Erogenous zones - those "invisible" areas in the human body, irritation of which causes sexual arousal. In men and women, these areas are located in different places, furthermore, in different individuals, these areas can be expressed more or less.

Erogenous zones referred to areas on the human body, which leads to stimulation of sexual arousal or orgasm. Erogenous zones has long interested scientists because they have the ability to cause paradoxical reactions: for example, certain types of stimulation of the neck or mouth causing excitement, even though these parts of the body not directly related to the genitals. It is not known why this happens, but according to one of the most common and plausible theories, it may be due to the location of the site receiving information from various parts of the body, postcentral gyrus - a region of the brain associated with the superficial and deep sensitivity.

It is known that portions of receiving information from certain regions of the upper part of the body (e.g., neck, ears, and so on) are adjacent to the portions that are associated with feeding, and the area associated with some parts of the lower body, are in close proximity to the sites, in which the information on the genitals. It is assumed that the activation of parts of the body, whose fields are close to the genitals to cause partial activation of the genitals themselves and as a consequence, sexual arousal. Some experts dispute this theory, but no one argues with the fact that the stimulation of erogenous zones cause certain reactions in the human brain.
