Slow down: women want the lip-lock to last twice as long as you do, according to a Men's Health poll. Maximise your extended playtime by pinpointing her five pleasure points.
Her lipsThe move: target the philtrum, the central ridge of her upper lip and an area the ancient Greeks called the most erogenous zone on the body. Two major cranial nerves are close to the surface here, says Dr Cameron Clokie, an oral surgeon at Toronto's Mt Sinai Hospital. Gently nibble this pouty point to release oxytocin, the same hormone released during her orgasm, says Dr Helen Fisher, an anthropologist at New Jersey's Rutgers University.
Her jawThe move: a sortie around her heck and jawline amps up her pleasure. One twist: hum softly as you plant kisses along her jaw. You'll send a chorus of euphoric vibrations along the bone and into her inner ear. This audio-erotic move also stimulates the skin's Pacinian corpuscles, which release calming endorphins, says Dr Thomas Swift, President of the American Academy of Neurology.
Her tongueThe move: tongue helicopters are for schoolies. Help her leave the launch pad by teasing the nerve-dense tip of her tongue.
Nerves there release the arousal-inducing neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, according to Clokie. Vary your lingual caresses with light, lips-only clenches of her tongue tip.
Her neck
The move: massaging her hairline and nape, moving from her hair to her bare neck, doubles her pleasure. You're stroking the junction of two different tissue types, says Clokie. Working this border region sets off two separate sensations that meld into a single, mind-blowing message to her brain: more.
Her clavicle
The move: canoodling her collarbone is a classic move. But most guys focus on the outer regions and miss the passion-laced centre. The densest nerve region is where her clavicle connects to her sternum," says Swift. Slowly kiss your way to this nerve centre to produce a progressive passion build up.
