6 Pleasure Spots Beyond the Penis

The way we’ve learned about pleasure centers genitals and genital pleasure. In reality all bodies have many erogenous zones that can be combined with genital pleasure or enjoyed on their own. Penis owners can feel narrowed in their body’s pleasure with a heavy emphasis on erections during sex.

Here are 6 Pleasure Spots Beyond the Penis:

Ears

The ears are super sensitive to touch because there are lots of sensation receptors inside and outside of the ear. Whether you suck on the top part of the ear, run your tongue on the inside or nibble on an earlobe, you'll be getting up close and personal with a sensitive spot while your hands are free to roam the rest of the body. 

Sides of body - ribs

Anywhere on the body that has thinner skin is going to have more sensitivity to sensation and more possibility of blood flow during arousal. The sides of the body might be ticklish on some people, so you can test out the area with slow touch - dragging your hands and fingers down the sides of their body, leaving breadcrumbs of kisses on their ribs or little nibbles. 

Armpits

Armpits are super sensitive (and can be ticklish!). While they don't have any special nerve endings compared to other similar skin parts of the body, they can be really intimate because it's an under-serviced erogenous zone - it doesn't get a lot of sexy branding. Armpits are a mutually beneficial spots because they also are a place that secretes scent - which can be a turn on during sex and feel primal to suck, lick or experiment with light, teasing touch. 

Fingers

Fingers are sensitive and we often think of them as being receptor points for experiencing touch. Fingers can be delighted by massaging them, kissing the pads gently, dragging your teeth up the side of them and even putting them in your mouth and dragging them out slowly while making eye contact. 

Backs

Backs are full of nerve endings and have a big surface area for you to tease. Massages are one way of stimulating the back - try adding a melting massage bar. You can also use textures and temperature to create sensations. Try playing with ice cubes, body safe wax candles and pinwheels or feathers. 

Necks and collarbones

Kissing, licking, sucking, exhaling hot breath onto necks and collarbones can send shivers up someone’s spine. It might be too ticklish of an area for some - so start light and build up pressure or intensity. If you think your partner might enjoy you nibbling on this area - ask if they’d enjoy that. 

A couple of under-serviced erogenous zones ON the penis:

Base of shaft

The penis extends into the body farther than we can see. The base of the penis is a great spot for influencing blood flow with pressure from your fingers, for using more pressure than is comfortable on other parts of the penis, and even for using cock rings. At the base of the penis, explore putting pressure around the shaft with your index finger and thumb in an 'ok' symbol pushing back towards the body, while your mouth or other hand stimulates of the rest of the penis.  

Urethra

The urethra is the pee hole on everyone's body. On penises, ejaculation also happens through the urethra. Because the urethra is connected to the bladder, some people enjoy stimulating it to delight all the delicious nerve endings around the base of the bladder. It can feel sensitive to the point of discomfort for some people, and other people enjoy the fine line between intensity and discomfort. Try playing with your tongue on the urethral opening (pee hole) by dragging your tongue firmly against it or lightly teasing it with slow and intentional licks or holding a vibrator against it to allow sensation to travel. 

Trying something new can feel intimidating because pleasure might look unfamiliar or you might be in your head comparing types of pleasure. Communication can support your pleasure exploration. Ask your partner if you both can spend some time discovering other hot spots on your bodies. Arousal can be amplified if we engage other under-serviced hot spots on the body - which might lead to full body pleasure, better orgasms, more connection and more fun.
