Find a store which sells massage oil. Don't go to someplace like spencers and
buy love oil. I know somewhat about what I am saying since my hands still
smell like jasmine from the oil I just used on my girlfriend. I've found that
almond oil makes a very good base, that doesn't get sticky. (The oil I was
using tonight was almond oil with some jasmine oil as fragrance.)
You could try calling some local massage parlors (real ones) to find out if
they can give you any pointers towards whats good and where you can get it.

In case of fallout, reinsert and take shorter strokes,
it's advice that's worked well for me.jack@cs.glasgow.ac.uk (Jack Campin) (01/17/90)

If you're looking for a body oil with a nice smell, try Neutrogena Body Oil. It has a very light, pleasant scent. -Jennifer

Well, it depends on how much you like Italian food. :-) Seriously, extra-virgin olive oil is a good massage oil as far as its ingredients, its lubricating characteristics, and its safety in case you decide to, ahem, nibble on anything later on, but you might not want to spend the rest of the evening with someone who smells like a pasta salad. >How about some ideas? Thanx. Good ol' Vaseline Intensive Care body lotion has a very good feel and makes the skin feel nice and soft. Last night was "skin night" at our house -- we have noticed that We're Not As Young As We Used To Be, so one night (or more) a week is Skin Night. For us, we started by giving one another a bath, scrubbing each other's feet and backs and all the parts that feel sooooo good when someone who cares about you rubs them with a nice scrubby washcloth. Then, with the skin all clean and moist, we doused one another with the emollients. I got rubbed with the Vaseline Intensive Care, but Kim got to try a new acquisition (a gift from my sister, who works for Estee Lauder): White Linen body creme. It has a pleasant aroma and feels very nice. One touch: it's winter, even in California, and we've noticed that it *really* helps to warm the massage cream (or oil) before using it. Immersing it in hot tap water for a few minutes should do the trick. (Kim, who didn't think it was worth doing the first time I did it, really missed it last night, but we had pretty much run out of hot water... we joke that if she put a lobster in the bath with her, we could cook dinner while she was cleaning up.) In a pinch, though, you can always just rub her down with your bare hands. Skin on skin is nice enough...
