ALL the branding folks know it, so how come many women don’t? Your sensuality is all about pleasure, pleasure and pleasure; and pleasure cannot be optimized unless all the six senses are receiving and giving pleasure on your behalf. Where does pleasure start?  With a glimpse of skin – or the first touch? Maybe it’s the sound of her key in your door. If you only make love with your eyes and hands, you are likely getting less than half the pleasure.

Sight
THIS of course is very key to sparking up the interest in the first place. Your lovers’ tryst must always have you prepared in this department. You know what keeps your man at attention, so explore it to the fullest.

For Joy, whose guy just has a thing for red undies, she goes for the kill by starting the evening with red in the first instance.
“If we are meeting up after work, I make sure I wear a red lace top to keep his imagination going out of control for what is to come”.

Sound
MUSIC has been essential to romance from time
immemorial, but still not exploited to the full. Different sounds means different things to different people. For your man, it could be the click when you remove your bra or your voice when you whisper “big boy” in his ears.

Says Folashade, a banker: my man likes to chat during lovemaking, especially early in the morning. He chats about nothing in particular, but mostly about things that will come up during his day. Sometimes we just share jokes. It makes us to connect in a way few things can, because he finds the sound of my voice sexy and soothing.

Smell

UNKNOWN to some, the scent of a woman is even more important to her sexuality than the way she looks. While it is important to keep yourself squeaky clean before a tryst, your female scents must not be washed away as this is probably the first thing your man will sniff.

For scents, the more subtle, the more sexy; and non-traditional, non alcoholic scents probably work best. Do essential oils and rosewater and if you must do perfume, have hints in your hair and between your legs…
Touch

TOUCH is another one
of those senses that have not been milked to the fullest, especially by women. Pretend that
you are an explorer or a miner and your man is your field. Let no part of him escape your fingers, toes and tongue and let your bare skin linger against his. Joy says she deliberately forgets her hands on his arms and thighs while they are in the car driving to the destination. “I make sure my touch is unforgettable- and that he is addicted to it”.

Taste
FOOD has been
associated with sensuality from time immemorial, but beyond the traditional strawberries and chocolates, look for aphrodisiacs such as watermelon.
Grace, a paediatrician, says: “I pour champagne all over myself. Instead of going out with the boys, he stays home with me and licks the champagne from between the peaks. Later, he tells me I’m a witch but I don’t mind…”

Sixth sense
If you are thinking during lovemaking, something is seriously wrong as you ought to be past reason at some point. Rather, especially during foreplay, let your instincts and only your instincts be your guide.
