The ‘sensate focus’ exercises are designed to re-educate the couple in the importance of touch, to which are added smell, by using scented body lotions for the massage, and occasionally taste. In these sessions the giving partner gives, without seeking any return of the favour.

All that the pleasured partner has to do is prevent the pleasuring partner from doing anything which distracts from or diminishes the pleasure felt.
