Touchy, Touchy: His Unexpected Sexual Hot Spots

Cop a feel of some of his more unusual erogenous zones tonight. He'll be like putty in your hands...

Rebecca McKnight

Have you ever wondered why your man is obsessed with getting foot rubs or why he gets all happy when you kiss his forehead?

When it comes to love, sex and intimacy, there’s a common misconception that you just need to touch one part of his body in order to get him into things (eh, you know which part we’re talking about). However, despite what we are led to believe, men are actually just as complex as us womenfolk when it comes to what turns them on.

And did you know that there are certain parts of his body (bar the usual erogenous zones) that will have him like putty in your hands?

Here are some of the most often overlooked erogenous zones of your man’s body and some tips on how you can work these areas to your advantage…

Get up, close and personal with your man tonight

His Feet: For some reason, nearly all men absolutely love getting a foot rub. Why? Well, according to the ancient practice of reflexology this is because the heels of the feet are actually hidden pressure points that can trigger sexual arousal. The next time he’s chilling out on the sofa, why not grab a bottle of body lotion and treat him to a foot rub, paying special attention to his heels. If you spoil him with a foot massage there’s a strong chance that he’ll give you a different kind of treat later on in the bedroom.

The Back of His Knees: It sounds a bit random, but did you know when things heat up in the bedroom, the back of his knees become a serious pleasure spot? This is because the skin is smoother and more sensitive in that spot, which means he’ll feel more pleasure there. The next time you’re getting it on, try lightly touching the back of his knees with your fingertips in a circular motion. He’ll love you for it.

His Inner Thighs: Again, the inner thighs are a seriously sensitive area of a man’s body. Get him in the mood by lightly touching and stroking this area of his body. Move your fingertips up and down his inner thighs as slowly as possible to build anticipation. Then press the palm of your hand against the top of his thigh and look him directly in the eyes. When it comes to sex, anticipation is great for upping the arousal levels. Chances are he’ll get so excited he’ll grab your hand before you have a chance to finish what you’re doing.

His Lower Stomach: This area has a lot of blood flow in it, meaning that it’s a lot more sensitive than other parts of his body. Stroke it, kiss it and massage it to build sexual tension throughout your man’s body.

His mind is one of his main erogenous zones

His Mind: Men are very visual creatures, so rather than giving him an actual eyeful why not try something a little different? Get your man to close his eyes and then whisper something sexy in his ear. Recent research has revealed that a heightened state of arousal in the brain facilitates actual sexual arousal in the body. So if you excite his mind, you’ll excite his body too.

His Eyelids: Much like the back of his knees, a man’s eyelids are also pretty sensitive. Trail some very light kisses over his eyelids the next time he has his eyes closed. This is a very intimate move that will show him how much you love him and also offer him a very different (and pleasurable) experience.

The Nape of His Neck: If possible, get a feather and run it along the nape of your man’s neck. This part of his body is full of nerve endings that will give him some delicious shivers when touched. Try kissing his neck and using your hands to rub his earlobes or stroke his face. He’ll melt.

His Forehead: It may not seem like an overtly sexy spot, but again, his forehead is a place that is covered with nerve endings meaning that even the slightest touch in this area will feel amazing for him. Kiss his forehead or go one step further and give him a full-blown head massage. He’ll be begging you to take things to the bedroom.
