If Your Mind Tends to Wander... While masturbating is helpful in becoming more mindful of your own pleasure, it doesn't fix the problem of, "What the hell do I do when I'm making grocery lists in my head while I'm having sex with my partner?"
When your mind starts to wander, Millheiser recommends focusing on your partner's breathing to stay present. "Unfortunately, women are multitaskers, so it can be difficult for them to home in on one thing at a time," Millheiser says. "When your brain starts to go elsewhere, gently bring it back, and listen to your partner's breath. That will help you focus on them and the moment."
Cavanah also recommends focusing on the sensation of what's happening with your partner and what you're doing to their body. While you may think that's what you're doing now, next time you jump between the sheets observe whether you're more focused on the physical stimulation happening or on pleasing your partner. You'd be surprised how often it's the latter.
