Welcome to yet another edition of Beyond the DD, where I write about my life as a woman with breasts that… outsize much of the competition. This is a series about Big Boob Problems, and the joys and sorrows that come with accepting your body as it is–even if it’s something that’s considered desirable.

If you’ve been with me since Part 1, we’ve unveiled how I got here, and invasive staring in Part 2. Today I am ready to discuss the more practical aspects of a simultaneously BIG and small part of my life.

While owning a spectacular set of breasts, it does come with a number of negative aspects that cannot be ignored, along with the positive. Today, I am going to unpack impacts on physical and mental health surrounding the …”support” of big ol’ honker ownership; Pain, Surgery, and Self-Acceptance.

Check out the Full Beyond the DD Series.

Big Boob Problems – They’re a Pain

Many of us, myself included, spent time in their teenage years wishing for larger breasts. This was practically a rite of passage in the 90s. Little did I realize, back when I was wielding lil’ b-cups, that I would end up as an all-natural anomaly; a top-heavy princess with a spine that grapples with the weight it must bear.

Specifically, this pair is a pain in my neck and shoulder muscles. I frequently wince, whenever I see feminists discuss how we should all go bra-less. My poor neck! My poor spine! 😣 “Not me,” I beg. I like to keep these things lovingly packed away, so my shoulders aren’t bearing the load.

When I am not manning the “equipment” properly, I am left in sizeable amounts of pain. My left shoulder seems to struggle the most, but my spine as a whole has left chiropractors aghast, wondering exactly what’s happened to me.

Sirs, I’m sorry. But can you NOT see what you’re dealing with? As one can imagine, manning the equipment involves costly materials one cannot simply just purchase as the local department store.

Big Boob Problems – Bras are Spendy

While I adore the fashionable designs from Curvy Kate, and I am able to find bras in sister sizes that function properly, even though not every bra suits every occasion. This fact is far more apparent, when you have larger breasts.

Some clothes just look ridiculous, in a bra that prioritizes fashion. They’re never quite cut right. Many of them designed for larger gals offer FULL coverage, which doesn’t even look good under a t-shirt.

While proper sizing works to make my hourglass more apparent, sometimes I just don’t want all the attention. They always keep my breasts festooned beautifully, in their full glory, as God intended. They’re front-and-center and begging to be seen.

While it may be fun to show off once in a while, most of the time these things just get in the way. Thus I have resorted to several means to control them appropriately, depending on the circumstances.

Minimizers Are a Godsend

Many days–particularly in polite company–I prefer to wear a minimizing bra. This may sound uncomfortable, but you’re going to have to hear me out. Especially if you’re a big boobied lady, yourself!

Minimizer bras are by far the most flexible item in my lingerie chest. Not only does the right minimizer still look good under most clothes, but it is not a totally miserable experience. Though, I will say, minimizing bras are the only reason I have begin to understand why women love taking their bras off at the end of the day. However, these bad boys can take about 3-4 inches off the width of my bustline! 😱

Be that as it may, I value what they add to my overall look and figure. As for day-to-day comfort, I keep them strapped down and out of my business with sports bras. Even then, they don’t always offer the support necessary to keep my shoulders from straining. Sometimes, I require reinforcements in the form of a second sports bra. Or simply putting on a regular, uncomfortable bra.

It can be a sensory nightmare. 😅

Big Boob Problems – What About Breast Reduction?

Those who have loved me intimately preferred for me to keep such sizeable mounds, as I have entertained the idea of surgery. The truth, however, is quite simple; I am not ready to part with them.

They may be a pain, they may get in the way, but it’s my BODY. These breasts are mine, and I love them just like I love the other parts of myself that make me, ME.

While I have had both major and minor surgeries in my life, voluntary surgery is not something I have the time or energy to recover from. Not to mention, if you read Part 1 of this series, you’ll know I have a number of health issues that may make healing and recovery a far more arduous journey, than it would if I was a fully healthy person.

Accepting The Problems & My Body

While they may be a pain, and they may be worth a reduction, it is up to me to maintain my health with my naturally gifted body. This is why I must maintain a strong back, and why I must eat healthily as an adult, to keep my bones in tip-top shape.

Part of self-acceptance sometimes means accepting things that are inconvenient. While I may have once wished to own two luscious mounds of joy upon my chest, actually developing them has taught me a crucial life lesson: “Be Careful What You Wish For, Because You Just Might Get It”!

