Although raw, physical sex is wonderful, the sensual experience of making love together can be greatly enhanced by engaging all your senses. Every one of your five senses contributes to your mood in various ways. By setting the scene for your romantic or intimate encounter you can create an atmosphere for loving, sensual pleasure. Relaxing or exciting, sights, sounds and scents have the power to stimulate your most potent sex organ – your mind.

Both men and women are visual creatures and are highly aroused by sexy sights. In the right light, seeing each other in the throes of passion may be the ultimate form of visual stimulation. Lighting also significantly affects our moods and therefore our ultimate enjoyment of sex. The type, color, intensity and design of the light source can excite or relax with many erotic variations in between. Here are some mood lighting ideas that you can use to create a romantic, passionate or erotic ambiance for your intimate play:


Candles: The flickering light of even a single candle can add an enchanting mystique to any room. Candles create a soft radiance that gives your bodies a warm glow. Subdued lighting also makes the surrounding décor feel cozy and private. Stained glass candle holders can enhance the effect even more. Try one, a few and, every now and then, go wild with dozens of candles.
Fireplace: Making love in front of a blazing fire or the smoldering red embers afterwards is a delightful, romantic experience. Even without a real one, you can recreate the sensual effect with a fireplace video and a portable heater.
Moon & Starlight: Although best far from city lights, making love outside in the star or moon light can be an erotic adventure. Plan a special outing to coincide with a full moon.
Sunset/Sunrise: A classic for romance, sensual intimacy during a sunrise or sunset can make them even more special. Make love outside or in a car while enjoying the reddish hues of the sky.
Strobe light: Imagine having wild sex in a pitch black room streaked with flashes of each other erotically frozen in your mind. The intensity of the flickering, stop motion style visual stimulation can be extremely thrilling. Bright colored lingerie adds to the effect.
Flashlight: Use a small pen light to shine on areas of your body that you want stimulated. Turn it into a foreplay game. Start with a feather or artist brush, then touching, licking and sucking. Have your lover shine the flashlight on an erogenous zone that desires your focused attention.
Rope & String Lights: Use decorative LED lights to add a special touch or fancy design for special occasions. Create a heart shape on the ceiling, border a mirror, showcase a collection of sex toys or design a futuristic role playing environment.


Try out different colored bulbs in regular light sockets (pink, amber, blue, green, purple, black, flickering, etc.). A shade or dimmer switch is important too. Different colors and intensities will make your bodies appear different. Also try lava lamps, fiber optic lights, spot lights, glow in the dark items, etc. Some lights can even be controlled with music to pulse with different colors and intensities.

Experiment with various types of lighting to enhance your mood and sexual enjoyment. Even try total, absolute darkness sometimes (cover clock radios, etc.) even if it requires the use of a blindfold. Use your creativity to explore the full erotic potential of mood light. There are so many wonderful possibilities to play with.

Also consider, does lighting play a role in any of your fantasies?
