In sensual sex, the senses are heightened. You are totally present in the moment. You truly taste and smell the person you are with. Every touch is electrically satisfying. Every moan is arousing. Your pupils dilate with sexual hunger. The mind… quiet.
Except… the mind isn’t quiet. You feel disconnected from your body or your senses. Your experience falls flat somehow.
Could sex technology help?
Technology may seem like the enemy of intimacy, but this is not necessarily the case. It is a tool that we can develop and use to enhance and enrich our lives. This includes harnessing our senses to access our sensuality for a more intimate and fulfilling sexual experience.
