These are the 15 most common erogenous zones

erogenous zones

There are probably several spots that your partner only has to look at, and you already get turned on. Touching these erogenous zones is pleasant and usually arouses you instantly. The erogenous zones differ from person to person, so what you find incredible might not do much for your partner. And vice versa, of course! Take a look at these erogenous zones from head to toe.

#1 Hair

Oh, how good it feels when someone runs their hands through your hair. For many people, this is an erogenous zone! Start your foreplay in the shower by slowly washing your lover’s hair and massaging their scalp.

#2 Ears

There are so many sexy things you can do with someone’s ears. Our ears are very sensitive, so think of gentle stroking and sucking. Even a warm sigh can make your partner shiver (but don’t blow too hard!). Or try biting softly. Don’t forget to add in some dirty talk – whisper everything you want to do with your partner in their ear… What you shouldn’t do is stick your tongue into your ear. This is generally not a comfortable feeling.

“Stroking, suckling, dirty talk and a warm sigh can make your partner go crazy.”

#3 Mouth, lips & tongue

By now, you’ve probably figured out that these spots hold a lot of nerves. That’s why it feels so good to kiss your lover. Besides kissing, you can also spoil them by playing with heat and cold. For example, by stroking an ice cube along your partner’s lips. Or take kissing to the next level with some gentle biting.

#4 Neck

The neck is the perfect place to start your foreplay. Kiss your partner on their neck, making your lips slightly moist. Then slowly work your way down… What can also feel pleasant is licking the neck or blowing teasingly.

#5 Nipples

It comes as no surprise that women get excited when their nipples are stimulated. But don’t start with the nipples right away – slowly work your way up. For example, start with the neck and then move on to the nipples and breasts. The nipples can be caressed, kissed and licked. You can also carefully suck and bite them. Pay attention to your partner’s reaction, so you can find out what they like best. Men’s nipples are also sensitive, so be sure to give your partner’s nipples a lot of attention during your next foreplay session!

#6 Back

Although the back is not particularly sensitive, it can be a nice place to start your journey through your partner’s erogenous zones. Start with a sensual massage – massage oil is not required, but definitely recommended. It’s a good way to reach a state of complete relaxation. When you feel that your partner is completely relaxed, move on to one of the other spots on this list.

#7 (Under)belly

The area down below the navel has a lot of nerve endings, which is why this part of the belly is extra sensitive to touch. Take advantage of this by smothering the skin with kisses, caressing it extensively or licking it teasingly. Then you can choose to continue your way down, or tease your partner by first paying some more attention to other erogenous zones. By not going for the ultimate spot right away, you build up much more tension, which will ensure an even more intense climax.

#8 Shoulders, arms & fingers

These body parts, just like the back, are perfect as a starting point for foreplay. By starting with gentle caressing or an extensive massage, you can lead your partner to ultimate relaxation. Perfect for when you and your partner lead busy lives. Stress can definitely put a strain on your sex life. And when you’re stressed, it’s not always easy to get in the mood.

“Both giving and receiving a massage is very therapeutic and relaxing.”

When you’ve been very stressed and it’s difficult to get turned on, a massage can help. Both giving and receiving a massage has a therapeutic and relaxing effect. It’s a perfect starting point to get yourself going! During massaging and/or foreplay, don’t forget the shoulders, arms and fingers. By caressing them lightly, you can give your partner shivers all over their body. You can softly stroke their fingertips, massage their shoulders and shower your partner’s arms with kisses.

#9 Bottom

Caress, lick or massage them. Indulge your partner’s bottom during foreplay to create even more heat in the bedroom! Some people also find it pleasant and arousing to be spanked. This is not surprising, considering that in some ways, pain and pleasure are close cousins. While it can cause a lot of excitement for one person, it’s not a good idea to spank your partner out of the blue. A well-intentioned slap could actually make your partner feel less in the mood.

#10 Ball sack & perineum

The area around the penis is one big erogenous zone. Caress this area and give some extra love to the scrotum and the perineum. Many men like it when you stroke, lick or gently suck the scrotum. You can also blow gently. Keep an eye on your partner’s reaction to find out what they like and don’t like. The perineum is also very sensitive; this is the piece of skin between the scrotum and the anus. Massage the perineum gently with your fingers. Build up the tension by waiting as long as possible before touching the penis.

#11 Labia & mound of Venus

Before getting to work on her clitoris or vagina, pay some extra attention to the labia and the mound of Venus. Both the outer and inner labia contain millions of nerve endings and are very sensitive to touch. The mound of Venus is often forgotten, but it really is an erogenous zone. It’s sensitive to both soft and hard touch, which makes this area very suitable for some blazing foreplay!

It may sound odd, but it can be very pleasant to pull on the pubic mound. Because it’s connected to the clitoris and the labia, some women find this very arousing – some even find it more pleasurable than direct contact with the clitoris. The reason why dry humping feels good for many women is because it stimulates the pubic mound. So, it’s time to include this forgotten spot in your routine!

#12 Anus

There’s still a taboo on anal sex or involving the anus during sex. We don’t really understand why, because the anus is a very sensitive spot. Of course, you don’t have to start using butt plugs right away (although we won’t stop you!) – there are several ways to subtly involve the anus during foreplay. This can be very pleasurable for both men and women and has nothing to do with your sexual orientation! Caress your partner’s anus or lick it (rimming).

Take it a step further and insert your finger(s) into the anus. Make sure you use some lubricant so that it goes smoothly. Pay attention to your partner’s reaction, so you know if you can go further or if you should stop. In any case, build up to it slowly, your partner probably won’t like it if you stick two fingers into their anus out of the blue.

#13 Thighs

The skin on the inside of the thighs is very thin and is therefore extra sensitive. Stroke it gently or give it a light massage. Occasionally stroke your partner’s genitals ‘accidentally’ to increase the tension.

#14 Knee pits

Maybe it’s just me, but I find knees anything but sexy. They’re often too dry and in some cases look a little too much like grumpy men. However, the back of the knee, the knee pit, is a completely different story. This area is similar to the inside of the thigh. The thinness of the skin makes it a very sensitive area. A gentle touch causes a great deal of stimulation. As the knee pit is a less intimate place, it’s very suitable for giving some attention in public.

#15 Feet

No, it doesn’t mean you have a foot fetish if you enjoy being touched there. In fact, most people think it’s a very nice feeling. A foot massage can very well lead to a massage with a happy ending. Reason enough to spoil your lover’s feet, right?
