Are your erogenous zones during sexual relations (with a partner) more similar to your erogenous zones during masturbation or during erotic dreams?

Erogenous zones are parts of your body that are pleasurable/arousing to be stimulated.

During masturbation, breast stimulation does nothing for me, but it's pleasurable during my erotic dreams.

I was wondering if my experience during real-life sexual activity will be more similar to that which I experience during masturbation, or that which I experience during erotic dreams?

  • So, have you never actually had a physical, sexual experience with a partner?
    Some feelings might be more intense, with another person, than alone.
    Actually holding, cuddling a woman, while making love, and being inside her vagina is SO MUCH MORE AMAZING, than just getting off,
    Some women I have been with said that they never thought about their neck, and ears, as feeling EROTIC, but biting their ears, and kissing their necks, sometimes they shivered, and felt something like never before. Then I whisper naughty things, in their ears, just holding, and trying to stimulate all of her.

  • I love my ears licked and nibbles on. Gets me super hot. No way I can do that during masturbation. Love my neck licked and nibbled on too. For either of those I strongly doubt any thing I could to to stimulate them during masturbation would be enjoyable. Otherwise everything is the same. During sex it obviously feels way better and getting a hand job or my balls played with are way more enjoyable than doing it myself. In fact I don’t even play with my own balls when I masturbate.

  • Not to me. They are a bit different. Like stroking/caressing my thighs, for example, doesn't give me pleasure when I do it to myself but it does if my partner does it to me before giving me oral. With my nipples, I do enjoy stimulating them when I masturbate but it feels way better when my partner is the one doing it. It just adds more pleasure I'd say when my partner is the one stimulating those zones.

    • Is thigh stimulation pleasurable in your erotic dreams?

    • Yes it is. It just isn't when I try to do it myself though. I don't know why haha

    • Most of the ladies I have known, really love this, as part of foreplay, sometimes still wearing dresses, or skirts. It's the 'teasing' thing, maybe, a sensual caress, really close, but not actually touching sexually. Casual touching, strokes, and subtle, little things can be very arousing, in the right places...

  • A partner can touch, squeeze, kiss, lick, bite, and suck places you can't and not as exciting (such as I can suck my own nipples but don't get the same pleasure as when a man is doing it). So there are more erogenous zones in my erotic dreams and during actual partner sex. Masturbation I only need to stimulate one zone to accompolish the job.

  • Its the same physically but a lot of it is in your head. My nipples aren't that sensitive normally and I don't really touch my boobs at all during masturbation. But a while ago a guy I was really in to spent some time sucking my nipples and I have never gotten so horny in my life.

  • E, for me. They are the same.

  • The only erogenous zone I have is in the crotch. I honestly don't understand how people can have them anywhere else.

    • So you don't get turned on when someone kises or bites your lips, neck, tits, stomach, thighs, butt?

  • They are more intense because of the feeling skin on skin

  • Masturbation is a little less. During sex (penis in pussy) I love to give and receive hands caressing both butts. It gives me goosebumps.

  • Having sex is much more better for me

  • The erogenous zones stay the same, wether or not you use them for sex, masturbation, or dreams.

  • Mostly similar.

  • All the same. How bout you?

    • I haven't had sex so I don't know yet

    • I can respect that. ;)! It does explain the curiosity in you postz. Some of them get me hot and bothered. Haha!

  • I've had great blowjobs but not hand jobs because it's different. You know your own body better. Having said that I would take sex over masturbation any day.

  • exactly the same all the times.

  • Is it weird to say I’m jealous that women have more sensitive bodies?

    • Well men can generally orgasm more easily from stimulation of their genitals so it evens out

  • After watching that dreadful DC movie "Justice League", my tits have gone completely numb. They're basically there for show, only... (fucking, dumb-ass DC movies...)
