Trust your senses and dive in! 🧡

With the ever-evolving sex and its doctrines, getting an orgasm has become more than just an expectation. it is now more than just the conventional penetration. Other forms of intimacy simply require you to engage your five senses and orgasm more than ever before. And yeah, we are talking about sensation play. If you and your over are interested in giving sensation play a try, this is the ultimate guide you need.

You did learn about the five human senses, including sound, touch, sight, and taste, in a preparatory school for a good reason. When you watch hard-core porn, you will realize these senses have other bedroom uses that add flavor to intimacy.  The five senses can significantly impact the way you perceive sexual pleasure if engaged properly. They achieve this by invoking your fantasy, memory, and eroticism, allowing you to experiment with various forms of pleasure.  Sensation play comes with endless possibilities you can cling on to add pleasure to your sex life.  For instance, you can stimulate your senses to leave your body hanging between pain and pleasure.  Also, you can deprive your senses or your lover’s to enhance other senses in a stimulating way.

What Is Sensation Play?

Sensation play is the manipulation of senses to heighten sexual pleasure. Engaging your senses in your sexual endeavors is one of the creative and exciting ways to spice up the bedroom.  Although it is one of the most overlooked forms of intimacy, sensation play can help you understand your whims and desires when correctly done. What’s more, sensation play can help you take a different approach toward penetrative sex and orgasm and satisfy your sexual fantasies in explorative and experimental ways. This makes sex better for you and your lover to achieve gratification. Sensation play ensures the sensations are deeply felt either through sensory deprivation or sensory modification.

Sensory Deprivation

Sensory deprivation refers to the restriction of one or more of your senses to increase the experience of others. In this type of sensation play, people choose sight, speech, and hearing. If you are the dominating partner, you can choose to restrict all the five senses at once to make the submissive’s body highly reactive to minor low stimuli. For experienced sensation players, it can be worth it to take sensation play to extremes with mummification. This technique may also require you to take baby steps to avoid causing pain and injury to the submissive.  Others methodologies like needle play might require you to be extra careful to avoid blood-borne diseases. Use bondage hoods, gas, ball gags, masks, blindfolds, restraints, vacuum beds, and earmuffs for stimulating sensory deprivation.  Each tool comes with a must-read guide for safety purposes.

Sensory Modification

Sensory modification is the stimulating of various erogenous zones with specific objects.  Modification tools apply intense pressure to these zones, leaving them more sensitive when removed.  Sensory modification can be more aggressive than sensory deprivation.  Even so, these types of sensory play can get the job done without hurting the top or submissive partner.  Sensory modification is common in the kink community with its tools known for torturing pleasure and pain. Tools you can throw in the picture to achieve this type of sensation play include floggers, electro sex toys, paddles, ticklers, Wartenberg Pinwheels, balms, temperature play sex toys, and pervertible. Most of these toys may require training to use before hitting the bedroom. In other words, mishandling sensory modification tools can cause fatal injuries. 

Why try Sensation play?

Sensory play results in orgasmic satisfaction, which refers to you and your lover becoming mentally and physically satisfied. Typically, teasing and playing with your lover form a better part of sensation play. If you tease your lover in the right way, chances are you may not need to penetrate them for orgasmic satisfaction. Agree with your lover before experimenting with sensation play.  This will you help them focus on activities that pleasure them, resulting in deep and multiple orgasms. Moreover, try various methods of sensation play to introduce different stimulations to your sessions. Sensation play also increases the emotional connection between you and your lover. The pain and emotions felt by both of you during the play work on your emotional part, making the relationship more stable.

Health and Safety Tips

  • Start the play slow and graduate to extreme techniques, including mummification, If both of you are physically and mentally prepared.
  • After the play, untie your lover to allow blood circulation. Leaving your lover restrained, gagged, hooded, or bound after a long time can compromise their safety.
  • Check distress signs throughout the play to ensure your lover is safe.
  • Avoid spanking, flogging, or whipping the submissive in the kidney area, face, spine, tail bone, and neck. Hitting these zones can cause irreparable damage.
  • Choose massage candles if you want to experiment with wax play. Other candles may not have a melting point required for sensation play, increasing risks of unintended pain and injuries.
  • Practice using complicated tools to avoid mishandling that may further cause injuries.
  • Choose a safeword or sign to use beforehand.  When the submissive or the dominating partner uses the word, it may imply the play to stop, continue or slow down. If you involved ball gags in the play, check the body language and respond immediately to avoid injuries.
  • Remove clamps shortly after reaching climax. Leaving them on for more than 10 minutes can impair blood flow to the boobs.

Aftercare

Sensation play can leave the submissive psychologically worn out. That said, bringing your lover back to the real world can increase your emotional connection after the play. There are many ways to offer aftercare to your lover after intense moments of pleasure and pain games. These include cuddling, and serving a glass of water or treats. After a refreshing shower, tend to the areas you flogged, spanked, or whipped with an ice pack or aloe vera gel.

The Bottom Line

Sensation play is available in variations to allow you to bring something new and exciting to the bedroom. However, thorough preparations and taking precautions are needed to avoid injuries and pain. Above are the tips that can help you get started in sensation play. Before giving the play try, talk to your lover to gauge their interest in this form of intimacy. If you both fall on the same page, create a safe word or sign to ensure you end the session without injuries.
