Nuru Massage!!

Nuru is a silky, sliding erotic massage style that uses the fully naked body to massage and stimulate your partner (or each other). Unlike most other body work, with nuru, which directly translates to “slippery”, everyone is completely nude and covered in an ultra-slippery gel and then the masseuse (or both partners) uses their entire body to rub, stroke, and grind against their partner.

1. Lightens the Mood – Let’s get this out of the way early – while erotic massage can be wildly sensual it can also be a great way to let go of pretense and enjoy a laugh with your partner. You’re both literally naked and slip-sliding all over (and sometimes off) the bed. You should both feel comfortable acknowledging the awkwardness and indulge in the goofs and giggles anytime it happens. Laughing together is a great way to release any tension or embarrassment and ease into the experience without any worry about what you look like.

2. Helps with Stress Relief – Speaking of tension, massage in general is one of the most holistic practices we can use to improve our health, both physical and mental. Skin to skin contact, like massage, cuddling, and sex, releases oxytocin which can help reduce feelings of stress and trigger a greater feeling of wellbeing.

3. Encourages Blood Circulation – Massage has been proven to increase blood flow across the body. The variety of different strokes and movements of nuru’s slippery massage, from light brushes of the breasts or fingers to the firmer friction of shoulders and thighs, can help blood flow more freely to the skin and muscles of the body. You know what blood flow also leads to? Arousal.

4. Turns You On – Yes, having a naked body rubbing all over you can take some people from 0 to 60 all on its own, but nuru is more focused on the all-over body experience. It’s a slower process that does heavily focus on stimulating erogenous zones, but is more about the journey than the destination. So it gives those who might take longer to rev their engine time to catch up.
