Fur massage is a form of touch therapy, one of the ancient systems of healing. Couples therapists employ fur massage to focus patients' attention on the importance of touch and to sensitize specific areas of the skin. Holistic spas use fur massage to stimulate the lymphatic system by exciting the skin. While traditional massage requires strong tissue rubs and technical expertise, fur massage stirs the imagination and highlights the erotic nature of touch. The intense physical response makes interaction between giver and receiver a critical element in fur massage. Practiced with a gentle hand, massage with fur does not require strength or massage experience. Couples use fur massage to release tension and stress while enjoying their partner’s reaction to touch. It is important to use top quality fur or a specialized version of faux fur. Otherwise, using inferior quality fur can produce a rash or break up during massage. Do not use oils or creams as these coat the fur and can cause deterioration.
