What is a focus on sensation?
Sensate Focus is a number of graded steps used in sexual therapy to develop greater intimacy between two partners and to deal with sexual relationship dysfunction. The idea of this practice comes from Virginia Johnson and William Masters, whose cooperation in the second half of the 20th century is considered to be some of the most important in understanding human sexual behavior. It is also fair for the state masters and Johnson to be involved in relatively controversial projects such as a homosexual conversion program. On the other hand, the Sensate focus remains one of their more permanent contributions and many couples that try this practice when looking for sexual therapy, or because it is included in many sexual books.
The main focus of the sensational focus is that couples often divert from intimate pleasure by considering orgasm as the only desirable and real goal of any sexual meeting. For a man or a woman it may be a challenge, leading to performance failure, lack of interest in sexu or inability to consider sex pleasant. These positions gradually reduce the sex life of the couple or create tension in the relationship. Then you can observe vicious cycles with dissatisfaction in sex life, which leads to disaster in marital life, leading to even greater dissatisfaction in sex life.
For the arrest of this process, pairs can perform various exercises designed to increase the focus on many ways as touch and intimacy value, and these exercises initially do not include any involvement in the genitalia. The couples are encouraged to spend the time to spend between themselves and focus on things like touch, rear friction and hugging. As the exercise proceeds, more involvement in the body parts traditionally considered sexy type.
Such exercises to increase the focus on sensing could be performed within a few weeks or months depending on the time of the pair in therapy. In any form of sexual therapy orCounseling in pairs can discuss the results of their experience with their therapist and decide to repeat or continue, depending on these results. When these exercises work, their de-impact on orgasm usually puts pressure on the need to perform in some "set" during sexual intercourse or other sexual experience.
focus on the pleasure of non -sexual touch and intimacy is often particularly useful for men suffering from anxiety for performance or for women who are difficult to excite sexually. Removal of orgasm as an end point and reminding of couples of many pre -xual ways in which community can be achieved can be very useful. Exercise could be adapted in one way or another to match specific problems, and this greater specificity can be useful for couples that face unique exposures.
