It’s not always visual.

When people think of adult materials, sensual videos and pictures are what tend to come to mind. Yet adult materials don’t have to be relegated strictly to the visual realm. Some couples may find that audio-based materials may be more up their alley.

For example, simply “talking dirty” may stimulate sensual interest in a new way. If a couple tends to use technical terms when referring to their organs or their actions, they may respond positively to getting “down and dirty” with their language during sensual activity.

Role-playing is another option. A couple decides on a sensual-based scenario and takes on the guise of characters in that scenario. For example, a man may play a policeman pulling over a woman for speeding. The woman explains the sensual favors she would do to get out of receiving a ticket, and the couple moves forward from there.

Or some partners may simply enjoy coupling while listening to (but not watching) an adult video. The sounds of other couples moaning and groaning may stimulate more than one’s audio senses.

But visual can be good.

Of course, “traditional” adult materials are also a worthy option. Assuming that both partners are interested in exploring this together, it still helps to discuss a few things in advance:

• Comfort level. Are both partners equally interested, or is one “pushing” the other? There’s not necessarily anything wrong with asking about it, but partners need to be sensitive and realize that some people simply may not be receptive.

• Genre. A man may be intensely into a sensual video in which one guy is serviced by a bevy of beautiful women. His mate may also be into this – but then again, she very well may not. It’s a good idea to determine in advance what areas of adult materials a couple wants to explore; in general, it’s usually best to start with fairly “straightforward” adult content.

• Share. Couples should establish that sharing their thoughts about the adult materials – whether during or after the viewing – is acceptable and can lead to better sensual activity. For example, a woman may want to point out that the position a couple is using onscreen might be a lot of fun, or a man may want to say that the way the actress is stroking the actor’s member is exactly the way he likes to be fondled. It’s also okay to continue this conversation when the couple has moved on to engaging in sensual activity themselves. Saying, “Can you enter me the way he did?” or, “Try holding me that way” while in the midst of coupling can be valuable.

Experiencing adult materials together can lead to better sensual activity for many couples. Of course, a man wants to make sure his manhood is in peak condition for the sensual activity that results, so he needs to regularly apply a top-notch male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). Making sure the crème include L-arginine is another good idea. L-arginine is involved in the production of nitric oxide, which in turn is essential for keeping male organ blood vessels open – an important factor in performance health. Also key: selecting a crème with acetyl L-carnitine. The manhood often becomes de-sensitized due to rough handling. Acetyl L-carnitine is neuroprotective and helps to maintain proper member sensitivity so that the organ experiences all those pleasurable sensations.
