Couple doing relaxing oil caresses in different positions at home

8 Relaxing Caresses for Couples

Lower the lights in your bedroom. Warm some oil. These eight positions let you exchange slow caresses with your partner. Use your hands to apply the oil and rub the shoulders, back and legs. The movements are all done at a calm pace. You take turns giving the touches and receiving them. Match your breathing so you move together. This can help release tightness from daily activities. You do not need any special skills. Pay attention to what feels good for both of you and adjust as you go.

1. Chair Position ✨

Cost: $$At homeCute mode • 🌶️🌶️

Action

Sit facing your partner with legs crossed. One person sits in the lap of the other. Warm oil in your palms. Spread it on the shoulders. Use circular motions down the back and then up the arms. Switch roles after several minutes. Keep your eyes on each other during the movements.

Pro-Tip

Match your breathing to the hand movements. Take a breath in as your hands move up the body and breathe out as they move down. This keeps the pace slow and steady for both of you.

Spicy Twist

Extend the circles lower down the body to the top of the legs with lighter finger pressure on the skin.

3. Side Lying Strokes ✨

Cost: $At homeCute mode • 🌶️🌶️

Action

Have one partner lie on their side with the upper leg bent at the knee. The other partner kneels next to them. Use long strokes with your hands from the calf area up to the hip. Follow the body shape with your hands. Match the breathing of the person lying down. Move into a close hold after the strokes.

Pro-Tip

Choose this one if back pain is an issue. The side position reduces pressure on the lower back and makes it easier for the receiver to stay comfortable.

Spicy Twist

Include light strokes on the inner part of the upper leg during the upward movements.
