Let's take a trip down memory lane… Remember the thrill of slip-n-slides as a kid? Or fast forward ten years - the excitement of jello/KY wrestling matches in college? If you (sadly) didn't participate in either of these adrenaline-inducing activities, I have good news for you: there's a much sexier adult version you can reenact. And yes, of course, I've tried it out for you. Let's dive in!
How It Started
For my birthday, my hubby booked and planned a beautiful night for us at an AirBnB in Nashville for a romantic evening without any distractions. I had no clue what my birthday gift was going to be, but knowing my husband, it was going to be some kind of sexy adventure.
After we got settled into the Airbnb, my husband told me to go freshen up while he set the scene. Of course, I was dying to know what he had planned. I went to get ready, but when the opportunity presented itself, I peeked around the bathroom corner to see him blowing up a twin-size mattress. I didn't know what it meant, but I did know I was in for a great surprise.
What happened next was a blur. A wonderfully sexy, messy blur. For my birthday gift, my hubby ordered a Nuru massage kit. What is Nuru, you might ask? If you look up Nuru massage, you'll find an endless supply of porn. I'm not complaining - Nuru's porn gives us tons of ideas. But more succinctly, Wikipedia defines Nuru as a Japanese erotic massage technique from Kawasaki, Japan. The technique requires one or more Nuru masseuses to rub their bodies against the client's body when both parties are nude and covered with an odorless and colorless massage lotion. My definition? Nuru massage is the coolest thing to do on any night that ends with Y.
Time To Get Wet!
Now, back to our evening in Nashville - my hubby started to pour a small amount of the warm, slippery gel all over my naked body. (From my experience, this is the only time I've received a massage from my partner and been ok with it turning into sex 30 seconds later.) Then, he started sliding his naked body on my back, up and down - sexy slip-and-slide style. It's extremely sensual and erotic. Okay, so I can hear your adult brain firing objections all over the place. So hear me out.
I don't want to make a huge mess!
Believe it or not - Nuru massages aren't messy at all. We don't ever get any of the gel on the carpet. It stays right on your body and stays nice and wet the whole time. Why buy a lube you can't use for your genitals? Great news - the Nuru massage oil we purchased is safe for your girly parts and makes for nice lube in the shower or bath. But be very careful in the shower or bath. You will fall on your ass
I don't want to purchase an air mattress for this
If you don't want to purchase a mattress, I suggest getting Wet Sheets from a reputable company. Wet Sheets are designed specifically for Nuru massage. To note, Wet Sheets are a perfect example of how cheaper isn't always better. I have tried the cheaper sheets on Amazon and they are horrible compared to the Wet Sheets. Hey, it's all in the name of research. And in this case (trust me), quality matters.
I think air mattresses are cheesy
Well, I'm all about being cheesy. Especially when it comes to sex. If you want an even more romantic and sensual experience then I highly recommend the Wet Mattress from Liberator.com. Place this black beauty in front of the fireplace and then when you're finished, just slip it under your bed for easy and discrete storage.
Now that we've rationalized with your adult self, you're probably thinking, okay, LET'S DO THIS!
Now What?
All you need are three ingredients: Twin size blow-up mattress (easy to store under your bed) Nuru massage gel (mix with water to make it super slippery) Wooden bowl to easily heat the gel in the microwave. From my experience, the warmer the better (but always be cautious of not burning yourself - listen to you and your partner to assess your comfort levels)
That's it... Just start massaging each other and eventually lay on top of each other slipping and sliding all around. It will probably be the only time you're excited to have sex from a massage.
