Have You Tried Sensory Play? How To Engage All Five Senses

This one’s not only for the BDSM kinksters!

Sensory play, aka sensation play, is a play that engages all five senses: touch, smell, taste, sound and sight. It involves either enhancing the senses or depriving them. The purpose of sensory play is to strengthen the mind-body connection so you can experience more pleasure.

If this sounds enticing to you, then keep reading to discover how to engage all five senses.


1. Touch

Thanks to the touch receptors in our skin, we can detect various types of stimuli, including pressure, texture, vibration, temperature and pain. This means that there are multiple ways you can engage the sense of touch to bring pleasure to yourself and your partner. Vary the pressure of your caresses. Play with temperatures like bringing ice into the bedroom or a hot bath together. Simply blowing your warm breath on your lover’s body can get them going. Or you can always take things up a notch with candle wax and hot oils. You can also introduce toys like vibrators, and feathers.

2. Smell

Have you ever experienced a memory being brought back quite intensely by a familiar scent? That is the power of the brain’s limbic system. Smell has the power to sway our emotions, trigger our memory, and cause sexual excitement. We recommend stocking up on scented candles and massage oils and turning on that diffuser with your favourite oil. A bonus would be finding out what your partner’s favourite perfume or cologne is and wearing it for them.

3. Taste

We all enjoy tasty things. There’s a reason lube and condoms come flavoured these days. Enjoyable tastes can amplify your sexual experience since it triggers the release of dopamine. Bring in the aphrodisiacs. A glass of wine, some chocolate-covered strawberries, and your brain is sent all kinds of erotic messages. But it isn’t only food and drink that can activate the sensation of taste. The taste of your lover’s kiss, the taste of their sweat, the taste of their body fluids, all can activate a primal part of your mind. The taste of your lover sends signals to your brain that arouse you.

4. Sound

Why is it that when our lover whispers something in our ear, we get all tingly? It’s not only because of their hot breath blowing on the sensitive nerve endings of your ear. A sonic environment can heighten your sensory awareness and trigger strong emotional responses- such as arousal. So, have you got a sexy playlist ready to go? While we know dirty talk is a fan favourite, so is hearing your partner’s breathing and their moans of pleasure, so the next time you try to stifle your sounds, let them out instead!

5. Sight

It’s all in the eyes—ever notice how your lover’s eyes dilate with arousal when you’re looking sexy? Humans are visual creatures and respond instantly to visual stimulation. This means things like eye-gazing, flattering lighting, and sexy lingerie go a long way. There’s a reason stripteases are so popular and why couples enjoy watching erotic movies together. But did you know that sensory deprivation can be just as hot? By blindfolding your partner, you’re eliminating their sense of sight, which amplifies all their other senses. A simple touch suddenly becomes more electric. If you don’t have a blindfold nearby, don’t worry—covering their eyes with your hands works just as well.
