The Pleasure Languages are based on the following fundamentals:
- Our sensory experience (touch, taste, sound, smell & sight)
- Our emotional experience
- Our mental /intellectual experience
- Our physical experience (the body in its element – fire/water/air/earth)
- Freud's Psychosexual Stages of Development
At any given moment the above faculties are at play and contribute to how we feel about ourselves and others & how open we are to receiving and giving pleasure.
The 5 Pleasure Languages
Play 🌸
You introduce the sensational/sensory aspect of finding your pleasure because it takes you directly into your primal physical body, and enables you to explore and discover, like a child on a playground. Using your sensory nature, you can explore the abundance of pleasure that can be aroused within us in various ways.
If you're a curious cat, that loves to explore your environment, find yourself in your head a lot and consider yourself to be inquisitive, play as a pleasure language may be for you!
