Sensual Sex: What Is It & Why It’s the Best Kind of Sex There Is

If you’re usually one to skip over the sensual sex and get right to the rough stuff, this is why you should think twice about that.

We all know by now that there are tons of different types of sex. Slow sex, rough sex, fast sex, sex with more than one other person, and the likes. However, there is a certain type of sex that is widely overlooked, and that is sensual sex.

Why people don’t take the time to appreciate sensual sex is beyond me. It’s a kind that everyone should do often if they really want to have a good time and make the most of getting naked with their partner. It’s simply the best kind of sex there is, and if you’re not doing it, you should be.

Mixing up your types of sex is important

Do you eat the same meals over and over and over again? Probably not. If you did, you’d probably get really sick of that food pretty quickly. I hate to break it to you, but sex is basically the same as food when it comes to this. You’ll get bored if you don’t keep it new and exciting.

That being said, if you skip right to the rough stuff every single time you get into bed with your lover, you’re going to get bored easily. Sure, it’s fun and it’ll feel great, but you need some variety, and the variety that’s the best is adding in some sensual sex.

Reasons sensual sex is always the best

You won’t have sensual sex and then say it wasn’t that great. Believe me. If you do it right and make the most of it, sensual sex is simply the best for a lot of reasons. Once you start adding it into your usual routine, you’ll see just how incredible it really is.

If you’re still not convinced that sensual sex is the way to go, these reasons why it’s the best will be sure to convince you. Don’t forget that variety is the spice of life, and that includes in the bedroom. Here’s why you should add some spice to your sex life with sensual sex.

#1 It takes longer. Sensual sex isn’t the type of sex where you bang away as fast as possible like a quickie, because let’s be real, guys don’t last as long if they’re going as hard and as fast as they can. For that reason, sensual sex takes much longer, and I think we can all agree that the longer the sex is, the better it is.

#2 You feel more of everything. Sensual sex is all about feeling more of everything and feeling more of your partner. For that reason, when you have this type of sex, you really get to feel a little bit more of everything.

Every movement is kind of highlighted in its own way, and you can just enjoy the sensations. You don’t worry about moving at a certain pace or where your hands are. You just worry about feeling the other person.

#3 It’s romantic. As much as we hate to admit it, we need romance in our lives. Yes, all of us. Romance is something that keeps the relationship moving forward and if it’s missing, we can feel it.

For that reason, sensual sex is a great option to keep that romance alive because it’s really romantic. It’s very personal and emotional, and that heightens the romantic element in sex so it’s not so primal and animalistic. [Read: Romantic sex – 15 ways to go from ordinary sex to romantic fantasy]

#4 You’ll build a better emotional connection. Because sensual sex connects the two of you more, it’ll help build up that emotional connection that may be missing or very faint in your relationship. If you feel like you and your partner have been distant as of late, sensual sex can help bring you closer together.

#5 The tension builds up higher. Tension in sex can mean the difference between mind-blowing amazingness and something that is just alright. You need that tension to really bring your sex to the next level, and that’s exactly what sensual sex adds to it. The tension builds up, and the release of that tension is what makes it the best.

#6 You finish stronger. Because of all that tension, the finishing product of your sex will be something unlike anything else. When you have so much tension and anticipation and everything that sensual sex brings to the table, you finish a lot stronger than with any other kind of sex.

#7 It’s more meaningful. The difference between good sex and great sex is the meaning behind it. If the sex is meaningless, then you lose a really important element in what makes it so great. When there’s meaning behind sex, you remember it, you crave it, and you enjoy it a hell of a lot more. Sensual sex is way more meaningful.

#8 It adds variety. You don’t have to have sensual sex every single time in order to reap the benefits of it. In fact, if all you’re having is sensual sex, then it may lose its spark after a while. But when you add it in every once in a while, you’ll get the variety that you so desperately need for great sex.

If you lack variety in your sex life, there’s really nothing to look forward to. There’s nothing to get you excited for what’s to come. Having sensual sex every now and then will add the element of excitement. [Read: Top 50 kinky sex ideas everyone’s got to try at least once]

#9 You don’t have to worry about making a lot of noise. This is mainly for all of you with the kiddos asleep down the hall. Aside from the noises you make yourself, sensual sex is relatively quiet. There’s nothing major going on that would cause a ruckus and wake anyone up.

#10 Guys – it will help with your control. This mainly has to do with men not finishing so gosh darn early during sex. Sensual sex allows you to move at your own pace, to pause when you need to, and just feel the other person there. This helps men regain control and learn how to control themselves better to increase their longevity during other types of sex, too. [Read: How long should sex really last? The real score]

#11 It helps pinpoint what feels best. When you’re moving too fast during sex, it’s hard to tell what exactly made you feel so great because it’s there and gone so fast. But with sensual sex, you can slow down, hold it at a certain spot, and really discover the positions and movements that feel the best.

#12 There’s a better chance of the lady actually finishing. This is more because it’s slower and builds tension much better. It also lasts much longer, and we all know women take a bit longer than men to finish off.

It also helps the women finish because there’s an emotional aspect to it – something women often need and don’t get when it comes to sex. It helps please every aspect of what a woman needs so she can really get off. [Read: 17 pleasurable ways to have intense sex with real passion]

#13 It appeals to your instincts more. Sensual sex is something that’s much more raw and real. It’s instinctual. It’s the type of sex that you’d be having out in the wild, and for this reason, it’s simply the best. You get to let go a little bit and just enjoy being human.
