How to Give a Guy a Back Rub

Back rubs are nice because they are both relaxing and intimate. Since people can't give themselves back rubs, the act of giving one to a guy will show that you want him to be comfortable and are willing to do so in a way that he cannot do on his own. It's not difficult to give a back rub, but there are a few tips you can follow in order to give the best back rub you possibly can.

Instructions

    • 1

      Liberally apply baby oil, moisturizer or any other lubricant to allow your hands to slide more easily.

    • 2

      Massage the trapezius, which is the muscle that runs from his neck to his shoulders. This is a strong muscle, so you can generally be firm with it while massaging it.

    • 3

      Push from his pelvis to his neck, keeping the bottom palm of each of your hands on either side of his spine. This will relax the muscles that support his spine.

    • 4

      Rub the space between his shoulder blades and his spine with your fingers.

    • 5

      Move your hands so that your fingers are pointing to the left and right, then push down to his pelvis.

    • 6

      Repeat, focusing more energy on the steps that got more positive responses from him.
