10 Sexy TV Shows You Should Stream At Home Now
Some of the best advice we've heard in relation to finding erotic pleasure during this period of lockdown came from Esther Perel:
"You won't necessarily be filled with desire in this time. But there might be certain openness, willingness to connect to pleasure. Have curiosity about where an imaginative thought or spark of inspiration will take you."
She went on to explain that using all the senses at your disposal can open up your erotic world so far beyond the confines of your home - what are the things you can smell, touch, hear, see that turn you on?
