Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simply say: "Try this for me. No strings attached" The most important answer to the question of how to do massage for your partner is not to be ashamed of anything, do not miss a single centimeter of his body, and to do everything with a sense of movement and desire. And, of course, if you just take the first steps, it is necessary to observe some rules to avoid ending massage session earlier than you plan to. Your partner may reach an orgasm and just go to sleep. Or, on the contrary, he will wait for a long time, but then "biology" will take its course ... and "bye, massage, hello, sex." You were so ready for a massage. This is perhaps the only time when sex can upset, right?
