Sensate Focus for Better Sex

Sensate focus is an exercise employed by sex therapists to help both men and women with a variety of sexual problems, including sex phobia, the inability to orgasm, weak orgasms, performance anxiety, and erectile dysfunction.

What is Sensate Focus?

The aim of sensate focus is to help you take the focus off sexual intercourse and instead focus on the process of sexual arousal and to enjoy pleasurable sensual touch. Once you start relaxing and enjoying the process of arousal, your anxiety about performance (for example erection and orgasm) should diminish dramatically, which in turn would help you to have a pleasurable sexual experience.

Touching is an essential part of any sexual relationship. Sensate focus will help you to become more comfortable with touch; learn how your body responds to different types of touch and help to develop trust and intimacy between you and your partner.

With sensate focus, you and your partner each gets a turn to slowly explore the other’s body while being directed as to how to touch teach other for maximum pleasure. In other words, you focus on giving each other feedback on what feels pleasurable. The great thing about this technique is that it not only helps with sexual issues, it also helps to get your relationship back on track.

Sensate focus is a slow and disciplined process but highly successful when it comes to the treatment of a variety of sexual problems.
