1.1 Nonspecic zones

In these zones, the skin is similar to normal-haired skin
and has the normal high density of nerves and hair follicles. These areas include the sides and back of the
neck, the inner arms, the axillae (armpits) and sides of the
thorax. An exaggerated tickle and anticipatory response
are responsible for the heightened sensual response.

nis, clitoris and rest of the vulva, and perianal skin.[1] The
neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of erogenous zones is
partly unknown. These zones are apparently mucocutaneous skin. The rete ridges of the epithelium are wellformed and more of the nerves are close to the external
surface of the skin than in normal-haired skin.[1] These
zones seem to have a high density of innervation, an eAn erogenous zone (from Greek eros love and

sensitivity, the stimulation of which may generate a sexual response, such as relaxation, the production of sexual
fantasies, sexual arousal and orgasm.

2 Genitals

Erogenous zones are located all over the human body, but
the sensitivity of each varies, and depends on concentrations of nerve endings that can provide pleasurable sensations when stimulated. The touching of another persons
erogenous zone is regarded as an act of physical intimacy.
Some people may resent stimulation in this manner while
others may nd it pleasing, and this may also depend on
the relationship between the people.

2.1 Male
Males can be aroused by stimulation to the sides of the
glans and penis, upper side of the glans, the foreskin, the
front side of the scrotum, the skin between the scrotum
and anus perineum, and around the anus.[5] The prostate
gland may be stimulated from inside the rectum, such as
by anal sex, or by applying pressure on the base of the
perineum near the anus.[6][7][8] Men who report the sensation of prostate and seminal vesicles stimulation often
give descriptions similar to females accounts of G-spot
stimulation.[9]

Erogenous zones may be classied by the type of sexual response that they generate. Many people are gently
aroused when their eyelids, eyebrows, temples, shoulders,
hands, arms and hair are subtly touched. Gently touching or stroking of these zones stimulates a partner during
foreplay and increases the arousal level. Also, the gentle
massage or stroke of the abdominal area along with kiss- The foreskin, which carries the ridged band and lower

are formed after birth, with few in newborn infants and
many well-organized endings in adults.[1]
The neck, clavicle area and the back of the neck are very
sensitive in both males and females, which can be stimulated by licking, kissing or light caressing. Some people

also like being bitten gently in these areas, often to the
point that a hickey, or love-bite is formed.
Cold and Taylor state in 1999 that the foreskin is primary
erogenous tissue.[12] Alanis and Lucidi in 2004 describe
3.4 Ears
this as speculative and unproven.[13]

2.2

Female

Parts of the vulva, especially the clitoris, are highly sensitive erogenous zones.[14][15][16] While the vagina is not especially sensitive as a whole, its lower third (the area close
to the entrance) has concentrations of the nerve endings
that can provide pleasurable sensations during sexual activity when stimulated; this is also called the anterior wall
of the vagina or the outer one-third of the vagina, and it
contains the majority of the vaginal nerve endings, making it more sensitive to touch than the inner two-thirds of
the vaginal barrel.[15][16][17][18]

Some people nd whispering or breathing softly in the

ear to be pleasurable and relaxing, as well as licking, biting, caressing and/or kissing it especially the area of and
behind the earlobe.

4 Torso
4.1 Chest
The areola and nipple contain Golgi-Mazzoni, VaterPacini and genital corpuscles. No Meissners corpuscles
and few organized nerve endings are present.[1] There are
concentrations of nerve tissue in the area of ducts and
masses of smooth muscle. The hair surrounding the areola adds additional sensory tissue. The mass of smooth
muscle and glandular-duct tissue in the nipple and areola
block the development of normal dermal nerve networks
which are present in other erogenous regions and the development of special end organs. The entire breast has a
network of nerve endings, and it has the same number of
nerve endings no matter how large the breast is, so that
larger breasts may need more stimulation than smaller
ones.

Within the anterior wall of the vagina, there is a patch of

ribbed rough tissue which has a texture that is sometimes
described as similar to the palate (the roof of a mouth)
or a raspberry, and may feel spongy when a woman is
sexually aroused. This is the urethral sponge, which may
also be the location of the G-spot a structure described
as an area of the vagina that some women report is an
erogenous zone which, when stimulated, can lead to sexual arousal, powerful orgasms and female ejaculation.[19]
The existence of the G-spot and whether or not it is a distinct structure is debated among researchers, as reports
of its location vary from woman to woman, it appears to Intense nipple stimulation may result in a surge in the probe nonexistent in some women, and scientists commonly duction of oxytocin and prolactin which could have a sigbelieve that it is an extension of the clitoris.[16][20][21][22] nicant eect on his or her genitals, to the point that some

genitals.[28]
An exaggerated tickle on the back of the legs and knees
can also be sensitive for some.

4.3

Tailbone

The tailbone, located near the base of the spine, just

above the anus, is an erogenous zone.[29]

Arms

The skin of the arms, and specically the softer skin of

the inner arms and across the creased mid-arm bend covering the ventral side of the elbow, are highly sensitive
to manual or oral stimulation. Caressing with ngers or
tongue, more vigorous kneading, and buttery kissing can
initiate arousal and, in some cases, induce clitoral/vaginal
orgasm or penile ejaculation without direct contact with
the latter areas. The mid-arm bend is especially sensitive
due to the thinner skin found there, which makes nerve
endings more accessible. Arm sensitivity may be reduced
or concentrated to a more narrow range by excessive muscularity or obesity on the one hand, or transformed to
uncomfortable tenderness by excessive thinness on the
other.

9 Feet and toes

Because of the concentration of nerve endings in the sole
and digits of the human foot, and possibly to the close
proximity of the area of the brain dealing with tactile
sensations from the feet and the area dealing with sensations from the genitals, the sensations produced by sucking or licking the feet can be pleasurable to some people.
Similarly, massaging the sole of the foot produces similar stimulation. Many people are extremely ticklish in the
foot area, especially on the bottom of the soles.

Armpits

Some consider the armpits to be an erogenous zone.

If pheromones exist for humans, they would likely be
secreted by a mixture of liquid from the sebaceous
glands with other organic compounds in the body.[30]
George Preti, an organic chemist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia and Winnefred Cutler
of the University of Pennsylvania's psychology department, discovered that women with irregular menstrual
cycles became regular when exposed to male underarm
extracts.[30] They hypothesized that the only explanation
was that underarms contain pheromones, as there was no
other explanation for the eects, which mirrored how
pheromones aect other mammals.[30]
