Many people think that for a full body massage, or even worse (shudder), a “totally dry” full body massage, it’s good to have a cold cream or body lotion on hand. Let’s say you want to reach a sexual point with this full-body massage. In this case, you need a full body massage oil to absorb and soften some of the skin to maintain gentle and consistent movements in the massage. Also, you want your whole-body massage oil to be something that you only use for a sensual full-body massage. Let’s say you want to inhale the scent of the oil and show where you can vibrate your body. You will want to walk into that room the next day, smell the faint lingering scent of massage oil, and smile as you remember what you did in that room the night before. Put a little bit of this massage oil behind your ear, and when you and he are out on the town, at a party or business meeting, or even at a restaurant, your partner will catch that scent as he walks by and drive you crazy until he leaves you alone. Lubriderm Cream will probably work even better for you!
Let me help you here. Step back and look at the big picture.
How do they work?
Essential oils do a variety of things. First and perhaps most notably, is smell. The nose is an amazing organ of the body. Have you ever had the experience of a short-lived scent wafting nearby that takes you back to 20 years ago when you first noticed it? You can recall it instantly and vividly, more than a photograph could ever. Have you ever seen a scent that reminds you of a particular person? Have you ever been attracted to someone and not known why, only to discover later that the smell they exuded sparked your passion? There is a good reason for this. Your nose has a direct and consequential connection to your brain. Learn more here: Body Massage. When you inhale aromas, the scent compounds are captured by nerve endings at the back of your nose. The signals are then transmitted to your brain, specifically to your limbic system. The limbic system is the seat of your hypothalamus, which houses your pituitary gland. To name a few points, the pituitary gland is responsible for the secretion of hormones. Do you know what I mean? Different petrochemicals are activated by smells, which cause mood changes. Most people know the first of these, the endorphins, the body’s natural high. Endorphins are most commonly associated with pain control. We all know people who don’t even notice when they get shot with a gun or feel no pain when they injure their arm or leg. You can thank the fantastic hormone endorphins for that. Endorphins are more potent than morphine, which is probably why you can pick them out from the words “endow” (meaning “inside”) and “fin” (meaning “morphine”). Essentially, this word means “morphine inside.” But endorphins’ role goes beyond pain control. Increased levels of this hormone are also observed after exercise and during sex. It’s associated with feelings of invincibility, fulfillment, peace, and reconciliation with the body.
