beyond just genital stimulation. I discussed sensory deprivation in the previous chapter, but now itâs time to ramp up all the senses, especially touch: this chapter is about sensory stimulation that focuses on creating unique sensations on the skin. Sensation play approaches the flesh of the body like a sculptor begins with a fresh lump of clayâher body is a blank canvas to manipulate and stimulate with different textures, temperatures, and âtorture.â
Feathers
Thereâs a reason that in the popular French maid fantasy, the maid is usually carrying a feather duster, and it doesnât have anything to do with cleaning the house! Feathers are sensual, luxurious tools that feel great against the skin and stimulate our touch receptors. They can stroke, flutter, tickle, and tease the flesh. They are a fun way to get someone in the mood without intimidating them, so they are a good bet for beginners and lovers who arenât ready just yet to bring out the whip.
Combining a feather with a blindfold or bondage can make your partner feel like they are at your mercy. You can buy a large single feather (like a giant
ostrich feather) or a feather tickler made of many feathers attached to a handle (similar to a duster). Run a feather tickler down the entire length of your partnerâs body. Brush the feathers lightly against the skin, then follow each swipe with a kiss. If youâre feeling playful, you can use your feather to torture him as you target his ticklish spots. If tickling turns both of you on, then go for it.
Edible Body Paint and Dust
If you love the idea of licking chocolate sauce, whipped cream, honey, and other goodies off your partnerâs body, then youâll love edible body paint and dust. Imagine soft baby powder sprinkled on your skin, then nibbled off by someone you love. You can experience that sensation with edible body dust. Some dusts come with a feather, so you can combine the sensuality of feathers against the skin with a delicious powder. Edible body paints are just as tasty as sundae toppings, but these paints are safe for the body, moisturizing to the skin, and easy to clean up afterward. Edible body paints come in different colors and flavors and offer all sorts of fun opportunities. Create a colorful masterpiece on your naked body. Draw a bikini on and have him take it off. Write naughty words on your body and ask your partner to lick them off. Paint your partnerâs sensitive spots, then erase them with your mouth.
Massage Oil Candles
Candles are a wonderful way to set a romantic mood, and many couples light them to create some sexy ambiance in the bedroom. Some folks fantasize about
another use for those candles: they want to seductively drip hot wax all over their partnerâs body or have it drizzled on themselves. It looks great in the movies, but the reality doesnât always live up to the hype: if you use the wrong kind of candle, the wax can actually burn someoneâs skin. Even if you get a candle with a low burn temperature, youâre still left with a lot of cooled wax to clean up. Massage candles not only address and fix these common issues, but they combine two activities with one product. They burn at a very low temperature, making it gentle and safe to use without fear of hurting your partner by scorching their skin. Light the candle and let the wax begin to melt. Lift your hand up and away from your partnerâs body (the farther away the candle, the cooler the wax will be when it hits the skin). Once youâve drizzled your partnerâs body with warm wax, start rubbing your fingers into it, and it will transform into silky smooth massage oil. Now youâre ready to give an erotic massage! A sensual massage is a great way to start an evening of sexy fun. You donât need to be a licensed masseuse to give a good massage; you just need to be generous, listen to your partner, and use the healing power of touch.
You can drip hot
