In Reply to: What are your sensual goals for the New Year? posted by The Welcomed Consensus on December 31, 2009 at 10:39:

I have never really thought of having sensual goals or even what that would mean before receiving your newsletter on the topic. And the timing is quite excellent. I am in a newer relationship (2 months) and we have taken things slow in terms of sex, but instead focusing on the broader 'sensuality'. Taking that into consideration, here are my sensual goals, at least for the next few months:

1) Set time aside 3 nights (or weekend days) to be sensual together, i.e. massaging, baths, sexing.

2) When we are apart be sure to spend sensual time with myself, looking in the mirror and touching to be more connected to my body and appreciating it where it's at right now (I am in the process of loosing 50 lbs, have 18 more to go.)

3) To use Doing as a way to have him learn more about my body, and use it to learn about his. I have yet to Do him, but we have been talking about it and I am anticipating it happening soon.

4) Exercise regularly in ways that I enjoy like walking, hiking and dancing.

5) Cook a nice meal together 2 times a month trying new and-or favorite recipes, and inviting friends sometimes to share these meals.

6) Develop friendship with other people and couples we can talk about our sensual life together.

7) Take a retreat course from the Welcomed Consensus by summer, the 3 or the 5 day couples retreat.

I look forward to reading others goals too, maybe I'll get even more ideas. Happy New Year Everyone!
