The great sex workshop - week two

by Dr Patti Britton
kissingEngage your sensual self

We all have five basic senses - sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Believe it or not, by engaging all of your senses you will begin to move into a new realm of your own sexuality, and your lover will thank you in more ways than you can imagine. Trust me.

Here are some creative ways to engage your five senses. Do these exercises and watch your sex life improve.

Sight: Buy yourself something sexy to wear and encourage your partner to do the same. For you, it may be a slinky black dress, naughty nightwear or a good push-up bra that really boosts your cleavage. Or you may choose to wear a rhinestone chain or Indian silver anklet to anchor your sense of femininity at all times. For your lover, try a pair of pure silk boxer shorts. Using something physical to suggest an emotional or psychological feeling is a good trick.

Sound: Talking to each other during intimate moments can do wonders for your sex life. But not everyone is comfortable doing this. Women often tell me they are shy or embarrassed to talk to their mate during or about sex. To build confidence, work on your voice privately. Record yourself into a tape recorder while you practise saying sexy things to your partner, such as, 'I want you to … me', or, 'Tell me what you want me to do to you'. After listening to yourself, work on changing your tone as you see fit, to create a more sensual style.

Another great way to use sound to improve your sex life is with music. I am a huge fan of using environmental sounds to enhance your ability to relax. After all, relaxation is one of the keys to sexual satisfaction.
