What Is Sensory Deprivation?

When it comes to sex, the first instinct is usually to dive in. Enjoy a full sensory overload including sight, touch, sound, and taste. But what happens if you limit one or more of your senses?

Sensory deprivation of any one of the common sensations associated with sexual pleasure can sharpen the rest. Something as simple as wearing a blindfold or switching off the lights can be remarkably tantalizing.

Let’s Talk about Sensory Deprivation

To indulge in sensory deprivation you don’t need to create a fancy scene or have any props. But if you want to go shopping, there’s a huge array of fetish products just waiting to be bent to your will.

While having less control and knowledge over what’s going to happen can increase pleasure, it can also increase risk.

Because our senses have an incredible ability to invoke memory, fantasy, eroticism, and more, there are tons of possibilities when it comes to engaging with sensation play.

We can experiment with stimulating more than one sense, use sensation play to toy with our pain threshold, or even deprive ourselves or our partner(s) of one or more senses in order to heighten the experiences of others.

Most of the way we interact with and interpret the world is through our senses—touch, smell, sound, taste, and sight—and they play a huge role in the way we experience pleasure.

And yet so many people don’t take advantage of all their senses during their sexual experiences.

Sensation play is just that: the act of stimulating your senses in different ways to heighten or experiment with different types of pleasure.

Exploring Sensory Deprivation Play

1. Candles
Wax play involves dripping hot wax onto various areas of the body and toying with the balance of pain and erotic pleasure. It can both feel great and look incredibly hot. Sometimes it is combined with some sort of sensory deprivation play, such as wearing a blindfold.

2. Paddles and Floggers
Impact play, which is the practice of striking or being struck repeatedly by a hand or toy, is another way to engage in sensory play. Again, it toys with the tension between pain and pleasure. Most often this is directed at the butt, thighs, back, or chest.

3. Blindfolds
Playing with our sense of sight can be a fun thing to explore sexually. It can create an intense sense of anticipation. Not knowing what is going to happen next and relying on the other senses is both exciting and arousing.

4. Nipple Clamps
Another extremely popular form of sensation play is nipple play. Beyond just tugging, nibbling, biting, and the like, there are also nipple clamps, which pinch and apply pressure to the nipples.

Sensory deprivation requires great care, as removing the senses can be dangerous. It is always good to have a safe word in place. This is to ensure easy communication when something is wrong and a scene needs to stop.

Sexual pleasure can feel even more intense while your partner is under sensory deprivation. So make sure to use it to your (and their) advantage. 💜 Call me for an ExJordynary Experience💜
