When one considers erogenous zones, most often it is the lips, the breasts, and the genitals that come to mind. Of course, nothing compares to a really fabulous kiss, the kind that buckles your knees and makes you want more, or the sensual caress of your more delicate regions. And yet, there are many curves and crevices finely tuned to intimate touch that often get overlooked. What a shame.
Making love is an art. One benefit of long-term relationships is that we can succumb, become vulnerable, and develop our abilities to give and receive pleasure. Tantric sex, Kama Sutra, and sensual massage are ancient modalities for modern lovers who want to explore ways of creating physical and emotional intimacy. Their wisdom lies in the elevation of sexuality beyond the myths many of us grew up believing. One of those assumptions is that sex is between the genitals and it isn’t complete unless we orgasm. This sort of thinking gets us stuck on the goal rather than the journey of exploring what excites us beyond intercourse.
Stimulate all your senses for ultimate love-making
One way to accomplish this is to find ways to stimulate all your senses: touch, taste, hearing, sight and smell; to explore equally sensitive and less traveled pleasure spots on your bodies.
For example, the tip of your nose is an erogenous zone; it is composed of erectile tissue (surprise, surprise!). For proof, gently brush your lover’s face with your fingertips and make circles around his or her nostrils next time you are up close and personal (don’t do this while driving, drinking coffee, that sort of thing as the impact could be something else all together!). Modern Love bets you will be pleasantly surprised by the experience. Murmur, murmer, sigh, sigh, wow that feels good…
The slideshow should help you find other areas to caress, kiss and nibble next time you are intimate. Play with each other’s bodies. It’s called ‘For-Play’ for reason, after all.

I'm sending to my husband!
Whew! I need a cigarette, and I don't smoke
Thank you!
I aim to please! :) Thanks folks.
What wonderful tips! Thank you ~ One can easily get lost in your tantalizing ways to describe the erogenous zones with images.
Huh. Oddly, I've always noticed that my pinky finger and inner elbows are oddly sensitive, though I always thought that was just because of my Autistic sensory issues. For example, the good feeling I get from having my back lightly scratched, or the fact that I hate for my knees or the soles of my feet to touch each other. I may be hypersensitive, but maybe I'm more typical than I thought...
So... thanks for the tips. I'll have to keep these in mind. For me, for-play is just as important as the sex, if not more so. Light touch on the sensitive points of the body is something a lot of people don't give much merit to.
