There are some surprising places on a man's body that can really get him going!

We all know at least one or two pretty obvious places on a guy's body that get him going in the bedroom (nips!), but what about some of those other unexpected places that are erogenous zones for men?
While everyone's bodies are different, and everyone has different quirks and kinks to discover (which is half the fun!) there are still some common erogenous zones that are always ready to be explored.
PRIDE spoke with Jack and Jill wellness expert Brian Sanderson, Fleshy's sex therapist and resident sexologist Suzannah Weiss, and Passionerad writer and licensed sexologist Sophie Roos to talk about these erogenous zones and how they can please and heighten your experience.
"An erogenous zone is any part of the body that produces sexual pleasure when touched," says Weiss. "This can be anywhere on the body and varies from person to person. Different erogenous zones can be great to stimulate during foreplay or to enhance sex itself."
Here are the 11 erogenous zones they told us about.
1. Scalp
There really is nothing better than getting your scalp massaged, and it just so happens to be one of the male erogenous zones, as well. If we're starting from the head down and working our way toward the center for all the action, playing around with his hair or giving him a scalp massage is a great way to get things going.
"Think head massages," says Sanderson. "A partner's fingers gently tugging at the hairline or massaging the scalp can be heavenly. If you want to up the sensation, try a shampoo scalp massager (those rubbery ones.)"
2. Neck
Anyone who’s ever been kissed on the nape of the neck already knows how good it feels. Add in a soft whisper, a gentle breath, or a smooth stroke, and this is one of the top spots that are sure to get him going.
"Many people enjoy kissing on the neck," agrees Weiss. "This can feel like a vulnerable spot and may be ticklish for some people, so ease in slowly with soft kisses and see how your partner responds."
3. Base of the spine
Right above the crack, this is a great place to simply put your hand and rub. Try it. You’ll see. Why? Because "this zone on the body contains a lot of nerves that can lead to a strong sexual stimulation," says Roos. "Especially during massage or if giving light pressure by using your fingertips, your tongue, or a feather!"
4. Bottom of the foot
While some may get ticklish, others will really enjoy a little teasing foot play.
Echoing Roos's suggestion of using a feather at the base of the spine, Sanderson also suggests doing the same for the bottom of the foot.
"Some folks find that ticklish, but others find it crazy erotic," he says. If that's not an option, he suggestions warm oils for foot rubs, but to "watch for sensitivity."
5. Fingers and hands

Just as with the bare feet and toes, fingers and hands can also be just as stimulating for both giver and receiver...especially if you know how to use them.
"The hands are one of the parts of the body with the most nerves," says Roos. "The nerve endings can lead to lots of sexual stimulation if being massaged!"
6. Sides of the chest
Next time, instead of diving in straight for the nipples, work the sides of the chest, along his ribs. It might just make him squirm!
"The nerve ends that go along the ribs are sensitive," says Roos. "Gentle pressure, kisses, strokes with your fingernails, or lickings with your tongue can give a surprisingly hot response!"
7. Nipples
Okay, we guess it couldn't be left off the list, although it doesn't seem very secret. After the sides of the chest, it makes sense to go straight for the most sensitive part (at least for most of us).
"Nerve endings are most concentrated around the nipples," says Weiss. "Start by gently grazing the nipples with your fingers. If you or your partner prefers more pressure, you can squeeze or massage them."
8. Inner thighs
Hold off on going for the main attraction and spend some time along the inside of the legs. It's super sexy because everyone involved knows what's coming up, but it delays the pleasure oh so sweetly.
"That anticipation is a real tease," says Sanderson. "Anything from soft strokes to a playful nibble can amp up arousal."
9. Ear lobe
A little finger stroking, a little cheek grazing, and maybe some sucking and kissing — the ear lobe is ready for a lot of attention during foreplay, so have at it!
"Some people actually are able to orgasm through stimulation of the ears, especially those with disabilities who may have other neurological pathways inhibited," says Weiss. "Kissing the ears can also be great foreplay."
10. Armpits
Some people may be super ticklish, others may think it's gross, but there's certainly a healthy number of guys who find pit play pleasurable.
"The armpits are an erogenous zone that's most pleasurable to stimulate if you have a fetish for them," says Roos. "Not only are they sensitive toward stimulation by licks or sniffs, they can also give much pleasure to the one stimulating, thanks to the order and taste--which for some gay men feels extremely intimate!"
11. Underside of the balls
It is to be noted, this is not the taint, but instead, the back and underside of the balls. There are plenty of guys who are plenty attentive to this area, but if you find yourself avoiding it, try to incorporate this wonderful "hidden" erogenous zone next time you're down there.
"Many men love their balls played with during oral or manual sex," says Weiss. "The underside of the balls is especially sensitive because it's near the perineum--the area between the genitals and anus--which can indirectly stimulate the prostate, the sensitive internal gland that can produce intense orgasms."
