What is Sensation Play? 3 Sensation Play Ideas Worth Trying!
Sensation Play, also known as sensory play, is the practice where you or your partner use different objects or ways to engage with the 5 senses (sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing) and bring a pleasurable experience (or painful one, that can be pleasurable too).
Sensory Play can mean a lot of things, there are different “types” of sensory play. Some of them are more harsh than others and engage in painful activities, for example: using clams in some parts of your body. While some other of them are more gentle, for example: blindfolding yourself or your partner.
There are plenty of techniques to put your senses into practice, from using ice cubes to doing bondage suspension, depending on how deep you want to get into sensation play.
How can you start with Sensation Play?
As Jasmine explained, there’s no need to enter the sensory play world with a partner. And there’s no need to know what you are doing. Your senses are working all day every day, so the task here is to pay attention to what you actually like when it comes to senses and sexuality. You can start by wondering which of your senses causes you more arousal. Is it touch? Is it sound? Maybe smell?
Wander around that and when you find out which sense is your go-to (or maybe multiple of your senses can cause you to feel aroused, and the possibilities keep expanding) and then focus on the intensity you’d like to feel. Starting light is an option, and starting harsh is also an option, everything depends on what you’d like, other experiences you had and whether you want to do it with yourself or with a partner.
5 Sensation Play Ideas Worth Trying!
Sight
Starting with the basics, to play with your sense of sight you may want to start with blindfolding yourself or your partner. While blindfolded, exploring kisses, sensual touch or other ways of intimacy may be a good idea.
Smell
Lightning a scented candle and leaving it on the side of your bed, or asking your partner to put on the perfume you like the most can be a nice way to start. If you keep that candle for long enough, you may even have some wax to play with our next sense!
Touch
There are plenty of things to try with touch. Having wax over your body is one of them, and depending on how far you’d like to go you could even add spanking to that and try that combination. If impact play is not your thing, a feather may be a nice way to start teasing your partner. Using ice cubes to roam around your partner’s body is a nice way to play with temperatures too!
Taste
Any flavored accessories are good to play with your sense of taste. Flavored condoms for oral, putting some balm over nipples or having aphrodisiac fruit laying on your partner’s body to eat from it…
Hearing
Asking your partner to gently talk in your ear can be an easy way to start. But there are a lot of options and when it comes to dirty talk, you may want to hear British Filth to get started!
Senses are as wide as your experience with them can be. By yourself or with a partner, enjoy the ride!
