Learn how to celebrate your partner every day, not just once a year.

Valentine’s Day has come and gone. Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt personally victimized by this holiday… everyone? That’s what we thought.

Valentine’s Day is cherished by many, but how many couples genuinely enjoy the one day a year tradition of ostentatiously flaunting your love and affection that both partners work at and live every day? We’re not saying that we should all give up on the day of hearts and chocolate, but maybe learn to mix it up more often and fan that flame on the daily.

Beginner’s Guide to Bodyrubs

The goddess of body rubs herself from Elite Indulgence has taken a (very) hot minute to offer up some of her best tricks to bring your sexy moments to the next level. “Bodyrubs are great on a number of different levels.” She starts by telling us that Bodyrubs are more about the truth of intimacy and eroticism, then they are about sex. “Using Bodyrubs as a platform to improve communication between couples is a super fun way to work on something that we all need a little practice with.”

Start out by listening to your partner about where they want to be touched. Follow that up paying close attention to their physical cues, if they moan, or lean into you while you’re rubbing a certain area, focus on that area and then expand out. Begin by just using your fingertips and slowly ease into a full-body contact. This will teach you how to listen to your partner’s words and their bodies. Which is a massive building block of intimacy.

“Intimacy is a type of trust” she goes on to say, “showing your partner that you’re capable of truly listening to them will build that trust.”

Bodyrubs, Intimacy, and Arousal

Maybe you’ve heard of edging? The internet’s latest sex craze is something that can quickly incorporate itself into a body rub. Bringing your partner to the edge of ecstasy and oiling back gently, builds excitement and trust in a relationship. Being able to identify with your partner’s body that closely helps to build stronger bonds and orgasms.

Creating a bit of sexual tension can be used to increase desire as well, making your very own little thirst trap- no matter how long you’ve been together. Bodyrubs are great for couples who struggle with sustaining a regular sexual appetite because you’re getting to have your imagination engaged without having to seal the deal. Giving you both a sense of delicious anticipation for what could happen next time.

Whether or not you plan on bringing your body rub to homerun territory doesn’t actually matter. Creating more opportunities to touch your partner and enjoy being touched by them isn’t just good for your selfie, it can also help up the release of hormones and neurotransmitters that make you happy and help you relax. Bodyrubs are a spectacular way to reduce muscle tension while at the same time staying active yourself. Which isn’t just good for your relationship, but great for your everyday life.
