Why slow down and awaken the senses as a couple?
In intimacy, speed is not always synonymous with intensity. On the contrary: slowing down allows you to feel more. By taking the time to savor each sensation, each shiver, you create a gradual build of desire that intensifies the final pleasure.
The sensory play invite you to step outside the conventional pattern of sexual encounters to reclaiming foreplay, those moments often overlooked yet so essential. By incorporating soft, playful or intriguing accessories, you transform your intimacy into a playground where each person can express their desires, explore new experiences and allow themselves to be surprised.
For new couples, it is a way of discovering together what you enjoy, without pressure or expectation. For established couples, it is an invitation to break the routine, to awaken curiosity and rediscover that feeling of novelty that characterizes the beginning of a relationship.
At 1969, a boutique expert in sensual accompaniment for couples, we believe that slow sex is a form of respect: respect for the other's body, their rhythm, their limits. And it is precisely this attentiveness that makes the experience so intense.
Sensory cosmetics: Transform your skin into a playground
The sensory cosmetics are not mere beauty products: they are awakening tools. They transform every area of the body into a surface to explore, to taste, to rediscover.
Edible body paint: Play, draw, taste
The edible body paint transforms the body into a canvas and play into a creative experience. Colorful, fragrant, sweet — it adds a playful and indulgent dimension to your intimate moments.
Why we love it?
- It uninhibits : painting on the other's body breaks down inhibitions and invites laughter
- It slows down : applying the paint takes time, concentration, gentleness
- It awakens several senses : sight (the colors), touch (the texture), taste (the tasting)
How to use it?
- Draw patterns, write tender words, trace paths for your partner to lick
- Apply it with a brush, a finger, or directly from the jar to vary the sensations
- Pair it with a massage: the creamy texture glides over the skin and extends the caresses
Our selection:
Shunga offers edible body paints in several flavors, designed for gentle application and a pleasant taste.
Sensual bath jelly: Turning a bath into a suspended moment

Why does it work?
- The gel-like texture amplifies the sensation of gliding and softness
- Warm water relaxes, prepares the body and naturally slows the pace

How to use it?
- Fill the bathtub with warm water, pour in the jelly and let it dissolve

Shunga offers scented bath jellies that dissolve easily and leave the skin soft after use.

Tactile accessories: When objects awaken the skin
Beyond cosmetics, certain tactile accessories allow you to create unprecedented sensations on the skin. Softness, tingling, tickling: each object generates a different reaction and awakens the body in a new way.
Feathers and caress accessories: The Art of effleurage
The feathers and feather ticklers are the ultimate sensory accessories. Light, soft, almost elusive, they create subtle sensations that awaken nerve endings and send shivers down the spine.
Used on bare skin, they allow you to mapping the other's body : nape of the neck, belly, inner thighs, the small of the back... Each area responds differently, and it is by exploring slowly that you discover what triggers the most intense reactions.
How to use them?
- Start with less erogenous zones (arms, back) to set a relaxing mood
- Vary the pressure: barely perceptible brushing, then firmer passes
- Play with surprise: alternate feather and fingers, warmth and coolness, softness and intensity
- Pair them with a blindfold to deprive one sense and heighten the others
Our selection:
At 1969, we offer feather ticklers signed Bijoux Indiscrets and 1969, perfect for beginning or enriching your intimate rituals.
Claws: Precise and intense sensations
The BDSM claws (or scalp massagers) are metal accessories worn on the fingertips to create tingling, tickling or gentle pressure sensations on the skin.
Why do they work so well?
- They amplify sensations: even a simple pass along the arm can become electrifying
- They allow you to target specific areas: the scalp, nape of the neck, back, inner thighs
- They add an intriguing visual dimension: the object intrigues, excites, surprises
How to use them?
- Start with the scalp: it is the most receptive and most relaxing area
- Slowly trail down along the nape, back, and arms
- Alternate with bare-handed caresses to create contrast
- Pair them with a blindfold to play with unpredictability
Our selection:
ROUGE offers claws ergonomic, designed for easy handling and sensations that can be modulated according to the pressure applied.

Fringed crops: Sensuality before impact
The fringed crop is often associated with BDSM practices, but it has its rightful place in gentle sensory play. Unlike floggers or paddles, it is not designed only for striking, but also for caress, brush, tickle.
The light fringes create a delicate tingling sensation as they glide over the skin, with no pain at all. It is the ideal accessory for exploring teasing, play with anticipation and add a visual dimension to your play.
How to use it?
- Glide the fringes along the back, buttocks and thighs
- Alternate with bare-handed caresses to create contrast
- Play with surprise by switching between areas
- Use it as an accessory for visual teasing : show it, make it twirl, build the anticipation
- Try a few crescendo impacts based on your partner's responses

Our tips for a successful experience
1. Set the mood
The environment plays a key role in awakening the senses. Soft lighting, gentle music, a pleasant temperature: everything should invite relaxation and connection.
2. Communicate before, during and after
Sensory play is an exploration. Talk about your desires, your limits, what you enjoy and what you don't. During the experience, stay attuned to your partner's reactions.
3. Take it gradually
No need to try everything in one evening. Start with one or two accessories, take the time to discover them, then add more as your desires grow.
4. Alternate the sensations
Contrast is the key to sensory pleasure: hot/cold, soft/sharp, slow/fast. Play with these variations to sustain attention and arousal.
5. Don't neglect the non-erogenous zones
The arms, back, hands, feet: all these areas respond to sensory stimulation and can become erogenous when explored with care.
Take the time to feel
The sensory play are an invitation to slow down, step out of routine and rediscover each other's body — and your own — in a new light. At 1969, we believe that slow sex is not a trend, but a way of reclaiming intimacy with authenticity, curiosity and pleasure.
