the anchor holding the tools and instruments being used , they can be resourceful in assisting in many pleasurable experiences and orgasms .
From nails and fingers to knuckles and wrists , each hand feature can stand alone in providing sensation as well as concurrently together . Being creative and spontaneous in exploring new kinks and learning whether or not you enjoy being scratched , punched , or even fisted can lead you down a path of new self discoveries .
ing sounds of metal cuffs or even the swing of a whip or flogger . Trying A . S . M . R while blindfolded or deprived of other senses can make for extreme sensations that can potentially provide a pleasurable experience . Not everyone finds pleasure or experiences any form of stimuli from A . S . M . R and this shouldn ’ t be incorporated without consent .
Listening to different genres of music during a scene or exchange is a great way to provide various sensations and stimulate different emotions as well . Music can be healing and therapeutic ; incorporating a playlist selected by all partners involved could also be a great way to explore a deeper connection with someone and may even entice an intense exchange . Changing the genre of music to match with different kink activities could also provide different emotional sensations . Emotional detoxing and healing during power exchanges and play scenes are normal and practiced widely by a host of lifestyles who find comfort in the exchange of power and being in the moment . Incorporating musical therapies and sounds could also be associated with A . S . M . R , but it is all about the intention and purpose of what is being used during any scene as well as the setting .
The Feel of Touch
Our hands are the most used tools in moments of experiencing sensation . When they ’ re not being used as the actual devices , but as
A few different parts of the hands that assist in the feel of touch that can be explored are the palms . Just like the soles and heels of the feet , palms of hands contain thick keratinized layers of epidermis ( skin ) that help protect those areas from penetration and physical damage , since they are used for grip . The deep ridges deeply embedded in the skin will make for great areas to stimulate . Palms are structured to resist high levels of trauma , but are also highly sensitive due to the large amount of nerve endings from deep within . The spectrum of sensations could range from stingy and thuddy to sharp and dull . Palm sensory stimulation during a kinky exchange could be practiced using finger nails lightly grazed against the surface of the palms . Also using medical play devices , such as a Whartenberg pinwheel that is designed to produce a neurological sensation for physicians to test a human ’ s reactions . Rolling the Whartenberg pinwheel across the palms of the hands and even including the fingers to produce an intense sensation , especially incorporated with other things such as bondage and electro play sensation , is amazing when able to explore multiple different kinks in one setting and achieve an abundant amount of sensations .
When exploring kink with others , be transparent about any pre-existing health issues , past traumas associated with any kinks or activities planned to be practiced . Communicate and discuss what is being felt as well as safe words . Avoid areas on the skin that are broken , rashes or lesions when participating in any sensation play to avoid any potential infections or diseases . It is always suggested to provide each play partner with full STD panel results if there will be any exchange of bodily fluids including from the mouth , especially saliva .
All humans experience sensory play differently . Our neurological systems are specific to us , which is why some people can experience pain on scales others would not fathom . We as humans also have our own life experiences and play vital roles in how one perceives life and endures sensations . Some things may trigger one individual , while others may find enjoyment and pleasure in the same experience . Being open to new experiences and perspectives is the key to a successful journey in the overall adult alternative lifestyles .
