Tonight, we are exploring the 5 Senses and the feelings and emotions they can invoke and how each of the senses individually fit as a whole together.

1. Does anyone know what the 5 Senses are?

2. Looking at Sight first, how can sight play a part in sexual arousal and BDSM?

Dressing in something sexy – the viewers experience of that sight heightens their sexual arousal
Reading erotica – provokes thoughts and desires and in the minds eye of what they would like to experience
Watching erotica – visually appealing, evokes stimulation
Watching a BDSM scene or demonstration
Watching your partner in play, looking for signs that they are aroused
Seeing glazed eyes, goose bumps on skin, a certain smile
Removing sight – to heighten senses

3. Sight can be considered our first learning tool. What have you seen that has helped you in your BDSM journey?

4. Many people are visual people and sight plays an important role in their connections to others but can that be an impairment?

5. Removing someone's sight can heighten the senses but what are the dangers we need to look out for by doing so?

6. Moving onto Smell. Do you find smell increases your sexual desire or do certain smells turn you right off?

7. Do pheromones excreted from the body propel the need and desire for sex?

8. What can you do with smell to increase sexual desire?

9. What are some ways you can remove smell and what is object of doing so?

Moving onto Sound.

10. Sound can often set the scene to any play session or intimate encounter what sounds have you used to enhance the mood?

Music – different beats, songs, create different atmospheres
The use of music or sounds to bring on confusion or irritation or the sense of calm
Whisper in an ear
Using blindfolds, to increase the sense of sound thus creating the element of surprise

11. What are other reasons sounds are so important to play?

Partner can hear if someone is in distress
Listening to breathing patterns
Listening to the Moans, the grunts, the dialogue, lets you know the person is being affected whether positive or negative by their tones

12. What are the benefits of removing someone’s ability to hear?

13. Our next sense is Taste, what are some of the ways you can use taste in play?

Overwhelm the senses with different types of tastes, Hot, Spicy, Sour, Bitter, Tarte, Sweet, Savoury, Salty
Textures – Jellies, cream, sauces, crème brulee or ice cream
Different temperatures of food – Ice cold, warm, hot
Bring food into the bedroom use as part of your play, feeding each other, or tasting each other
Using each other as a platter
Teasing with food or with liquid

14. How can you use Taste to increase your sexual cravings?

Aphrodisiac teas
Aphrodisiac foods - figs, oysters, strawberries, watermelon, chocolate, asparagus, ginseng

15. What are somethings you should watch out for when taste is involved?

Moving on to our final sense Touch

16. The sense of touch can evoke and provoke many emotions, what do you think of some of these maybe?

17. Touch can be enhanced and or denied, how do you think this can be achieved in play?

Satin Sheets
Clothing worn – latex, rubber, silk, satin, leather
The feel of a Pinwheel opposed to a Feather
The feel of a spank of a hand opposed to flogger, paddle or whip
The desire to be touched, but not touched
A subtle touch to let you know they are present
The ***ful touch
Hot wax vs cold ice
Removing your sight so you don’t know when you will be touched to heighten the sense of touch
Removing your ability to be touched

The senses can work harmoniously together but when you remove one or more others become heightened.

18. In your play what senses do you enjoy the most and why? and which ones do you hate losing the most?

19. What is your favourite combination of senses? Either removed or enhanced?

20. Any other final thoughts on the 5 Senses.
