11 places sure to make your man tingle

1) The melon: Why not start at the top? Run your fingers through his hair, massage his scalp and touch his face. Pamela Lister, sex and marriage writer for Redbook magazine, says that any kind of relaxing, sensual or even playful tease of this sort is called a bridge to desire. The more bridges, the better.

5) Back: You can please your man while he’s face down too. Lister says to alternate your nails and fingertips in long strokes, little circles and teasing skips to keep him guessing where you’ll alight next.

6) Teets: Suck on them for a bit, then blow lightly to really turn your guy on. Changing the moisture from wet to dry will send shockwaves through his body. Amy Levine, sex expert, says that nipples can be carnal command centers. Because they are sometimes neglected, they might be supersensitive so Levine suggests you start out gentle.
