The Art of Slow Sex: When the Pause Becomes the Real Pleasure
by Estef Palacios
We live in an age where everything happens fast: we work fast, eat fast, sleep little, and often, we even make love fast. But sex isn’t meant to be a race; it’s meant to be an experience.
Practicing slow sex is an art form, one that invites us to reconnect with our bodies, our minds, and our partners, exploring a deeper level of intimacy and pleasure.
What Does It Mean to Have Slow Sex?
It’s not just about moving more slowly—it’s about shifting your intention. It means letting go of orgasm as the goal and learning to enjoy every sensation along the way.
It’s savoring the kisses, prolonging the caresses, playing with breath, listening to every moan, and noticing how desire builds, layer by layer.
The Benefits
Deeper emotional connection: Taking your time builds intimacy and closeness.
More intense pleasure: Slowing down heightens sensitivity and amplifies sensations.
Less performance anxiety: When orgasm isn’t the only goal, the pressure disappears.
True exploration: It’s the perfect moment to discover new erogenous zones and kinds of play that often get overlooked during quick encounters.
How to Practice
Start before the bedroom: Slow sex begins in the mind—with a teasing message, a lingering glance, or a light touch.
Extend foreplay: Kiss, caress, explore with your hands and tongue. Take your time.
Play with breath: Breathing in sync can deepen your connection.
Try edging: Bring yourself or your partner close to climax, then pull back—play with the tension, and release it slowly.
Engage all the senses: Soft music, candles, scents—the atmosphere shapes the experience.
Slow Sex ≠ Boring
Quite the opposite: it can be even more erotic than fast sex.
Slowness doesn’t mean lack of passion; it’s controlled intensity. A kiss that lingers longer than usual, a thrust that pauses right at the hottest moment, or a gentle touch that sends shivers down your spine... these are sparks that awaken fantasies and make the body more receptive.
An Act of Rebellion
In a fast-paced world, having slow sex is an act of rebellion—and of self-care. It’s giving yourself permission to step off autopilot and remember that true pleasure lies in enjoying the present moment, without rush or expectation.
Le soleil, l'océan et un peu de plaisir à la piscine sont les bases d'un été incroyable. C'est pourquoi SVAKOM s'est associé à KINK, (une organisation de fête LGBT) pour créer la meilleure et dernière fête de la saison, la plus inclusive jusqu'à présent, F**K Taboo Getaway Edition.
La même semaine où il a été annoncé que la marque de lingerie la plus connue au monde, Victoria's Secret, a cessé d'organiser son célèbre défilé annuel en raison du manque de diversité, elle a décidé de prendre un coup.
Le 28 juin 1969, dans un pub connu sous le nom de Stonewall Inn situé à New York, une descente de police a été effectuée contre la communauté LGBT +. Cela a conduit à d'énormes manifestations qui sont devenues le premier combat pour les droits de la communauté LGBT +.
