When you and your lady get frisky, it makes sense to reach for some pretty obvious body parts. But those tried-and-true areas of your anatomy aren’t the only places that can get you hot and bothered. Try playing with these six lesser-known zones – and have fun looking for a few unique new pleasure points of your own, too.
Sacrum (on her)
Why it’s hot: The vertebrae in the small of your partner’s back (right above her buttocks) contain sacral nerves, which shoot straight to your genitals. In fact, electric stimulation of this nerve will trigger an orgasm in91 percent of women, according to studies. Try this: Have her lie on her stomach and press on the sacrum with your palm, or give it a gentle karate chop-style massage. This will stimulate the sacral nerves and build heat in the genitals.
Nipples (on you)
Why it’s hot: Your partner’s nipples probably get plenty of attention and action. But yours can be very hot spots, too: They contain just as many nerve endings as hers do. Try this: Tell your partner to start off by lightly stroking the area with her fingertips. If that gets rave reviews, she should try upping the intensity with a gentle pinch or playful tug.
Big toe (on her)
Why it’s hot: Ever noticed how your partner’s toes twitch when she’s hitting a high note (hence the term toe curling orgasm)? That’s because there’s a direct neurological link between her privates and her little piggies – especially the biggie. What’s more, you can work this reflex in the other direction: stimulating the big toe can actually trigger an orgasm in some women. Try this: Of course, you can take her toes into your mouth – a classic bedroom move. Or you can gently pinch the sides of her big toe and roll it between your fingers. This activates reflexology pathways connected to her genitals.
Soles of the feet (on you)
Why it’s hot: Women aren’t the only ones packing pleasure potential in their feet – you do, too. According to a plethora of studies, the soles are the masculine sweet spot. Try this: Your partner should aim for an acupressure point on the bottom on your foot, about one third of the way down from the third toe. This is nicknamed the Bubbling Spring since pressing here and holding for a few seconds can cause energy to bubble up from the legs to the genitals. Or she can simply try lightly brushing the soles of your feet.
Navel (on her)
Why it’s hot: Her navel and her clitoris have a lot in common: in the womb, these two regions grow from the same tissue, linking them neurologically in adulthood. In fact, if you stick your finger in her belly button, your partner may sense it in her genitals. Try this: Use your tongue and fingers to delve into this indentation. If that’s too intense, caress or kiss your way two to three inches southward. You’ll hit three acupressure points, called the Sea of Energy, which are linked to sexual pleasure as well as fertility.
Nose (on you and her)
Why it’s hot: Next to your kisser, your sniffer contains more nerve endings than any other part of your face. Plus, your nasal passages contain erectile tissue that expands when aroused, further increasing circulation and sensitivity. Stimulating this area can even lead to honeymoon sinusitis, in which canoodling couples come down with cases of nasal congestion. Try this: Nibble on the tips of each other’s nose. The cartilage here is receptive to heavier stimulation like this. Or rub noses in an Eskimo kiss. You and your honey may come down with honeymoon sinusitis everywhere – but hey, who’s complaining?
Hot kisses,
