Four Erogenous Zones You Didn't Know You Had
We all know about the obvious sensitive areas that can turn us on… lips, tongue, her breasts, his testicles… But any part of your body where the nerves are near the surface – or that have a direct ‘hot line’ to your genitals – can be an erogenous zone. And some of those zones can be very unexpected indeed. Here are four that you might not know that you – or your partner – had. Take it in turns to explore each other to find out what works.
1; Feet: yes, that member of the royal family who was snapped having her toes sucked and licked was right! Our feet are extremely erotic, particularly the soles and any kind of stroking, scratching or tonguing can be astonishingly good. For him in particular, toe-sucking can be a real turn on because it reminds him of having his penis sucked – while she can benefit from a tight grip with two fingers on her big toe. Be careful though – too much pressure on the soles of the feet can damage them. Go slowly.
2: The curve of the elbow, the back of the knees: Because those body parts are less exposed, the skin there is particularly sensitive, on him and on her. Try gentle brushing – with tongue, fingertips, or even your eyelashes. If you’re into ‘toys’ use a peacock feather, a silk scarf or even a delicately used vibrator. For extra effect, get the one being ‘done to’ to hold out arms and legs so that the skin is stretched tight.
3: Head and neck: As well as being extremely relaxing, head massage can also be highly erotic. Start with fingertip pressure, particularly on the temples, then with all ten fingers rubbing all over the scalp. To ease tension, press with two thumbs on those two points each side of the base of the skull, then let your fingers move down those muscles to the base of the neck. Gentle licking, biting and sucking on the back of the neck can then lead into more energetic lovemaking.
4: The base of the spine. Just above the cleft of the buttocks, there are two soft spots one each side of your vertebrae, which can have a direct link to the genitals. Get your partner to lie on their side while you press with two thumbs circling round and round. If there’s a lot of tension there, you may need to go more firmly, with knuckle or (careful) elbow. As the tension eases away, she may feel a tingling in her clitoris; he may notice it along his penis. Carry on through any feeling of wanting to pee, adding in more direct stimulation by reaching round to fondle their genitals.
