0) The most important backrub rule in my opinion: never break contact.
Once you start touching the person, do not stop until the backrub
is over. Even if you must rest or switch positions, keep a hand
touching his/her back.
> 1) Keep your fingernails short, and not sharp.
1.5) Scratching (lightly or hard, depending on your victim) after a
backrub can be wonderful. Follow this with extremely light touching
(a backrub where you are hardly touching the person at all, except
with fingertips). Careful not to tickle too much -- add more
pressure if you're tickling. Finish up with very light "real"
backrubbing.

4.5) Play piano scales all over his/her back. Some people really like
this.

5.5) Johnson's Baby Oil is great.
> 6) Backs are nice, but don't limit yourself.
6.5) DO limit yourself if you don't know the person very well. Unwanted
touching will ruin both of your evenings.
7) If you don't know the person very well, offer a backrub ONLY if you
really mean "backrub." If you say "backrub" when you really are
just trying to get the person into bed, then (in my opinion at least)
you are a slime.
8) Have fun!
