Well organized, lovely to look at (classic nudity --I can see why it won awards) and comprehensive, this is a video to share with a loved one. It's more a sensual experience, than a video presentation. You can almost FEEL the strokes. The introductory material takes you through preparing a massage area from scratch (easy!), setting up some massage oil, relaxing your partner and providing soothing background stimulation like music and scent.

The massage itself is presented in great detail with real expertise--and at a speed that makes it easy to learn. The people in the film are attractive and really do look like they are being massaged. You watch a real massage move over the Chest and Abdomen, Head, Arms, Hands, Front of the legs, Feet, Back of the Legs and Back. Individual strokes are shown and explained well. You really can follow along stroke by stroke, trying things as you watch. There's also lots of information about the body and the senses. The main emphasis throughout is on pleasure. You are encouraged to try what you see on the screen. There's also lots of information on the effects massage has on the body.

I would recommend this video without reservation to anyone who is interested in learning how to do a sensual massage.

Having owned THE NEW SENSUAL MASSAGE and enjoyed its beautiful techniques with my loved ones, I was delighted to discover this book and DVD package which makes the learning process even easier. The Art of Sensual Massage is probably the most famous massage book out there. We got it as a wedding gift and really put it to good use. What a great experience sensual massage is! This is apparently a new edition with better photos and printing. The DVD fits right in with the techniques described in the book...almost page by page. It's packaged inside the book. It's really fun to use them together. We have recommended this package to several friends and based on the enthusiastic responses, will continue to do so.

The bottom line: if you want to learn and really ENJOY massage, get this package. You won't regret it.

For this price, you get both the best massage book and a step-by-step video of the same practice. Very carefully done with precision and many helpful hints on massage technique. The book really does come alive when you sit back and watch the DVD. It's handy to be able to stop the motion and try something. Anyone will be able to learn massage from this combo because you can see pressures and rhythms in motion. Real massage occurs in every scene, with useful health tips. Very sensual with the right person but the technique will work in just about any setting. For example, you could use this combination as a guide for learning massage in a non-sensual setting, like, say, geriatrics. It's quite clear that almost everyone will find a level of deep appreciation here.

I got this book for my husband as an anniversary gift. We love giving each other massage, so I thought he might like a book that was easy to understand so we could both develop new teqniques. We both are learning a lot, and we've learned a lot that has helped our marriage.

The DVD is much better than the book. However the black and white photographs in the book are artistic and professional. The techniques described are relaxing and sensual, NOT sexual. Some books say sensual in their titles but are really sexual in nature.

What a beautiful presentation. The descriptions are both musical to read and easy to follow. The images were the perfect demonstration of each movement and body position. I feel that the warm, loving intent behind sensual massage was eloquently articulated in this book and DVD. I also enjoyed the various quotations and excerpts included in the book. Being my first sensual massage book, I was, and continue to be pleasantly surprised at the world of pleasure that is literally at our fingertips.
Thank you.

This is an outstanding set. The book in easy to follow with great pictures. The dvd gives great detail on technique. The only thing missing is a subject. You'll need to supply your own.

While a bit dated the basics of massage are great. Tastefully done, fully nude couples allow for you to really see how to give the full body massage. If your looking for something more visually sensual then this might not be the book/dvd for you since it looks like it was shot in the 70s (a scene show a guy putting on a vinyl record). But if your looking for how to set the mood and a great basics on giving a massage don't let the datedness of this deter you from picking this up.

The book gives detailled information about different techniques .However the print quality could be better and I would prefer color pictures .

the instructions are easy to understand and it covers techniques to use on the entire body. I was a pro in no time
