5 Female Erogenous Zones

So you think you know all the right spots to turn her on? So you consider yourself a pleasure point pro? Just like men have some unlikely erogenous areas, women also have some secret zones that could do with some teasing to make foreplay even more fantastic, or to focus on during a romantic massage when she just wants a tender touch.

Her Mons

It’s an unfamiliar name for many people, but many more are familiar with the area; the mons pubis is the area directly above her vagina where pubic hair grows. A light touch on this area can be very stimulating sexually, as you tease by getting oh so close to her sweet spot while caressing this often-overlooked zone.

Her Scalp

If the brain is a woman’s biggest erogenous zone, is that why a scalp massage feels so good?

Just kidding (probably). Both men’s and women’s scalps are covered with nerve endings that make them very receptive to touch, and stimulating them the right way will flood your system with feel-good hormones like dopamine and serotonin.  Scalp massages are easiest when the recipient’s hair is dry, when you can trace your fingernails lightly over their skin, or during a shared bath when their hair is thoroughly wet and conditioner is applied for some extra viscosity.

Her Lips

Of course some smooching is a great place to start on the road to her arousal, but even kissing can fall into routine territory if it’s all the same kind of kisses throughout the session. Get things started by tracing a fingertip around the outside of her lips before even starting to kiss, and when you do start with the smooches, vary the strength and intensity, alternating between light, deep, short, long – all kinds.

Her Knees

It may sound ticklish, but the right touch on or behind her knees can send her spiraling into arousal, which is all the better for the gentleman administering said touch.

Light touches or kisses around her kneecap are a good starting point, and it not too ticklish, behind her knees as well. If she is too ticklish for a light touch behind her knees, try a firm touch with a knee rub (don’t forget the massage oil!) that will stimulate this sensitive area without leaving her laughing at every touch.

Her Neck & Shoulders

Between laptop cases, purses, baby bags and gym bags, a woman’s shoulders and neck is under a constant strain, and if there’s one thing that’s better than getting home and putting down your bag, it’s a light touch that soothes a sore section. The lightest touch of them all is a kiss, which you can do all along the back of her spine from her hairline to the nape of her neck – throw in some hot breaths and watch her stress (and clothing) melt away in no time!

6 Unexpected Male Erogenous Zones

So you know everything about your partner, right? We wouldn’t doubt it for a second, but as with most things, it’s good to keep learning. When it comes to your man and what gets him turned on, check out these other erogenous zones that may be going unnoticed, and make sure you’re not missing the point!


His Forehead

Perhaps not the first erogenous zone that springs to mind, but hey that’s the point. The head and scalp are covered with nerve endings that will amplify the lightest touch, so try softly massaging from the hairline to the forehead. This will activate the release of feel-good hormones like dopamine and serotonin, resulting in some relaxation and a better mood that will get him in the mood.

The Back of His Knees

It might be ticklish back there, but this area is very valuable when stimulated during foreplay. Due to the smoothness and hairlessness of the skin back there, it’s extra sensitive to touch, so try a light, circular stroke to turn up the heat before or during the main event.

His Ears

According to sex coach and sexuality educator Amy Levine, his ears are “… often a forgotten area that can soothe or excite.” By either focusing some soft smooches or hot breaths on his lobes, you can expect his excitement to grow, or lightly pinch the area where his lobes meet his face and gently tug them downward. Repeat.

His Feet

“Men love foot massages,” says Ian Kerner, PhD, author of She Comes First. What’s more, according to reflexology, the heels are pressure points that are believed to trigger sexual arousal. Our suggestion? After you get his socks off, use massage oil, especially of the scented variety.

His Eyelids

Attention paid to his eyelids is a great way to get him in the lovemaking frame of mind. With his eyes closes, trace your fingertips gently around his eye sockets and over his eyes before laying some light kisses on the area. His closed eyes make it so that you’re in control while he can’t see, changing the power dynamic in a titillating way.

His Prostate

The final frontier for many men when it comes to pleasure, the prostate shouldn’t be overlooked, as it can greatly enhance his enjoyment during foreplay and sex. Prostate massage (with a body-safe and easy-to-clean prostate massager of course) can result in the most intense ever orgasms he’s ever had, and with that sole reason in mind, there’s no reason not to give it a try.
