The Kind of Foreplay Men Craves

Follow these, six male-body bliss-out moves that'll let your man savor every before-sex sensation.

There's a persistent myth floating around that men don't dig presex play, that all they really crave is a grope here and a nibble there and, bam, they're prepped for action. Not true.

Not one bit true. The mix-up lies in the fact that guys simply desire a different type of foreplay than women do — moves that take into account the way guys' brains work and erogenous zones specific to a dude's body. Here, we detail six man-pleasing moves that will slowly bring his lust to a boil.

 

Really Seeing You Naked

 

Even if you've stripped down with your guy before, there's a good chance that he's never feasted his eyes on your completely bare bod for more than a few seconds. Maybe it's because you undress quickly in a passion frenzy or your bodies are too close for him to really take you in. But it's a surefire libido trigger.

 

When a man sees a sexy image, his testosterone levels rise, spiking his sex drive, The longer you let his eyes linger, the more aroused he'll be. Plus, you'll feel sex-kittenish knowing he's so mesmerized by your form.

 

While he's on the bed, peel off your clothes slowly. Keep the lights on and tell him he can look but not touch. Swivel around and let him view you from different angles, then lean into him for a few close-ups. To draw his gaze to a certain body region, brush your fingers over it or cup it in your hands. Or keep the area covered for a bit — by wearing a lacy bra or boy shorts. When you finally remove that last item, he'll feel like he's seeing something taboo, which is a turn-on in itself.

 

Hearing How Excited He Gets You

 

Before any touching has taken place, lie close to your man and whisper how hot he's made you. Most men aren't used to softer, sensual talk, but it creates so much anticipation.

 

Don't be afraid to be explicit — for example, tell him how tingly you are down below. Once he's under your spell, graze your fingers precariously close to his private parts. By physically hinting at the action to come, his desire will be on fire.

 

Having Two Body Parts Pleasured at Once

 

After planting your lips lightly against his, coax his tongue gently into your mouth. Gradually make your kiss more urgent by licking and then sucking the tip of his tongue, this suggests a primal kind of passion guys love.

 

While you're thrilling him with your mouth, slowly move one hand down to his groin and make a loose fist around his shaft. As he gets harder, build up to coarser, tighter motions, the duet of sensations above and below the belt will be ultrapleasurable.

 

Getting His Cut Lines Licked

 

Lots of men love it when a woman teases the sensitive areas we call cut lines — the creases that separate a guy's thighs from his torso. But most chicks don't realize what intense erogenous zones they are.

 

The ultimate take-him-prisoner move: While he's on his back, scoot down so you can nibble and lick along one line, then the other. Soft touches like these warm up the skin and awaken the nerves, so you get him ready for more direct stimulation later. Boost his bliss even further by gliding your tongue along each crease while his knees are bent and his legs are spread slightly. This position will make him feel more vulnerable, magnifying every sensation your mouth makes.

 

69...but Sideways

 

You already know that standard 69 — you lying on top of your man while pleasing each other orally — is smoking hot. What you may not be aware of is that it can be difficult for a guy to position himself at an angle that feels awesome for you but doesn't result in muscle strains for him.

 

So try this 69 spin: You and your dude lie on your sides, your face by his pelvis and vice versa, each of you bending one knee so you form a trianglelike frame around your private parts. This gives him better access to your V zone, so he can pleasure you for a longer period of time as well as see your facial expression and watch how blissed out you are.

 

A Just-the-Tip Tease

 

This frisky finale demonstrates that foreplay doesn't end just because intercourse begins. Start by giving him the go-ahead to penetrate you slowly. Once the tip of his manhood is inside your vagina, squeeze your PC muscles — the same ones you clamp down to stop your urine flow — to prevent him from going any further.

 

By pressing down, you surround the most nerve-packed part of his penis with warm, wet pressure — which is torturously arousing for him. Continually flex and release your grip in a steady rhythm. Each pulse will bring him closer to climax but not close enough for him to go over the edge. This holding pattern will drive him crazy with lust.

New Methods in Foreplay

We have uncovered some surprisingly sensitive parts of the body; touching them will get you both insanely turned on.

