How to learn how to give a good massage
It made me
manually dextrious 
"it made my hands sticky"
How I did it: I had a boyfriend who was massage whore. He always wanted me to rub his hands, his back, his feet. I was like, "what do I look like over here, a massage therapist??" He was like, "yeah you do." Just to get him to stop nagging I would give him a back massage or a hand massage. He was willing to reciprocate so it was okay. Eventually ditched the boyfriend but decided I was pretty damn good with my hands.
I went to grad school & enrolled in a holistic health program. Part of my training was in medical massage. Had to study it for one year. Learned all the musculo-skeletal parts of human anatomy and the ins and outs of giving a great massage. I think massage is intuitive for some people so this kind of training isn't necessary unless you're looking to cash in.
Lessons & tips:
- Get some books on the subject
- Practice

It’s good for using on a significant other or just to help a friend relax.

I purchased a book on techniques for massaging the whole body not too long ago. I now live with my boyfriend, so I have someone to practice my massages on!

With the right books and some decent massage oil (even the prefab stuff from Bath and Body has been pretty good for me!), you’ll be on your way! Be sure not to tense up too much while you give a massage or you’ll be the one hurting afterward!