Welcome to the second volume of Pleasure Principles, the second Volume to my How To Masturbate series for those that own vaginas! Check out the first edition Pleasure Principles: Vol. 1 – Intro To The Vulva & Vagina here.

In this edition, we’ll cover the basics of sex toys. We’ll cover everything from nipple stimulators, dildos, bullets, vibrators, and clitoral suckers to get you started on your way to self-pleasure, without use of your own hands.

We’ll discuss the safest ways to use toys, how to keep them clean, and provide tips for maintaining discretion.

I’ll hold your hand. Let’s just call it “Mutual Masturbation”.

Pleasure Principles: Volume II – A Guide to Sex Toys for Vulvas and Vaginas

Nipple Stimulation

Nipple stimulators are a fantastic way to enhance your solo play sessions, with something a little atypical of many users when they learn how to masturbate. These toys work by providing intense and focused stimulation to your nipples. Here are some popular types and tips for using them safely:

• Nipple Clamps: These come in various styles, from simple clips to adjustable screw clamps. Start with beginner-friendly options and gradually explore more intense ones as you become accustomed to the sensation.These are also excellent for partner play, but that’s another blog!
• Suction Cups: These create a vacuum-like suction around your nipples, increasing blood flow and sensitivity.
• Vibrating Nipple Toys: These combine vibration with clamps or suction cups for added pleasure.

Safe Use and Cleaning:

• Always start with clean toys and hands.
• Apply a small amount of lube to the nipple area to enhance sensation and reduce friction.
• Begin with gentle pressure and gradually increase intensity as desired.
• Clean your toys after each use with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner.
• Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

How to Masturbate with Dildos

Dildos are classic sex toys designed for penetrative pleasure. In this section, we are specifically discussing the type of dildo that is manual, requiring use of your own hand to thrust them inside of yourself. This gives you a great chance to get truly intimate with yourself and see what you REALLY like. Dildos come in various shapes, sizes, and materials to cater to different preferences. There are even thrusting dildos, themed, and vibrating toys to choose from!

Here’s how to use them safely and effectively:

• Materials: Choose body-safe materials like silicone, glass, or stainless steel.
• Sizes: Start with smaller sizes and gradually work your way up if you must! It takes time to decide what you really like.
• Lubrication: Always use a generous amount of water-based lube for smoother penetration.

Safe Use and Cleaning:

• Wash your dildo with warm water and mild soap before and after each use.
• Dry it thoroughly to prevent mold and bacteria growth.
• Store it in a clean, dry place, preferably in a toy bag or container.

Bullets and Vibrators

Bullets and vibrators are versatile toys that can be used for both clitoral and internal stimulation, depending on the type you purchase. Tip: If you purchase a bullet vibrator and want to experience the fun sensations inside of yourself without risk, put the toy inside of a condom. That will make it easier to pull out when you’re finished! Keep yourself our of the ER. 👀

Vibrators come in various shapes and sizes, with different vibration settings to cater to different preferences. I recommend choosing one with a variety of settings, to increase versatility in your experience.

Types of Vibrators:

• Bullets: Small and discreet, perfect for targeted clitoral stimulation.
• Vibrators: Larger and more versatile, suitable for both internal and external use.
• Dildo: In the shape of a dildo, but battery-powered to vibrate on command while you use it to thrust.

Safe Use and Cleaning:

• Always use a water-based lube for comfort and enhanced sensation.
• Wash your toy with warm water and mild soap after each use.
• Store it in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Clitoral Suckers

Ah yes, my personal favorite of the bunch! Clitoral suckers use suction and vibration to provide intense clitoral stimulation. They are designed to mimic the sensation of oral sex and really amplify solo fun with new sensations you don’t usually get on your own. Choose from handheld devices or wearable options for hands-free pleasure, to choose how to masturbate. There aren’t too many variants of this toy, other than some being enabled for fully hands-free fun! Choose a model that has divverent vibration and suction settings to find your perfect rhythm.!

Make sure to check out my sex toy reviews for some of my favorite clitoral suckers.

