Goal: Increase oxytocin (the bonding hormone) through non-verbal communication.
The Setup: Sit facing each other on the bed, cross-legged, knees touching.
The Act: Hold hands, palm to palm. Stare into each other’s left eye (the left eye connects to the emotional right brain). Do not speak.
The Breathing: Synchronize your breathing. Inhale together for a count of 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6. Do this for 5 minutes.
The Explicit Touch: Begin to touch each other simultaneously. Reach out and cup each other’s genitals gently. For him: simply cup the testicles and base of the shaft without stroking. For her: place the entire palm over the vulva without moving the fingers. Hold this position. Breathe into the touch. Feel the warmth of your palms transferring energy.
Duration: Maintain this eye contact and static genital touch for 10 minutes.
Finish: End the session here. No orgasms. This builds "edging" energy that carries into Day 3.
