Pleasing Your Lover

If you want to please your lover, you must first know what your lover finds pleasing. This course offers you the chance to keep the fire in your love life by learning ways to communicate. Communication with your lover takes place in many different ways and not always with words. You’ll learn to explore your lover like an uncharted land. But instead of doing it blindly, you’ll know how to read the signs. Imagine a new sensual adventure every time you touch!

Sensuous Massage (Couples/Partners)

Sensuous massage is the perfect transition from a hectic stressful day and the love life you desire. Imagine you have your own personal masseuse at home, and its your spouse or lover.

To learn this amazing skill, you’ll watch a sensuous massage demonstration by Carla. Then, with her guidance, you’ll practice on your partner and/or vice versa. Carla will offer tips and give you ‘homework’ to practice. This is a clothing optional course for the second half of the class only.
