The human body is an amazing thing, and it’s capable of a wide range of feelings. Your body can feel tense, stressed, painful – and it can also feel light, tingly, and pleasurable. How can you explore your own body in a safe and private way, to find out what your body likes and doesn’t like to experience? Loving yourself is a pre-requisite to truly loving others in relationships, and it’s a definite helper when it comes to navigating intimate situations with a partner. Here are some Dating Dave tips for self-exploration.
Take a warm bath or shower: Taking a warm bath or shower can be an incredibly relaxing and
sensual experience. Use essential oils, scented candles, and soothing music to create the perfect
atmosphere for exploring your body.
Massage yourself: Using massage oil, lotion, or even just your hands, give yourself a gentle massage all over your body from head to toe. Focus on areas that feel particularly tense or sore and use light pressure around erogenous zones like the neck, chest and inner thighs for added pleasure!
Explore with toys: Experimenting with sex toys is great way to explore your body in new ways at home! Try using different vibrators on various parts of your body—varying the intensity and speed as you go—to find out what feels best for you.
Touch yourself down there: Get comfortable touching yourself sexually by exploring around your genital
area with one hand while stimulating it lightly with the other (or vice versa!). Don’t forget about
taking breaks between sessions if it starts feeling too intense!
Dance naked: Put on some sexy music and dance around in nothing but your birthday suit! This is a great way to get familiar with how certain movements make you feel and which parts of your body are most sensitive when touched during movement.
The most important thing of all is to learn to love yourself. These “selfish” moments just for you are ok and perfectly normal. Life can be stressful, and taking time out to concentrate on yourself and your own pleasure from time to time can help to release energy blockages in your body. When you’re comfortable in your own skin and confident in who you are, this will shine from the outside, allowing you to attract other positive people into your life… and this is how a loving relationship with others may begin!
