7-Step Sensual Touch Practice
‘Nothing arouses us more than touch’
Sensual touch releases oxytocin, the "love hormone," which promotes feelings of trust, safety, and connection.
Regular sensual touch has also been shown to alleviate pain, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall well-being.
Steps to Enhance Connection and Desire Through Devotional Touch
Create a Sacred Space
Setting the right atmosphere (e.g., fuzzy blankets, soft music, candles, and dim lighting) minimizes distractions and promotes relaxation. This environment encourages openness and vulnerability, essential for deep connection.
Communicate Intent
Discuss with your partner that this exercise is exploratory, aimed at enhancing mutual ecstasy. Clear communication builds trust and helps both partners feel safe to express their desires. Explore any boundaries that feel delicious in your body and create safety.
Engage in Sensual Touch
Experiment with gentle touches, tantalizing strokes, and playful teasing. This form of touch can awaken dormant desires and increase intimacy as you explore each other's bodies. Be sure to highlight areas of the skin that contain C-tactile nerves, such as the forearms, neck, inner thighs, and forehead. These spots can trigger yummy erotic sensations.
Check-In Regularly
Asking questions such as, “Where can I touch you next?” or “Do you prefer harder or softer pressure?” fosters ongoing communication. This ensures that both partners are attuned to each other's preferences and comfort levels, enhancing the experience.
Play with Prompts
Using prompts like “What part of your body longs to be licked?” encourages playful exploration and helps partners express their desires. This can lead to discovering new sources of pleasure and satisfaction.
Deepen the Connection
Engaging in this kind of playful touch and communication fosters a deeper emotional and physical connection. It amplifies the intensity of shared moments, building a stronger bond between partners.
Become the Experience
The final invitation for this practice is to become the experience of touch. As the receiver of touch, this is your opportunity to surrender into delicious antipaction of each and every stroke. Breath into your body awakening your canvas of pleasure. As the giver of touch, become the touch! Pull all of your awareness and focus into the sensation of your lover’s skin at your finger tips. Noticing what turns them on, how their body and breath react, and infuse your touch with love, safety, and pleasure.
