Your Hands are the Way to His Heart

Whenever you’re in the mood, take him to a quiet, private spot. Warm a few drops of a premixed oil in the palms of your hand, then begin the massage. It’s better to do this naked.

He’s had a hard day at the office:  Apply tangerine, fennel or ylang-ylang, working the first solar plexus — the areas between the breast and navel which is the seat of the emotions– then the shoulders, neck and area around the heart where men are often uptight.

He’s worked out too much at the gym:  Using pine, rosemary, lavender, fennel, eucalyptus, massage back, shoulders, lower back (men get tension in the lower back, women in the upper back because of the way they’re built) and back of the legs.

He hasn’t worked out enough at the gym:  Apply lemon, thyme, patchouli or juniper and massage over the entire body concentrating on areas that need toning, such as the legs and solar plexus area. 

He needs some of his rough spots smoothed out:  Massage sweet almond oil, patchouli, sandalwood, geranium or lavender over the entire body, especially the dry areas, such as the arms, legs and the heels of the feet. 

He’s not in the mood and says “Not tonight, dear”:  Try patchouli, vetiver (a derivative of from the roots of wild grass known as oil of tranquility), lemon or sandalwood, massage entire body, then ask him to return the service!
