Find a Relaxing Location for Him
Location matters, ladies. You don't want to ask your man to sit on the kitchen table for his massage, because the wood will end up hurting his stomach. Place him somewhere comfortable, like on the couch or on your bed. Make sure that he's as cozy as can be before you show off your skills.

Use Massage Oils and Music
Don't put your hands on your partner without prepping him beforehand. Head to the mall to buy some delicious smelling massage oils, so you'll please his nose as well as his back. If you want to please his ears as well, then you should play some soothing music. It's not the time for hardcore metal, even if it's his favorite genre. Play the type of music you'd listen to during yoga or while trying to lull a baby to sleep.

Place Towels under His Forehead and Feet
If you want to make your boyfriend feel extra cozy, you should place towels beneath his forehead and feet. It's the best way to mimic a massage table, since you probably don't have one in your home.

Use Common Massaging Techniques
There are a few different techniques you should use when giving a massage. The best way to start is by making small circles with your palms. When you're ready to switch it up, then you can try kneading with your knuckles on his back. If you know anything about muscle lifting, you should try that technique as well. They all work wonders.

Don’t Push on Him Too Hard
The point of a massage is to relax your partner, not to hurt them. You don't actually need to push down as hard as you think you do. Of course, the best way to find out if you're applying enough pressure is to ask your partner how they feel. If they want you to push harder, then do so.

One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.
Use Slow, Even Strokes
You don't want the massage to be over after five minutes. It's not a race, which means that you should use slow, even strokes. The longer the massage lasts, the better. Besides, the slower the strokes are, the more peaceful and relaxing the massage will feel.

Avoid His Spine
You don't want to end up hurting your partner beyond repair. That's why you should avoid his spine at all costs. Damage to the spine can impact a person's ability to walk, which is the last thing that you want to do. So play it safe and work around the spine.
Your boyfriend deserves a treat for being so sweet to you, and a massage is the best way to repay him. It won't cost you a dime, but it'll make him feel like he has the best girlfriend in the world. Does your boyfriend ever give you great massages?
