Feast For Your Feet

Our entire being rests from morning to night on less than one square foot of blood and bunion—our feet. Yet how often do we coddle and caress the very objects that bring our date to us? How often do we make a special date to pamper our partner's piggies?

Have you ever noticed how people make some of the same noises during a foot massage as they do when you're giving them oral sex? The fact is, there are times when one feels almost as good as the other. There are also times when one leads to the other, given how your partner is already down there anyway. So why not make a date of it?

COST

It doesn't cost anything, unless you want to spend $3.00 to $5.00 for special foot oil and also get a bottle of wine.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

First, the important part: A bottle of wine and two glasses. Also, a couple of candles for the proper ambiance.

How about a container large enough to soak your date's feet in?

Have clean towels to dry off your date's feet and to put on your lap while you are massaging them. If you are a guy who has a foot fetish, the towel will also help to hide your erection.

You can purchase oil that's specially made for foot massage. Pond's has a peppermint oil and there are hundreds of aromatherapy massage oils that will be just right for your date's tootsies.

Position is everything... Have two comfortable chairs facing each other for maximum access to your date's feet. Or maybe you will want to sit on the floor while your date sits in a chair.

WHAT TO DO

Make sure your partner trims his or her toenails before the massage, or if you are feeling extra generous, give your date a pedicure.

Put the container of foot oil in a bowl of hot water in order to warm it.

Fill the tub with warm water. Place some of the oil in the water and then add the feet. Allow them to soak for at least five minutes. Enjoy a glass of wine and have a nice chat about the day's events.

Take one foot out of the water and pat it dry. Lube it up with a generous amount of oil. Let the massage begin and take your sweet time.
