In past years, the popularity of Nuru Massage has reached new heights notably because of couples engaging in the modality to revitalize their physical and emotional intimacy and to explore new ways of closeness.

Nuru Massage can be a means of extensive foreplay and heightened arousal before sexual intercourse or perhaps rather a tool to give and receive love and pleasure and rediscover each other’s body inch by inch in a mindful and sensual erotic way.

Nevertheless, many couples starting with Nuru Massage don’t have any Nuru Body Slide or massage experience and need to learn the various techniques, body slides, and body positions involved from scratch.

Luckily, Nuru in its core form is just a lot about slow, sensual strokes, slides and glides and can easily be mastered by anyone without needing to be a professional massage therapist or acrobat. In fact, you don’t need to give massage. You can do that as an addition if you actually master massage techniques, but it’s surely not a must-do. In addition, you don’t need to contort yourself in the most exotic positions, which will only increase risks on hurting yourself or your partner.

For those who are not savvy with massage, a good rule to remember for Nuru is using soft tissue on soft tissue (for instance, the breasts sliding over the buttocks), soft tissue over hard tissue (for instance, the breasts or buttocks sliding over the shins or spine), and hard tissue over soft tissue (for instance, the side of the forearms over the calf muscles or buttocks).

Another thing beginners need to be aware of is that Nuru gel is a very slippery substance and can pose a risk of hurting yourself or your partner because of involuntarily slipping, sliding or gliding in uncontrolled ways across each other’s bodies. It’s also important to keep a watchful eye on Nuru gel that leaks on the floor or in the bathroom to prevent slipping and falling.

So, if you’re new to Nuru Massage it’s advised to first do the massage on the floor on a double-sized inflatable air mattress, which will prevent sliding away and falling off a bed, for instance. That is, when sliding off an air mattress that’s placed on the floor there will be much less chance of hurting yourself.

As for Nuru gel, it’s good to first experiment with not too much gel on each other’s bodies in order to learn how to work comfortably with it and also to find the right consistency of the gel you can pleasantly work with, which is especially the case if you would prepare Nuru gel for yourself at home. Also first test the Nuru gel you’ll be using on a small patch of skin to check for possible allergic reactions. Just leave the gel for about five minutes on your skin (and that of your partner) to see if all is fine.

An additional helpful means to learn what Nuru Massage is about and get some ideas of the techniques, moves, and positions, is to first watch some videos on the Internet, for instance on YouTube. We’ve listed some of those further below, which can be useful to get acquainted with a Nuru session build-up, with the different techniques involved, and with what’s possible in a session.

In the videos, the participants wear bikinis and swimwear (that’s to keep things within the boundaries of decency), but in reality at home (or when receiving a commercial session) you would want to take everything off, of course.

At any rate, it’s always best to do Nuru slow and mindfully, which doesn’t only gives more pleasure, but also avoids hurting yourself or your partner.
