The labia and mons pubis can experience pleasure with some pressure and stimulation, according to Finn.

Likewise, if your partner has a penis, “You don’t have to go right for the penis, you can also fondle or lick the perineum, balls, and inner thigh,” says Finn. (See More: 8 Male Erogenous Zones You’re Probably Ignoring During Sex).
