Glossary
The terms you will meet in guided sessions — plain, unembarrassed definitions, in alphabetical order.
Afterglow
The calm, warm state of lingering sensation and closeness that follows a peak experience. Physiologically it is the nervous system settling — breath slowing, muscles releasing, awareness staying soft and open rather than snapping back to the day.
In Pura Sensa sessions the afterglow is treated as a phase of its own, with its own time and sound design, because many people find the deepest sense of connection lives there rather than in the peak itself.
Binaural Beats
Two slightly different tones played one in each ear, which the brain perceives as a single slow rhythm equal to the difference between them. A 200 Hz tone in one ear and 208 Hz in the other is heard as a gentle 8 Hz pulse.
That perceived rhythm can gently nudge brainwave activity toward relaxation, focus, or sleep. Headphones are required — the effect happens entirely inside the listener's brain, which is why sessions always offer it as an optional layer.
Edging
The practice of approaching climax and deliberately easing back before the point of no return, building intensity over a longer arc rather than a short one. Done repeatedly within a session, it trains precise awareness of arousal levels.
It is a core technique for both stamina and sensation — many people find it significantly intensifies the eventual peak, and it is one of the most requested guided practices for solo and partnered sessions alike.
Frenulum
The highly sensitive band of tissue on the underside of the penis, where the head meets the shaft. For many men it is the most nerve-dense, responsive point on the body — and the one most often rushed past.
Focused, unhurried attention here features in several guided practices, usually with an emphasis on varying pressure and pace rather than intensity.
G-Spot
An area of sensitive tissue on the front wall of the vagina, a few centimetres in, that can produce deep internal pleasure for some bodies. It tends to respond to firm, patient pressure rather than speed, and usually only once arousal is already well established.
Not every body responds the same way, and sensitivity can change over time — guided sessions treat it as exploration, never expectation.
Sensate Focus
A structured couples practice of mindful, non-goal-oriented touch, developed by researchers Masters and Johnson and still the most widely prescribed exercise in modern sex therapy. Partners take turns giving and receiving touch in gradual stages, with no aim beyond noticing sensation.
Removing the goal is the entire mechanism: without performance pressure, attention returns to the body and sensation becomes vivid again. It works solo as well as partnered.
