Hello, darlings!

I have fantastic news! At long last, we’re back in our old digs at 3448 Cambie Street, just next door to the Park Theatre. ‘Course there’s nothing old about our space – it’s been freshly renovated and we’ve filled it with an even greater selection of tantalizing toys, gorgeous gifts and luscious lingerie for you and your lover.

   

Want to make your sweetheart feel totally loved and cared for? Treat him or her to an erotic massage. Not only does massage offer a range of health benefits for the mind and body, but it’s an amazingly sensual experience. And truth be told, giving an erotic massage is nearly as much fun as receiving one! In this month’s Honey Buzz, we’ll give you some ideas for sending your lover into sheer ecstasy with just the tender touch of your fingertips.

Also this month, do you toss out your old toys and start fresh when you start a new relationship? Or can you just give ‘em a good cleaning and get naked with a new lover? It’s a question a lot of our clients ask. You won’t find the answer in any Emily Post etiquette guide, but we’ll give you the straight goods.

Whether as the opening act or the evening’s main entertainment, an erotic massage arouses your lover’s senses, stimulates desire and helps create a deeper connection between the two of you.


Create a Sensual Mood Dim the lights, burn some scented candles or incense, put your favourite CD on repeat play and for heaven’s sake, turn off the phones. The key to a good massage? Warmth. Turn the heat up, drape your partner with towels warmed in the dryer and have him or her take a steamy, scented bath before you begin.

Communication is Key It sounds silly, we know, but avoid unwelcome surprises by making sure your partner knows the difference between traditional and erotic massage! Ask if he or she is ticklish or has any injuries you should avoid. During the massage, occasionally ask whether the pressure is firm enough, too firm, etc.

Massage Oil, Cream or Lotion - What’s Your Pleasure? A little massage oil or lotion reduces friction and lets you massage longer without getting tired. Pour a tablespoon of massage oil, lotion or cream into your hands, warm it for a minute or two, then apply it to your lover’s bare skin. Keep the bottle nearby in case you need to reapply.
Since oil is not latex-safe, you may want to switch to a water-based sexual lubricant when you reach the genitals. This way, if the massage heats up into something more, you can slip on a condom without concern.

Ready to Begin?Pick a space – floor, table, bed – that lets you reach all sides of your lover’s body. Have your honey lay face down and naked. To enhance skin-to-skin contact, you should be nude also. Sounds good already, right?

Massage his or her back, legs and feet using basic massage principles: keep hands in constant contact with your partner, repeat strokes several times using slow, rhythmic motions, proceed from long, gliding strokes to deeper ones, and practice symmetry (e.g. don’t do one leg but not the other).

Ask your lover to turn over. Provide an eye pillow or blindfold to arouse his or her sensations and enhance every touch. Massage the feet and legs, tease the genitals and inner thighs with brushing strokes, then move on to the abdomen, arms, hands, face and scalp before returning to the pleasure centre.

Keeping an eye on your partner’s arousal level, gradually ramp up from relaxing body rub to a more stimulating and intense sexual experience.

  • For her: When she’s lying on her back, place a well-lubed hand on her vulva, fingers pointing down. Push down so that you rub her clitoris on the way. Alternate hands and repeat. Have you watched her masturbate? If so, recreate her movements. Try different pressure levels and movements and watch her reaction to see what works best.
  • For him: Hold his testicles gently in one well-lubed hand. Form an “0” around the penis with the other hand and slide it up and down his shaft. Or stroke the shaft with one hand while moving the other hand in a twisting motion on the head.

To end the massage, cocoon your lover in a blanket or sheet and let him or her rest for a while.

Vary the Sensations Who says you can only massage with your hands? Apply a little flavoured massage oil or lubricant to sensitive parts and lick it off. Or use a feather or fingertip vibe to tease and tantalize.

Nervous about your technique? Don’t be. Your love and enthusiasm for pleasing your partner trumps professional ability any day!

Erotic Massage Toolkit
Must-haves for perfecting your erotic massage technique?

Massage oil, cream or lotion? Whatever your choice, Honey’s got you covered.

  • Calm your lover’s body and mind with light, non-greasy Kama Sutra Massage Oil. Choose from Healing Blend (soothing pine and juniper), Serenity (relaxing lavender and citrus), Soaring Spirit (cool mint), Pleasure Garden (rose and jasmine) or Sweet Almond.

  • Tasty without being sticky, Edible Naked Oils are flavoured naturally using only the finest food-grade ingredients. Choose from a variety of scrumptious flavors including caramel, cinnamon, creamsicle, kiwi-pineapple and raspberry.

  • Sweeten your touch with light and silky Kama Sutra Oils of Love. These greaseless, stainless and edible massage oils create a warming sensation when you rub them and heat up when you blow on them. Choose from cinnamon & spice, cherry almond, raspberry kiss, chocolate mint, vanilla crème, tangerine and cream, tropical mango or strawberry champagne.

  • Prefer a massage cream rather than oil? Divinely scented and edible Kama Sutra Massage Cream is available in four irresistible flavours. Or slather your lover in sweet sensations with edible Body Butter Massage Cream. Available in three taste-tempting flavours, this delightful body cream incorporates skin-softening moisturizers and a rich, buttery texture.

  • Let body heat slowly melt the uber-sensual Massage Bar as you caress your lover’s curves and muscles. The bar feels absolutely heavenly on bare skin and you’ll both enjoy the scrumptious scent and all natural ingredients.

  • Turn up the heat on your next massage with multipurpose Body Candles. They provide romantic light and sensual fragrance to the room, but drip the wax onto your lover’s skin and watch what happens next. The wax transforms into a glistening oil and penetrating body lotion. Candle, scent and massage oil in one product? Divine!

Q. I’ve just begun a relationship with a new lover. Must I toss all my sex toys and start over?
A. From a hygiene perspective, it’s never a good idea to share sex toys. If you have toys (e.g. vibrators) that have only ever been used on you, by all means keep them. Toys that you’ve shared with – or used on or in – your former partner? Those may be a different matter.

Silicone, acrylic or glass toys without mechanical parts can be sanitized by immersing them in boiling water for four minutes. Other toys, however, cannot be properly sanitized and therefore should be replaced. (TIP: if you’re planning to share toys, practice safe sex by using a fresh condom on them every time.)

More intangible than safety or hygiene, however, are your partner’s feelings. Some new lovers get that you had a sex life before them and, provided toys have been properly sanitized, probably won’t have an issue with them. Other people may be hurt or insulted if you use “used” toys in your sex play with them.

Bottom line? If you’ve used proper hygiene principles and toys have properly sanitized, you don’t necessarily need to replace them. In the end, however, it’s not worth jeopardizing a new relationship over. Communicate with your new lover and let his or her feelings be your guide.
