A good introduction to basic massage plus tips and tricks to take your intimate time to the the next level.

Hehe both ryan and I benefited from this one. I need to up my massage game and this definitely helped

A wonderful book! A friendly rather than preachy guide to what your - and your partner's - body really likes, "Press Here!" is a great introduction to the world of sensual massage. If it's your very foray into this - the book may turn out to be a real eye-opener - and a source of a plethora of new, mind-blowing pleasures.

Book Review by Mary Mikawoz

Book Available July 27, 2021

For once, I am going to do a short review of a book. I would rather have this book speak for itself. The title clearly gives the subject-matter away - “Press Here! Sensual Massage for Beginners: Your Guide to Pleasure and Intimacy.”

It is a good first step in those who are either young beginners or who are older and may have had hang-ups from religious doctrine and societal upbringing. It is non-gender specific so many variations of massage before love-making can be learned and practiced to be inclusive of many combinations.

The book has a number of drawin images to explain important body parts.

It also includes a number of flow charts to explain the steps in how to proceed, however, as I was using an e-reader, they were hard to follow because of the restrictions of the page formatting. If you know you may have to go back and forth between pages to follow the arrows, you will understand it a lot easier.

I would recommend this book for people who are willing to explore their sexual experiences.

I give the book a 3.75 out of 5 for attempting this delicate subject. However, I would have appreciated more information in explaining the actual various techniques of massage.

Press Here! SENSUAL Massage for Beginners is a well written how to guide. I would suggest reading on a device larger than your phone or get a physical copy to get the most out of the information being shared. The books would be great to read with a partner or by yourself

Recieved copy from #NetGalley, thank you for the opportunity to read.

Tune in to and explore your sensual side with the help of the latest title from Quarto Publishing's Press Here series: Sensual Massage for Beginners by Sydney Price

Breaking down the art of sensual touch it guides us how to use massage, knowledge of self and boundaries to boost self pleasure; intimacy and bonds with others,

Other benefits of sensual massage according to the introductory guide include heightened sexual expression, satisfaction and confidence. The positive impact of the feel good hormones generated on our general health and well being need to be factored in too.

First, however we need to understand a few principles about the path to sensual nirvana. Chapter by diagrammed chapter Sensual Massage for Beginners navigates us through the key ones: the importance of boundaries; giving and receiving consent; the anatomy of arousal; importance of ambience and environment; sensual sensation tools, techniques and rituals; and, last but not least, self pleasure principles.

The author emphasises sensuality and sexuality differs for everyone. So, rejecting the cookie cut out approach they provide exercises, games, prompts, questions and tools throughout specifically designed to help us identify, chart and confidently express our individual needs, likes and desires, and, equally important, respect those of others.

Press Here Sensual Massage For Beginners is an inclusive useful addition to any self care toolkit or bookshelf. Recommended.

I absolutely love these series of books. I have read other massage books in this series and so I was super excited to try this one out! This is a really accessible and fun guide to sensual massage, and teaches you everything you need to know without being complicated. It's great that it covers areas including consent (fab!) and information about our anatomy before delving into how to make the sensual massage a great experience. Highly recommend,.

Press Here! Sensual Massage for Beginners is a practical book that introducing the skills required to enjoy giving and receiving sensual massages It covers consent and wider issues as well as the practical side. Small games are used to help teach the skills and to add the fun element. It is a great way to develop intimacy in established relationships. It really helps you to feel and think about everything you experience. Overall a good informative book especially useful for adding a new dimensions to couples who have been together for some time.

Press Here! Sensual Massage for Beginners is a great guide to all touch that feels good.
Very similarly to another book in the series that I've read - Press Here! Kama Sutra for Beginners, we begin from the very beginning, covering important topics that usually get missed. Here we begin with consent and how to practice it with the person with whom we want to share the experience of massage. All explanations are accompanied by easy small games that help drive the point in by making you really think about what you're learning and feeling, and can be very helpful even to couples that have been together for a while now.
After consent is covered in depth, we're told about the basics of anatomy and more specifically where touch (usually) feels good. And also about the touch techniques we can use for different body areas. The last part of the book combines everything else, by explaining how to make the massage a special event from start to finish.
The book touches on the erotic side of massage as well, so I wouldn't recommend it for younger readers. Aside from that, I think it's a great way to learn more about touch and consent regarding the body (yours and other's). The added images are very diverse and together with the inclusive language make the book very accessible.
I strongly recommend this book to everyone, over the age of 16-18 (it really depends on the individual, thus no clear-cut lines).

*Thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds for providing me with an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.*

Press Here! Sensual Massage for Beginners is an interesting guide to massage. It goes through lots of areas such as consent and mindfulness before even touching upon the actual massages. There are some very anatomical artworks that may be best read away from the prying eyes of others!

The book was slightly difficult to follow on the NetGalley shelf over a two-paged spread, but this wouldn't be an issue on a physical or e-version of the text.

Thanks to Sydney Price, NetGalley, and Fair Winds Press for this advanced copy.

This book had some decent pointers and illustrations. The anatomy portions were detailed well and provided good information. If you're a straight couple and just starting out on sensual massage/exploration then you may find this book helpful.

Love doing massages and this was an interesting read, definitely learned so much! The explanations were clear and the graphics and visuals very useful.

It's very inconvenient to read this on the netgalley shelf app! I skimmed it mostly, seems helpful.

*I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review

A wonderful, inclusive, and loving guide to teach beginners the importance and joy of touch for themselves and their lovers. I want to buy this book for everyone I know!

I was very intrigued when I saw this title become available and had the privilege of receiving an ARC thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group. I have seen similar titles in bookstores before, but never seriously considered purchasing, however my wife works an incredibly stressful job and has been increasingly more tense over the past few months. I thought this might be a good idea to try and use this book to both aid in relieving her tension and maintain the passion in our marriage.

The book did not disappoint. It begins with some background and groundwork and has a section discussing the importance of consent which certainly seems timely even if it isn’t the most exciting chapter to review.

My wife and I have used the techniques described in the book and have found the massage techniques thoroughly enjoyable. We believe it has deepened our connection and further enflamed the passions between us. This is a title I would strongly recommend for any couples who want to try something new or connect in a different way. A very solid four star title.

A comprehensive book encouraging exploration of the body, it covers male, female and transgender. Before explaining sensual massage techniques the book covers what’s needed - getting comfortable with being touched and knowing what touch you want, and anatomy.

Was looking forward to reading this but unable to view as I cannot download to my kindle. Hopefully others can review
