Erogenous Zones
Tori Douglas on Mar 11th 2025
There are many parts of the body that get the sexual juices flowing apart from the genitals and breasts. These areas are erogenous zones and while some are obvious, some may be new to your sexual relationships. So try them out and see what areas of the body do it for you and your partner.
Erogenous zones are areas of the body that can be touched to produce pleasure in your partner or yourself. Some of them are surprising. The genitals are the most common erogenous zones, but you and your partner have many more areas to touch and explore.
-
Lips
Most of us are already familiar with the power of kissing. It is usually the start of a sexual encounter.
-
Neck
Kissing and touching the neck can be very sensual. You might even get carried away and have a hickey to hide the next day.
-
Scalp
Massaging the scalp and running your fingers through your partner's hair can give the tingles. Hair pulling is also a common kink for a reason.
-
Feet
Feet are a popular fetish for a reason. The skin of the soles and the toes are filled with nerves that make kissing, sucking, and caressing pleasurable.
-
Wrist
Again, this area is sensitive and filled with nerves to kiss and bite gently.
-
Back of the knees
Another less obvious area, the back of the knees are tender and can be touched, ducked, or bitten to create a sensual sensation for you or your partner.
-
Nipples
The nipples and areola, for most people, are rife with nerves. Some can even achieve orgasm through nipple stimulation alone.
-
Hands
There is a reason holding hands is so pleasant. The nerves in the hands and the connection of holding hands is important. Kissing the palms and sucking the fingers also heightens arousal.
-
Thighs
The inner thighs are sensual areas as well. Running your hands up and down the thigh as well as kissing and nipping at the sensitive skin there can turn you both on.
-
Inner elbow
The inner bend of the elbow is sensitive to touch.
-
Ears
Kissing, licking, and gently blowing in the ears is a turn on for most people.
-
Stomach
The belly and navel are close enough to the genitals to get the blood flowing when kissed, licked, or caressed.
-
Small of the back
The nerves here are plentiful and sensitive. The base of the spine and pelvis are here, making touch powerful.
-
Buttocks
Not just the rectum, but the buttocks are sensitive and respond to touch. You can even be a little more aggressive and grab or even bite the butt cheeks. A little spanking might go over for one or both if you.
The body has many erogenous zones. Explore each other and see what areas turn you and your partner on. Tickle, touch, kiss, suck, and bite the areas above and see what happens to each other's bodies. If any of these areas are new to you, give them a try. You do not even have to wait for the bedroom. Kissing, holding hands, caressing the neck, wrist or inner elbow can be a quick and powerful connection moment for you both.
