And since men tend to carry tension above their shoulders, it’s an ideal fix for them, says Amanda Brand, a massage therapist at Euphoria Spa in NYC.

Titillating Towel Spank

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"> <span style="font-family:Arial">For ages, Russian spagoers have sworn by flogging to boost circulation and flush out toxins.  There, you would get lashed with branches, but you can make do in your home by using a warm, damp towel, says massage therapist Maiya Thompson, of Just Calm Down Spa, in NYC, where they offer a modern version of flogging. Dip a hand towel in lukewarm water, wring it out, then pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds (It shouldn’t feel scalding to the touch). Tell your guy to stand with his back to you. That way, he won’t know what areas you’re going to hit, which ups the thrill for both of you. Twist the towel, and grab both ends. Release one end of the towel, and and gently whip it a few times over his legs and arms, then move to the small of his back and, of course, his butt. Now let him do it to you.</span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"> </p><br /><p><br />Credit:ivythesis.typepad.com</p><br />

The Below-the-Belt Press

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"> <span style="font-family:Arial">European cultures tend to be less uptight than ours is, so it should come as no surprise that massages on the other side of the Atlantic venture farther south than they do here. But there’s a reason for it. You can get therapeutic benefits from loosening up your hop flexors (where the front of your upper thighs meet the hips). “Most people’s hip flexors lose flexibility from sitting for long periods,” says Caroline Rushworth, spa educator for Sothys Paris Spa in New York. To turn your man’s joints into jelly like they do in France, rub massage oil between your palms, then gently knead his hip flexors in a clockwise circular motion, creating friction and warmth. Once his muscles feel more pliable, increase the pressure, and trace small circles toward the extrasensitive groin area. After he’s been moaning in pleasure for a while, switch places so he can do you.</span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"> </p><br /><p><br />Credit:ivythesis.typepad.com</p><br />

Why is my V zone so itchy in winter?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"> <span style="font-family:Arial">Just as the skin on the rest of your body can become dry, chafed, and itchy due to low humidity and cold weather, so can the skin of your outer labia and vulva. Soothe it by applying an antibiotic ointment or petroleum-jelly product before bed, says Francesca Fusco, MD, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center, in New York City. Prevent the itching from returning by not soaping up too much down below – a slight lather is fine—since soap dehydrates skin. If your V zone isn’t better after three days, see your derm or gyno.</span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%"> </p><br /><p><br />Credit:ivythesis.typepad.com</p><br />
