re looking to reconnect with a partner or enjoy some self-care, this guide will help you create the perfect massage experience using our luxurious sensual massage products. 

sensual massageUnderstanding Skin Hunger

The term “skin hunger” refers to our biological hard-wired need for human contact. During the worst of the pandemic, many people became touch-deprived, causing anxiety, depression, and an overall increase in stress. In the midst of these difficult times, Wicked Sensual Care was working on mindfully crafting a line that would be a conduit for reestablishing connection. This wildly popular collection is growing, too, with three new sensual massage oils debuting September 2024.

The Essentials of Sensual Massage

1. Get Your Body and Mind Ready

Before starting a sensual massage, it’s crucial to prepare both your body and mind. Take a relaxing walk, have a hot shower or bath, and start to unwind. Creating a space where you can decompress is essential, and if you’re with a partner, this is where you begin to reconnect.

“Take a relaxing walk, have a hot shower or a bath, and start to unwind. Create a space to allow yourself to decompress, and if you’re with a partner, here’s a space to begin to reconnect.” – jessica drake

2. Set the Mood

Create your own personal spa by choosing a clutter-free space with no distractions and dimming the lights. Appeal to all the senses: use soft sheets and blankets for a sensual tactile experience, light candles or burn incense, and play relaxing music. 

3. Incorporate Pillows or Wedges

Supporting different parts of you or your partner’s body can enhance the massage experience, especially if it leads to more intimate activities. Using pillows of different sizes and firmness or specialized wedges can change angles and pressure, altering sensations and comfort.

4. Choose Your Favorite Massage Cream

Select a massage cream that suits your mood and intention for the session. Wicked Sensual Care offers a range of luxurious creams designed to enhance your experience:

  • Stripped + Bare: Fragrance-free formula for those with scent sensitivities who want to create raw moments of connection. You can add your own custom essential oil blend to this base massage cream, too!
  • Orange Blossom + Patchouli: This essential oil and fragrance blend provides a sultry and sensual relaxation experience that promotes a sense of calm and closeness.
  • Sage + Sea Salt: This blend offers a relaxing, grounding, yet rejuvenating experience that promotes energetic partnership.

Before applying the cream, rub it in the palms of your hands to warm it up.

5. Start the Massage

Don’t worry if you’re not a trained masseuse. Begin with long, slow strokes on your partner’s back. Ask if they would like a harder or softer touch, pay attention to their body language, and listen for cues. Ask them where they’d most like to be touched. Experiment with using the palms of your hands, your knuckles, or your thumbs as you relax and soothe them. If you are solo, acknowledge that this is a massage, not just an application of nourishing cream. Check in with your body for sore spots and tension, and touch and caress yourself accordingly.
