Studying for finals and hitting the final apathy-laden stretch of my second last-semester-ever has caused me to spend more time than I should in front of the TV with my computer on my lap. Not only have I been enjoying lots of bad made-for-TV movies (Holiday in Handcuffs, anyone?), but I’ve also been obsessively watching Friends re-runs, as it just so happens to be one of my favorite shows ever.

After a suggestion from our lovely editor to do an article about erogenous zones, I just so happened to stumble upon the episode where Monica makes the diagram for Chandler and proceeds to mimic their effect on the female body. You know, the one with the “SEVEN! SEVEN! SEVEN!”

There are so many sensitive parts of the human body that people may neglect while they’re getting sexy. It’s just to easy to go for the big three – lips, nipples, genitals – and skip out on all the rest. So here it is, a comprehensive list of places you can fondle, lick, kiss, tickle, or scratch (in a sexy way) to help get your partner heated up.

Let’s start from the top:

Ears: For some, the ears are very sensitive and it can be a big turn-on to have a little bit of extra attention paid to them. Not to mention, when nibbling on one’s ear, you’re in the perfect position to whisper sweet nothings.

Neck: The sides of the neck and collar bones can be very sexual. There’s a reason this is where hickeys (often) end up. Pro tip: kiss the back of your partner’s neck while you’re spooning. It’s cute, but just sensual enough to be a little sexy.

Let’s face it. Not all of your boyfriends are going to be bronzed Adonis’s, chiseled-like statues and ripe to become Calvin’s next boxer-brief model.

Nope… just like you girls, every single guy carries a unique body, and among the variables that you’re apt to come across are the various amounts of body hair.

Of all of men’s body features, body hair is the one that seems to conjure up the most dissension among women. Some girls actually like body hair, think it denotes manliness, and enjoy playing with it when they are frolicking around with a guy. Some girls really couldn’t care less either way, which I admire.

But there are quite a few girls who think body hair is among the more disgusting features that a guy can have, and would rather die than get close with a guy who’s showing even the slightest bit of chest hair through his button down shirt.

However, despite the fact that some girls are OK with body hair, hair appearing on a guy’s back is almost universally reviled. And as a long time member of the incredibly exclusive Hairy Back Club (I’ll actually be announcing my candidacy to be its next president sometime in the near future), I don’t really get this massive aversion.

Sure, I guess it’s unsightly, but it’s not like it’s different hair than what’s on a guy’s chest, legs or arms. Moreover, as far as I can tell, there doesn’t seem to be some new movement that I’m unaware of which involves making out with a guy’s back, nor do our backs feature any major erogenous zones, so aesthetic reasons aside, there’s really no good explanation.
