The Perfect Foot Massage

All fetishism aside, the feet are the most neglected part of the human anatomy.  Although much stigma has been attached in attributing sensualist pleasure to your peds, a great foot massage can be the source for the opening for a more intimate evening between and your girlfriend.

So, when your gal is stressed, gentlemen, instead of going for the obvious, kick her shoes off and give a much needed respite from life’s daily grind.

Supplies

Bath of warm water – preferably in a basin

Bath oil or salts – Lavender and or peppermint seems the most popular

Towel

Candles

Her favorite relaxing music

Pillow

Body oil or foot cream

Atmosphere is Key

Dim the lights, strike a match to her favorite scented candles and play some relaxing music. 

Relax Your Lass

You want to win points? It starts with a good foot soak.  Find her favorite bath oils and liberally add them to a warm bath.  Let her soak her feet for no more than eight to ten minutes.  You are looking to relax her not make her feet pucker or swell.  While she is soaking, bring her a cup of her favorite beverage.  After her feet are soaked, gently dry with a clean and plush towel.

Assume the Position

Have her lie down either on a couch, recliner. Prop a pillow under her head and get ready to treat her to something special.  Apply the lotion or crème. Remember, many women have sensitive feet so short, surprising and erratic touching can make the experience painful and freakishly awkward instead of the gateway to a more intimate evening.  Ask her where her sensitive spots are, ask her if there is any painful areas and be aware of them. 

Firm, but Gentle

Once you know where her sensitive areas are, begin with firm yet gentle strokes on the top of her foot. This increases circulation and gives her the opportunity to get used to your touch.  Start at the toes and work your way to the ankle, gently cupping your free hand under the bottom of her foot.  Gently retrace your steps back.   Repeat this step four to six times.

Rotate the Ankle

Surprisingly this is an important step, especially if your gal is a bit of a jock and has rotated that ankle, injuring a very important support joint.  Cup your hand under the heel to brace the foot and ankle and with the other gently rotate the foot in a clockwise motion. Repeat this seven times and then rotate the foot counter clockwise.  You will find over time that any stiffness she may have had will go away.

This Little Piggy

It’s time for the toe pulls and squeezes which is a great way to calm and relax the recipient.  With one hand, gently hold the bottom of the foot, and with the thumb and forefinger, firmly pulling each toes from the base to the tip.  It is best to start with the Big toe first and work your way to through the smaller digits.  This is a slow jam, gentlemen and a sure fire way to eliminate any remaining tension your gal may have.  Make sure you roll the toes between you thumb and forefinger gently squeezing as you go.

After you pull, it is time to slide.  After each toe is pulled, then slide your fingers in-between each toe.  Consistency is key, so start with big toe and work your way through the remaining digits.

Arch d’ Triumph

It’s time to relax those over stressed arches with the arch press. Needless to say she should be pretty relaxed by this time, however keep in mind that the arch is often the most sensitive and therefore ticklish.  Although sometimes uses as a means to an end, this is not the time to tickle your gal after she has been lead into a state of relaxation. 

So, hold her foot as you did in the previous step.  Taking the heel of your free hand, knead out, the remaining tension and stress, by sliding your hand from the ball of her foot towards her heel and return to first position.  Repeat this five to six times. 

Begin the Begin

Repeat step one. This is an excellent way to end the massage. If the mood arises, it will hopefully open up the door to a more intimate evening.

Friendly Words of Advice

Make sure her knees are not locked as this will inhibit the circulation. If desired, you can place a pillow or pillow roll under the knees during the massage.

The agony of de’ feet.  The foot has many never endings that a layman may not understand.   So the correct pressure is important. Pinching, tugging, tickling and excessive pulling are going to ruin the mood and give her a sense that you care about her needs.   

Be prudent in the amount of cream or oil.  Too little causes friction, too little makes things too slippery and pleasurable.

All the best, gents!
