Music can greatly influence your mood. Compile a playlist of songs that make you feel sexy. We’ve actually created one for you! DM us on Instagram, and we’ll send you a link to the playlist!

Play with warmth and coolness—ice cubes or warming oils and wax can offer surprising sensations.

Introduce products into your solo play for new forms of pleasure and exploration. Try out Deem, the first intimacy product designed to help Arab women discover their sexuality and pleasure on their own terms.

19. Try sensory deprivation.

If you’re feeling adventurous, try blindfolding yourself to heighten your other senses.

20. Write down your fantasies.

Journaling your erotic thoughts can be a form of exploration and acknowledgement of your desires.

Remember

Always start with an open mind and a lot of curiosity. Be gentle and patient with yourself along the way. Everyone's different, and there’s no right or wrong way to do this; just focus on what feels good for you.
