"You know the usual places that turn your husband on, but when it comes to the most erogenous zones of his body, are you hitting the right places? We spoke to the experts to hear about the surprising male pleasure spots you might be missing.  1. Feet          Get him to take his socks off, grab the lotion and get rubbing. &amp;quot;Men love foot massages,&amp;quot; says Ian Kerner, PhD, a New York City sex expert and the author of many books, including She Comes First. Additionally, according to the ancient practice of reflexology, the heels of the feet are believed to be pressure points that can trigger sexual arousal. Want to up the ante? Dr. Kerner suggests brushing his feet against your mouth or breasts, which can really get him excited. Photo: Thinkstock 2. Ears          &amp;quot;Many men love when their ears are touched,&amp;quot; says Amy Levine, a New York City\u2013based sex coach, certified sexuality educator and founder of IgniteYourPleasure.com. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s often a forgotten area that can soothe or excite him.&amp;quot; Just place your thumb and index finger on the spot where his ear lobe connects to the tissue near his face, she says. &amp;quot;Then, gently pull down and let your fingers slide off so you can start again.&amp;quot; Photo: Thinkstock 3. The Back of the Knees          It&amp;#039;s a tickle spot, yes, but in the heat of the moment, the back of the knees can also be a pleasure spot. &amp;quot;The skin is smoother at the back of knee, and many men love to be kissed or caressed there,&amp;quot; says Dr. Kerner, who notes that areas like this, where there is less hair, are often more sensitive and exciting for men. Plus, he adds, even gentle touch can lead to fireworks. &amp;quot;Orgasm is buildup and release of sexual tension, so the more tension you build up, the greater the release,&amp;quot; he explains. To amp up his anticipation, lightly touch the back of the knees with your fingertips in a circular motion, being sure to keep your touch firm. Photo: Thinkstock 4. Lower Abs          Start at his belly button and work your hands south, suggests Dr. Kerner. &amp;quot;The area of the abdomen between the navel and pelvis is a fun area to tantalize, and as blood flows to the pelvis and sexual tension gathers, it&amp;#039;s a good area to simulate,&amp;quot; he says, adding that &amp;quot;by going from genitals to other areas and then back again you will develop sexual tension throughout the body.&amp;quot; Photo: iStockphoto 5. Inner Thighs          Think of his inner thighs as the &amp;quot;gift wrapping to his package,&amp;quot; recommends Levine, who says that light touching in this zone can get him in the mood\u2014fast. Here&amp;#039;s how: &amp;quot;Slowly move your fingertips up and down his inner thighs,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;Then, tease him by following the outline of the crevice of his thigh, sensuously moving your index and middle finger up and down this hot spot for a few strokes before pressing the palm of your hand on the top of his thigh to start again with your fingertips.&amp;quot; Photo: Thinkstock 6. The Mind           Whisper something sexy in his ear, says Barbara Bartlik, MD, a New York City\u2013based sex therapist. The mind is a powerful erogenous zone for men, she says. &amp;quot;Very recent, innovative research suggests that a heightened state of arousal in the generalized central nervous system (the brain) facilitates sexual arousal.&amp;quot; When his mind begins to get excited, his body follows suit.

When his eyes are closed, you&amp;#039;re in control, which is an experience a lot of men enjoy, he explains. &amp;quot;If a move or touch is in the context of a dominant woman it can be a totally different\u2014and pleasurable\u2014experience for a man.&amp;quot; Try lightly running your fingers around his eyes and eye sockets, then kissing the area lightly, while he lies with his eyes closed, recommends Levine.

Nape of the Neck          Using a feather, your fingers or any gentle touch on his neck and collarbone area can increase his arousal, says Dr. Kerner, who advises mixing things up. &amp;quot;Think about stimulating two areas at once,&amp;quot; he says. For example, rubbing his neck lightly or nibbling on an earlobe while also running your hands southward. &amp;quot;Think creatively about combination.&amp;quot; Photo: Thinkstock 9. Forehead          His forehead may not seem like a sexy spot, but try to &amp;quot;think of the male body as a totally erogenous landscape,&amp;quot; says Dr. Kerner. After all, the head and scalp are covered with nerve endings, and lightly massaging from his hairline to his forehead can trigger feel-good hormones like dopamine and serotonin that may just get him in the mood.
