The Sensual Type - Seducing the senses…

Eight of Wands

You like to make the most out of your erotic expeditions. It’s not just about where you’re going – it’s about what you can see, hear, smell, taste and touch along the way… For you, the sexual experience is also a sensual one.

The advice of the Eight of Wands is to seduce yourself from every angle. Like the lovers that enjoy each other in the lushness of their garden picnic, be generous with all your senses! They are the key to unlocking your arousal…

Suggested sextivity: Cum to Your Senses

Before your next solo session or intimate time with your partner, your assignment is to curate your environment. 

This should include:

• a feast for the eyes (mood lighting, a sexy outfit, a view etc.)
• the sound of seduction (a curated playlist, dirty-talking etc.)
• an alluring scent (perfume, fresh sheets, scented candles etc.)
• a taste of temptation (flavoured chapstick, organic oils, sexy snacks etc.)
• playful textures (sensation toys, soft pillows, sleek leather etc.)

Hedonist hook-up: This Massage Oil Candle infused with aphrodisiac scent, serves as a treat for the senses and is a great foreplay tool to add into your practice ;)

Get creative and curious about what turns on each of your senses, trying out new elements every time. If you put thought into every detail, you’ll be sure to reap the fruits of your labour…

The Energetic Type - Indulging in the invisible…

Five of Pentacles

It’s all about what you can’t see, but can feel… the anticipation, the electricity, the chemistry. If the vibe isn’t right, you’re not going anywhere. To satiate your body, one has to seduce you with the right kind of energy.

The advice of the Five of Pentacles is to give attention to the invisible. With romance in the air, the lovers kiss passionately, prolonging this moment of tension. They know that the true eroticism is in what lingers in the space between them…

Suggested sextivity: Finger on the Pulse

Foreplay is not limited to the bedroom. It’s anything and everything that can get your pulse racing… Your assignment is to treat one entire day like foreplay, whether that’s with yourself or a partner. 

Some ideas to experiment with:

• Tease your mind with titillating conversation, or play around with your tone. 
• Pay more attention to eye contact, and the quality of the attention itself that you give and receive from others.
• Get flirty in your interactions, and not just with people, but with objects and places too!

Take your sweet time to seduce yourself and delay sensual pleasures until the end of the night. The idea is to be turned on by everything – but sex.

The Sexual Type - No beating around the bush…

Three of Chalices (Cups)

Why save the best for last when you can enjoy it while you’re ravenous? You appreciate getting straight to the point – for all the pleasure lies in the pleasure itself.

The advice of the Three of Cups is to master your pleasure. Like the lovers who waste no time getting touchy, get hands-on in arousing your own desires. Practice makes perfect, after all… until you know exactly how to please and be pleased.

Suggested sextivity: The Puzzle of Pleasure

Your assignment is to treat your body or your partner’s body like an intricate puzzle… then, become the master of it. You should know your pleasure like the back of your hand…

Techniques to think about:

• the right rhythm (varying speed or consistency that feels the best)
• the fool-proof pattern (sequence of touch/play that arouses you or them)
• areas of interest (erogenous zones and sensitive spots, get VERY specific)
• the scale of intensity (how gentle or firm pressure/touch creates different sensations)
• the mannerisms of movement (a flick, a caress, a stroke, a grip etc.)

The Kinky Type - A foray into the forbidden…

Knight of Swords

You’re not one to shy away from the forbidden. In fact, it’s what lures you in. Any restricted territory on the map is sure to arouse your curiosity… For you, accessing your arousal starts with the mind.

The advice of the Knight of Swords is to lean into the taboo. Like the lovers that seize this opportunity to get kinky, it’s time to seduce yourself with some psychology. Besides, what’s more exciting than breaking the rules (of the brain)?

Suggested sextivity: The Forbidden Fruit

Your assignment is to explore the “forbidden” fruits that turn you on – specifically, things you’re afraid to admit to. This could start in the safe space of your imagination, porn, erotica, or with a partner you’re comfortable with.

Taboos to taste-test:

• a play on power (BDSM, power exchange, degradation or praise kinks etc…)
• arousal with an audience (voyeurism, exhibitionism, group play etc.)
• no-rules roleplay (daddy/mommy, boss/employee, use your imagination!)
• a public affair (wearable vibrators, going commando, getting extra sneaky etc.)
• “forbidden” body parts (feet play, anal play, armpit play etc.)

The idea is to strip away all restrictions – at the very least, in your mind. There’s a thrill that comes with keeping a naughty secret… Don’t worry, I won’t tell. 

The Shapeshifter - Open to suggestion…

The Moon

You’re open to explore any and all routes that lead to pleasure, but it all depends on your mood. Some days call for a more scenic ride, some days call for a short-cut… Every day is a new mystery adventure!

The advice of The Moon is to let your intuition lead the way. Like the two women on the beach who gaze at their reflections, look inwards for your path to pleasure. As a combination of all the other erotic blueprints, the world is your oyster waiting to be shucked. You just have to pick the right one at the ripe time…

Suggested sextivity: Pleasure Roulette

Feeling frisky, but don’t know where to start? 

1. Write down the 4 sextivities above on 4 separate post-it notes.

2. Crumple them up and store them in a little pouch or container.

3. Reach in and grab an assignment at random.

4. Let your intuition tell you if it suits your mood at this time, or if you would rather pick another assignment.

Over time, you’ll learn what drives your desires, depending on your mood and context. The idea is to get so good at listening to yourself, that you’ll always identify the spark needed to ignite your engine!
