Give a sensuous foot massage.

We pretty much can guarantee that anyone – woman or man – will love a foot massage. But massaging the foot involves more than just kneading the foot.

Our feet take a beating in daily life. Who wouldn't want to lie down at the end of the day and receive a foot massage?

The first stroke in a good foot massage is called a circulation stroke. The name implies that it increase blood flow in the tissues of the foot.

Grasp the foot with one hand and stroke the top with the other. You can use light pressure along the top of the foot. Moderate pressure might be required on the bottom of the foot to prevent tickling your partner.

Continue rubbing and stroking your partners entire foot. Twenty times on the top and ten times on the bottom is nice.

The next step is to rotate the foot. When you are doing this, only slight movement is necessary. This move is not a stretch; it is just a movement to relax the foot and ankle.

Then you need to stroke the foot. This type of stroke won’t relax just the feet; it will relax the whole body.

Start with your fingertips right where the toes meet the foot. Use both hands to press down between the bones of the foot. Slide your fingers up the foot toward the ankle, when your fingers reach ankle level, wrap your fingers around the ankle and massage the front of the ankle joint with your thumbs.

You should generally look for muscle tissue to rub when giving a massage. This area is firm with bone, tendons and ligaments. Try to do your best to treat the muscle tissue you find with thorough kneading.

The next step is to flex and rotate the bones of the foot. This stroke feels really nice when the top of the foot is sore from standing or walking.

Press the heel of each hand on the outer edges of the foot. You will be curling the top of the foot. When you curl the foot you will be able to massage the muscle between the bones with your thumbs. While curling the foot you will also end up pressing your fingertips into the underside of the foot. This feels nice as well.
