Sex Marks the Spot

It doesn't take a genius to guess what your guy would say if asked which part of his body he most likes you to get... familiar with. But don't let that stop you getting to know other hot spots on his body too. Getting a hand(le) on them will turn him on more than even he may expect. And it will make his orgasm extra intense when you eventually do get to his, er, favorite part.

Stimulating these spots not only feels terrific for a man, but it also builds sexual tension throughout his entire body and increases blood flow to his genitals. This boosts his arousal and intensifies his pelvic contractions, magnifying his orgasm tenfold.

You've probably heard of his G-spot. Here's how to find it - and seven other hot spots that may be new to you (and him, which will add to his excitement).

G-Spot

A man's prostate - the walnut-sized gland under his bladder - is the magic button to push if you want to blow his mind in bed. To tantalize it, rest two fingers against the swath of skin between his testicles and anus. His prostate is situated above your fingers, inside his body, so by applying pressure here, you're indirectly rubbing his G-spot. You can do this during oral sex or intercourse. When you sense he's close to orgasm, rhythmically press the area (one pulse every second) until he climaxes.

A more intense form of stimulation is to place a finger in his anus. First, gauge his interest by circling the entrance softly with your finger while in a missionary or side-by-side position. If he doesn't tell you to stop and his erection doesn't flag, he's likely enjoying it. Next, ask him whether you can insert your finger. If he gives you the go-ahead, dab on lube (your nails must be short), gently push your finger in about 5cm deep and then curl it in towards the front of his body until you feel a round bulb of tissue - his prostate. Lightly tap or swirl your fingertip around it. Then gradually experiment with going faster and firmer. Check to make sure he likes what you're doing.

C-Spot

You probably know the ear is an erogenous zone, but you might be surprised to discover just how powerful a turn-on it can be. The most erotic section is the outer edge. This firm, C-shaped ridge of cartilage houses the ear's biggest bundle of nerves. Kiss him on his neck and then along the back of his ear. With each kiss, exhale so your hot breath warms the area. Then rest your lips on the top of his ear and drag them down the edge so your lips brush the front and back of it. The more aroused he gets, the more sensation he'll crave. Now nibble and suck his C-spot. As you do so, rub his penis to the same rhythm.

8-Spot

Place a finger under his penis where the shaft and scrotum meet. Draw a ring around the base of his penis with your fingertip (that's the top half of the '8'), then draw another around his scrotum where it attaches to his body (that's the bottom half). This spot contains the same sensitive erectile tissue that forms a man's penis.

During foreplay, trace out the 8 with your finger or tongue, or use your tongue to tantalize one half while your fingers cover the other, then switch. Next, circle your tongue around his scrotum and, at the same time, squeeze the base of his penis with your thumb and forefinger. This traps blood in his penis.

Sexy variations: hold a hot mug in your hands for five seconds before tracing both halves of the figure 8 with your fingers. The warmth will intensify every touch. Or cover your index finger with satin - your knickers or a thong, perhaps - before smoothly gliding it over the area. Another feel-good move is to weave a thin silk scarf loosely along the base of his penis and scrotum in a figure-8 shape and then slowly pull it as you keep rewrapping it around his 8-spot. The cloth will twist about and constantly stimulate the entire zone.

W-Spot

Across your man's chest there is a pleasure path that forms a W. Have him lie on his back, straddle his waist and put a fingertip on the upper outer comer of one of his pecs. Draw your finger down the edge of one pec, across the bottom, and up the other side (along the centre of his ribcage). Then run it back down, under his other pec, and up the opposite edge. The skin here is thinner than on the rest of his chest, and extremely sensitive.

Start with a firm touch, using lube if you like, then trace the W more softly, or with your tongue. The more gently you graze his skin, the more you'll arouse the nerves. Alternate between gliding back and forth along his W-spot and pinching his nipples. Clip slightly harder each time to bring extra blood into them and amplify the feeling.

F-Spot

On the underside of the penis, just below the head, is a tiny line with huge pleasure potential: the frenulum. While many women touch the F-spot during sex, most don't know the best way to stimulate it. This band of tissue has more nerve fibers than any other body part does. To bring him ultimate pleasure, it needs constant attention.

During oral sex, bring your hand into play. Kneel slightly to his side so that, when you hold his penis, your fingers are against the underside. Move your hand up and down in tandem with your mouth, making sure to reach up to the tip of his penis so you graze the F-spot each time.

During intercourse, get into a position that allows him to thrust, such as doggy style or the missionary position. He can angle his body so his frenulum gets maximum friction. Clench your pelvic-floor muscles when he thrusts to create satisfying resistance.

X-Spot

Find this lust locale by having your guy lie face down with his legs together. The crack between his buttocks, the creases where each butt cheek meets the back of his thighs, and the creases of his inner thighs form an X. His X-spot is arousing because it runs by his anus, perineum, and testicles without touching them directly.

Massage his back, moving your hands lower and lower as you knead. Once you reach his butt, press a fingertip into the outer crease of each cheek (where it attaches to his thigh), and slowly drag your fingers in towards each other. When they meet in the middle, glide one finger up over the crack of his bum while simultaneously drawing the other down between his thighs. Repeat, zigzagging your fingers as you stroke. To top it off, swirl your tongue around the most sizzling point: the centre of his X-spot, where the two lines cross.

R-Spot

The family jewels are generally very sensitive but there's one particular spot that can send more thrills up his spine when touched than any other. The raphe is the thin seam that runs dead centre along the underside of his scrotum from top to bottom. It's full of tingly nerve endings. Take note, though: some men really enjoy having their R-spot stimulated but others feel it's too intense so experiment with touching it briefly every 20 to 30 seconds as you stroke his penis during foreplay. If he flinches or goes quiet he's probably not loving it. If he is into it, place your tongue at the back of his scrotum, where it attaches to his body, and slide it along the raphe. Continue tracing your tongue over the top of his scrotum, then up the underside of his penis until you get to the head. You can also give him a rush while having cowgirl or doggy-style sex by reaching back and lightly scratching his R-spot with one finger using a 'come hither' motion.

O-Spot

According to Tantric-sex experts, rubbing a man's tail bone awakens his kundalini, or sexual energy. The O-shaped knob at the base of his spine is rife with nerves that connect to his penis, and stroking here can power up his libido. With him lying face down, place two fingertips from each hand on his O-spot, and move them in small circles. Now kiss or lick up his spine while lightly spiraling your fingers over the area. To deepen the sensation, switch to using your fingernails. When you're done, you'll see his spine isn't the only part of his body that's hard and straight.
