For a little patch of skin, the perineum can offer massive pleasure. It has a lot of nerve endings too, making it highly sensitive to touch (especially when aroused) and earning a spot on the list of erogenous zones. No matter what your gender is, all bodies have this and anyone can experience the wonders of the perineum!

The perineum is located between the external genitalia and the anus, regardless of what your sex is. For women, it’s the area between the anus and vaginal opening, while men have it between the anus and scrotum. People often overlook the perineum, but it can seriously enhance sexual arousal.

How to maximize its hidden powers

If it’s your first time to do some perineum play, light touching is a great way to get acquainted. You can also try it on yourself first before giving your partner a perineum massage.

Stroking, rubbing in circular motions, licking, gently pressing with your knuckles, or even stimulating the perineum with a vibrator are some of the ways on how you can let your partner feel the hidden powers of the perineum! You can incorporate perineum play in vaginal, anal, or oral sex, fingering, or handjobs. Play around with pressure and rhythm to see what gives your partner lots of pleasure (or maybe even an orgasm) — oh, and don’t forget to use lube! The versatility of water-based lube, such as EZ Lubricating Jelly, let’s you jump from or to perineum stimulation with ease and maximum sensation.

Just like any other sexual act, not everyone wants to have their perineum touched. Before trying anything new on your partner, ask them first whether they’re down to do it. If they’re unsure, give them some time to think about it first.
