Stimulate these erogenous zones to increase your sex drive

We are all about sex positivity and helping you increase pleasure in your sex life, so let's go over some erogenous zones that will get you in the mood.

Erogenous zones are areas of increased sensitivity and are often stimulated during sex to enhance pleasure and intimacy. For people with vaginas, extended contact with their erogenous zones can enhance the frequency and intensity of an orgasm.

Some places are obvious, such as the clitoris, but others can be more subtle, like earlobes or armpits. While everyone’s body and preferences are unique, research shows that there are five parts of the body that are typically sensitive for people with vaginas: nipples, lips, neck, ears and buttocks.

1. Nipples

Sexual contact with breasts and nipples can be so erotic that some people report being able to achieve orgasm simply from having their nipples stimulated. Intensity can vary with each person, so start slow.

Some people prefer just gentle rubbing or sucking while others might find greater pleasure in nibbling or squeezing. Try experimenting during masturbation or with a partner to see what feels best to you. For extra sensation, use a botanical massage oil.

2. Lips

There’s a reason that so many sexual encounters start with making out. Lips are incredibly sensitive areas, and kissing is both pleasurable and emotionally intimate. In fact, kissing is such a bonding experience that many couples therapists assign it as homework to promote bonding or to assist in healing trauma.

3. Neck

Necks are especially sensitive to light touching such as kissing, blowing or nibbling. In fact, the nerves in the neck are so sensitive that some studies report that stimulating necks in people with spinal cord injuries allow them to feel sexual pleasure and even orgasm.

4. Ears

Like necks, ears have a lot of nerve endings and can feel good being lightly touched, sucked or kissed.

5. Buttocks

From grabbing, spanking or just spooning, contact with butts can be extremely erotic. Take advantage of rear-entry sex (such as doggy-style) to maximize contact and pressure on your butt. An arousal serum can provide extra slip during anal penetration.

While these areas are generally erogenous, different bodies experience sexual pleasure at different capacities. Try experimenting with different speeds and intensity to find what you truly enjoy. Remember to be verbal with your partner(s) to provide guidance on what feels good.
