Scratch or Rub?

Mig and I are very affectionate, I guess. Every night one of us will offer the other this choice. He prefers a good rub-down with oil. I really enjoy giving him this attention every chance I get and it makes him ever so happy.

But when it’s my turn for this attention I’d rather have a good rough back scratching. Don’t get me wrong; he’s excellent with massage, and will work me head to toe, then allow me to fade off to sleep if I’m so inclined.
Oh but the back scratch! The joy! There’s a spot right in the middle, I call it my sweet spot, that he hits and it drives me absolutely mad with pleasure. It’s practically orgasmic if he stays there longer than ten seconds. Rarely do I end up drifting away after a good scratching. :wink:

Which do you prefer from your partner, a back massage or a good ol’ back scratching?

Given a skilled partner, I prefer a massage, but love scratchin’s. I think I know that spot you mean - right under the band of your bra, right? shudder in delight

My hubby prefers scratchin’s, but also loves massage.

But I think I hit Nirvana when I was dating a gymnast. Not because of any kinky positions, but because he had such calloused hands. It was like a getting a massage with light sandpaper gloves. MrrrrrWWrrrrrr…

That’s the place! :shivers:

I like a nice back scratch. Not a fan of rubs or massages. I actually get weirded out by them. First, I don’t like it professionally done because I don’t like strangers touching me. Second, if an s.o. offers me a massage I can’t relax because I feel a smaller/weaker pair of hands on me and it feels incongruous with my larger frame and muscle mass. Plus, I can feel the cartiledge in the massagers fingers popping and straining against my body and it bugs me. Just can’t relax with a massage.
Oddly enough, I’m really good at giving them because I’m really sensitive to other peoples muscles and knots and pressure points.

showering with mrAru - we have the scrubby gloves so I can get a combination back scritch, massage and get clean at the same time =)

aaaahhhhhhhhh**

Nothing quite as fantastic as freshly washed bed linens, a great shower and anevening snuggling in bed and relaxing with some tv watching, or a movie, and some nighttime playing=)
