5.0 out of 5 stars Two reasons why this is one of the best:, February 29, 2000

This review is from: Sensual Massage: An Intimate and Practical Guide to the Art of Touch (Paperback)

This is one of the best of the sensual massage books, and the best that I have seen thus far. I have two reasons for saying this: best color photograph\visual presentation, and the uniquely useful information focus that the author uses. The color pictures which often fill the pages of this type of book often have two visual drawbacks: one, every page tends to be filled up with the same two people-the same two skin colors, and also the same two personalities. If you don't feel total empathy with the two people on page one, you're sunk. This book is masterful in that department. The pictures are beautiful and diverse. The emotions and personalities reflected in them are varied and subdued. This is a beautiful looking book that complements the way I learn by stimulating my visual appreciation.the second reason why this book is my top pick has to do with information focus. The author picks a perspective that is very good, and runs it on every page. My two favorite items of presentation are: leverage and positioning ideas that could allow you to give a much better massage while working on the same plane as your subject. My other favorite stream of data that runs throughout the book is what I call the roadmaps of massage. One manages to "see" these patterns that the hands make on each of the pages at a glance. I believe that these circuits of the hands feel very good to a massage subject, even when done by a beginner. Other plusses are: there is no real erotic tone to the book, and the book has very good pacing as you jump from page to page. all of this give the book the dual benefits of being food for flipping through fast as a refresher just before starting a massage, as well as being visually beautiful and nourishing to dawdle over for the sheer beauty it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Compendium For Two Sharing Love, July 25, 2000

By

This review is from: Sensual Massage: An Intimate and Practical Guide to the Art of Touch (Paperback)

I must completely agree to the comments already made by Andrew A Foote - with one exception: I believe that it is considerably difficult to find a lot of different people to get into a photo session for this particular subject, in order to have different people on every page.

Nitya Lacroix is helping people, who want to share love, to do this using their hands. We often like to use words or even some gestures. Here we have an appeal to take our time and say things with gentle touch, which we cannot express in words.

I can only recommend every couple to read through it, so to open up a new dimension in partnership - and perhaps make partner massage an installation in their lifes.

I was reading this book long time ago, and now got it in my hands again ...
