Sexsations | Sensitivities to Touch on During Sex

February 22, 2023

We know the five senses all too well. But do we know how to really use them to our advantage in the bedroom?

Touch 🤲🏻

Bring drinks and dessert into the bedroom; use ice cream and ice cubes to experiment with temperature play. The sensation of something so cooling on skin is shockingly sexy! On the warmer side, try Kama Sutra arousal gel or massage oil candles. Incorporate new objects into your sex life, like silky sheets and feather tickler to have some fun with each other.

Taste 👅

Aphrodisiacs exist for a reason, lovers. Get in the mood by enjoying an over-the-top romantic meal with foods like oysters, red wine, strawberries, chocolate, etc. But don’t stop there. Take some to the bedroom. Remember that ice cream mentioned with Touch? Feed it to each other or lick it off each other. Sweet tooth: satisfied.

 

 

Hearing 👂🏽

Don’t be shy. Talk to your partner about what you like, ask what he/she likes, listen to each other. For the background, take the time to build your perfect playlist. There are plenty of recommended songs out there you can find and combine for the ultimate sex soundtrack.

Sight 👁

We undoubtedly rely on our eyes to do most of the visual exploring on each other. Ladies, invest in some grade A lingerie for sexy date nights. Discuss fantasies together and see which (realistic) ones you might be willing to dress up for to please your partner. Watch an erotic movie or porn together for new ideas and get in the mood. And don’t forget what’s as good - if not better - than sight: the lack of. Take turns blindfolding each other and remember how heightened all other senses are when you can’t rely on your eyes.

 

Smell 👃🏾

At times when the nerves kick in, we often forget to keep control of our breath. Slow down, take a deep breath, and inhale each other. Wear his or her favorite lotion or perfume, fill the room with sexy scented candles, and try different products to get an idea of what you especially like. With different themes like sweet, tropical, or fresh, don’t underestimate the power of your nose!