Safe Use and Cleaning:

• Apply a small amount of water-based lube to the clitoral area for comfort and enhanced sensation.
• Wash your toy with warm water and mild soap after each use.
• Store it in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Tips for Discretion

Maintaining privacy and discretion is essential when exploring yourself, intimately.. Here are some tips to help you keep your play sessions private:

• Soundproofing: Choose a toy that has positive reviews for sound, or go with a manual toy. Use a blanket, pillow, or towel to muffle any sounds that may emanate from your own pleasure.
• Storage: Store your toys in a discreet, locked drawer or container.
• Timing: Choose a time when you’re unlikely to be interrupted, just as you might for a meditation session. After all, orgasms are spiritual events. 😇

We hope that by understanding the basics of different types of toys and learning how to masturbate safely can go a long way in your personal self-love sessions. Stay safe, stay clean, and enjoy all the good vibrations you’ll most certainly have cumming!

With Love,

Amara

Welcome to another edition of “Beyond the DD,” where I discuss my “Big Boob Problems” from my real life experience of having actual big boobs! This is mostly just for funsies, because I am well-aware that having larger breasts is often seen as desirable. As with many desirable things; it ain’t all it’s cracked up to be!

In Part 1 of this series, I discussed how I even inherited such a pair. In addition, I covered my range of sizes, having been all the way up to 42K at one point! Throughout my experiences, I learned much about how bra sizes work (Thank you, ABTF), and how to manage the logistics around having these two things strapped to my chest at all times.

Beyond the DD, Part 2 – Avert Your Eyes

Today, we’re discussing how much I wish people could Avert Their Eyes! 😆 If you’re a fellow busty woman, you know that bouncing boobs don’t just occur all the time. Perhaps those big mommy milkers truly ARE a marvel! Or perhaps some folks simply have not seen boobs that big before, in person.

In reality, I am somewhat small in stature, with a curvy physique. There really is no point in hammering out the reasons. The point is that it happens, and it can get quite uncomfortable at times.

Big Boob Problems – Invasive Staring

As a busty woman, I have learned to at least appear as if I have tunnel vision. It keeps me out of trouble, and keeps me from making unwanted eye contact. While I may appear aloof, trust–I am paying attention!

Be that as it may, some people truly are not as sly as they seem to think.

Men with girlfriends? You’re not slick. If your girl didn’t see you, I sure did. So does anyone I am with, including friends and romantic partners.

Have you ever had a flock of teenage boys trying to sneak a peek on the sly? Look, virgins. There are 10 of you. You look ridiculous.

Unfortunately, you have to have some level of awareness when you’re in public, as a woman. If you don’t think we’re picking up on something, most of us definitely are. Like the man I caught getting video of me at Target! 🫠

No, I Don’t Always Want to Be Perceived

On occasion, I have been known to drop a thirst trap.

However, that’s me in control of the perception. I am making a choice at that moment to be perceived in a certain way. As an introverted and mildly misanthropic person, I very likely do not want to talk to strangers. Sometimes I am in a sociable mood, and am more receptive to public attention.

These are the times when I’m dressed in line with how I want to be perceived. Though, sometimes, I wish people would just leave me alone. Then I may not feel as if I have to dress in shapeless clothes, just to avoid unwanted attention when I go to the store to pick some avocados.

Perhaps I should wear a sign!

Ain’t My Fault They’re Big

A few years ago I saw a woman online, annoyed that someone asked her to cover up. This woman was well-endowed, and was justifiably upset that someone wasn’t minding her damn business. She said, “it ain’t my fault my titties are big!”

While there may be admirers, there are also plenty of haters. If I do choose to show off what I’ve got, that’s my choice to make. Receiving hate for it is just as much of a struggle, because *I* didn’t make this choice. These BIG NATTYS came on their own, baby.

Finding My Peace

Be that as it may, these are not things I can help, in others. Just as much as they cannot help that I have big honkin’ juicy mommy milkers.

We cannot expect strangers to know and understand our boundaries. We can only do what makes us feel comfortable in any given moment, regardless of what’s happening around us. Acceptance is all about learning what you can and cannot control.

They’re exhibiting their nature. They can help how they are, but sometimes we just have to accept that some people will always be who they are and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Have you had issues accepting your body, for better or worse? Do you have Big Boob Problems? Or maybe you just like huge boobs! Let me know in the comments!

Some of us may have been conditioned to see getting messy as something undesirable. However, sometimes, with some people, it brings the most orgasmic of joys! Sploshing is the joy we speak of today, and all the delicious and wild ways it can be practiced, enjoyed, and expressed.

