Pleasure Mapping
Thursday, 8 May, 2025
This audio is the guided pleasure-mapping audio.Some guidelines to follow for pleasure mapping: Before starting the practice, find a private and comfortable environment. You can do this in the bath, shower, or lying in bed. Minimize distractions as much as possible – silence the phone, lock the door, etc.You can be fully or partially unclothed, whatever feels comfortable to you. As you continue to get more comfortable with the exercise, you can take it further than what’s in the guided audio and expand to using body oil, lotion, lube, or other textures.Your eyes may be open or closed, whichever allows you to best focus on sensation. The focus of this exercise is not arousal or orgasm specifically (although that is welcome), but rather just to pay attention to pleasurable sensation and explore that.This is just information gathering. Your mind will likely wander during the exercise or judge your experience. That’s normal. When that happens, refocus on the physical sensation and breathe. Slow down.Just get curious about what feels good. When you’re ready, start the activity.Activity To Do: Pleasure Mapping SessionListen and follow along with the guided pleasure mapping audio included in this moduleWrite in your journal the answers to these questions: - What part of your body was most pleasurable to touch? - What type of touch felt best? - What positive emotions came up? What negative emotions? Are these associated with a particular part of your body? - Did you notice any automatic thoughts arise during the exercise? What were they? Were they connected to a particular area of your body? Credit for basis of this activity: Desire by Dr. Lauren Fogel Mersy et. al. Support the show
