i did it before with nude ppl like that

I have never received nor given a massage, but I would think that I would prefer to be uncovered and the giver should be how they are most comfortable.

When you're being massaged, do you prefer to be covered, or completely nude? Draping a massage client with towels or sheets is taught at all massage schools, and is required by most official licensing authorities. Each area`s massage board wants to be certain that no licensed massage therapist even gives the appearance of offering any sexual services, because so many people still automatically equate nudity with sexuality. But those draping rules apply only if the therapist is charging for the massage. If no money is exchanged, then no business is being conducted, and no one`s massage license can be rescinded. Simply stated, if the massage is free, then no draping is required. Both the giver and the receiver can be completely nude, and both will enjoy the session much more. When I was in private practice, I gave most of my massages and all of my weekend massage workshops in nudist resorts. Everyone was perfectly comfortable with his or her own nudity and the nudity of others, so no draping was needed, and I could remain as nude as my clients and my students. Of course the environment in which the massages or lessons were given was always warm enough for nudity, whether indoors or outdoors. Now that I`m retired, I still give massages and massage lessons with no draping, so everyone is comfortably nude. The only difference now is that all the sessions are free. In the home Suzanne and I recently bought in warm and sunny Naples, Florida, I keep massage tables both indoors and outdoors in our secluded garden. The year-round mild weather and the total privacy permit nude massages anywhere on our property, even in the middle of winter. Group members should write to us when they expect to be visiting the Naples area, and we`ll arrange for your free nude massages or massage lessons. Until then, please add a reply to say whether you prefer to be draped or completely nude.

Which is your favorite oil to use for massage? I've tried dozens of massage oils in my 19 years of practice, and I've found that ordinary coconut oil has the best combination of qualities. By fortuitous coincidence, it's also one of the cheapest and most accessible oils suitable for massage. Many people are allergic to various nut oils, but no one seems to be allergic to coconut oil. It has the ideal degree of slipperiness combined with the ideal degree of friction as you glide your hands across the skin. Coconut oil at room temperature is actually a solid; you liquefy it by warming a bowl of it for a minute in a microwave or in warm water. (Applying the oil while it's warm also enhances the receiver's pleasure.) The oil's solid state means it won't soon get rancid like other oils. It doesn't stain the sheet on the massage table either, as other oils do. You don't even have to shower the oil off after the massage. Coconut oil can be absorbed by the skin, leaving the skin soft and malleable. My wife Suzanne never showers off the oil after her massage, which is one reason her skin is as soft as a baby's. You can buy inexpensive coconut oil in the cooking-oil section of most supermarkets. You use it straight, so there's no need to get several ingredients and mix them to create your own formula. If your market doesn't carry the oil, get it (at a slightly higher price) at a health-food store. Coconut oil is used in many processed foods, so you know it's edible. That makes it ideal for any sensuous massages you might offer your spouse or your life partner. You can finish each session by kissing and licking your favorite body parts as a nurturing expression of your love. Don't try that with most oils used for massage--especially baby oil, which is derived from petroleum. That's only my experience with massage oils. I encourage others in the Massage group to share their recommendations, and we'll all wind up giving better massages to our partners and friends. Please add your massage oil experiences here.

Massage Benefits Are More Than Skin Deep This is the gist of an article by RONI CARYN RABIN, published in The New York Times on September 20, 2010. Does a good massage do more than just relax your muscles? To find out, researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles recruited 53 healthy adults and randomly assigned 29 of them to a 45-minute session of deep-tissue Swedish massage and the other 24 to a session of light massage. All of the subjects were fitted with intravenous catheters so blood samples could be taken immediately before the massage and up to an hour afterward. To their surprise, the researchers, sponsored by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a division of the National Institutes of Health, found that a single session of massage caused biological changes. Volunteers who received Swedish massage experienced significant decreases in levels of the stress hormone cortisol in blood and saliva, and in arginine vasopressin, a hormone that can lead to increases in cortisol. They also had increases in the number of lymphocytes, white blood cells that are part of the immune system. Volunteers who had the light massage experienced greater increases in oxytocin, a hormone associated with contentment, than the Swedish massage group, and bigger decreases in adrenal corticotropin hormone, which stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. The study was published online in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. The lead author, Dr. Mark Hyman Rapaport, chairman of psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences at Cedars-Sinai, said the findings were “very, very intriguing and very, very exciting — and I’m a skeptic.”