Today we’re giving you a primer on the uniquely messy fetish.

Types of Sploshing

Sploshing is a term that actually encompasses a number of activities. Each activity is unique in its own right, but some may be more appealing to you than others.

Some of the most popular types include:

• WAM (Wet and Messy): This involves getting covered in wet, gooey substances like mud, paint, or even food. This is the most popular form.
• Sploshing, specifically with Food: Think pies, cakes, and other sweet treats. Combined with Sitophilia!
• Slime: For those who love a good squelch, slime sploshing is the way to go. This type of sploshing involves using homemade or store-bought slime to create a messy, tactile experience. You can easily find them on Instagram!
• Muddy: Getting down and dirty in mud is perfect for those who love the great outdoors!

Whatever the approach, the key to truly enjoying this kink is embracing the mess and letting go of inhibitions. Some individuals prefer to engage in solo sessions, using substances like paint or slime to create a messy, sensory experience. Others may engage in group sessions, where multiple people get together to create a wild scene!

There is truly no singular way to enjoy this naughty and stimulating activity! Sometimes, practitioners take inspiration from other fetishes and BDSM practices, a chosen substance may be used as a form of domination or stimulation.

How to Try Sploshing

Feeling intrigued? There’s no harm in trying by yourself, to see how a solo session feels. Here are a few tips to get you started:

• Start Small: Begin with a small, controlled environment, like a bathroom or designated play area. Somewhere you can be undisturbed and comfortable.
• Control the Mess, at First: Sometimes controlling the mess is helpful for some beginners! This will help you get comfortable with the idea of getting messy. Either line your playspace with clear plastic (cheap shower curtains work great!) or get a kiddie pool!
• Then, Embrace the Mess: Remember, sploshing is all about embracing the messy, sensory experience.
• Choose Your Substance: Select a substance that resonates with you, whether it’s paint, slime, or even food. Experiment with different textures and sensations, as well!
• Communicate with Partners: If you’re engaging with a partner, make sure to communicate clearly about boundaries, desires, or any safety concerns.

Is this something you’re interested in exploring? This unique, fascinating fetish can create a world of fun. Whether you engage in solo play or with a partner, we hope these tips helped give you a good primer of what to think about.

In the realms of human expression, few things can rival the raw sensuality and emotional depth of movement and dance leading us to explore the world of Sensual Movement. When we allow our bodies to flow with intention and passion, we tap into a world of self-expression, empowerment, and unbridled sensuality. Today I want to explore the world of sensual movement and dance with you, exploring how these ancient art forms can become a potent tool for self-discovery, intimacy, and seduction.

Even if it’s as simple as dancing naked in your shower, it can get the job done! 😜

The Language of the Body

Sensual movement and dance are more than just physical actions – they are a language that speaks directly to our souls. By surrendering to the rhythm of our bodies, we can convey emotions, desires, and intentions in a way that transcends words. This primal form of communication awakens our senses, igniting a deep connection with ourselves and those around us.

Embracing Sensual Movement

Sensual movement is not about perfection; it’s about embracing our imperfections and celebrating our uniqueness. It’s about letting go of inhibitions and allowing our bodies to express the full spectrum of human emotion. As we move, we tap into our inner sensuality, unleashing a cascade of feelings, desires, and sensations that can be both liberating and intoxicating.

The Art of Seduction

Sensual movement and dance can be a powerful tool for seduction, not just in the bedroom, but in everyday life. By owning our bodies and expressing our desires through movement, we become irresistible magnets, drawing others into our orbit. This is not about manipulation; it’s about embracing our authentic selves and sharing that energy with the world.

Finding Your Inner Rhythm

So, how do you tap into the world of sensual movement and dance? The answer is simple: start moving. Put on some music that speaks to your soul, and let your body respond. Don’t worry about technique or perfection – focus on the sensations, emotions, and desires that arise as you move. As you surrender to the rhythm of your body, you’ll unlock a world of self-expression, sensuality, and empowerment.

In the words of the great dancer, Martha Graham, “Movement never lies.” As we embrace the power of sensual movement and dance, we’ll discover that our bodies hold the secrets to our deepest desires, and that the language of movement is the most honest, raw, and seductive of them all.

