The Erogenous Zones of a Woman
In both a man and a woman the erogenous zones (i.e. those parts of the body which are capable of erotic feeling) are not limited to the sex organs. However, a woman, in comparison to a man, has a larger number of more widely spread about erogenous zones. In fact, it may not be entirely wrong to say that the skin over the entire body of a woman is, to some degree, sexually responsive. At the same time, there is this fact, what in some women is a highly sensitive part, in others is not. It, therefore, follows that a good lover should, through constant experimentation, find out where his partner is most sensitive, and to what kind of stimulation. What follows below should be regarded as only some guiding-points to your delightful process of experimentation, and not as certainties.

Ears
The earlobe, the small area behind the ear and some parts of the inside of the ear are among the most erotic surfaces of a woman's body. The stimulation here should be of gentle nature; gentle nibbling, gentle fingering, gentle kissing and gentle sucking. Be careful not to breathe hard and directly into the lady's ear, but an occasional gentle, warm sigh around it may have a devastating effect !

Mouth
The lips, tongue and inner parts of the mouth are highly sensitive. Kissing (more about which later on!) is the best form of stimulation for the mouth. Do not ignore the inside of lips, especially of the lower one. For her tongue and the inner parts of her mouth, your tongue is the best tool. Touching tongue with tongue, and exploring the inside of the mouth with the tongue, can be pleasant and stimulating.

Neck Area
The neck, throat, nape of neck and shoulders are all among the more sensitive areas. Kissing, of somewhat forceful nature, sucking and up-and-down movements of the tongue may be best for this region.

Breasts
While most women highly enjoy the stimulation of their breasts and nipples, a few do not feel any sensation here. Also, some women, while enjoying the fondling of their breasts and nipples at other times, cannot tolerate it during menstruation; a period when the breasts are slightly larger and more sensitive than usual.

As a general rule, most women fear the rough handling of their breasts. So, be gentle, though at times firmness, but not roughness, may be highly desirable. There is a wide variety of ways in which the breasts and nipples can be stimulated, to give pleasure and cause arousal. Among them:
* Stroking the breasts with the palm of the hand.
* Brushing the hand and fingers softly and slowly over the nipples.
* Cupping a nipple in the palm of your hand and moving the hand in a slow clockwise motion.
* Kissing and sucking the nipples and other parts of the breasts.
* Running the tongue around the nipples.
* Squeezing the nipples between lips.
* Holding both the breasts in your hands to bring the nipples closer and running your tongue from one to the other rapidly.

Clitoris
The clitoris is the seat of orgasm, and unless it is stimulated in some form, a woman cannot reach her sexual orgasm. It is packed full of sensitive nerves, and like the penis gets filled with blood and becomes erect during sexual excitement. It is highly responsive to touch and pressure, and hence is best handled with a finger. Of course, it can also be manipulated by placing it between the thumb and a finger, or by touching it with the penis.

Though the clitoris is a great centre of sensation, most women are put off if it is handled too early in love-making. Wait until a reasonable amount of sexual arousement has taken place, and then too never begin with its direct stimulation. Stimulate it indirectly by fondling and putting pressure on the outer and inner lips of the vagina. Later on, going by the reaction of the woman, when you do begin the direct stimulation of the clitoris, be gentle and slow, though a stage may be reached when the woman indicates you to be faster. Once you have started the fondling of the clitoris itself, do not stop too soon, otherwise the sexual tension built up in the woman may just fade away, instead of ending in a fulfilling orgasm.

Vagina
Before we consider the vagina as an erotic region, let us clear a misunderstanding some people still harbour. For a long time people were led to believe by certain experts that women experience two kinds of orgasmsÄvaginal and clitoral. This is nonsense. There is nothing like vaginal orgasm. All female orgasms are clitoral in origin. You may stimulate the vagina endlessly but unless the clitoris is stimulated, either directly or indirectly, a woman will not achieve sexual orgasm. This, of course, does not mean that the vagina is not an erogenous zone. It is. The lining of the walls of the vagina is made of a special kind of membrane, and most women find the movement of the penis against it highly pleasurable and sexually exciting. Furthermore, the entry of the penis into the vagina has a beneficial psychological effect on a woman. The actual opening of the vagina, also, is highly responsive, especially to the rhythmic pressure of the fingers, and the gentle movement of the head of the penis against it. Normally, the stimulation of the vagina also leads to the indirect stimulation of the clitoris.

Other Parts of the female body
We have already seen that the vagina is covered with two pairs of lips. These, and especially the inner ones, are among the more sensitive areas of a woman's body. The perineum, i.e. the part between the anus and vagina is also excitable in many women. While some women welcome the stimulation of their anus, many find this undesirable.

The back of the knees and the inside of the thighs are sexually sensitive in most women. The light movement of the hand, starting from the back of one knee, up along the inside of the thigh, over to the other thigh, and ending at the back of the other knee, may be highly appreciated. To many women the movement of the male hand or penis against their buttocks has a special appeal.

The whole length of the back along the spine is usually sensitive to the light movement of the hand, fingers and tongue. On the opposite side, the movement of the hand against their bellies is mildly exciting to most women. The tickling of the navel with the tongue or fingers is another matter some women are joyfully driven to pieces by it, some to extreme irritation.

Feet as Erotic Parts
One rather unusual way of sexual stimulation may be the use of bare feet. In some ancient cultures, quite an importance was paid to the feet during love-making, and it might be worth experimenting with them to see if they click with you or your partner. Some possibilities; caressing of foot with foot; caressing of some sensitive zone with the big toe; kissing of the instep; gentle tickling (if he or she can stand it!).
