Annie Sprinkle and Joseph Kramer speak about developing the Fire in the Valley massage. There is something liberating about love-making that separates giving and receiving.

After massaging the back of your partner's body, have her turn over. The key to developing your touch skills is to use this video to practice. We encourage you to repeat the same stroke at least ten times, paying close attention to your partner’s body - how her breath changes, how her muscles respond. Be sure to ask your partner for feedback. After repeating a stroke ten times, you might try your own variations on that stroke.  You can also ask your partner, “What would make this even better?”
