9 Surprising Male Erogenous Zones

You know the usual places that turn your husband on, but when it comes to the most erogenous zones of his body, are you hitting the right places? We spoke to the experts to hear about the surprising male pleasure spots you might be missing.
1. Feet
Get him to take his socks off, grab the lotion and get rubbing. “Men love foot massages,” says Ian Kerner, PhD, a New York City sex expert and the author of many books, including She Comes First. Additionally, according to the ancient practice of reflexology, the heels of the feet are believed to be pressure points that can trigger sexual arousal. Want to up the ante? Dr. Kerner suggests brushing his feet against your mouth or breasts, which can really get him excited. Photo: Thinkstock

2. Ears
“Many men love when their ears are touched,” says Amy Levine, a New York City–based sex coach, certified sexuality educator and founder of IgniteYourPleasure.com. “It’s often a forgotten area that can soothe or excite him.” Just place your thumb and index finger on the spot where his ear lobe connects to the tissue near his face, she says. “Then, gently pull down and let your fingers slide off so you can start again.” Photo: Thinkstock

3. The Back of the Knees
It’s a tickle spot, yes, but in the heat of the moment, the back of the knees can also be a pleasure spot. “The skin is smoother at the back of knee, and many men love to be kissed or caressed there,” says Dr. Kerner, who notes that areas like this, where there is less hair, are often more sensitive and exciting for men. Plus, he adds, even gentle touch can lead to fireworks. “Orgasm is buildup and release of sexual tension, so the more tension you build up, the greater the release,” he explains. To amp up his anticipation, lightly touch the back of the knees with your fingertips in a circular motion, being sure to keep your touch firm. Photo: Thinkstock

4. Lower Abs
Start at his belly button and work your hands south, suggests Dr. Kerner. “The area of the abdomen between the navel and pelvis is a fun area to tantalize, and as blood flows to the pelvis and sexual tension gathers, it’s a good area to simulate,” he says, adding that “by going from genitals to other areas and then back again you will develop sexual tension throughout the body.” Photo: iStockphoto

5. Inner Thighs
Think of his inner thighs as the “gift wrapping to his package,” recommends Levine, who says that light touching in this zone can get him in the mood—fast. Here’s how: “Slowly move your fingertips up and down his inner thighs,” she says. “Then, tease him by following the outline of the crevice of his thigh, sensuously moving your index and middle finger up and down this hot spot for a few strokes before pressing the palm of your hand on the top of his thigh to start again with your fingertips.” Photo: Thinkstock

6. The Mind
Whisper something sexy in his ear, says Barbara Bartlik, MD, a New York City–based sex therapist. The mind is a powerful erogenous zone for men, she says. “Very recent, innovative research suggests that a heightened state of arousal in the generalized central nervous system (the brain) facilitates sexual arousal.” When his mind begins to get excited, his body follows suit.

7. Eyelids
When his eyes are closed, kissing or rubbing his eyelids gently can show him that you love him—and also drive him wild, says Dr. Kerner. Why? When his eyes are closed, you’re in control, which is an experience a lot of men enjoy, he explains. “If a move or touch is in the context of a dominant woman it can be a totally different—and pleasurable—experience for a man.” Try lightly running your fingers around his eyes and eye sockets, then kissing the area lightly, while he lies with his eyes closed, recommends Levine.

8. Nape of the Neck
Using a feather, your fingers or any gentle touch on his neck and collarbone area can increase his arousal, says Dr. Kerner, who advises mixing things up. “Think about stimulating two areas at once,” he says. For example, rubbing his neck lightly or nibbling on an earlobe while also running your hands southward. “Think creatively about combination.” Photo: Thinkstock

9. Forehead
His forehead may not seem like a sexy spot, but try to “think of the male body as a totally erogenous landscape,” says Dr. Kerner. After all, the head and scalp are covered with nerve endings, and lightly massaging from his hairline to his forehead can trigger feel-good hormones like dopamine and serotonin that may just get him in the mood.

Reasons Why Your Hips Hurt

Hips Don't lie Inside the Joint Each hip is a ball-and-socket joint. The ball is the top of your thighbone (femoral head). The socket (acetabulum) is in your pelvic bone. Smooth, slippery tissue called cartilage lets the ball and socket glide against each other when you move. A thin lining (synovium) tops the cartilage and makes a bit of synovial fluid, which further eases rubbing.  Tendons, ligaments, and muscles complete the joint. Osteoarthritis It’s the “wear and tear” type of arthritis that many people get in middle age. Cartilage on the ball end of the thighbone and in the hip socket slowly breaks down and causes grinding between bones. You’ll have stiffness, and you might feel pain in your crotch and at the front of your thigh that radiates to your knee and behind. It’s often worse after a hard workout or when you don’t move for a while. Rheumatoid Arthritis With RA, your immune system attacks parts of your body, which can include the syn...

Anesthesia Before Age 2 Linked to Learning Problems

There are new concerns about an increased risk for learning problems in very young children exposed to general anesthesia during surgical procedures. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., found a twofold increase in learning disabilities in children who had more than one exposure to general anesthesia with surgery before age 2. The study is published in the November issue of Pediatrics. The FDA requested and funded the study. Last spring, an FDA panel met to review the research examining the effect of early exposure to anesthesia on the developing brain. Following the meeting, FDA director of anesthesia and analgesia products Bob Rappaport, MD, wrote that additional studies are needed. He noted that "at present, there is not enough information to draw any firm conclusions" about the long-term impact of early exposure to general anesthesia on the brain. The new study adds to the evidence linking repeated exposure to general anesthesia very early i...

FDA: 5 Death Reports for Monster Energy Drink

  The FDA is investigating reports of five deaths and a nonfatal heart attack in people who drank high- caffeine energy drinks made by the Monster Energy Company. Meanwhile, a Maryland couple has filed a wrongful death suit against the company, alleging that their product killed their 14-year-old daughter. They say Anais Fournier, 14, collapsed after drinking her second 24-ounce Monster Energy drink in two days. She died six days later. The reports are not proof that the drinks caused the deaths, but merely signal there might be a problem. Even if the deaths are determined to be caused by caffeine poisoning, the FDA will consider all sources of caffeine before blaming the deaths on the energy drink. In addition to caffeine, energy drinks contain other stimulants, including taurine and guarana , a caffeine-containing plant. Because energy drinks are sold as nutritional supplements, they are not regula...
