The erogenous zones: oh, how sensitive!

The human body is lined with ultra-sensitive erogenous zones stimulation. These areas scattered on the body are all potential sources to cause sexual excitement intense.

The erogenous zones are distinguished from the rest of the body by their very high sensitivity to stimulation. When stimulated through caresses, but also biting, these specific areas are likely to cause sexual excitement more or less intense as the case may lead to an orgasm. Phase excitation of the erogenous zones before penetration is commonly known as foreplay.

Two types of erogenous zones

If a priori, the entire surface of the skin is erogenous, specific areas provide an erotic rise faster and intense. Thus, the sexologists distinguished two types of erogenous zones: the primary areas in heavily irrigated areas and nerve endings less sensitive side.

Among the primary areas generally found for both sexes genitalia.

Secondary zones are scattered against the body and depend on each individual. The main erogenous zones include the skin as a whole but more specifically the lips, earlobes, neck, armpits, breasts, hands, abdomen, buttocks, genitalia, perineum , anus, inner thighs, the back of the knees, feet. The mind is also highly erogenous. The sexual act is largely influenced by higher brain activity.

Erogenous zones in women

In women, the primary erogenous zone is based on two poles ultra sensitive: the clitoris and vagina. The excitement of the clitoris is obtained by stroking or rubbing. The vagina on the other hand is almost entirely devoid of touch receptors. The excitement thus comes from the woman herself. The rise of desire causes sensitivity in response to blood congestion and contractions of the muscles of the vaginal wall. G-spot stimulation could have an impact on the growth of desire. The G spot is located on the front of the vagina, a few inches from the vaginal opening.

The other side sensitive erogenous zones in women are breast but also the rest of the genital tract (small and large lips, anus, perineum, buttocks ...).

Erogenous zones in men

In humans, the primary erogenous zone focuses on the glans and the penis. The skin covering the penis acts by friction on the glans during masturbation and penetration.

The nipples and the areas near the genital (testicles, anus ...) are also sensitive but can not alone cause excitation leading to orgasm.

Did you know?

According to sexologists, the chemistry leading to orgasm in both men than in women based on a comprehensive set of very diverse factors which are physical but also in large part psychological. The only excitement of erogenous zones may well be enough to achieve orgasm. The sense of smell, hearing and touch combine with trust in each other to get pleasure.
