Instead of just dispensing advice, we thought we'd give you some starting points. Everyone has their preferences when it comes to being touched, but there are some common nongenital areas of the human body that, when stimulated, can lead to arousal. Taking it from the top, the list includes:

The face: Your mouth, cheeks, eyebrows, temples all respond to light touch and gentle kisses.
The ears: Blowing softly into the ear, or licking the earlobe gently, can be a major turn-on for some men and women.

The neck and shoulders: This highly sensitive area responds extremely well to kissing, licking, light touch, soft nibbling, and gentle massage.

The armpits, arms, and insides of the elbows: Most of us don't think of our armpits as a sexual body part, but you need only run a finger in a circular movement there to know how tingly terrific it can feel. Likewise, the arms, particularly the forearms, can feel awesome when kissed, licked, and touched. Be aware, though, that this can be a ticklish zone for some.

The breasts: We don't have to explain much here. Men love women's breasts. Women love men's pecs. Men's nipples are highly sensitive; women's are even more so. In fact, some fortunate females can reach orgasm via nipple stimulation alone. You can tweak them, kiss them, and suck them. Have a blast. But be gentle.

The Abdomen: You need only look at the cover of men's and women's fitness magazines to know that washboard abs are a major turnon these days. But whether yours are rock-hard or sensuously soft, they'll respond to touch. Go slowly. This area, too, tends to be ticklish.

The hands: Nothing like a hand massage to elicit moans and groans of pleasure. The fingertips and palms are especially sensitive to firm, yet gentle touch.

The back: Women primarily respond to kissing, touching, and massaging this area. Exploring the bases of a woman's spine can be particularly arousing.

Buttocks: Kiss them. Lick them. Knead them gently. You'll get a great reaction. Take our word.

The legs: As much as women complain about their thighs, they're a source of great pleasure. Thin or thunderous, they respond to fingertip touching, kissing, the range. Men aren't particularly sensitive in this area, unfortunately.

The feet: Another area where massage works wonders. Give a woman a foot massage and she will do anything for you. Well, almost anything. Rub a man's toes and he's yours at least for the night.
