Pleasure Mapping

Pleasure Mapping is a guided exercise designed to help spouses discover how different types of touch and sensation feel across each other’s bodies. Taking turns as the explorer and receiver, spouses experiment with variations in pressure, movement, texture, temperature, and sensory instruments while communicating what feels pleasurable, neutral, or uncomfortable. Each spouse creates a personalized visual map of these discoveries, including both whole-body and genital pleasure. More than creating a guide to physical pleasure, the exercise helps couples practice curiosity, communication, and responsiveness in their sexual relationship.
