Massage Your Mate

I literally wore my VHS copy of this video out and then had to buy the DVD. If you are inexperienced and actually want to learn how to give a great massage, this is the DVD to get. This may not be the most detailed professional way to learn massage BUT this is the BEST practical way to learn, speaking as an experienced non-professional. Haha.

My husband and I had a "massage your mate" teaching session while on vacation a few years ago, and he loved it. Unfortunately, it was too easy to forget all the techniques we learned over time. This video is an excellent tool to help us remember what we learned and to pick up new skills. It's very tastefully done (if you can ignore the '80s hair and clothes!), well narrated, and very accessible. Highly recommended.

My husband and I found this video via Netflix on our honeymoon a few years ago. It was easy to follow, felt great, and makes for a very relaxing evening. Although there are parts that make us chuckle as the video is slightly antiquated, the basic massage techniques are not going to go out of style. I highly recommend this video for couples.

I have been a Certified Massage Therapist for over 10 years, and I bought this video to help my husband learn some massage techniques to use on me. As far as some of the other reviews are concerned, I'm glad I didn't listen to the negative ones. I'm not sure what some of the reviewers were watching, but if there was sexual content they were NOT watching this video. This video is 100% family friendly- no inappropriate draping (the people receiving massage were partially clothed and covered with a towel), no massage of the erogenous zones, and no sensual/sexual content or language whatsoever. Information was thoughtfully presented, and it was very clear about explaining what techniques should not be used unless by a professional. This is not the best video to try to work along with as a guide while massaging, but otherwise everything was very easy to follow and learn. Swedish and Shiatsu techniques were covered, which is a nice combination. Instruction is given based on giving a massage on the floor that will be comfortable for both massage partners- you do not need a massage table to give the massage taught in the video. I am confient that almost anyone could use this video to learn to give a relaxing, enjoyable massage.

These are great techniques, and I can't wait to try them out on the love of my life - me!

This is certainly not worth $29. Would have gotten 4 stars if costed half of what it is. Instructions are good and clear, but camera angle not good since third person view rather than first person view which makes it difficult to follow. Find something else for a cheaper price.

Great old how-to video for massage, but can’t stand the nipple cover!
