Hello everyone,
When someone talks about erogenous zones, their immediate thoughts turn to obvious body parts, such as breasts, nipples, clitoris, G-spot and penis.
Some areas of our body are more erogenous than others, due to the number of nerve endings located in these zones, and to individual sensitivity of course.
The word erogenous comes from the Greek eros, meaning love, and the English genous, meaning to produce.
An erogenous zone is an area of the human body with heightened sensitivity that, when stimulated, can create a sexual response such as, thoughts of sexual fantasies, sexual arousal and orgasm.
The human body is highly sensitive to touch, and the experience of sexual pleasure is different for everyone.
What seems sexually exciting to one person may not be to another, and may even be repulsive to some.
Here's my guide to the body's most and least erogenous zones.
The inside of the wrist
Because we're not used to being touched there, the wrist, especially the inside of the wrist, can be an inspiring place, as it has many nerve endings.
Touch it, caress it gently
Touch gently and observe your partner's reaction.
The neck
I've learned that women have classified the nape of the neck above the breasts and nipples as an erogenous zone.
Kisses on the neck are almost always exciting.
It's a very exciting place because it's terribly vulnerable.
Caress the nape of the neck with your fingertips or lips, or give your partner a neck massage.
The buttocks
The erogenous potential of the buttocks no longer needs to be proven.
And that's hardly surprising, given its proximity to the genitals.
But how do you make the most of this erogenous zone?
Ask your partner how he'd like to be touched and observe his reactions.
The buttocks can be stroked with feathers, or touched very gently with fingertips and lips.
Kiss them, bite them gently, grasp them firmly with your hands and fingers.
Massage the buttocks with your palms, thumbs and forearms, using circular, swirling movements.
The scalp
Personally, I love having my hair and scalp massaged and my hairdresser works wonders.
Massage your partner's scalp with your full hand or fingertips for guaranteed thrills.
Always observe your partner's reactions.
Back of the knee
Why is the area behind the knee erogenous?
It's another nerve-ending point, and therefore sensitive to caresses.
It's not an area we usually caress, but try it and you'll surprise your partner.
Touching the back of the knee and working up to the thighs is terribly intimate and inspiring.
Alternate stroking with fingertips, palms and tickling.
Here too, observe your partner's reactions.
The earlobe
The sexiest part of the ear is the earlobe.
This gesture of tucking your hair behind your ear is quite intimate.
To make the most of the ears' erotic potential, tickle or sensually massage the edge of your partner's ear with your finger.
You can also use your tongue and lips.
If, like me, your partner is very ticklish in this area, don't caress, tickle or play with your tongue, as you risk having the opposite effect.
Feet
Feet don't rank high on the arousal scale, yet there are people for whom having their feet and toes touched, licked, sucked, etc. is a sexually exciting experience.
And they're not necessarily foot fetishists.
Play with fingertip caresses, massages, toe sucking and tonguing between toes (if they're clean, of course!).
The lips
When the lips are stimulated, they trigger a powerful awakening of the body's sexual centers.
The power of a prolonged kiss of love and passion is such that its stimulation also extends to the rest of the body.
When lips are kissed, loved, caressed and honored, they become a pulsating, radiant pleasure center.
Tease and tickle them, touch them lightly with your fingertips, a feather, the tip of your tongue, your lips. Play with them and be creative.
Explore the many ways to use lips in the art of kissing.
Nipples
Nipples, while generally sensitive, are not for everyone.
Ask your partner.
If he/she enjoys caressing the nipples, you can kiss them, lick them, blow on them, stroke them with feathers or a silk scarf, pinch them with your fingertips and pull them lightly and gently.
Any caresses that are more intense or firmer must always be consented to.
Armpits
This area is usually too ticklish to touch for many, however, a cautious approach can be a wonderful way to incite the body to sexual arousal.
Try feathers and fingertips. Kiss them, massage them in the center, at the edge and stretch to under the shoulder blade.
The sides of the waist
This is often a very delicate area for many.
The waist can be lightly caressed with the fingertips.
The tongue can run over it and it can be kissed.
Sacred dimples
Massage them with the palms of your hands or your thumbs in circles slightly to firmly depending on what your partner likes.
Using your fingertips, make continuous circles spiraling inwards and then outwards, or in a figure of 8, extending to other parts of the sacrum area.
A lot of tension can be exerted here and in the lower back.
It's a relief to release it and prepare the body for more intimacy and erotic play.
Inner thighs
The nerves on the inside of the thighs are the gateway to the nerves of the genitals.
Gentle caresses and kisses take a lover into a sensual dream state, sometimes leading to and on the verge of orgasm.
The perineum
Alternate light fingertip movements with more or less deep pressure.
This area can also be licked and kissed, if that's something you feel comfortable with.
The scrotum
Attention fragile!
If your partner enjoys being stroked in this area, use gentle fingertip strokes around and under the testicles.
You can also kiss them, suck them gently and put them in your mouth.
External vaginal lips
Gentle caresses, soft kisses and sucking on the outer vaginal lips trigger exciting tingling sensations.
The application of moist, gentle heat here promotes circulation as well as the engorgement of blood to the labia, clitoris and surrounding areas due to arousal.
The labia can be massaged gently and soothingly in upward and downward strokes, or even pressed gently together (this will stimulate the clitoris) or pulled gently along their entire length.
Fingers and palm
A delicate expression of budding intimacy, fingers are a privileged means of communicating deeper passions and intimate intentions.
Intertwine your fingers with your partner's affectionately.
Kiss them, and tickle the palms with a thumb while squeezing your partner's hand.
Fingers can also be kissed and sucked as part of foreplay, because of their sensitivity and the sensuality of the gesture.
Massage palms with warm oil.
This sounds soothing and relieving, but it can also be very erotic if the intention is there.
Tantric massage combined with erogenous zone massage: an explosion of sensuality
Erogenous zones run throughout the body and develop a particular erotic power at the various nerve endings.
Normally, a tantric massage practitioner is able to link the energetic body and the areas charged with nerve endings, while respecting a certain fluidity of gesture, stimulating any part of the body through conscious touch.
No need to stimulate only certain areas.
*In the coming weeks, I'll be offering a new massage, which, while respecting Tantric ethics, will focus on the erogenous zones of men and women.
Thanks for reading
Sincerely
Nadine
We part with music
