To rub is Good...to Massage is Better!  
The original form of healing was "touch".  When we bump our knee, what's the first thing we do...touch the injury :-)   Giving a personal massage is a wonderful way to show Your partner that You care.  Sharing of energy with music, candlelight, and touch is such a Beautiful bonding.   Enjoy the moment :-)
