My nipples and anus are both very sensitive, but I don't play with my anus much because I still feel that it's "dirty." I'm working on it, because I want to feel comfortable with it. I play with my nipples sometimes during masturbation. If I'm in a private area at work, I sometimes lightly brush a finger back and forth across one of my nipples through my shirt. After minute or two of this, my nipple is erect and my whole chest feels great. This lets me feel some sensual pleasure at work without actually playing with my penis, which is, after all, illegal to do in public and would be awfully embarrassing if I were to be caught (especially at work). At least I can convert the nipple stroke into a scratch if someone sees me.

This Week's Wackiest Response:
Does that plate inside your head count as a part of your body?

My right nipple and the area just behind my scrotum, between it and my butt, are sensitive. When I'm close to orgasm, the entire area between my navel and crotch turn on. I usually switch among all of those areas while I masturbate to work up to an intense orgasm. You didn't ask, but the most amazing feeling was to have someone work my right nipple with their mouth while they're playing with the area behind my scrotum and I masturbate with one hand and rub my lower abdomen with the other. WOOF!

I like the sensation of lightly running my fingers up and down from my neck to my pubic hair. When I am masturbating, I often do this with my free hand, and it brings me sensations that improve my orgasm. I love to do this whenever my parents are at work. Once when my friend slept over, I asked him to drag his fingers up and down my chest and stomach. He didn't stop for a while and then asked why I had an erection! I loved it.

Other than my genitals, I like that part between my scrotum and my butt crack.

Like many people, my nipples are quite erotically sensitive. I never involved them in masturbating until my girlfriend and I started fooling around with nipple play. Now, not only do we do it almost every time we have sex, she often initiates it. As I lie in bed at night (I sleep with no shirt on), I often pinch my nipples a little; before I know it, I'm masturbating.

For as long as I can remember, the point where my neck meets my shoulders has always induced orgasmic feelings. Given the right guy and the right moment, the two of us could slip from massage into a mutual masturbation session. However, this makes it difficult to have a massage without also having an orgasm – which is sometimes hard to explain to the masseur!

I've found that my armpits are one of my most sensitive parts. I glide my fingers over them, tug on the patches of hair, and occasionally lick at the sides of them. I always do this before I get a hard-on, because it gets me raging down there. I try to play with my armpits as much as possible as I masturbate, but my penis usually takes center stage.
- age 18, South Dakota
The part of my body that is most sensitive is my lower abdomen. If I push softly on my abdomen as I masturbate, my orgasm is more intense.
- age 14, Colorado
My nipples, armpits, and butt are quite erotically sensitive whenever I gently graze them with my fingertips. I like to pinch them and roll my nipples between my thumb and index finger.
- age 16, Michigan
It may sound corny, but my lips are sensitive. As I masturbate, I love to pretend that I'm kissing a girl all over her body, using my pillow as a substitute.
- age 12, Minnesota
My feet and the insides of my thighs are very sensitive to touch. I have some friends with whom I mutually masturbate, and we often give each other foot massages and body massages as a prelude to masturbation, or while one of us is masturbating another. Usually, we take turns being masturbated by two or three others at the same time. That is a *lot* of fun, because there are hands all over you, all at once. If someone is giving me a foot massage while someone else is masturbating me, it drives me wild!

My inner thighs are very sensitive to pressure during masturbation. I roll up a small towel and place it between my thighs. If I squeeze my thighs tightly on the towel, I get close to orgasm very quickly. By removing the pressure from the towel, I can delay orgasm, even if I have passed the "point of no return." Sometimes I can have 5 or 6 mini-orgasms using this technique.

I really enjoy it when my boyfriend kisses, licks, or sucks my neck as he fingers me. It's a very strange, but at the same time "tingly" feeling. There's nothing quite like it.
- age 16, California (female)
I like to rub my chest hair. Now that I have graduated, I usually masturbate in the shower before I go to school or work. I often get the initial hard-on from the chest rubbing, along with a few sensual thoughts to get things started. After that, it's just the "forehand grip" and genital pleasuring.

This seems kind of weird, but once when my friend and I were masturbating together, he touched the bottoms of my feet and I liked it very much.
- age 15, Canada
Definitely my butt; I love to touch it and caress it. I enjoy masturbating in front of a full-length mirror – not to see my genitals, but to turn around to see my butt muscles flex as I masturbate. The second most sensitive area is my feet. I like to rub them with baby oil and massage them as I masturbate with baby oil.
- age 18, Kentucky
My breasts and nipples are most sensitive. I pay especially close attention to my nipples, starting with caressing, fondling, and tweaking. This gets me going; a few minutes of that, and then it's time to work my hands on down southward.

