31 Erogenous Zones to Explore Your Lover (and Yourself) (Part 1)

Not sorry to undeceive you, Monica Geller: they are way more than seven

We have all watched Monica and Rachel giving Chandler a lesson about erogenous zones in Season 4, Episode 11. As the wise woman Monica is, she explains to Chandler that most people tend to “hit, 1, 2, 3, and then go to 7 and set a camp,” while you should “take your time, hit them all, and mix them up.” 

But here’s the catch: there are way more than seven erogenous zones. Actually, the entire human body can be erogenous when you take the time to explore and stimulate it affectionately. 

Here, we’ll give you a comprehensive list of erogenous zones that make the delights of millions of people. Still, the bottom line is this: lovemaking should be a moment of deep connection with your partner, and the more you favor communication and devote yourself giving and receiving pleasure without thinking of the outcome but of the present moment, the better.  

This is the first of a three-part series where we’ll delve into the anatomy of pleasure from top to bottom: 

1. Scalp

The calp is full of nerve endings and connected to facial and neck muscles. So, running your fingers (or nails) through the scalp, massaging the head, or gently pulling the hair can send tingles through the body and even help relax the muscles in the neck and jaw. When massaging or caressing, try paying special attention to the areas behind the ears and nape. 

2. Ears

The ears are among the best-known erogenous zones. You can try caressing with your lips, licking them, or even biting your partner’s earlobes.

3. Mouth, lips and tongue 

Kissing is usually one of the first ways in which couples connect sensually and one of the most arousing ways to connect with your partner. The mouth, lips and tongue not only can offer but also receive great pleasure. 

Try playing around and seducing your partner by coming close to kiss them and retreating slightly before contact; kiss, lick and bite different part of their lips; bite a piece of chocolate or drink a sip of tequila and kiss; touch their lips with your fingers… the options are endless! 

4 Neck 

The neck is one of the most sensitive zones in the body, and one that most people love. You can try running your fingers along your partners neck, pressuring the back of the neck with your palm, caressing with your lips, licking and blowing softly. Take your time before going South. 

5 Trapezius

This zone has more robust muscles, but it can be very arousing. Have you tried bitting your partner’s trapezius while doing it in all fours? 

6 Nipples

Here’s the heat! The nipples and genitals stimulate the same are in the brain, which explains why even a light touch goes a long way. 

Play arond the areola licking it before moving to the nipples. Pressing and caressing the nipples with your fingers can be very exciting both for men and women, as well as licking or bitting carefully. 

7 & 8 Inner arms and armpits

Armpits and the inner skin of the arms are not very popular as ergoenous zones, but they have very sensitive skin that will send shivers across the body. You can caress and lick them, but if you don’t feel like doing that, remember you can always include them when doing an oil massage. 

9 Inner wrists

The inner wrist is very sensitive and very rarely exposed to touch. How about intertwining your fingers with theirs and running your lips or tongue across their wrists?

10 & 11 Palms and fingertips

Besides kissing and hugging, caressing the hands is one of the first forms of intimacy couples tend to experience and for good reason: they are highly sensitive and expressive zones of the body. 

You can caress them, lick them, bite them. Also, putting your fingers since your partner’s mouth while maintaining eye contact can be very arousing and lead to deep communication without words.
