Erogenous zones
Also known as sensitive spotserogenous zonehot spots
Erogenous zones are areas of the body especially sensitive to touch — including many beyond the obvious ones, like the neck, ears, inner thighs, and lower back.
The gist
Erogenous zones are the parts of the body that respond pleasurably to touch. They extend well past the genitals — the neck, ears, scalp, inner arms, thighs, and lower back are common favorites — and they differ from person to person. Exploring them slowly is a rewarding part of foreplay and self-knowledge.

Sensory play
Sensory play is heightening intimacy by focusing on the senses — using texture, temperature, sound, or blocked sight to make touch feel more intense.
Sensual massage
Sensual massage is slow, attentive touch given to relax and connect — a gentle, low-pressure way to build intimacy that need not lead anywhere in particular.
