Sex Tip: Learn to Touch the Right Places

Touch is so important that infant who are not held or touched may suffer from what is called “failure to thrive,” a condition that can lead to their death. Aline P. Zoldbrod, in her wise and warm book Sex Smart, writes that “touch is the foundation upon which your ability to enjoy sexuality is built; it is vital to loving and to sexual expression.”

Your skin is a sensory organ with nerve endings that respond to touch, pressure, and temperature changes. Some parts of your body have more nerve endings than others (for instance, your clitoris, nipples, lips, fingertips, and genitals), and these areas are more responsive to touch. People love different sensations on their bodies. Some people like to be caressed lightly.

Others need a firm grip. Some want only to be hugged, while others need concentration just on the genitals. One way to explore touch is to experiment with sensation play. Try taking a feather duster, Brillo pad, stuffed animal, or other item and trailing it over different parts of your body without touching your genitals.

Notice the sensations that you feel as you vary the textures and pressure of the objects on different body parts. There are so many places on the human body that feel amazing when touched, try not to focus all your attention on the few obvious spots.

Yes, the breasts, nipples, buttocks, penis, and vulva are sexy places to touch. We also see images of people going gaga over having their neck caressed, but aside from these few places, much of the body is overlooked when it comes to sensual touch.
