Pleasure at Your Fingertips
Deliberate Orgasm Article

In sensuality, it makes perfect sense that in order to precisely produce optimum orgasm in your own or your partner's body, the hands will play a considerable role.

The fingertips are richly endowed with nerve endings and are very sensitive.

The hands are incredibly versatile and sensitive, and they operate with exacting accuracy. The exposed glans of the clitoris, even in an engorged state, is often as small as a pea. On such a small area of the human body, how are you going to get RIGHT ON THE SPOT? Reliably, effectively and consistently producing optimum orgasm calls for the precision of the fingertips.

The tiny ridges in the fingertips, whose roughness make it easier for us to grasp objects, are randomly formed, resulting in the unique, swirling weather systems called "fingerprints".

Our hands and our fingers have many more nerve endings in one spot than our back. You can experiment with this for yourself by using a few pins and sticking them on your finger and then again on your back. When you stick one, two, or three pins on your finger you should be able to tell exactly how many pins there are. When you do this on your back within a small area of about 1 inch or so, you would feel one pin or all three pins as one sensation. We use our fingers to tell us many things about our environment, so it is essential to have those extra nerve endings there.

The sensitivity of the fingertips reveals itself in the use of Braille. Braille is used everywhere, from elevator panels to books to street crossing signs. In the book The Natural History of the Senses, Diane Ackerman writes extensively on the sense of touch: "Braille can be read quickly, and people are always looking for better ways to use it. A recent study reported in Education of the Visually Handicapped, suggests that Braille can be read more accurately and efficiently if the readers move their fingers vertically over the dots rather than horizontally, because the fingertip’s touch receptors are more sensitive when used that way."

Think of all of the things that you do with your hands. All the details that you can touch and feel, decipher and detect with your fingertips. As a sensualist, you can explore these sensations. Slow down and experience for yourself the sensitivity that you feel with your fingers: Up and down, side to side, in circles, with a wet finger or a dry one. Make it feel as good to your finger as you can. What do you feel?
