It is often tempting to go for the "two-handed" approach when in bed with your significant other. By this I mean grabbing two handfuls of boobs or ass.
Unless you are in a hurry (a quickie can be a welcome rush sometimes), do not go straight for the goods. The obvious pleasure spots are the lips, breasts, neck, ears and genitals, but there are some lesser-known spots that can provide erotic stimulation.
The more of these places that your partner touches, the stronger the finish you will have.
A little anticipation developed through touching, kissing and massaging can go a long way.
This is also your chance to show your lover that you appreciate more than just their naughty bits (if this is not the case, I do not want to know about it).
Spot 1 - Feet:
The trick to touching your partner's feet without tickling is to apply firm pressure. Many people (especially women) find having their feet massaged and stroked to be erotic. Try massaging the arch of your partner's foot, or slowly kissing and sucking on their toes.
Spot 2 - Knees:
Rubbing, caressing, or kissing the kneecaps or the soft spot at the back of your partner's knees can provide a playful stop between their feet and your final destination.
Skim your fingertips back and forth horizontally over the backs of your lover's knees, or place your fingertips together on the top of their knee and splay your fingers out in a firework-like pattern.
Spot 3 - Stomach:
Focusing on your lover's stomach with light caressing or kissing can boost self confidence, building anticipation for finally stimulating other intimate places. Try running your hands along your partner's sides while kissing a trail down their stomach.
Spot 4 - Back:
Touching, caressing, massaging, or running your nails down your partner's back can be highly stimulating, as well as convey your immediate desire if you use these actions to pull your partner closer.
Spot 5 - Forearms:
Run your fingers along the inside of your partner's forearms for a pleasant tickling sensation. Vary your strokes by using your nails or the soft part of your fingertips to trace up and down, back and forth.
Spot 6 - Fingers:
Caressing your partner's fingers or locking hands stimulates thousands of sensitive nerves. Plus, handholding has romantic connotations and inspires feelings of safety and trust. Sucking or kissing your lover's fingers and hands can also be very erotic. Try tracing the outline of your partner's hand and kissing his or her palms.
Spot 7 - Scalp:
A scalp massage is a soothing way to touch your partner. Round your fingers and use your fingertips to massage in small circles. Try using your first two fingers to massage your lover's temples in small circles or use your hands to comb through their hair.
