Night Three: Play & Pleasure - Sensual Attunement and Delight Practice
Intention: Slow down, break routine, and delight each other through sensual (non-genital) touch. Light, playful, deeply attuned.
What you’ll need
-
Optional: blindfold
-
Optional: massage oil
-
Timer (set to 15 minutes)
-
The playlist provided to set the mood
-
Clothing optional - choose what feels true tonight
Before you begin (2 - 3 minutes)
-
Set the space: low light, your playlist on, phones away.
-
Consent & boundaries: name what’s in and out tonight. For the structured portion: no genital touch. We start with sensual connection and pleasure. If you want to move into love making after the practice, go for it!
-
Choose roles: decide who gives first and who receives first.
Round 1 - 15 minutes of receiving / giving
Receiver:
-
Your only job is to breathe, soften, and receive. No need to plan what you’ll give back. Let yourself be worshipped.
Giver:
-
Your only goal: delight your partner. Stay curious and granular, moment to moment.
-
Explore a range of touch across the whole body (excluding genitals): light stroking, nails, slow firm pressure, massage, breath on skin. You may use fingers, mouth, tongue, teeth as desired by you and (most importantly, your partner).
-
If using a blindfold, lean into the tease and anticipation.
Communication prompts (use throughout):
-
“Do you like the speed?” Yes or no. If no: “Slower or faster?”
-
“Do you like the pressure?” Yes or no. If no: “Firmer or lighter?”
-
“Do you like where I’m touching you?” Yes or no. If no: “Where would you rather I touch you?”
-
“Do you like this stroke, the way that I’m touching you?” Yes or no. If no: “Could you tell me how you would rather I touch you?”
Let it be light, unserious, playful and flirty.
Pause & switch (1–2 minutes)
-
When the timer ends, take a few breaths together.
-
Thank each other. Check: “Feeling good to switch?”
-
Swap roles and repeat the 15-minute practice.
Round 2 - 15 minutes of receiving / giving
- Exactly like round 1.
Close & integrate (around 2 minutes each)
Share briefly:
-
What did you experience?
-
What did you feel?
-
What did you love?
-
What would you want to experience differently or more of?
-
Anything else you want me to know?
After the practice
-
Follow what’s true. You may move into lovemaking, or simply rest together. You can take the first steps and keep listening. A no is always allowed.
-
If you continue, notice how much more alive and awake your bodies feel after slowing down and attuning.
Have the most beautiful evening.
