5 Ways to Experience More Pleasure in the Bedroom
We are hard-wired to seek pleasure and there is nothing more satisfying than experiencing mind, body and soul expanding pleasure in the bedroom! Pleasure that leaves you in a jelly puddle wondering what the hell just happened.
We all experience pleasure in the mind AND in the body. Exploring how the mind and body works together to deliver grade A intimate experiences will enhance your sex-life.
Here are 5 ways to experience more pleasure and up-level your sex-life:
1. Exploring Mind-Body Connection:
Pleasure is the experience of feeling satisfied and joyful. Sometimes the mind can inhibit these feelings through the stories we tell ourselves. When we explore these stories we can choose to keep the ones that enhance pleasure and let go of stories that might be preventing us from dropping into the body and experiencing unconditional pleasure.
A way to harmonise the mind and body is through mindfulness. Try focussing on your breath and focussing on sensations in the body as they arise without allowing the mind to race or start thinking about what’s next, judging the sensation or attaching a story to the sensation.
2. Changing Mindset to Prioritise Pleasure:
Shifting your mindset to prioritise pleasure in your life is a game changer in enhancing pleasure in the bedroom.
Common stories that prevents people from softening into their pleasure is that they don’t have time, are too busy or don’t deserve pleasure. Experiencing pleasure is your birthright! You deserve toe curling orgasms and full bodied bliss! These stories can be overcome by prioritising pleasure in your life. A way to adopt a pleasure-focussed mindset is to notice where in life pleasure is naturally for you. Maybe you notice the warmth of sun on your skin, the smell of a meal cooking, the sound of your favourite song coming on the radio. Tune into what is already pleasurable as opposed to what is lacking this shift often calls in more pleasure through law of attraction.
3. Being Open to Receiving Pleasure:
The concept of receptivity is at the core of experiencing more pleasure. Opening up and allowing yourself to receive pleasure can be difficult especially if you are someone who is geared towards giving. You can overcome the barriers to receiving by softening into the experience. Giving yourself permission to simply be and receive.
Communicating what turns you on with your intimate partner can help you enjoy the experience more and creates trust in opening up to fall deeper into the pleasure experience.
4. Tuning into the Five Senses:
This is the juicy part! Tuning into the 5 senses is at the crux of sensual play. When we notice how each sense uniquely turns us on or off we can use them to enhance pleasure. The 5 senses are sight, sound, touch, taste and smell.

5. Movement and Body Sensations:
Body awareness is important in experiencing pleasure. Movement and physical sensations govern the somatic experience of pleasure. Different types of movements can result in different intensities of pleasure, for example if you are holding part of your body stiff it can impact the amount of pleasure available compared to moving more freely.
Remember how your mind and body experiences pleasure is unique to you; it’s also a skill that can be learnt. Pleasure can be enhanced by applying the concept of mind-body connection, prioritising pleasure, being open to receiving, having body awareness through 5 sense perception and sensations and movements.
Your pleasure is waiting to be enhanced, once you step into its power the benefits will ripple into all aspects of life.
