Using Your Senses

Using Your Senses

Using our senses helps all of us, to take in and perceive the world. If we take away one sense it often heightens the others causing them to hyper-awareness and can shift reality. Each of our senses touch, smell, taste, hearing and sight can all be used during playtime and can be very eye-opening for all parties involved. Even withholding senses can help to increase pleasure during any scene. Here are a few examples of using these senses in playtime to help increase pleasure.

Using the Sense of Sight

Using your vision to alter reality can be a powerful tool. The first example is that forcing them to watch what you want them or depriving them of their vision can shape and form your partner’s reality. Blindfolds or hoods cause the other senses to become increased causing stimulation with even the slightest brush of the hand or feeling the smack of a hand against your ass can bring intense reactions. Looking the part by dressing provocatively can also force your partner to see you in a new light. Watching a steamy movie can also be an example of visual stimulation.

Using the sense of Hearing

Hearing the moans of your partner or the wet smack of flesh meeting flesh can also cause intense reactions. Using noise canceling headphones can force the other senses to become much more. Your eyes focus on movement more sharply, and the feel of your partner’s skin against yours becomes more intense. Music can also help to direct the environment and set the tone for the scene. Maybe the small of their cologne or the taste of their kiss becomes more. See how the absence or bombardment of hearing sounds can change any situation.

The sense of Touch

Touch is a very powerful sensation often causing intense reactions. Eliminating the sense of touch by using sensory deprivation tanks or by removing your touch can both really influence your partner’s behavior. For example, edging can cause intense reactions like in playing with edging. it can intensify your orgasms when they are allowed. The intense feel of rough rope on your skin holding you in the position of the feeling the soft sued flogger against you can all influence you and alter the world you are in.

Using Smell and Taste

Smell and taste are often used in conjunction with each other. Setting the tone for any scene can always be influenced by either or both of these senses. The smell of lavender or jasmine. Foods like chocolate or honey in bed. Feeding each other or the smell of a nice candle can all elevate the mood. The taste of champagne or the smell of fresh cut roses can stimulate the mind and allow sensory memory of past experiences that help to increase pleasure.
