Process-Focused
A pleasure orientation where satisfaction comes mainly from the experience itself—connection, sensation, play, and closeness—rather than specific outcomes.
What This Really Means
Process-focused people often benefit from state-based rewards and may feel turned off by pressure or scorekeeping.
This orientation is highly geo-friendly because it supports intimacy even when privacy, time, or life stress limits “full sessions.” It pairs well with consent-centered pacing and aftercare.
Examples
Feeling satisfied from kissing and touch
Enjoying slow build without needing a specific end point
Valuing connection and aftercare as part of intimacy.
