How to Give an Erotic Massage: Massage Oils
A Brief History
Oils and aromatherapy have been about for a lengthy time. Just look in the Bible. Remember when Mary Magdalene anointed Jesus' feet? Not only was she applying important oils, but was performing so via massage. Mary knew the power of massage. It's a way to relax, relieve stress, show interest, and "rev the motor", so to speak.
Oils have been around a lot longer than Biblical occasions, although. About 2700 years before the birth of Christ, the Chinese had been utilizing herbs and burning oils.
The Egyptians used oils in the mummification process, then eventually applied the exact same herbs and oils to everyday life. In fact, Cleopatra used the exotic and erotic Jasmine oil to distract Marc Antony throughout business meetings (Ladies, take note!).
In India, practitioners of ayurveda, a form of medical therapy, employed the use of aromatherapy and massage. Greeks used oils for aromatherapy, cosmetics, and medicine. Romans utilized the oils after baths, and the Aztec had a vast array of herbs and plants. In 980 AD, in the Far East, the art of distilling alcohol led to the development of more modern-day perfumes.
I think it would not be too far-reaching to say that almost each culture at one time or another took benefit of nature's resources and used oils and massage.
How Do They Work?
Essential oils work in at a number of ways. First, and most likely most obvious, is scent. The nose is an incredible organ. Ever notice how a fleeting aroma wafting across the street can take you back in time 20 years, to when you first encountered that smell? You can recall that instant in time in vivid detail a lot more detail, in reality, than a photograph could bring back. Have you ever encountered a scent that reminded you of a particular individual? Have you ever discovered your self attracted to somebody and not known why, only to find out later it was the scent he or she was wearing that aroused your interest? There are good factors for that. The nose is straight hardwired to the brain.
When a scent is inhaled, the particles of the aroma are picked up by nerve endings at the back of the nose. The signal is then passed up to the brain, particularly to the limbic system.
The limbic system is home of the hypothalamus, which in turn houses the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland, among other things, is responsible for hormone release. See exactly where I am going with this?

There are different neurochemicals that are triggered by smell and trigger mood modifications. The first one is familiar to just about everyone- endorphine. Endorphin is the body's all-natural high. Endorphines are most commonly associated with pain control. Everyone has heard of the person who is shot and doesn't know it, or the person who has broken a limb and feels no pain. Thank the great hormone endorphine for that! Endorphines are actually stronger than morphine, which is most likely why the word breaks down as "endo", which means "within", and "phin", which indicates "morphine" literally the word means "the morphine within."
