If your partner has ever been giving you some affection in a non-sexual way and you found yourself a little aroused, they might have brushed up against one of your erogenous zones. Erogenous zones are highly sensitive parts of the body that, when touched, can elicit a sense of arousal, relaxation and – under the right circumstances – even orgasm.
The genitals are obvious erogenous zones, but humans actually have several all over the body. And knowing what yours are, as well as your partner can really enhance foreplay and intimacy. If you’re exploring new ways to get turned on, try first by having your partner (or yourself) touch some of these lesser-known erogenous zones. The reaction varies from one individual to the next, and the setting has to be right. So dim the lights, light some candles, and take some time to see how you react to each zone.
1) Ears

There might not appear to be anything sensual about the ears, but see what happens when your partner gently plays with your earlobes or even puts their mouth over your ear. If they’re game, they can stick their tongue in there, too. The ears can be very sensitive for some individuals. One more way to stimulate this area is through simple sound – like whispering. Ears are so erogenous that an entire industry known as ASMR, popped up around them.
2) Inner Wrists

The inner wrists, when touched gently, can be very sensitive and bring on a deep sense of relaxation, which, in the right setting, can bring on arousal. Have your partner softly run their fingers up and down your inner wrists, or they can use a soft object like a feather or a silk scarf.
3) The Back Of The Knee

For some, this area is incredibly sensitive but for some, a different – more pleasurable – sensation arises when this area is touched. If your partner already loves giving your legs lots of attention, ask them to direct some of that to the soft skin behind your knees.
4) Breasts

This one might come as no surprise, but the nipples are highly erogenous. In fact, a study published in Human Andrology showed that the breasts are some of the most sensitive non-genital body parts on women. That’s great news if your partner is already into boobs. Ask them to spend a little more time on this area. They can gently rub their lips over your nipples, lick around the nipples, or brush something soft over the breast.
5) The Neck

For some women, all it takes is a kiss on the neck to get in the mood, and that’s because the neck is highly sensitive. The back of the neck in particular can be very erogenous. Because it’s so close to the ears, your partner can cover a couple of sweet spots at once.
6) Feet And Toes

MADAMENOIRE previously covered different types of kinks and fetishes, and foot fetishes are one of the most common types. For some, a sexual love of feet goes beyond just looking at feet or holding them. Some people love to have their toes sucked on because the 10 digits you put in your shoes are erogenous zones. If your partner isn’t down to snack on your toes, maybe you can ask for a foot massage.
