Erogenous Zones
I often talk about how we ignore the many parts of our body that can be stimulated during sex. We forget to fully indulge and explore our entire bodies and end up focusing primarily on the genitalia.
All over our bodies, we have 'erogenous zones' that, when touched, can cause heightened sensitivity, stimulation, relaxation, sexual arousal, and even orgasms.
The above diagram names just a few, but it's always fun exploring your own and finding those soft spots that leave the legs quivering. Don't forget to put those sex toys to use and even explore with the ones collecting dust. They might not have done much for your genitals, but who knows, they might do something for your nipples or even your feet.
Our bodies are filled with sexually charged areas just waiting to be explored. Set yourself a challenge this weekend and try exploring your or your partner's bodies and see if they have any unexpected spots that turn you or them on.
Get Creative!
When you start exploring your body or a partner’s body, don’t forget that you can experiment with objects that might highten the sensations of certain zones. Here are just a few examples of tools you could use
Sex toys (especially suction toys) work great around the nipples, ears and toes.
Feathers and fluffy objects
Oils and lubes
Body massagers or even your nails!
Ice or hot body wax
Textured fabrics like silk, latex & lace
The science behind erogenous zones
There have been several theories about why erogenous zones lead to pleasure and even orgasms, including the following
They have more nerve endings in that area
They are sexually attracted to that area creating tighten arousal levels
That area is not often touched, making it more sensitive when played with.
Everyone enjoys sex in different ways and for some touching an erogenous area may help bring someone more pleasure and even a more intense orgasm. I find that when my nipples are played with during oral sex my orgasms are much more powerful and last longer.
