What does sensual immediacy mean?

What does "sensual immediacy" mean?
It means the compelling experience of the senses in the present moment.

There is nothing more immediate than this. Our bodies are our sensory array. Our bodies provide input to our minds and brains (notice I distinguish between the two) via our senses. Humans come equipped with senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and it is through them that we experience the world, and through them that our mind determines what Reality is.

We have been bombarded since birth by sensory input. Infants sleep so much partly because they need sensory down-time. They need to learn how to sort out the meaning of what their senses are telling them. As we grow older, we learn to filter out sensory 'noise'. Our minds are constantly disregarding signals from the brain. We don't notice the hair touching our ears. We don't hear the pervasive hum of electrical appliances. We don't notice everything in our field of vision. We no longer smell the shampoo in our hair or the cologne we applied this morning, even though others can. But even though our minds become accommodated to certain sensory threshholds, our senses still send those signals to the brain.

In this modern, Western civilization, we live more and more in our heads. We live more and more in a state in which our minds are filtering-out what our senses are telling us. We live in environments we have created to insulate us from noises, from brightness and darkness, scents, and physical discomfort. We sit for hours in front of televisions and computers, experiencing 'reality' through the two senses of sight and hearing, letting our minds simulate the rest. We are growing disconnected from our bodies, from our world.

And with that disconnection from our bodies, we are disconnected from others--there is very little opportunity or interest in genuine intimacy. We come into contact with others, but do we really touch them? Do they really touch us?

I want to re-awaken people to the sensual immediacy of life, to the human expericience of the world. I want to encourage people to bite into a piece of fruit and experience it with all of their senses, and take their time about it. I want to see more people laying in the grass, experiencing the dappled sunlight, the cool, moist air, and the prickle of the blades. I want to encourage couples to lay together face to face, arms and legs entwined, looking into each other's eyes, breathing each other in, knowing what it is to just be with another, and truly experience them.

Sensual immediacy is about the information our senses provide Right Now, and about truly experiencing what our senses tell us, rather than letting our minds filter it out. Being open to the sensual immediacy of life puts us in touch with our bodies and our environment, awakens us to the intimacy of sensual experience, and enhances the quality of our lives. So, knowing what sensual immediacy is, and being able to communicate it somewhat effectively, how can I not try to encourage others to try it for themselves?

Feedback on erotic stories and audio written and recorded by Silkenvoice:
KR,Been a devoted fan for some time. So happy you've devoted so much effort with audio erotica. I am seduced by the power of your language and imagery, and driven to delight by the sexy timbre and rythmn of your voice. Please keep producing. You have remarkable talent. --Payson

On "A birthday present":

Very sexy voice! Awesome story concept. Very sexy voice. I wish the story was a little more hardcore, but I enjoyed it. Would love to hear you talk like you were talking to the listener. Would love to hear you tease us. :) --Anonymous
Great Story..Great Voice. Very erotic and well read fantasy. Your voice is very stimulating.... keep up the good work! --A Bayou Boy


Juxtaposition of sensual. Your vocabulary is marvelous, rhythmic and builds to a great cresendo. The literary skills you posses are worthy of publication! -- Kandew


On "Attention Please":

Well done! Love the short but well described build up, her very hot seduction and the equally hot sex. -- Opels


On "Under You":

Voice of a naughty angel. Honey, do you have any idea how much a voice like yours can make a man sweat? I had a hardon in 30 seconds. The story was pretty good, but the ending seemed to come too soon, if you get my meaning. I wanted to hear more. I want to hear more. Write more, record more, please. -- Anonymous


Beautiful language and fucking hot sex! Dear KR, thank you so much for this beautiful story. The words are well chosen, the plot believable, the characters likeable, and the sex was boiling hot. Thanks. It's rare to read a story about dominance and submission that doesn't degrade the submissive. I appreciated that. -- Anonymous


Extremely enjoyable! I really enjoy listening to your wonderful voice, while I cannot read, at this moment. The way that you write, betrays a vast depth and great intelligence. Your seduction allows one to enter your world with out the dirtiness that is normally associated with adult bookstores. I will be looking forward to more of your stories, as I have time to read them all!
Thank you for an enjoyable evening! -- Anonymous


Beautiful and erotic. Your words flow so beautifully, and your visions are so tantalizing, I sat here shaking. I can't wait to share this with my lover! -- Anonymous


Very erotic! First time I ever listened to one of your stories. Your voice was sexy, suggestive, and your use of words was really stimulating. Keep up the good work! -- Claretwine


On "Check and Mate":

Sensual and passionate. KR, Keep up the excellent writing. I enjoyed your descriptions immensely. Never thought of chess as being an erotic pleasure, but this opens new avenues. The sheer Sensuality sent me for satisifaction. -- Anonymous


On "Bonding at the beach":

Dulcet voice and unusual scenario. You have a dulcet voice and your recitation is fluid and natural--far more so than others who read stories aloud for our audio consumption. As for the scenario, well, BSDM isn't my scene, and pain is a real turn off, but as I listened with my headphones on to the languid intimacy of your tone, it had me certain I could feel your hot breath on my ear. --Derring-do


On "I miss you babe":

A professional writer and editor, I am in process of listening to and reading all your stories, both written and audio. What I find most erotic about this submission is not only your velvet voice (silk is nice too, of course) but expecially your breathing and sensual moans. The texture and nuance here is quite amazing, which I doubt even the most trained actress could emulate. You seem to have erased all barriers between fantasy and reality and the listener/reader shares, and is lost in, that intimacy. Superb! But one wishes to hear your orgasm.
Any chance of that? Or is it yours alone? -- LeeJeans4


You write with great passion, KR, and to listen to your voice enhances the experience. Please don't retire your microphone...you're too good at it. --Robberbaronsword


I was entranced........

Your attetnion to every erotic detail no matter how sublte gave me a complete picture....When you wrote how you fingernail cross his nipple....Omg I could feel it myself....this Piece was full of passion and lust in the most classy and delicious way...Thank you for writing it. I look roward to reading and hearing more of yoru thoughts and dreams
