Therefore, in addition to the genital areas, each person has other parts of the body that can act as true “generators” of sexual excitement. The elbow, the knee, the neck, the ears, the nape of the neck and the nipples are some examples. In addition to varying from one person to another, erogenous zones can also change throughout life. Therefore, it is not worth becoming hostage to a “map” with predetermined points, which limits your ability to explore your own body and, of course, the body of whoever is next to you in bed.
