Have you ever fallen into a sexual rut? The kind where you keep doing the same thing, time and time again. And it feels good, but the overall experience is — how can I say? Meh.
If you’re breathing and you’ve been fucking for any length of time, or you’ve been in a relationship with your boo for some years — you know what I’m talking about.
Now don’t get me wrong, being in a sexual rut doesn’t mean that pleasure isn’t happening. You could be having happy endings galore, but sometimes orgasms are merely a response to stimulation. Oh yeah, your body will totally betray you on some primitive-reptilian-brain-auto-response type shit.
As they say — “if you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.” And that’s cool if BORING is the goal. But you deserve better than that, and so does your partner(s).
So in the interest of keeping things fresh and learning new things, here are 5 tantalizing erogenous zones that will get just about any motor running:
Wrist
The inner wrist is a nerve hot spot. And it’s good for more than watch-wearing and pulse checking. This petite patch of flesh is home to a bundle of nerves. And the fact that it’s rarely touched makes it more reactive to sensation.
Tender kisses and delicate tongue laps will create a ripple of sensation that can sexify the mood and cause a quickening of the pulse. Ba-bum-ba-bum-ba-bum.
Ankle
Like the inner wrist, the inside of the ankle is also a frequently ignored erogenous zone. But this tiny sliver of heaven responds very well to soothing rubs and gentle grazes.
I have a habit of rubbing my partner’s ankle while we are binge-watching our favorite shows. I notice that his body seems to relax a bit when I caress him in this never-been-touched spot. And while I haven’t used this magic trick as a prelude for sex, at least not intentionally, it has been known to lead to other things — if you catch my drift.
Scalp
Grooming is built into the genetic code of primates. So it makes perfect sense that having your scalp touched, massaged, or scratched would be pleasurable. Nature is genius like that.
The simple act of racking your fingers over the terrain of your lover's scalp will not only create a stirring of arousal but will also build and strengthen your emotional and sexual connection. Two birds, one potentially orgasmic stone!
Elbow Bend + Armpits
The spaces that receive the least amount of contact on your body are often the most sensitive. This is why the bend of your elbow and your armpits (yes, your pits are good for more than sweating) are unlikely erogenous zones.
The elbow bend tends to be soft and supple and can cause arousal to stir when touched with the intent to arouse; the same is true for armpits. Like most erogenous zones, the armpits and bend of the elbow are most responsive to zephyr-like touches. So be gentle and move like molasses.
At first stroke, the receiver may respond as though they are being tickled, but if you proceed in an unhurried fashion, their body will get the hint. Feathers work great on bends and pits, allowing for a light, low-pressure stroke that will turn your partner on in the most delectable way.
Belly Button
This is it — the spot where life begins. The navel resides in the gut region, which contains more nerves than the spine (true story). In fact, the gut has its very own nervous system, which is why it’s so powerful. Can you say gut instinct?
And because the belly button is centered smack dab in the middle of prime gut real estate and adjacent to the genitals, it is super sensitive and highly receptive to pleasure.
There is no need to insert your fingers or dip your tongue into the navel unless you want to, and your partner is good with that. You can maximize pleasure by circling the perimeter and letting your fingers or tongue take a stroll down the happy trail (a.k.a. the path between the belly button and the pube). For extra credit, try using ice cubes or warm coconut oil. 😉 You’re welcome.
***
Now I’m not trying to mislead you — exploring uncharted body territory will not instantaneously overhaul your sex life. But it will lead you out of been there, done that land, and put you on the path to new possibilities.
Indulge. Delight. Enjoy. ❤
