How to try sensual play at home?
Set a sexy atmosphere
A sexy atmosphere helps to immerse each other into the state of being, making the mind and body more relaxed and reducing anxiety and tension. The first thing you can do to create a sexy atmosphere is to keep your bedroom clean and tidy. Then add sexy vibes such as playing sexy music, lighting nice smelling scented candles, adding mood lighting to the bedroom and dimming the overall lighting.
Sensory Deprivation
Sensory deprivation is the process of amplifying other sensory sensations by depriving yourself of one or more of them. This reduces the distraction of other things, and you can feel, to a greater extent, the stimulation that your partner brings, the warmth of your partner's hand, the scent of your body etc. A more focused experience leads to a more intense sense of stimulation. For example, using a blindfold to blindfold your partner, running your hands all over your partner's body, or saying nasty things in your partner's ear to stimulate feelings of desire and anticipation for each other.
Ice Cube Game
Changes in temperature can have a strong stimulating effect, and ice cubes are very easy to obtain and utilize to produce intense pleasure. For example, you can hold it in your mouth and use it to explore and stimulate your partner's body. Or use an ice cube to slide over your partner's skin. It is also very fun to use ice to cool sex toys, especially those made of glass and stainless steel, as they have better heat conductivity.
Candle play
This is a game between pleasure and pain and is a common fetish. The oil of the candle is dripped on the skin of the partner to bring a hot, special sensation of stimulation. Care should be taken to use specialized low-temperature candles and avoid dripping candles on hairy, head, and genital areas as this can lead to injuries or the candles can be difficult to remove.
