This Is One Of The Sexiest And Most Useful Things You Can Do With A Partner

HuffPost spoke with several certified sex and intimacy educators who describe pleasure mapping, a guided exercise in which couples explore each other's bodies and build shared language, such as simple words like 'more' or 'less,' to communicate what feels good. Experts quoted include Pamela Madsen of Back to the Body, Sarah Tomchesson of Magic Wand, and therapist Melina Tovar, who all stress keeping the exercise low-pressure, non-performative, and free of any requirement that it lead to sex.

Recommendations include agreeing on feedback language beforehand, removing distractions like phones or something cooking on the stove, and creating a comfortable, cozy environment, with Tovar suggesting couples recreate the feel of their favorite relaxed space.
