If you want to know how to give a massage, congratulations. Massages are a very special act that can really bring two people closer together - whether for therapy or part of an intimate setting.
There are many aspects to giving the best massage possible. In different articles, we will go through different parts of the massage process.
For this one, we are going to talk about setting up a comfortable massage area. This is grossly underrated and crucial to getting a good massage.
For example, many people believe that a soft bed is good for a massage. This is not the case. When giving a massage, it is best if the receiver is on a firm, supportive surface. Comfort is very important too, of course - but don't forget "firm". In fact, a futon or other extra-firm surface would be the best possible scenario.
The reason a soft bed or chair doesn't work as well is because your body could bend and not support the receiver's body in certain places, which only puts excessive and unnecessary pressure on the joints.
Make sure, as a masseuse, that you are in a special and comfortable position with room to move. If you are in an awkward or difficult position, your limbs could go numb. It's a good idea to keep a pillow nearby if you need one.
Also, make sure your receiver is not against the wall so that you can straddle his back if necessary.
Then make sure the environment is as calming as possible. Do not massage where there is likely to be a lot of noise or distractions, as this dramatically detracts from the massage. You need to do massage using your polite hands and with jelly or oil. During massage process, massage taker should need to relax whole body without giving any strain.

As for clothing - the less there is, the better for the recipient. Naked would be ideal, but if your recipient is not comfortable, they could wear underwear and it would not seriously affect the massage. If you're giving a woman a massage, you could ask her to lie down facing down so that she can remove her bra without feeling exposed. Yes, you could work around a bra - but for a non-skilled person (and even a skilled one) - that only makes these techniques more difficult.
In general, the setting of your massage is very important. It may seem like a small thing, but it makes all the difference when giving an effective massage.
