When was the last time you did something for yourself because it felt good?

 

Foreplay is often thought of as the prelude, the warm up, or the preliminaries to sex.

I would like to challenge you to look at foreplay as part of your entire relationship — with a partner or with yourself. Foreplay is a mood you live in, the way you look at yourself, and the way you feel about yourself in the presence of another. It’s about building anticipation, exploration, and curiosity.

Foreplay is an invitation to practice the erotic — the most valuable ingredient for your individual self-care and your relationships. Eroticism is not sex per se, but the qualities of vitality, curiosity, and spontaneity that make us feel alive. It’s cultivating pleasure for its own sake. The erotic is about the quality of the experience, not the quantity.

At this moment, getting it done, being efficient, and our obsession with optimization has created an anti-erotic culture. But to truly experience the benefits of eroticism, we can’t be so quick to punch in and punch out. 

What would happen if you stopped focusing on the end goal of sex? But rather, if you allowed yourself to linger, take your time, savor. Can you let things unfold and explore the desires that turn you on with no other goal in sight?

Sign up for my 7 Day Challenge to receive small, sensual, playful exercises to help you practice slowing down and connecting to your erotic self.
