Knees? Neck? Behind ears? What turns you on?
The majority of men and women have common erogenous zones, although they could include any and all areas of the body, depending on the individual.
What is an erogenous zone?
An erogenous zone is an area of human body with heightened sensitivity which normally results in sexual response. This areas could include any and all areas of the body- that depends on the individual, but the truth is that most women and men have common erogenous zones.
Consequently, there are two main classes of erogenous zone in the skin, which are accepted: specific and nonspecific.
Specific areas produce stronger sensation and include genitals, lips, nipples and conjunctiva. Comparing to normal haired skin, the rete ridges of the epithelium are well formed and more of the nerves are close to the external surface of the skin, while in nonspecific erogenous zones the skin is similar to normal haired skin and has normal density of nerves and hair follicles. Areas of nonspecific erogenous zones include underarms, the back and sides of the neck and sides of the thorax. The pleasurable sensation perceived from regions of nonspecific erogenous zones is simply an exaggerated form of tickle.
The genitals are definitely the most obvious erogenous zones, however many parts of human body that are not involved in reproduction, are also sensitive to touch and have sexual response.
This is really a matter of individual. Nevertheless, the largest sensory organ for both men and women is the skin, especially inner thigh area, the neck, the breasts and nipples, and the perineum, but also feet, ears, shoulders and eyelids. Massaging and stoking of those erogenous zones is a form of sensual pleasure and can also represent invitation to further sexual activity. Of course, the mouth, including lips and tongue is for most people, besides the genital area, an area of high erotic potential. Another group of potentially erogenous zones include anus, rectum and buttocks.
Female and male erogenous zones from closer perspective
Vagina and Clitoris
Clitoris is located at the top juncture of inner vaginal lips- it's a small knob of pink flesh, and has the most dense nerve supply of any part of the skin. Clitoris can be stimulated by using tongue, fingers or both simultaneously.
But be careful, women like different amounts of direct stimulation on their clitoris: some women will adore it if you suck hard, while others would shriek in pain. It is also possible that a woman is completely unable to take direct stimulation of her clitoris and stimulation is achieved indirectly- through labia.
G-spot (Gr%26auml;fenberg spot) is located in the vagina, and it may be difficult to locate it, besides not all women have it. G-spot is located at the far end of the vagina, on the upper wall, and only very gentle stimulation gives an incredibly pleasant and unusual sensation.
Perineum
Perineum is the area between the vagina and anus and is very sensitive, but goes unexplored many times. Perineum is made of tissue similar to the vaginal lips,which means there are a lot of nerve endings there. But be careful, since the perineum is close to anus, and some women are scared or disgusted, thus ensure her you will not do anything she is scared of.
In men the perineum is the area between the scrotum and the anus. As in women, there are a lot of nerve endings and it is quite responsive to gentle fondling. For a smoother experience, try using a little artificial lubricant or massage oil. You may want to try vigorously massaging the perineum just prior to orgasm; this gives many men a rush of pleasure.
Breasts
The entire breasts, including nipples are rich in nerve endings and this does not vary with the size of breasts. But be careful, because most women have very sensitive and sometimes even painful breasts at the beginning of menstrual cycle.
Areas that are particularly sensitive to touch are nipples and areola (the pinkish/brownish area around the nipple). However, one of the most sensitive spots that is often ignored is the underside and sides of women's breast.
Anus
The Anus has a large number of nerve endings surrounding it and it is very sensitive. The proper stimulation of this area can heighten a woman's and also man's pleasure.
Penis and Glans Head
As vagina and clitoris are the most sensitive erogenous female zone, so are penis and glans head.
The glans head is the purplish, mushroom shaped mass at the top of a man's penis. It represents the most sensitive part of male body, thus concentrating on it is the easiest way to get him off.
However, there is a difference between circumcised and uncircumcised men: men with foreskin have a more sensitive glans head thus need to be handled more gently.
Scrotum
The scrotum is the sack that holds the testicles. It is very sensitive and very fragile part of a man's body, for that reason applying too much pressure to the testicles will cause immense amounts of pain, which simply means it is important to be very gentle with scrotum.
Buttocks
Lots of women like having their butts licked, sucked or penetrated.
Inner thighs and behind the knees
Both inner thighs and area behind the knees are sensitive to touch and have many nerve endings.
Neck
Many women have very sensitive necks: if that's true, just breathing on this part will give woman goose bumps all over.
Ears
Many women enjoy having their ears licked, sucked or kissed. Although blowing in her ear is acceptable, it's not what women enjoy most.
Feet
Many people enjoy the sensation of having their feet and toes sucked on or licked. For many people, however this can be a very sensitive and ticklish area. Since these zones can all be ticklish, the sensation of ticklishness can be pleasant for the recipient, both woman or man.
Lips
They say that first kiss matters... Yes, it's true. If you know how to manipulate woman's lips just right through kissing, licking, sucking and biting, it is very possible that a kiss will lead to a lot more than that. Use your lips, your tongue and your teeth to play with her top and bottom lip and kiss her with absolute passion.
At the end, remember that we are all different and we all have our own likes and dislikes. Get to know your partner's body and experiment. Deliberately exploring yourself and your partner is the first step in discovering which body parts are sexually responsive and the types of stimulation that feel best. Vary the pressure of touching the body using different materials etc. But most of all- be creative!
