Sensual Touch

by Jennifer Good
Often times I find touch to be a very underplayed part in romantic encounters. The skin is the body's largest organism and is usually the first thing to weather the elements. It seems only natural that a sensual touch can heighten any sexual experience. What is sexual touch exactly?

Touch means to come in contact with, or even more accurately described for this article, to affect the senses or the sensibility of; to move; to melt; to soften. Sensual means sexually exciting or gratifying. Therefore sensual touch is described as bodily contact with anything that creates sexual excitement.
Touch can be used for many things. If you and your partner are newly sexual you might use it to increase your partner's confidence and trust. You might also use it as a gentle but exciting reminder of your presence and sexuality. You can also spend the day touching your partner so that by the end of the night, they are dying to make love. The possibilities are endless. The more creative and open you are with each other the better your experiences will be.
Once you've developed this magnificent talent you will notice a dramatic increase in your sensuality and sexual encounters. So how does one begin developing this talent? I suggest starting off by first increasing the number of times you touch your love. At every opportunity touch them. If it's just to hold hands, that's fine. When they least expect it walk up behind them and touch the back of their neck or run your hands down their arms. Give them a hug. Anything you can do to increase the physical contact is good but keep in mind the small sensual touches will give you the best result. Once you've started doing this, don't stop... ever. This is not something to try for awhile and then give up, this is a lifestyle change.
For intimate sensual touch encounters, try lightly tracing your partner's entire body. Take special care to go over each curve and outline from their head to their toes. You might also try this in the shower, giving them a light soap massage.
For a more erotic encounter, blindfold your partner and use various items to touch them. For example, a silk scarf or feather would work perfectly. The more daring you both are, the more of a variety of items you can choose from. The key of this idea is to remember that touch doesn't always have to be with your hands. You can use a variety of elements to increase your partner's sensual awareness, such as your hair, lips, chest, etc.
If you're uncomfortable, instead of using different objects to heighten the experience, you might choose to incorporate a sensual massage with your touching. Great ways to do this are by giving a scalp massage, washing your partner's hair or by giving a hand or foot massage.
However you decide to incorporate sensual touch into your life, do it openly. Everything in life is a learning experience, this is no different. Just have fun with it. And remember these tips:
Make sure your nails aren't jagged.
Make sure your hands are clean.
During any long encounters make sure clothing is comfortable.
Make sure your partner is comfortable.
Remember you're only limited by your imagination.
