To appropriately detail the combination of massage and sex is to define the correlation between massage and sex. In correlating, a distinction in each aspect of massage and sex must be portrayed.

Massage, in a brief excerpt from encyclopedic definition, as derived from French terminology, is described as the friction of kneading. Such phrasing has two sources of origin, in both Arabic and Latin. The Arabic reference is in the term of Massa, which is to touch, feel and handle; while the Latin, also terming such as Massa, refers to a mass of dough, or, as a treatment in the practice of soft body tissue manipulation, from a physical, functional, mechanical, medical, therapeutic, or emotional purpose of intent. Such intent could be a supportive measure toward the dual role of massage and sex. Massage is referred to as a manipulation. As an incorporation of all definitions combined, each component is accomplished by the actions of manipulation upon a human body, with forms of pressure, in the variations of structured, unstructured, stationary, moving, tension, motion, and vibration by the process implementing either manual or mechanical aids. Tissues of focus, through the application of massage, include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, connective tissues, lymphatic vessels and certain organs. Direct physically applied massage can be engaged through the application of hands, fingers, elbows, forearms and feet. It has been determined that there are in excess of over eighty variations of massage.

Sex, in another brief excerpt from encyclopedic definition, references the duality of male and female in regards to biology and reproduction. Male and Female sexed mating possess the capability in the production of offspring by processes of meiosis and fertilization. Each of the two sexes display an inherent attraction and desire for one another, which suggests propagation towards massage and sex. The process of communication, as to their respective forms of receptiveness in commencing the biological act of procreation, varies by diversities in biology. Where humans are concerned, the term sex has multiple variations in its definition. The first variation is in the clinical reference to the dichotomous state, or, in another sense, the sexual identity for the general purposes of biological and social aspects. Secondly, are the biological functionality and its effects.

In uniting the characteristics of massage and sex, a concluding and corresponding reference could well be defined as erotic massage. Once again, an encyclopedic definition as to the connotation of erotic massage is the application of physical massage techniques enacted for the purposes of eroticism, which, simply expressed, plays a realistic role in a couple's practice of making love. To best interpret massage and sex, as in the case of erotic massage, is to expand upon its effects in heightening levels of sensual pleasures and sexual gratification. In contrast to traditional massage practices, whereas the individual receiving the massage is draped in towels, the individuals, or, rather, the couple engaged in the mutual eroticism, defined, in plain terms, as massage and sex, are totally nude. The targeted areas of the body to be massaged are unlike those areas massaged in conventional settings. Erotic massage and sex involves massage of the groin and other intimate regions of the body, such as breasts, chest, armpits, ears, nape of the neck, as well as anal areas. As a result of this nature of sensual application, sexual arousal is highly stimulated and elevated.

Objectives in practicing erotic massage and sex serve two fold. Initially, libido is highly stimulated, from an enhancement through the erogenous zones. Secondly, erotic massage and sex cultivates an individual's ability to react sensually to such erotic stimulation.

Erotic massage and sex can also be portioned into two phases foreplay, which is the massage portion, and climatic gratification, in the form of the actual act of complete sexual interaction.

As a summarization, massage and sex, when engaged in such order, serves to increase the period of intimacy, through heightening sensitivity, increasing the level arousal, enhancing the fulfillment of pleasure, aids in the prevention of premature ejaculation, circulates erotic energy, and relaxes muscularity for prolonged eroticism and a longer period of pleasure.

Massage and sex can be supplement with certain natural oils, creams, lotions and personal lubricants to avoid any degrees of chaffing or irritation in highly sensitive areas.
