Much has been written about how important relaxation is for your health, in reducing stress levels and alleviating mental health issues. But beyond that, it makes us calmer, helps us relieve physical tension, and clears our mind. When our blood begins to flow more easily around the body, we feel more energetic and positive.
With that in mind, is it any surprise that we experience the best and most pleasurable sex when we are totally relaxed?
By taking conscious steps towards relaxation, you open a path to enhanced sensual well-being and better overall health.
Thinking of relaxation as a process is a good way to help you mitigate the effects of stress and pressure on your mind and body. This will allow you to be more mindful of the benefits from relaxation throughout your daily routines, rather than thinking of relaxation as a task with a deadline to be ticked off your to-do list. Give yourself some deliberate extra time and space to look after yourself, boost your mood and free your mind.
Easier said than done, perhaps – stress can be a vicious cycle. Fortunately, there are numerous ways that can help you grapple with the stress of everyday life and bring your body and mind back into balance.
For some inspiration, take a look at our varied range of sensual relaxation essentials that offer peaceful and pampering moments that can also be shared with your partner.
Communication and talking about sex isn’t overrated. Everyone’s communication style is different, but most people feel a deeper sexual connection if they talk before sex. Communication invites intimacy and brings you closer to each other.
Telling your partner how much you want them or what you want to do to them before sex helps to develop arousal, but creative foreplay also offers plenty of other ways to relax and turn up the sensuality.
Is there anything better for enhancing intimacy and arousal than an erotic massage? Nothing says care and attention like giving your partner a long, drawn-out, lustful massage. Massages are an excellent way to boost your pleasure and dissolve stresses and tensions.
Explore your partner’s body and discover which areas are particularly sensitive to your touch – start with a full-body rubdown before focusing on their pleasure zones, and let them enjoy an enchanting journey. Massage connects you physically and emotionally with your partner and increases the intimacy you share.
You can take arousing foreplay to whole new levels with our sensual massage oils, which include sexy invigorating oils, flavoured body massage oils and luxurious massage lotions. If you want some extra magic, whip out a magic wand massager – this offers a seamless transition between relaxing muscle massage and erotic foreplay massage. Glide the wand closer to the erogenous zones for arousing pulses of pleasure.
Browse our full range of massage oils and gels. If you’re curious to combine your erotic massage with sensual temperature play, choose something from our range of wonderful massage candles.

Foreplay is an essential part of the sexual experience. People often don’t realise that this can mean more than simply using fingers or tongue to smooth the way for penetrative sex.
Foreplay isn’t just a great way to get into the mood – it is often needed in order to raise arousal levels high enough to orgasm. But if you think of foreplay as a source of relaxation, you may wish to engage in a bit more of it!
The act of foreplay doesn’t just need to start with touching each other. In fact, the whole process can begin much earlier than this. Foreplay can start before you even see you partner – by sending them naughty messages in anticipation, you can level up the anticipation. You can also prepare by setting the scene, planning an outfit, and so on.
Foreplay can be a huge part of a sexual as well as an emotional experience, so don’t miss out on the pleasures and benefits of prolonged, sensual foreplay.
Take a plunge into our curated range of stimulating foreplay products to find something that stimulates your senses and relaxes your body.
Want to try it all? Kinky, erotic, sensual, sexy excitement…opt for the First Kinky Sexperience Complete Starter Kit (pictured).
