GAMES FOR DEPRESSED COUPLES – GAME 3: MASSAGE POKER (PART 4)
The next step in the massage (if he has persuaded her to go on) is to take a few ice cubes, wrap them in a face cloth or clean handkerchief, and slowly slide that along her spine to the nape of her neck. Then he slowly, lovingly slides the cold compress all around the shoulders, the back, the arms, the underarms, and the palms of the hands; between the fingers; all over the legs and the bottom of the feet; between the toes; up the inner leg and inner thigh on one side and down the inner thigh and inner leg on the other; then up the crevass between her buttocks, and circling around each cheek; then up the spine again; and finally around the sides of the head, across both the left and right temples.
Next he takes a hot “washrag” (dipped from time to time into a bowl of hot water) and slides it over her body, following the very same route as was used with the ice-filled cloth.
Next he takes a new feather duster and glides it along her body, following the same route as in the previous examples.
Next he begins slowly to kiss her body. He kisses in little pecks, again following the same route.
Next he takes something soft, such as a velvet or silk comforter, and covers her with it, slowly and lovingly rubbing the comforter all over her body.
Next he lies on top of her and envelops her with his naked body. He gently slides around, holding her hands in his as he does so, and kissing the back of her neck.
Then he asks her to roll over.
