Sexy Pressure Points: Pressure Points on the Body

After a long week – or even just a long day – sometimes your partner needs the kind of stress relief that only you can provide. Truth be told, you may not realize the full tension-busting potential you can offer each other as a couple when you massage each other. For a more intimate connection, use something from the K-Y collection to magnify every touch, caress, and stroke.

Pressure Point Massage

You can both say goodbye to daily frustrations you by saying hello to the art of acupressure, a method by which pressure points are stimulated to elicit therapeutic effects. In this helpful guide, you will learn some of the most sensual acupressure points on the human body.

The snake and heel area

There's apparently more to the idiom "feet first" than you might think. Each foot contains more than 7,000 nerve endings that correspond to every organ and system in the body. As such, the feet are full of pressure points that trigger powerful ripples of pleasure.

The Snake & Heel area is located in the hollows under the anklebones on either side. Rubbing these hollows stimulates the sex organs in both men and women – and may lead to better orgasms, notes Michelle Ebbins, author and renowned expert in acupressure, massage, and touch therapy.

Gate of origin

In the span of space between the belly button and the pelvic bone, there is a highly sensitive region known by acupressure experts as the Gate of Origin. On your man, you might refer to this area as the "happy trail."

This strip of skin is on the same channel as his perineum, a major erogenous zone. He doesn't get to have all the fun, though. This area is also highly sensitive for women. It opens sensual energy for both sexes. To stimulate, press very gently at about three to four fingers below the navel.

Rushing door and mansion cottage

Did you know the bend where your leg joins the trunk of your body has a name? In fact, it has two – Rushing Door and Mansion Cottage.

You can rub these linear points located in the pelvic area to free the flow of energy being blocked by pent-up frustrations. Tread lightly at first, in case your partner may be ticklish.

Sea of vitality

If you walk your fingers up from the base of the spine to around mid-back or elbow level, there – approximately 2 inches from the spine on either side – exist points collectively dubbed the Sea of Vitality.

By applying firm pressure with the back of your hands for one to two minutes, you'll engage hot spots. Plus, who doesn't love a good back massage? Your partner will adore you for spending time at this sexy pressure point, and vice versa.
