Don't want to step on EEK's toes here, but I know a bit about massage and I'd think it would apply for this as well- and if not, I'm glad to be corrected! The thing about oils designed specifically for massage is that they are light and absorb into the skin easily without leaving stickiness or residue. Every part of their composition is meant to be absorbed, from the carrier oil to the specific herbal oils that are added in in very small quantities. I like to blend my own oils, but you can get them already mixed up for you over the web or even sometimes from places like Bath and Body Works. The advantage to blending my own is that I know exactly what's in it and have no problem licking it, but if you go with store-bought, just read the label, maybe taste a bit on your finger if you're so inclined, and decide whether you want to go with that or with a flavored one.

The problem with lubricants is that they may not be so light and residue-free; I know that even my favorite, Astroglide, does leave some stickiness and feels heavy on my hands. You probably don't want to use that as a massage oil because the point here is not to get a nice body rub and then have to jump in the shower. It's up to you and your partner, but for massage sessions with The Boy, I prefer to use my oils and leave the lube for massaging elsewhere.