Sensual movement and dance are not just forms of self-expression; they’re gateways to a world of intimacy, connection, and seduction. By embracing our bodies and unleashing our inner rhythm, we’ll tap into a power that’s both primal and transcendent. So, take the first step – let your body speak, and watch as the world responds to your self-love and self-care.

Today, I am excited to review with you the aphrodisiac qualities of honey! The naturally sensual syrup is sticky, it’s sweet, and has qualities that make more than your food and your luscious bodies good enough to eat! The golden elixir we spoon into our tea serves many health benefits, even as just a natural sweetener. However, we find that perhaps this divine food has much more than meets the eye.

Sinfully Sweet: The Aphrodisiac Qualities of Honey

The sticky, sweet elixir has enraptured us for a millennia. Famously, modern archaeologists have found pots of honey, thousands of years old, still preserved in ancient Egyptian tombs. Wouldn’t you know it? It was still good enough to eat.

Evidence suggests that this tempting treat can stir a little more than just your tea; it can stimulate that libido. Honey can stir up feelings of romance and passion, you may not expect or even consider as a result of regular honey consumption. Heck – I consume it almost daily! Maybe that’s why my libido is out of control. 🧐

While honey may have many benefits outside of this realm, today we uncover how the ancient nectar of desire earned its reputation as an aphrodisiac.

The Nectar of Aphrodite

From mythology to reality, honey has long been associated with love and lust. This is a sweetener that is rich and deep, with complex notes of flavor. It’s the essence of nature.

Honey is just a sexy substance, to begin with, if you think about it. It flows slowly, enveloping every molecule it rolls over with its golden hue. Just imagine the flow of honey over your bare skin, slightly thicker than the sweat rolling off your body in an act of passion. Imagine as it rolls down the skin of your lover, allowing you to taste them with just a little extra sweetness. The taste alone, for true gourmands, is sensually delectable as it is visually appealing, flowing slowly over bare skin.

While I may have lost track of that for a minute, I wanted to take a moment to note that this is a testament to how useful honey has been in natural medicines. Before modern medicine, honey has been used to treat sexual dysfunction and boost libido.

A Spoonful of Seduction; Honey as an Aphrodisiac

While honey provides the utmost of sensory pleasure, this tempting treat contains nutritive minerals that may serve to benefit you in the bedroom. It turns out that honey has been linked to protective roles in reproductive health! And we all know a healthy and virile reproductive system means a more vigorous sex life!

Honey contains a couple of important nutrients;

1. Boron, which helps regulate hormone levels, and
2. Nitric oxide, is the chemical responsible for erections, and thus is important to maintain within the body to stay 🍆

Mother Nature Makes Certain We Get Down

This study states that in reproductive health, honey has been shown to improve fertility, offers protection for post-menopausal women, and can even restore testosterone levels over time. This means more virility, even increasing sperm quality.

Research shows that just a three-ounce helping of honey can significantly increase nitric oxide levels in the blood. Plus, the natural sugars in honey provide a quick energy boost, perfect for those late-night rendezvous when you need a little extra stamina. 😇

The Bee’s Knees of Romance

Honey’s aphrodisiac qualities extend beyond the delicious taste. Its luscious sweetness can set the mood, making it a perfect addition to a romantic evening as a part of a charcuterie or cheese board or even just in the bedroom. Oh! Maybe a honey-flavored massage oil? Imagine the intoxicating scent that could be stemming from your lover.

Incorporating honey into your love life is both easy and enticing. Whether you’re drizzling it over strawberries for a playful treat or adding a dollop to your evening tea to set a cozy mood, honey’s sweetness is sure to add a touch of romance to any encounter.

So next time you’re looking to spice things up, consider reaching for the honey jar – one of our favorite aphrodisiacs – and savor the sweet, sensual buzz it brings. Whether enjoyed for its taste, its texture, or its ability to boost libido, honey is a versatile and delightful way to add a little sweetness to your sex life.

You may love chocolate, but have you considered that you may love chocolate even more so because of an array of nutritional benefits and mood boosters? Chocolate is considered an aphrodisiac, and today we’re going to unpack a little bit more about how it became so well associated with love and lust.

You may seem keen to indulge in a piece of chocolate every so often (or daily–I do not judge), but there’s a rabbit hole beneath the simple pleasure of chocolate titillating your tastebuds. So what is it about chocolate that makes it such a potent symbol of desire?

