Sensate focus is a therapeutic method designed to enhance intimacy and reduce performance anxiety by focusing on physical sensations rather than performance.
Sensate focus involves a series of exercises where partners take turns touching and being touched in a mindful way, without the pressure to perform sexually. These exercises start with non-genital touch and gradually progress to more intimate areas. The goal is to shift the focus from performance and orgasm to sensation and connection. This technique can help couples rediscover physical intimacy, reduce anxiety, and build trust. It encourages couples to communicate their preferences and explore each other’s bodies in a non-judgmental environment.
Sensate focus techniques can significantly enhance intimacy and connection between partners. By focusing on sensation and communication, couples can improve their sexual relationship.
