Give a Sensual Foot Massage
Are the bottoms of your feet ticklish? Feet contain a higher number of nerve endings than most other parts of your body, making them especially sensitive to touch. Add some massage lotion and a few long, languorous strokes, and you've found a sensual way to connect with your partner after a long day.
However, foot massage doesn't just feel good -- it can actually improve your sex life. Massage relaxes you and increases the flow of blood within your body, making it easier for you to become aroused. Foot massage also plays into our human tendency to eroticize the unfamiliar; because feet are often neglected, paying special attention to them can make for an extremely sensual experience for both the mind and the body.
At night, after your partner showers (or, if he or she is a morning bather, soak your partner's tootsies in a pan of warm water), have him or her lie down on the sofa or sit in a cozy chair. Turn down the lights, put on some soft music and sit near your partner's feet. Using a peppermint- or lavender-scented foot lotion (available at most drugstores), slowly rub each of your lover's feet using long, sensual strokes. Be sure to first warm the lotion in your hands, then rub it into the soles of each foot, using your thumbs to massage the arches and balls of the feet. Don't neglect the toes -- spend time caressing each little piggy. By the time you're finished, your partner should be happy, relaxed and in just the right mood to "go to bed" early!
