Couples Sensory Play Ideas

Sex is so much more than just a physical act. It's physically pleasurable, of course, but when you're with someone you love or simply with whom you have sensational chemistry, seducing them through all five senses takes lovemaking from pleasurable to phenomenal. Here are some couple sensory play ideas that will help you become a better lover simply by taking your time, paying attention, and being aware in new ways.

Show and Tell

You know how plate presentation enhances how much you enjoy a meal? The same is true in sex. Experimenting with the sense of sight is a wonderful way to introduce sensory play into your relationship. Appeal to your partner visually and encourage him or her to do the same. Seducing your lover through sight can take many forms, such as:

• putting on a special strip tease,
• showing off your body,
• incorporating a mirror,
• and maintaining eye contact.

This does require some confidence, in both yourself and in the connection between you and your lover. But remember, your lover is already interested in you, or they wouldn’t be in your bedroom.

Talk It Out

If you're comfortable talking, do it. You don't necessarily have to talk dirty, although some people enjoy that – maybe even your partner. Perhaps you're already a chatterbox in bed, in which case just keep being you. If you're not, but you want to try it out, it may help to do a little self-reflection on how comfortable you are voicing your needs or desires. Talking to someone non-judgmental, like one of our psychics, can help you work through those issues.

Remember, however, that it isn't all about talking. Let yourself go. If you feel like moaning or whimpering, do it. Verbal encouragement takes many forms. Softly played well-chosen music will help your auditory seduction too.

The Nose Knows

Whether you light candles, burn incense, or spritz on your lover's favorite fragrance, don't forget the sense of smell. Going back to the comparison of a truly delicious meal, think about how you react when you smell something mouth-watering. Your partner will respond the same way when you introduce scintillating scents into the bedroom.

Timeless Taste

Use your tongue when you can. That might mean playing with food, from strawberries and champagne to a little chocolate or honey. However, it can also involve passionate kisses and teasing little games. Just make sure you give your taste buds some time to shine. Don't leave out your partner either. You might even enjoy blindfolding each other before you let your tongues take over. Removing one sense can enhance all the others.

Tempted to Touch

Making love is all about touching but it involves more than the traditional touch. Use your hands, your fingertips, even your cheek to touch your partner. Let your lover explore you in all sorts of different ways too. To enjoy this more, you should discover your personal erogenous zones. Have a love tarot reading to get a better idea about what drives you wild, not to mention what you can do for your partner.

You can make your sex life so much better simply by experimenting with all five of your senses – or even that mythical sixth sense, which may pop up when you're with someone special. Do you pay tribute to all the senses when you make love?
