Sensuality is the nature of how in tune you are with your senses — sound, sight, smell, taste and touch. It opens a powerful gateway to experiencing our raw emotions. Accessing our sensuality allows us to feel deeply connected to ourselves and to others. In order to connect with your sensuality you would need to connect with your surroundings and whole self first.

While sensuality may be often confused with sexuality, the two are pretty different. Sensual experiences do not have to lead to sexual ones. However getting in tune with your sensuality can improve or heighten your sexual experiences. Without the practice of intentionally savoring sensations in our bodies, we can fall into the habit of using our bodies as goal-oriented instruments. This can lead to sexually-repressive practices, which can cause a disconnect from the enjoyment of sex.

Sexuality includes feeling aroused, turned on, horny, and a physical desire for sexual stimulation. However, we can neglect and overlook the feelings associated with sex. In fact, women can have sex without being turned on.

In our community it is easy to lose the organic feel of your sexuality and getting connected with your sensuality can help you regain or keep the arousing sensations sex should bring. If you find yourself struggling with sexual enjoyment, connect with your senses regularly and intentionally.

Below you can find some ways to explore your senses. You might be surprised that the list contains actions we do daily, but this time, the goal is to do these actions thoughtfully.
