Unlike some adult products that foster “alone” time, sex massagers, and their companion oils, encourage intimacy and communication between couples. Learn more about the various types of massagers-it might just rub your relationship to a new level.

Massage parlors are infamous for providing more than just relaxation and rub downs. At least that’s the story according to law enforcement Vice units. And since sex, massages and relaxation have been going hand and hand for decades, it was only a matter of time before sex massagers infiltrated the adult toy market.

What a Sex Massagers?

(Insert chuckle here) Ironically, many sex massagers aren’t a part of the toy market. In fact, some of the steamiest massagers can be found right on the personal care aisle of the local Target. Massagers that are marketed for relaxing muscular aches, for examples.

As the highest quality massager on the market, the Hitachi comes in tops in test on durability, quality and safety.

• The AcuVibe: The AcuVibe and The Hitachi Magic Wand are like twin cousins, unlike Patty Duke, these and twin cousins who don’t share everything. The AcuVibe is quiet as a mouse in mid-motion. There are two speed settings, but you have the option of choosing 4300-5700 vibrations per minute. The AcuVibe, which retails at around $80.00, comes with Integral rechargeable batteries and can serve you sexually for up to forty-five minutes on full charge.

Fun with sex massagers are only accentuated by the use of companion products, like scented candles, and massage and aphrodisiac oils.

• Aphrodisiac oils: Aphrodisiac oils for sex massagers are convenient, discreetly marked bottles of natural blends. Available in spill proof spits bottles, the oils come scented in Romance, Tranquility, Sensuality and Forbidden Fruit.
