Exploring sexual pressure points can be an intimate, exciting journey of self-discovery. But it’s important to respect your body and communicate openly with your partner to ensure a safe exploration of new techniques.
The G-spot and prostate are homologous, meaning they come from the same tissue regardless of gender or body type, so this external pressure point works for everyone. It’s best rubbed or massaged during foreplay.
1. Spleen 6
Acupressure is a great option for those who want to try something a little less invasive than acupuncture. You can still achieve the same results – rebalancing your energy and stimulating arousal – without needles or other more serious methods.
Start on your feet with the Gongsun pressure point (also known as Bl-23 and Bl-52). Imagine a dimple on either side of your neck where the back of your head starts to curve inward. Gently massaging this area will send tingling signals to your sex organs, igniting arousal and serving as the perfect prelude to intimate moments.
Another powerful acupressure point for sexual arousal is Spleen 6, also called Gongsun or SP-4. Think of your foot as a map, and locate the point where your medial malleolous bone meets the rest of your ankle. Using the pinkie edge of your hand, lightly massage this point for 30-60 seconds each day.
Wei Zhong is another essential acupressure point for women who are looking to boost their libido. Located in the second sacral foramen on your lower spine, massaging this area will activate the nerve that innervates the genitals and stimulates arousal. This is also an important point for balancing hormones, making it a must-try for women who are premenopausal or postmenopausal.
2. Stomach 30
As a map of the body’s landscape, acupressure points offer many treasures. A few of them are specifically helpful for boosting female libido, including the acupoint known as Qi Chong and the Sea of Vitality point.
Qi Chong (pronounced “chee kung”) is the sweet spot at the base of your spine, two finger spaces below the belly button and above the hip hinge. This acupoint is considered the gateway to profound sexual pleasure. Its magic is derived from the fact that it lies near a major artery, which helps to increase blood flow to and around the genital area.
If you want to ramp up sex drive, massage this acupoint several minutes before sexual activity or make it part of foreplay. Be careful when you apply pressure because the area is sensitive.
Also found at the same location as Qi Chong is another sexy acupoint, Stomach 30. This acupoint is a little bit trickier to locate, but it’s worth the search. It’s found a couple of inches below the belly button, on either side of the spine. Stimulating this acupoint can significantly increase sex drive and lead to stronger orgasms. It’s also a good idea to apply this pressure point during a sensual back rub.
3. Kidney 7
The Kidney 7 or Fu Liu point is one of the most powerful acupressure points for female arousal. It is located 1.5 cun lateral to the lower border of the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebrae, on the quadratus lumborum muscle. This important point strengthens both yin and yang kidney energy. It promotes sexual arousal, enhances the function of the uterus and increases blood flow to the reproductive organs. It also relieves back pain, insomnia and emotional instability.
Acupuncturist Mai Sogawa explains how this pressure point, along with Spleen 12, is a perfect symbol of male (SP6) and female (KI7) energy. Located two finger-widths below the belly button, this powerhouse of an acupuncture point is said to enhance libido, reduce menstrual problems, treat urinary incontinence and address issues related to the kidneys.
Gently massaging this key point can also reduce fatigue, lower back pain and stimulate the immune system. However, if you are struggling to become aroused, it is important to understand that there could be underlying health conditions preventing this and a more substantial medical intervention might be needed.
4. Cheng Fu
Just two finger widths below your belly button is where you’ll find a little pleasure spot called the Sea of Vitality (or B 23). Massage this area with firm pressure and it can give you a libido boost. You can use the back of your hand or, even better, a pillow or pillowcase. It’s also an excellent place to target with a partner, especially if they’re ticklish.
About three to four fingers below the navel is a stretchy strip of skin with another sensual spot called Rushing Door, or Mansion Cottage. This is where the erogenous zones for both men and women meet, so stimulating it will open up sexual energy that can be arousing for both of you.
Acupuncture is another way to stimulate the sexy points for female arousal. In fact, a study found that women who received acupuncture for five weeks had higher levels of sexual desire than those who didn’t receive treatment. The study showed that the reason for this was that acupuncture helped to calm stress, which interferes with sexual arousal.
Another easy way to increase libido is by massaging the inner thigh areas. The inner thighs run up to the genitals, so increasing blood flow in this area can be arousing. Gently rubbing and stroking this area can increase arousal, but you can also lick, kiss and nibble on the inner thigh areas to heighten excitement and pleasure.
