Key Sexual Organs for Both Men and WomenThe brain The skin
The breastsFor both women and men, the breasts may provide sexual pleasure. In both sexes, the nipples may be highly sensitive to stimulation. The main difference between female and male breasts is the amount of fatty tissue within the breast.

The
most important sexual organ is the brain. The brain controls all of our
sexual responses, releases sex hormones, and gives us the ability to create
sexual fantasies. In our minds, we can recall or create sexual experiences
that may generate erotically stimulating sensations in our bodies. Fantasy
can allow us to experience thoughts and feelings that we may not want
to or be able to live out in reality and can provide safe sexual fulfillment.
The largest sexual organ is
the skin. The skin is woven with an intricate system of nerves that are
responsive to changes in temperature, touch, and texture. High concentrations
of nerves in the skin of particular body areas make these areas very sensitive
and responsive to stimulation, thus causing sexual arousal and pleasure.
These areas are called erogenous zones. Erogenous zones
are unique to each individual—any part of the body can be erogenous.
Common areas identified as erogenous zones include the neck, earlobes,
mouth, lips, nipples, genitalia, buttocks, inner thighs, anus, backs of
knees, fingers, and toes.
For
women, the breasts provide optimal nourishment for infants. Also for women,
the glandular composition of the breast is very sensitive to hormonal
changes in the body consistent with the menstrual cycle. Consequently,
a woman’s breasts may vary in sensitivity or tenderness from one
part of the month to another, or from one cycle to another.
