Exploring Your Erogenous Zones

I thought today I would share how I use sensual touch and exploring my erogenous zones as a nurturing strategy for my sexuality and eroticism.

While touching someone else can be extremely stimulating I find it very important to touch myself on a daily basis in a purposeful and mindful way. I am not talking about the rush towards genital stimulation. This is about being curious about how other areas of my body respond to caresses and discovering how different body parts are erogenous zones too. 

Usually I do this during my shower or my bath as well as when I apply moisturizing creams and lotions. I also find opportunities for this exploration when brushing my hair, during my morning stretch, when getting dressed or undressed. I take many moments through out the day to check-in with myself with my sense of touch through the lens of curiosity and acceptance.

I think the beauty rituals expected of women should also be encouraged for men. They are wonderful tool for more than outer beauty. They can be used for inner work. We all should be exploring what it means to love our bodies and their potential for pleasure.

I truly believe seeing one’s own pleasure beyond the genitals makes solo and partnered sexual activities even more satisfying.
