Research shows that sexual anticipation activates several parts of the brain, including our motivation and learning center.
When we anticipate sexual pleasure, our brain begins to make connections between the anticipation and the pleasurable experience itself. This process helps us learn and remember the sensations and experiences associated with sexual pleasure, which can contribute to future anticipation and enjoyment.
Foreplay is more than intercourse itself. It's an experience that builds the foundation for a deeper connection, fun and excessive pleasure.
Read on for some fantastic foreplay Do’s and Don’ts.
