3. What is Erogenous Zone???
The word erogenous comes from the Greek
“eros” which means love, and the English
“genous”, meaning producing.
An erogenous zone is an area of the human
body that has heightened sensitivity, which,
when stimulated, may create a sexual
response such as relaxation, thoughts of
sexual fantasies, sexual arousal and orgasm.

5. 1). Clitoris
A runaway winner for the title of
"Body Part Contributing Most to Sexual
Arousal," the clitoris is extremely
sensitive.
2). Vagina
The interior of the vagina, however,
does contain nerve endings, and women
report that deep stimulation leads to more
intense orgasms. The outer edge of the
vagina, on the other hand, tends to
respond to light touch.

6. 4). Neck
According to a large international survey
of women, both the nape and back of the neck
are among the top 10 erogenous zones. One
study found that the neck is very sensitive to
light touch, especially (oddly enough) among
people with low body fat.
3). Mouth and Lips
A recent survey found kissing to be
more important in relationship-building
than in sexual arousal. Many women rank
the lips and mouth highly as erogenous
areas.

7. 5). Breasts and Nipples
While both men and women may like to
look at breasts (for evolutionary purposes,
apparently), they're not just for show—they
play a role in sexual arousal as well.
6). Ears
Ears are super sensitive to touch,
probably due to a large number of nerve
endings. Although there's no science yet to
say why ears are erogenous, it seems to be a
fairly common consensus that they are.

9. 1). Penis
both survey and lab-based scientific
experiments demonstrate that penile
stimulation significantly contributes to sexual
satisfaction.
2). Mouth and Lips
Highly sensitive, male lips respond to
light touch, temperature, or pressure. Kissing
also triggers a release of hormones involved in
intimacy—especially oxytocin, the so-called
"love hormone."

10. 3). Scrotum
Ranked No. 3 (behind penis and
lips) in ability to produce sexual arousal,
the scrotum is one of men's most
notable erogenous zones. Lots of nerves
mean that this area is super-sensitive to
touch.
4). Neck
While touching the neck doesn't appear
to be quite as much of a turn-on for men as for
women, it's still ranked pretty highly on the
erogenous zones list. The neck has great
sensitivity to low-frequency vibration, making it
a prime spot for light erotic touch

11. 7). Ears
Highly sensitive to touch because of a
high number of sensory receptors on the skin,
the ears are ranked just behind the scrotum for
body parts that help men orgasm when touched
or otherwise stimulated.
5). Nipples
As with women, men rank nipples as a definite hot spot. While male
nipples don't appear to serve any real purpose (they're basically by-products
of evolution), that doesn't mean they're totally useless—they still have plenty
of nerve endings!
6). Perineum
The perineum (the area between the anus and scrotum) is hooked up
to perineal nerves, which help convey sensations of sexual pleasure from the
genitals to the brain. In other words, if you're not familiar with this area, it
might be worth your time to get acquainted.
