One of the more interesting aspects of conscious sensuality is the role of speed can play in conscious sensuality. You may have experienced yourself how it feels to be touched in different ways and how you react to that touch. If not, imagine this: In an intimate moment, someone puts their hand on your arm. You would probably enjoy the fact that this creates a physical connection, but that might be where it ends. What if the hand applies pressure to your arm? Or the hand only touches you very slightly? The sensation would be totally different in any of these (and many other) cases. Pressure will most certainly get your attention and heighten your senses, but it could go both ways: it could be slightly threatening (and appeal to your slightly kinky side), or it could create a sense of safety. Soft touch tends to be very sensual, especially if the touch only reaches the hairs on the skin, like the “ghost of a touch”. Any and all of these options may be sensual, but just imagine adding an edge to this: if that hand does what it does VERY SLOWLY, things will be even more interesting! Not only do you have the sensory experience, but you’ll add an element of expectation, that sense of ‘stop, but don’t stop’ that is the essence of so many deep experiences. Have you ever given some thought to the question why it’s so sensual to touch knees under a table, or slide a naked foot up someone else’s leg, or put a hand on someone’s thigh? There is a level of secrecy, of course, but all those movements tend to be slow and sensual. slow is sexy
