In this conclusion to our Thrilling Sex Series, we explore the difference between Intense and Extreme when it comes to erotic experiences. Click here for the complete Thrill series and curated resources.

Intense is a matter of degree, force or volume. Any experience can be made more intense through deeper engagement with our attention and awareness.

Extreme is a factor of what is risked, and extreme activities require not only full attention but also training, mentorship, practice, equipment and support to be executed safely. If you want to experience the extremes of the erotic spectrum, there are ways to get there safely and experience tons of thrill and pleasure along the way.

Thrill and Delight are both experiences of Peak Pleasures – but what separates thrill from delight? What can we learn from Thrill to allow us more Delight in our lives? In this episode of Speaking of Sex, we continue our conversation about Cultivating Erotic Thrills. For the full series and complete resources, check out PleasureMechanics.com/thrill

Thrill is peak pleasure while taking a risk. Delight is peak pleasure without risk. But without the risk, delightful moments don’t snap our full body into attention, so they can be easier to let pass by without savoring the delight available to us. How can we bring our full attention to the experience of delight, on purpose. How can we practice Generating Delight?