An Indulgent Love Affair Between Chocolate and Your Hips

The very word conjures up images of rich flavors, and an experience that is as luxurious as it is comforting. Chocolate is among the top indulgent foods in the world, and is especially enjoyed around love-imbued celebrations.

Just a little bite of creamy decadence is the perfect sweet stimulation, to bridge an indulgent evening with a steamy finish.

The Food of the Gods: Chocolate Aphrodisiac

We give credit to ancient Mesoamericans, who were the first to understand the full body effects of chocolate. The history of chocolate began with the Maya, who were probably the first people in South America to cultivate the cocoa plant.

The Aztecs adopted many traditions and trade from the Mayans, carrying on the cacao traditions. They called it “xocolatl,” an ancient Nahuatl word meaning “bitter water”. This drink was nothing like the sweet confection we enjoy today. Instead, it was adorned with other chiles, herbs, and other flavors to develop a medicinal beverage, famously enjoyed by Aztec nobility. It was referred to as the “Food of the Gods” and was presented at the table of Emperor Moctezuma II by the Aztecs.

Nevertheless, this precious bean was prized for its mood-enhancing qualities. The Aztecs, in particular, believed chocolate to be a powerful aphrodisiac, among many other full-body qualities. So much so that the aforementioned Emperor was said to consume it in large quantities to fuel his romantic escapades among his harem!

The Chemistry of Craving

Chocolate contains a unique blend of compounds that can stimulate the brain and induce feelings of euphoria and pleasure.

The velvety texture and decadent flavor is more than just a treat—it’s a prelude to euphoria. Chocolate’s potent blend of phenylethylamine (PEA) and anandamide stimulates the brain in a similar way to the feeling of a lover’s touch. No wonder we love our chocolate so much!

Phenylethylamine isoften referred to as the “love drug,” because it can trigger the release of dopamine and norepinephrine. These are the same wonderful brain chemicals that bring on the feeling of falling in love!

So when I say a decadent chocolate cake tastes like “love,” I most certainly mean it.

Chocolate Aphrodisiac – Sensual Texture and Flavor

Chocolate is an incredible sensory experience. It’s savory, it’s sweet, evoking a delicious cocktail of brain chemicals!

The sensory experience of eating chocolate is another reason it’s associated with romance. Since chocolate has a creamy texture, the way it melts in your mouth can be likened to an intimate embrace. Similarly, dark chocolate, with its intense and slightly bitter notes, is particularly seductive, offering a sophisticated experience that can heighten the senses.

A Heart-Healthy Treat for Two

Beyond its ability to enchant the senses, chocolate also boasts health benefits that can contribute to a vibrant love life.

Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants called flavonoids, which have been shown to support heart health by improving blood flow. And we all know what better blood flow contributes to, right?

No? Well, it gives the body a much *ahem* easier time rising to the occasion, by clearing the path for blood to flow into our sensitive erogenous zones.

Eat up, Buttercup.

We think that there are many excuses to enjoy chocolate. It’s a delicious treat that provides good nutrition and brain chemicals that make us nourished in more ways than one.

Unwrap a timeless aphrodisiac that whispers to your deepest desires. With its rich history, mood-boosting compounds, and sensual appeal, chocolate is the perfect ingredient for a little romance. Don’t forget to take a look at Hot Date Nutrition! Here I talk more about aphrodisiac foods, and how to indulge in them a little more frequently!

So go ahead, surrender to the seduction of chocolate, and let the sparks fly as they may! ✨

Create a fall-themed self-care routine that incorporates seasonal ingredients like pumpkin and cinnamon into your body scrubs and face masks. Light candles and snuggle up with a good book, allowing the soft glow to warm your skin and soothe your senses.

Savoring the Flavors of Fall

Fall is a season of abundance, and our plates should reflect that. Incorporate seasonal produce into your meals, focusing on the textures and flavors that awaken your senses. Try recipes that feature ingredients like figs, pomegranates, and dark chocolate – known aphrodisiacs that will leave you feeling satisfied and sensual.

Engaging the Senses Through Style

As the weather cools, our fashion choices can become more intentional. Experiment with fall fashion that feels good against the skin, like soft knits, silk scarves, and leather boots. Don’t be afraid to layer up and slowly undress, savoring the sensation of each piece of clothing as it’s removed.

