1. Oil or lotion – This lubricates the skin of the one receiving the massage as well as the hands giving to reduce friction. This can also moisturize skin as well.
2. Large towels of Bath sheets – These serve to cover the person receiving the massage and soak up any excess oils.
3. Lightweight blankets – It may sound strange but the experience begins before the massage. Warming some soft Light weight blankets can increase the sensations and promote relaxation.
4. Pillows/cushions – Pillows help create a comfortable place to lie down but they accomplish much more. Pillows can be used to help position the person and assist in holding the position during the massage. Under the head and neck as well as under the knees are good when the receiver is on their back. One under the pelvis helps when they are on their stomach.
5. Candles – Overhead lighting may be overwhelming in intimate situations. Lighting should be dim enough to promote calm but bright enough to still see.
6. Music – No Eminem remixes allowed here. Massage music should be on low volumes and not require much thought (in other words minimal lyrics). Nature sounds can also work here too.
There are other items that can be included in massages such as massage gloves and warming hearts. These are not required for a massage but are good if you have them to add spice and pleasure later.
Note: Warm blankets, music and lighting are all related to atmosphere. As I said the experience begins before the massage.
