When it comes to foreplay, most focus on the major erogenous zones: lips, butt, breasts, and genitals. Well, we’re here to tell you to skip the nips and the booty and check out these five erogenous zones you’re missing out on:

1. The Scalp

Often thought of as a deadzone for all things sexy, the scalp boasts thousands of hair follices  — and that means lots of nerve endings. So treat your partner to more head massages, you may be surprised by how pleasurable you both find it…

2. Behind the Knees

According to Woman’s Day, the portion of skin behind the knee is one of the most overlooked sensual hotspots on the body. “The knees are a major erogenous zone — all around the kneecap,” said Ava Cadell, a sex educator and founder of Loveology University in Los Angeles. “This is one place where a little nibbling if often welcome, too.”

3. Inner Thighs

A woman’s inner thighs are filled with nerve endings, so it’s no surprise that they’re extremely receptive to touch!

4. Elbow

Ever stubbed your elbow on a table and reeled over in inexplicable amounts of pain? Then I don’t need to remind you about the sensitivity of this often overlooked body part. The underside of the elbow — the crease — can be stimulated through light feather strokes. Avoid tickling or overeager rubbing — a soft tough and light drag should do the trick.

5. Feet

Science may say that the feet aren’t an erogenous zone, but we beg to differ. Many women (and men!) take pleasure in giving and receiving a relaxing, seductive foot massage.
