Erogenous zones: What are they, where are they and how many are there?
Erogenous zones are a pretty tricky topic, that’s because every person is different and likes different things. According to Monica, there are seven, some studies suggest that there are nine and some sex therapists suggest there are upwards of twelve. The numbers vary but here are the most common areas. Let’s start at the top, literally.
1. The eyelids: Yes, the eyelids, for real. Again, every person is different and because the skin on your lids is very thin and sensitive, some people really respond to it. But because it is so sensitive there, it is important not to be rough. It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
2. The lips: So this is obvious, but people like kissing for a reason. But many women actually rank this as the number one erogenous zone, in addition, the number one complaint from women in relationships that they don’t make out enough.
3. Ears: There are a huge amount of nerve endings in and around the ears, making them extremely sensitive to being kissed. But don’t be too aggressive, because otherwise it can tickle and feel weird.
4. Neck: The neck is a very sensitive area, not just for women. The skin there is very sensitive, so again, don’t be too aggressive. NO girl likes hickeys!
5. Arms: Probably not the first area that men think of but insides of arms, (upper and forearm) and the inside of the wrists are sensitive areas.
6. The Back: The back is probably the most neglected part of the female body, but it is definitely a very sensitive area. The small of the back, in particular is rich in nerve endings
7. The Legs: Specifically, the inner thighs and the backs of the knees. However, be careful when touching the inner thighs, especially if you’re going to kiss a girl there. It can be super ticklish, so I would suggest not being so gentle. It’ll probably just feel weird and you’ll get kicked in the head.
8. Bum: Okay, so this is not for everyone, but some women are very into this area, but the most important thing to remember before going ’round back, is to ask her first! She may not appreciate bum play if you haven’t been given the green light first. Many women are insecure about their bums, but the truth is, we’d like some appreciation. The hole is not the only part of the bum! There are cheeks too, so grab ‘em!
9. Clitoris: Duh, right? But just because you know where it is and what it is, doesn’t mean you know what to do with it. Every woman is different, some like direct stimulation, others not so much. Some women only enjoy direct contact, while others will probably shriek in pain! It’s best you take you time here and get to know what she likes, but don’t start out rough. If she likes it that way, she’ll let you know. If not, ASK HER!
10. G-Spot: This magical area is located approximately 1.5″ inside the vagina on the upper wall. The most ultimate orgasms come from a woman having her G Spot stimulated. This area inside the vagina typically has a different texture; ridged (not as smooth) as the rest of her vagina, and when aroused it feels spongy.
11. Feet: Yes, it’s true, some people actually like feet. And they are more sensitive than you think. In Fact, a large area in the brain receives sensations and signals from them, so paying attention to them can be highly stimulating for most women.
