CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

great! -
w have been using the book ever since we got it... we really like it, it seems a little bit old, the pics are like from the 60s but is the type of content that won't change on 50 years...


Priceless instruction, buy this book! -
I am so glad that I found this book.

Gordon Inkeles has mastered the sensual massage and his book does an incredible job of instructing the reader. As someone who has recently dived into the world of massage, I found my technique greatly improved as a result of this book. To the reviewer who claimed that the pictures were dated - that makes no difference. The pictures are essential to helping the reader master the techniques in a way that words cannot.

I used to just dabble in massage. I thought buying a bottle of oil and rubbing my partner was good enough. This book has taught me how to correctly give a massage in a way that relaxes my partner and strengthens the bond between us - and it was so easy to understand! After reading this book and applying Gordon's techniques, I now realize that sensual massage is a critical way to bond with your partner, regardless of if you are the giver or the receiver.

If you are thinking about getting this book, stop thinking and buy it! I promise you won't be disappointed!



The book that changed my life. -
This review is written from the point of view of a licensed massage therapist who went in the business after reading this book.

First I would like to share the story of how thing book got into my hands. Everyone who has been in Provincetown, MA, will tell you it's a different town. I knew nothing about its fame when I first set my foot there which was because I was offered a job there. At the end of the season I already knew that visiting Provincetown and not getting something from a sex store was like visiting Rome and not going to see the Pope. So, set on buying a modest souvenir for myself, I marched in one of the four stores in town and looked around.

To cut the long story short, among the huge selection of accessories and books, my attention was attracted by a book labelled "The Art of Sensual Massage". I flipped through and decided to give it a shot. As a shy single lady unsure how to approach the subject of her affection, I thought that was a sensible choice. I had my souvenir and a couple of weeks to experiment the moves on friends before I became brave enough to suggest it to my crush.

It is very important to understand that this book is entitled the art of SENSUAL, not sexual massage. If you are looking for a book to teach you techniques focused on and around the loins, look elsewhere. There are a lot of tips and hints on how to make the touch intimate, private, just for you and your partner though.

A total beginner with massage, my first tries with the book on a few volunteers left me stunned. I was amazed how good it felt to them! This was also extremely satisfying to me to see the change. In a week I was hooked. In a month I was confident enough to offer it to my crush. It was a ... melting experience.

Remember: all touch feels good. That is, if you desire to touch and be touched. This book can be a very powerful tool in the hands of those who want to bring happiness and content to their partners. It presents a wonderful form of physical intimacy not involving sex. The descriptions/instruction is very clear, easy to understand, with great pointers and suggestions. There photos are quite helpful as well and the models are chosen well. The models are nude but none of what is shown is in bad taste. Have in mind that the pictures were taken a while back in time which explains why they are in black and white and of course the body hair.

The techniques described in the book are excellent. Even now, as a professional massage therapist I still use some of the techniques suggested in this book. It is not necessary to have in-depth knowledge of anatomy to practise at home and with a few exceptions, they are very safe. Massage is for pleasure, not for pain and the author does a great job conveying the idea. Here are a few hints how to improve your experience (some are mentioned in the book, some aren't).
-- Warm the oil before you start. Dipping it in the sink with hot water for 5-10 min makes all the difference in the world.
-- Work the muscles (avoid pressure on the bones).
-- Keep your hands on your partner. Stay connected and if you need to reapply oil, do it with one hand.
-- Use firm and confident strokes.
-- If you start causing pain, stop immediately.
-- Always stay off the spine, varicose veins, sprains, hurt muscle/skin.

I warmly recommend this book to caring couples who want to explore each other's sensuality and learn new ways to bring harmony, content and pleasure in their relationship. Even though I do not have the DVD to this book, I suggest you to buy it as well, especially if you have no prior experience in massage. I believe the book may be of interest even for massage therapists and their partners. It definitely won't teach them anything new technique-wise but the attitude is indeed inspiring and refreshing.

Fabulous. Everything you need is here. -
Having purchased many massage books over the years I still find this one, my first, to be a great inspiration. Inkeles' love for massage really comes through and you are able to get right into the technique--usually a few minutes after you open the book! Beware of some of the older editions of "The Art of Sensual Massage" which were printed on low quality paper. The photos suffer. The Arcata Arts edition ... is much improved throughout and has many updates to the text.

Indeed, this truely is THE essential massage book, especially for beginners.

Great book, works on many levels -
Whether you are looking for a professional masseur or a sex therapist you will LOVE this book. The techniques absolutely do not disappoint. Great relaxation through sensuality. This book is particularly easy to get into if you are a beginner in massage.
