Main Video: https://youtu.be/YUL1ovHgl7Q Sensate focus should begin with designating roughly 30 minutes to an hour of uninterrupted time, two to three times a week, to practice these steps. The room should be a comfortable temperature, with no distractions, such as electronics, pets, or stimulating sounds or music. It is also recommended that alcohol or recreational drug use is avoided, as it will impact your ability to experience the sensations naturally. Couples are required to abstain from penetration, intercourse, or orgasm while they progress through the directed stages. This helps to alleviate the pressure and anxiety around performing so that each person can focus on experiencing the sensations of temperature, pressure, and texture.