Fall Fitness: Moving with Intention

Fall is the perfect time to get outside and connect with nature. Try hiking or yoga in the crisp fall air, focusing on the sensation of your feet touching the earth and the wind in your hair. For indoor workouts, focus on fluid movements and body awareness, like Pilates or dance.

Autumn Self Care – Sensual Exploration and Play

Fall is a season of exploration and discovery. Try new erotic activities, like temperature play with ice or warm oils, or experiment with different types of sensual touch. Take the time to connect with your body and desires, and don’t be afraid to try something new. Even solo!

Autumnal Aromatherapy

The scents of fall are warm and inviting, evoking feelings of coziness and comfort. Try diffusing essential oils like sandalwood, vanilla, and clove to create a sensual atmosphere. You can also create homemade room sprays featuring these scents to evoke the essence of fall.

Connecting with the Earth

Fall is a season of harvest and abundance, and our connection to the earth should reflect that. Try grounding practices like walking barefoot on fallen leaves or meditating outdoors. Take the time to connect with the natural world and its cycles, and allow that connection to inform your sensuality.

Reflective Journaling

As the seasons change, take the time to reflect on your journey thus far. Ask yourself questions like “What am I grateful for?” “What do I desire?” and “What do I need to let go of?” Document your sensual journey through the fall season, and watch as you grow and transform.

Embracing our sensuality during the fall season is a radical act of self-love. It’s a reminder that our bodies are worthy of pleasure and comfort, and that our desires are valid and important. As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, take the time to connect with your sensuality and allow it to guide you through the season.

If you’re naturally sensual, you have a bit more of a sensual self-care routine than others. What I mean by “sensual self-care”, is incorporating a little bit of romance in your self-care routine. This is outside the sexual pleasures, but I feel like adding sensuality into your day can add a little more oomph into your overall sexuality. 

Sensual self-care isn’t an explicitly feminine thing, but it’s certainly a thing I associate with my personal femininity. And really, I believe femininity is something a woman decides for herself. First of all, whether to express it or not to begin with! 

As a lover girl, I love incorporating a little romance into my day. Also, as a lover girl, I really love to find little ways to love myself along the way. The core of self-love really is the little things. At the end of the day, self-love is what you make of it. It can even be as small as buying yourself a tiny little treat. Why? Because you’re such a cutie patootie! 

Be that as it may, gorgeous, I have prepared a few ways to add a little romance into your routines, to indulge your senses, and pamper yourself with gentle, loving care. 

Make Sensual Self-Care Easy

• Candlelit Prep: Light a candle while getting ready, or winding down for the night, to create a warm, intimate ambiance.
• Silk Robe Ritual: Low effort! Do your makeup and hair while wearing a luxurious silk robe to feel like royalty. 
• Sensual Snacks: Indulge in sensual, indulgent snacks like chocolate-covered strawberries or creamy cheeses. Fruits with nuts and/or honey are also nice, healthy choices. A little indulgence never hurt!
• Sensual Sound: Listen to ASMR or binaural beats designed to stimulate sensuality and relaxation.
• Sensual Stretching: Practice gentle, sensual stretches while getting ready, like shoulder rolls or hip circles.
• Moonlight Moments: Take a few moments to gaze at the moon, connecting with its sensual, feminine energy. No, really! It’s an easy meditation practice to still the mind a bit, before carrying on with your nightly routines.
• Gentle Grooming: Practice gentle, loving grooming habits like brushing your hair with a soft-bristled brush. Get a pretty one, and a beautifully scented hair oil. Make this your nightly ritual.
• Sensual Bathing: Take a candlelit bath or shower, and use soaps, scrubs, and lotions. Use these products in scents that are known to have aphrodisiac qualities, like jasmine, rose, or sandalwood.
• Sensual Skincare: Incorporate facial massage into your skincare routine! This can be a great way to connect to yourself, and keep your skincare routine fresh. 

These suggestions are designed to be easily integrated into your daily self-care practices, enhancing the sensual aspects of your routine without requiring significant changes or investments.

They aim to engage all your senses, fostering a deeper connection with your body and promoting a sense of well-being and self-love. They can simply be done by anyone who wants to add a little more indulgence in their day. Remember, when it comes to all love AND self-love– even the little things count!
