Here's where touch matters most.

Want to connect with your man? Touch him where it matters most! However, it may not be the part of his body that you think. In fact, there are quite a few erogenous zones for men you probably never even thought of interacting with during foreplay.
Victoria Milan, a dating site for extramarital affairs, surveyed almost 6,000 of their male members (located in Australia, Belgium, South Africa, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Slovakia, France, Portugal, New Zealand, Argentina, Spain, Netherlands, Ireland, Greece, Austria, Italy, United Kingdom, and Czech Republic) to find out which body part was their most sensitive.
During the survey, the men were asked which of 10 body parts were their most sensitive to touch. Additionally, they were asked questions about how they liked these areas to be touched and whether or not they included these areas in their foreplay.
When it came to foreplay, 72 percent of men said that they liked when the woman took initiative. However, it mattered to them how the woman approached this. According to the survey, 66 percent of men said it was most important that the woman wasn’t disrespectful and didn’t take advantage of them (sounds about right).
Another 42 percent said that it was important that she touched them in a sexy matter, which for 30 percent of men meant that a woman was not aggressive when making moves. According to the survey, 28 percent of men get turned off by a woman trying too hard when touching them and 22 percent said it was important that she uses humor in the right way when touching them.
As for the top ten erogenous zones for men, here’s what the participants had to say:
- Chin
- Ears
- Genitals
- Inner Thighs
- Buttocks
- Neck
- Eyelids
- Feet
- Back of knees
- Lower abs
It may be surprising that chin beats genitals. But, according to the results, you may want to focus on your man’s chin during your next makeout session!
This list gives you a whole lot to work with when trying to turn on your man. When kissing, take some time and work your way to the ears. A little nibble on the lobe can really put your guy in the mood. Gently touching the ears while giving a scalp massage can be nice too. When it comes to the rest of the list, most areas can be addressed during a full-body massage. If you and your S.O. don't already give each other massages, it's not too late to start. This is a great way to connect.
Eyelids and the back of knees? You'll need to get a little creative with these. But kisses and gentle strokes should do the trick.
These results are important to keep in mind when it comes to foreplay, too. According to the survey, 79 percent of men said that they liked foreplay and thought it was important. So, next time you’re trying to seduce a man, you may want to focus on his ears and chin before moving further. And, if you tend to skip foreplay altogether, you may want to pick a body part from the list and ease back into it.