My nipples get sensitive when I masturbate. Sometimes they get me very excited and I nearly ejaculate. If I didn't have a penis, I'd probably play with my nipples every day. I rub my nipples only when I get quite horny. Sometimes, if I wear a mesh T-shirt, it rubs my nipples and makes me erect. Then I have to hide my erection by holding something like a book in front of me, especially when I chill with my friends and this happens.

I like a lubricated finger in my anus while I masturbate with my other hand.
- age 65, Ohio
My hair – I just love to pull my fingers in and out of my hair. My boyfriend loves this, too. While he is lying on the bed, I run my hair down all the way to his genitals. It turns us both on!

My nipples are the most erotically sensitive parts of my body, particularly my left nipple. But my anus is also sensitive. I always involve my nipples during masturbation. I like to rub them gently with the tips of my fingers, just brushing them with almost no pressure at the start; then I slowly get rougher with them as I approach orgasm. By that time I dig my nails into them, squeeze them hard, or really tug on them. Less often, I play with my anus – usually I start by rubbing around the anal ring and then inserting two or three fingers. Recently I bought a dildo, and occasionally I use this in my anus before I begin to masturbate my penis. To have the dildo in my anus and be squeezing my nipples hard when I ejaculate is heaven.

I have a spot right at the top of my butt crack, about where my tailbone is. If I scratch it, I feel it in my penis and balls. I get an erection whenever someone scratches there – or, if I do so. When I do that as I masturbate, it adds to the pleasure. I have friends who know about that, too, and they do take advantage of it.
- age 17, Texas
I think my ears are the most sensitive. You gotta love it when girls play with your ears.
- age 15, Pennsylvania
My collarbone is extremely erogenous. Unlike other spots commonly used for early foreplay in sex (such as neck or earlobes), my collarbone is something I love to stroke by myself. I like to caress it lightly until my breasts start tingling for want of touch, and then things progress from there.
- age 20, Tennessee (female)
I like to involve my nipples in masturbation. I rub them, lick them, stroke them – everything. Sometimes I rub my genitals with my left hand and my nipples with my right. Surprisingly, my orgasms become much better and longer, but that's just me.
- age 12, Argentina
I've noticed that the area between my navel and my penis is very sensitive to pressure. By pressing there with one hand and slowly rubbing downward, I can greatly increase the quality of my orgasms.
- age 20, Texas
My neck and my collarbone are extremely sensitive when I have an orgasm. Only occasionally do I involve this, though, because it starts to get old after a while. Then I need to find a new spot to focus on.
- age 15, Washington (female)
I like to lick my fingers while I finger myself. It turns me on like crazy.
- age 14, North Carolina (female)
I have a highly sensitive spot in the middle of my back at my waist. When I was younger, I could achieve a massive erection and orgasm just by having someone touch this spot and massage it lightly. Wearing a jockstrap stimulates this spot, so I frequently wear athletic supporters as my underwear of choice.
- age 48, Illinois
I like to run my finger in a circular motion around my belly button. This sometimes gives an electric sensation that is very pleasurable.
- age 16, United Kingdom
I've discovered that I like to tickle my anus when I masturbate. Sometimes when I'm quite horny, I get some lube on my pinkie and slide it in and out of there as I finger my clitoris.
- age 15, Oklahoma (female)
My nipples are extremely sensitive – I've been able to achieve orgasm just by pulling on my nipples. Also, about one inch up inside my rectum is quite sensitive.
- age 41, California
My testicles – I like to tug on them before I ejaculate. It makes the orgasm that much more intense.
- age 15, Florida
My neck and the back of my head are the most sensitive. When my girlfriend and I are making out, she always rubs my neck, and it is the biggest turn-on. Sometimes when I'm masturbating, I put my hand on the back of my neck.
- age 18, New Jersey
Having discovered masturbation, ejaculation, and orgasm only two days ago, I can only think about one part of my body now. I'm sure that other parts of my body will become sensitive as I get older, but presently, I don't care.
- age 12, Sweden
The bottoms of my feet – once, a puppy started licking the bottom of my foot, and I was surprised to feel a sensation in my penis with each lick. If I scratch the bottoms of my feet while I masturbate, it gives me a "fuller" orgasm.
- age 28, Canada
I once got my friend from school to massage my scalp while I rubbed my penis. Both of us were almost naked apart from our T-shirts, and the scalp massage made everything a lot nicer.

It would have to be my prostate – I love touching myself there. There are so many nerve endings there; it makes my orgasms just explosive.
- age 19, Canada
Whenever I lightly trace over my body with my fingertips, it really gets me going. It doesn't matter where – my thighs, stomach, breasts, neck – it all feels wonderful. I always do this before I masturbate, and in between orgasms. It sends shivers up and down my body every time.
