First off, a working definition: An erogenous zone refers to any part of the body that has heightened sensitivity, and which, when stimulated, creates a sexual response or contributes to sexual arousal. When we think of our own erogenous zones, the breasts, clitoris and vagina are usually the first “hot spots” that come to mind. These are also the first areas men zoom in on during foreplay and lovemaking.
It may surprise you, however, that most women have many other erogenous zones that are seldom given attention. Stimulating these areas with touch or pressure can have some pretty surprising effects. Some women claim to be able to achieve orgasm simply from having their hair gently pulled, for instance, or their fingers sucked on, or their buttocks lightly spanked.
If you’re looking to introduce some new moves – and new sensations – to your foreplay and sex sessions, check out this list of less obvious erogenous zones. Think about other parts of your body that respond the same way to touch, and have fun getting your partner to stimulate all these areas in different ways.
