Most people think the goal of good sex is to feel something. But what if a large part of your struggle is that you are not sure how to feel in the first place. It’s time to talk about pleasure mapping! There is a difference between being in a sexual situation and being in your body during a sexual situation. The first is physical proximity. The second is something else entirely. It is the difference between watching yourself from above and actually being present in your own skin.
