The job of a eroticologist is to accompany unlearning, through questioning and rethinking, the beliefs we have regarding eroticism, sexualitythe body, romantic love and the couple since these prevent us from feeling and enjoying pleasure, the same thing that occurs in the skin through sensations. We had the opportunity to interview Ana Cerón, eroticologist, body therapist and author of the book “Icons of Pleasure”, in which she breaks down taboos and awakens sensitivity in us; and sublime enjoyment in the arts of love (National Women’s Award in 2009).

What is eroticology?

A eroticologist It is the one who guides and leads us to connect with the messages and responses of well-being, desire, pleasure, displeasure and ecstasy, creating sensory memories that unlock the body and mind of those who have forgotten to feel and only think about pleasure and the different manifestations of it in order to develop their own eroticism, cultivating the most intimate desires, always respecting personal values.

What is the main difference?

that the erotology It covers pleasure in everyday life and teaches how to recognize and enjoy them. That fullness will not necessarily be sexual but rather in the entire body. It has nothing to do with gender, preferences, but with feeling and seeking pleasure, well-being and above all, connection with myself and then sharing it with someone else. This route leads to self-knowledge, to question our lives and define our desires.

Why is it important to pay attention to sensations?

To discover what and how we feel, how we like to be stimulated and stimulated, how we really are, since part of our self-concept is based on what others have said about us. It is necessary to discover ourselves to know each other and then we share.

Tips to discover new sensations with your partner:

Breathe slowly, together and preferably with the same intensity and rhythm to enter a more sensual mode.

Don’t always talk, sometimes observe and just touch, don’t talk, let the other person’s voice tell you how they are feeling.

Sleep naked without the intention of ending up having sex, but rather, with the opportunity to enjoy the sensations of the sheets and observe how the bodies relax and begin to get closer.

Eat any fruit slowly, covering a different sense with each bite so that you can see the different sensations and ways of feeling and enjoying.
