The Melba concept

Melba is a new French application dedicated specifically to the sexual well-being of heterosexual, gay and lesbian couples. Melba offers themed audio episodes that guide couples live during their sexual exploration. Unlike podcasts that have a masturbatory vocation for their listeners, Melba proposes an experience that is shared with one's partner, during which the couple follows the instructions given by voice. The application is part of the modernization of the erotic media offer and proposes an original use of audio for a unique experience. In practice, it's quite simple: couples browse through the library of episodes, and choose the one that tempts them the most. The collaboration of erotic writers and sex therapists has allowed the creation of modern quality content, far from clichés. The application offers a variety of episodes with more playful atmospheres where you can try role-playing, more subdued atmospheres where you can enjoy a sensual massage, more educational episodes to rediscover certain techniques or more daring episodes that will allow you to try new practices (slow sex, body painting...).

Behind the playful concept of immersive episodes for two is the desire to allow couples to share a fun and new experience together that is accessible, as well as to offer a framework for reflection and sexual exploration in a caring and inclusive context.

The benefits of guided sex

As you can imagine, being guided by a voice during sex is quite unusual, but it is also a beneficial experience for the couple.

Of course, audio is a vector of excitement; listening to and following the instructions of a voice is both stimulating and enchanting. After the initial surprise that some people feel, it's easy to get caught up in the game and let the voice carry you along.

To launch into guided sex for two, is to accept to launch together into an unknown experience that will bring a little novelty in your rituals. There is nothing like it to get out of the routine simply, from the comfort of your bed.

Users of the application also emphasize the comfort of only having to choose the episode. For some people, the episodes are a way to open the discussion about their sexual practices: indeed, it is easier to propose something new with this support, to open up about the fantasies and desires that we have but that we sometimes find difficult to share with our partner.

Finally, since it is the voice that guides the gestures and the rhythm of the moment, couples are encouraged to slow down the pace of their lovemaking, so as to savor each sensation, perform each gesture with intention, connect fully with their partner and anchor themselves in the present moment. The voice is not only a way to discover new techniques but also to rediscover one's own intimate choreography: this slowness creates a very intimate context between partners and intensifies the complicity and the connection of the couple.

A few tips before you start

It's something we keep saying, consent should never be taken for granted, even if you've been a couple for years. Before you try guided sex, take the time to talk with your partner about your respective desires and non-desires. Since this is a completely new experience, you can agree on a safe word to stop at any time.

Remember to protect yourself from infections and other sexually transmitted diseases in a way that is appropriate for your situation.

Once your experience is over, we can only recommend that you take a moment of transition to take care of each other and gently return to reality. This break will also be the time to exchange on what you have just lived, to share your feelings and to continue this positive dynamic on the connection and the complicity that your couple shares.
