Showing Love Through Acts of Service

How does the idea of letting your partner pamper you sound? We think it sounds DIVINE.

No need to worry about anything, no need to ponder over your next move – just lay down and relax. Let your partner's hands and mouth do all the work while you enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Treating and pampering each other is an essential part of a healthy and happy relationship. While not everyone's love language falls into the category of Acts of Service, having your partner show their love this way can bring unexpected benefits for both of you.

Plus, pampering your partner isn’t only relegated to the bedroom. You can start small to build a foundation of care and attentiveness.

Try a little foot massage while watching TV together and lounging on the sofa. Take the reins while in the shower and spoil your partner by massaging their body with shower gel. Make your partner coffee and bring it to them in bed.

There are a million small ways to show your partner that you value and cherish them.

However, with any genuine act of service, there’s one hitch. Acts of service are only effective if there is communication involved.

If you are the one giving your partner a massage, this is a time to listen. Pay attention to what motions and sensations provide pleasure to your partner. Let these positive signposts guide your actions.

If you are receiving the massage, remember that your partner probably can't read your mind. To ensure that you're getting the luxurious treatment you deserve and your desires (sexual or otherwise) are fulfilled, it's important that you don't shy away from voicing your needs and wants.

As you go through the Scene, tell your partner what you want them to do to you, what techniques you like, and which need adjustments.

And don’t think this is a completely one-sided experience. During this scene, you both will be participating in indulgent self-care rituals and need to engage in open communication of desires.

For example, there is no better time or place to praise your partner for their skilled hand movements on your back or remind them that you’d prefer they squeeze your inner thighs more firmly.

We will help you establish a judgment-free zone, so don't be shy to use your voice. Your partner is here to please you, and they'll be grateful for guidance in helping accomplish that goal.

While one partner will learn to voice their needs and wants, the other will learn to digest feedback and truly listen to their partner. Don’t be surprised if, along the way, they start to read your body language and become familiar with how you respond to different types of stimulation.

We can’t transform your partner into a clairvoyant, but this intimate practice can build their keen awareness of your pleasure preferences.
