Flexing your erotic imagination

Flexing your Erotic Imagination

Imagine for a moment that you are laying under a lilac sky, in a field of extra-terrestrial

flowers, being penetrated by tentacles. Now envision yourself sinking into the eyes of your

lover, melting together like wax while an electrical storm pulsates in the spaces between

your touch. Where will your pleasure guide you next? Are you the main character? Or, are

you voyeuristically witnessing your own mind fuck itself into oblivion? Whether you dream

up your own fantasies or absorb inspiration from porn, cliterature / smut, ASMR, etc. there

is something I want you to consider…

Did you know that focusing on the same fantasy each time you flick the bean or stroke the

peen can impact your mental health? Just to geek out for a cute sec…repetition of a fantasy

is reinforced through reward of pleasure / orgasm and myelination of neuronal networks.

Repetition of this nature can limit mental flexibility and capacity for pleasure by reducing

arousal to a specific scenario. This can lead to desensitisation, escalation (need for a

stronger hit) and full-blown dependency. Exclusively getting off to your lover/s is risky

business and can actually impact real-life intimacy. Consistent idealisation of a person can

result in unrealistic expectations, pressure, and obsessive attachment. If you want to feel

close to your partner/s when you get off, it could be fun to experiment together.

Diversifying your fantasies will maintain a sense of excitement, responsiveness and

creativity, while supporting neurological health.

In essence, variety is the spice of life! You are the mixologist of your own mind, let’s switch

it up baby! Stretch that spectrum of arousal; ignite your senses, explore foreign landscapes,

taste the flavours of the rainbow and lose yourself in a wilderness of erotic intrigue. The

world is your sexy oyster…who knows where it will take you next…?
