Sex and masturbation aren’t just about your genitalia. Sexual arousal can come from stimulating different parts of your body, including the powerful and famous erogenous zones. Unfortunately, many people often forget or are unaware that these hot spots can be an excellent addition to foreplay, solo pleasure, and sex.
But what exactly are the different erogenous zones, and why do they produce so much sexual pleasure? We’re the sexual experts here to explain it all. In this article, you’ll discover the power of erogenous zones and how to ignite these nerve endings. Get ready to revolutionize your sex life!
What are Erogenous Zones?
You’ll hear a lot of different definitions for erogenous zones. Some people don’t even think they exist. Lucky for us, they do. Essentially, erogenous zones are specific points on the body, other than genitalia, which stimulate pleasure.
To clarify, areas of the body that count as genitalia include the clitoris, vulva, cervix, pussy, scrotum (testicles), foreskin, labia, pubic mound, anus, and dick.
Now, stroking the genitals creates a pretty powerful response. However, you get some mind-blowing sensations when you start with the erogenous zones and work your way up to your nether regions. A human erogenous zone is a sensitive area with lots of sensory receptors and an intense sexual response.
To put it simply, playing with your erogenous zones or your partner’s is a turn-on. Read on to discover the best ways to sexually tickle this part of the body.
How to Caress the Erogenous Zones
Even a light touch or nibble on an erogenous area can have a remarkable effect. Below, we’ve made a comprehensive list of erogenous zones and how to get the most out of them. Let’s get to cumming:
- Neck: The neck is one of the most frequented erogenous zones. It’s where we leave our best hickeys and the most sensual kisses. Try focusing more on the nape of the neck and use your fingertips for extra juicy sensations.
- Inner thighs: Do you care for the state of your partner’s sexual health? Of course you do, so it's important to tease and stroke their inner thighs. Get the blood flow pumping by scratching from their lower thigh to their upper inner thigh with a light touch. Ghost past their perineum, frenulum, or vulva and start all over again.
- Earlobes/ears: Your hands can sit this one out. Of all the human erogenous zones, the ears are one of the most pleasurable to tease. Use your mouth, voice, and tongue to lick at the earlobes and breathe into the ears. This is the time to whip out your dirtiest bedroom talk.
- Inner arms/inner wrist: There are oodles of pressure points in this body area. Try alternating between pressing hard on your partner's wrist (with ample consent) and gently caressing them.
- Lower back: The lower back is an interesting erogenous zone. It may take some pressure and effort, but the lower back will tingle with pleasure if you put in the time. When taking your partner from behind, pin them by their lower back and watch the magic unfold.
- Lower stomach: Both men and women and non-binary folks will shiver in pleasure when you caress their lower stomach. Some people even like having their belly button fondled.
- Palm of hands: Aside from the lips and genitals, the fingers and the palm of the hands are the most sensitive part of the body. You can maintain eye contact as you suck on your partner’s fingers and stroke their palm.
- Mouth/lips: Between pecking, tracing your tongue over the lips, sucking the lips, and controlling when they breathe, there are loads of options for stimulating your partner’s mouth and lips.
- Behind the knee: It sounds weird, but stroking at the skin behind the knee is pretty sensual. If you’re having kinky fun with oils or whipped cream, consider adding the knee-pit into the action.
- Armpits: Run your fingers or tongue over the armpit's tender skin and down the ribs' side. All of a sudden, the armpits are a lot less stinky and a lot more sensual.
- Nipples: Your nipples are basically the same as genitalia when it comes to pleasure and skin sensitivity. There are tons of nerve endings in and around the nipples just waiting to be sucked on. Be careful initially, but don’t be afraid to experiment, including pulling and swatting at this erogenous zone.
- Pubic mound: Also known as the mons pubis, this is the fleshy skin that hangs out at the top of the pelvic bone right above your genitalia. While considered genitalia, it’s extra sensitive and can be used for erogenous stimulation, too. Try dragging your fingernails across it, inching closer and closer to the clit or dick.
- G-spot: This is a unique area in the vagina that has plenty of nerve endings. Nearby, you'll find the A-spot. Use your fingers, a vibrator, or your dick (if you’ve got one) to stimulate these zones.
- Prostate: Ahh, the classic prostate. This little organ nestles up against the rectum (in men) and can be stimulated to an orgasm. Use your fingers, an anal masturbator, or a dick to get all up in there.
You and your partner deserve to experience all that erogenous zones offer. Don’t hesitate to try out pleasuring yourselves via all of these wonderful zones.
Sex Toys and Erogenous Zones
We mentioned vibrators and anal masturbators as excellent methods of stimulating the erogenous zones, but honestly, all sex toys can set your erogenous zones on fire (in a good way). We’ve compiled a small list of toys that you and your partner can put to good use:
- Dildos: These sturdy toys can tease the inner thigh, spread lube along the pubic mound, and thrust into your partner when they're all worked up.
- Couples Sex Toys: Using couples sex toys opens the door to untold pleasure. Most are designed with penises in mind, but they can tease your partner and shock their system by alternating between skin sensations and the feeling of silicone and plastic.
- Blowjob Simulators: These are fantastic sex devices that precisely imitate the feelings of oral sex. They can also be lathered in lube and dragged over your partner's body. It’s especially fun to have them lick the toy's tip, igniting their facial erogenous zones.
The key to using sex toys to pleasure erogenous zones is to be comfortable with experimentation. You may feel a little odd at first, but these toys are made to please you in all kinds of ways. Try things out and discover incredible new sensations.