Chances are, you and your guy have a few go-to moves that are guaranteed to get you both hot and primed for action. And while it's great that you know what works on your bodies, sticking to the same old thing (an ear nibble here, a nipple lick there) won't lead to a bed-shaking finale. When you touch each other in a familiar way every time, your body becomes desensitized, and it won’t feel as arousing. So, on the hunt for new tricks, we consulted top foreplay experts and discovered uncharted erogenous zones so packed with powerful nerve endings, just touching them takes you from 0 to, um, 69. Read on to find out where they are and how you can electrify them tonight.

SWEET SPOT 1
The Ultrasensitive Border Around the Lips

Okay, so you know how to kiss. But what you probably don't know is that there's an undercover pleasure transmitter, the buccal nerve, surrounding the edges of the mouth. This area is extremely sensitive to touch, but it's often overlooked since most people focus on the plump part of the lips, if you try lightly tracing the tip of your finger around the edges of your mouth (like you’re putting on lip liner), you'll experience a tingly, almost ticklish feeling.When you're making out, you don't need to lick around his entire mouth to get the benefits — that would be weird. Instead, kiss him as you normally do, then use the tip of your tongue to trace the edge of his upper lip lightly. Pull back and playfully kiss him again, then trace the border of his bottom lip. This action subconsciously reminds him of your tongue swirling around the tip of his penis. This technique works when he does it to you too, triggering thoughts of what his tongue can do below the belt.

SWEET SPOT 2
That Sexy Dip Where Neck Meets Chest

The entire area between your jawline and shoulders is an erogenous zone, but there's one particular destination that'll spark more goose bumps than any other part. It's that little indentation where the neck connects with the collarbone. The skin is thinner there, and there's not as much fatty tissue underneath, so the sensations are stronger. In other words, touching this area feels damn good. So as you kiss down his neck, trail the tips of your index and middle fingers from one shoulder to the dip in the center, lingering to swirl your fingers in a slow, circular motion. Then move your mouth over the spot and kiss it, using your breath to warm the area.The combination of the heat and touch relaxes the body, turning you on, plus, when your guy touches you here, your entire chest becomes more sensitive, including your breasts, which increases your pleasure.

 SWEET SPOT 3
The Erotic Pathways on the Sides of the Torso

Snaking from the bottom of the rib cage to the hips is a powerful nerve that, when stimulated, connects directly to your clitoris and your man's penis. When you touch this area, it reflexively causes the pelvic-floor muscles to contract in both men and women, which increases arousal. You'll want to use a firmer touch here, since it's more ticklish than other spots. Start on one side, just underneath the rib cage, and either stroke the area with your hand or alternate between kissing (apply more pressure than usual with your lips) and lightly nibbling your way down to the hipbone. On a guy, you'll actually see his testicles and penis contracting, and you'll feel the contractions in your vaginal wall and clitoral area as he does the same move on you. The benefits here are twofold: Not only does it feel insanely good in the moment, but those pelvic contractions also create a buildup to one hell of an orgasm.

SWEET SPOT 4
That Pleasure Mound on the Lower Back

The knob at the base of the spine is rife with nerves with major pleasure potential. To take advantage, give each other a sexy rubdown.Start at the shoulder blades, and work your hands down in a kneading motion. At the lower back, switch to a softer touch, and lightly spiral your fingers over the base. This area is so receptive, just the softest touch will send chills throughout the body. Other sexy ideas: Lightly graze your cheek against the area — the unexpected skin on skin sparks an increase in the excitement hormone dopamine. Then softly kiss and trace your tongue along the same spot (just make sure he's shaved before he tries this on you). You can also brush the tips of your hair against the skin and then switch to raking your fingernails gently across it to deepen the sensation.

SWEET SPOT 5
The Teasing Trail on the Thighs

One of the most explosive nerves in the body is located at the top of the inner thigh, it's called the ilioinguinal nerve, and it's incredibly sensitive to touch. In fact, it's best to save it for last and work your way up to it. Start by licking your finger (the wetness increases the stimulation) and slowly drawing it from the mid–inner thigh to the top. Then follow the path you just traced with your tongue, teasing your way to the upper region. Because the skin here is tender, it's important to watch how he reacts. If he flinches, you're exciting the nerve to the point where it feels too ticklish. The fix: Give the area firmer kisses (it'll work on you too). As your guy touches you here, you'll notice your breath becoming more rapid and your pelvis starting to spasm in that must-have-you-now way. The reason: Caressing this area indirectly stimulates the genitals, since the nerves around it are firing pleasure signals to the brain. Now is the time to put your guy's hand exactly where you're craving it… and enjoy the ride.
