The pleasure map to his chest: you may already know how to get a rise out of your man below the belt, but to make him really ache with desire, you have to aim higher. Our fold-out guide on how to touch, tease, and tantalize his torso will teach you to do just that.

NECK
To fire up your guy's desire, place your lips just below his Adam's apple and gently suck. Your mouth will be stimulating his thyroid gland, which, according to ancient Chinese medicine, closely corresponds to his package.

INNER UPPER ARM
This thin-skinned zone contains a lot of nerve endings and is completely hairless, so it's super-receptive to the lightest touch. To turn him on without venturing into ticklish territory, gently run your nails in long strokes up and down the front of the muscle.

NIPPLES
Believe it or not, men's head-lights can be as sensitive as yours, so don't scrimp on the nipple play. First, lightly brush them with the backs of your fingers. Then, softly run the palms of your hands over each one in a circular motion to create a warming sensation.

ALONG HIS SIDES
Beneath this soft run of skin are tension-filled muscles, so use a slightly firm touch to loosen them up. Place your hands on either his waist, fingers pointing up. Using light pressure, slide them up to his underarms and back down to his hips. Repeat

TREASURE TRAIL
For a tantalizing tease, slowly plant kisses along the line of hair leading from his navel downward. The soft fuzz of this pleasure path tickles the skin, creating a tingly sensation. At his package, pause, then head back up to amp his anticipation.

PEC MUSCLES
The line that defines the bottom part of his chest is a touch-worthy region because the skin is taut and thin, especially on a guy who does his push-ups. Stimulate this hot spot by running the tip of your tongue along the perimeter of each pec--from side to center.

LOWER ABS
The area above the pelvic bone contains a cluster of sensitive nerve endings and, because of its proximity to his package, provides psychological stimulus as well. Using a barely-there touch, trace across his lower tummy with your tongue. Finish up by blowing air along the same path.
