Purpose: Erogenous zones may be genital or extragenital. Women have a greater variety of erogenous zones on the body compared with men. In the context of this article, it is important to examine this issue in conjunction with problems of sexual dysfunctions. Scientific research in the area of extragenital erogenous zones is scarce. Defining extrage...

... A particularly intriguing finding was that a considerable number of participants reported experiencing orgasm solely from tickling, without any involvement of genital stimulation, which stands out in the context of existing literature. Studies that documented orgasm triggered by extragenital stimulation (Komisaruk and Whipple, 2011;Younis et al., 2016), and studies on ejaculation (Levin, 2005) do not specifically mention tickling as a stimulation method. Similarly, research focusing on tickling and sexual behaviors (Gutheil, 1947;Verónica Juárez-Ramos et al., 2014) do not establish a direct link between tickling and orgasm. ...
Tickling is commonly perceived as juvenile play associated with laughter. However, its potential connection to adult sexual behavior has largely remained unexplored. Our online survey, primarily distributed among individuals interested in tickle fetishism, explored tickling and its association with sexual behavior. Ticklishness types, tools, preferred body parts, and partner preferences, were examined. Results revealed diverse patterns of ticklishness changes over time and distinct body-part preferences for different types of tickling. Childhood experiences and exposure to tickling content in television were found to shape individuals’ affinity for tickle fetishism. A quarter of respondents reported experiencing orgasms exclusively from tickling, while around 88% expressed sexual satisfaction through tickling alone, indicating its sufficiency as a sexual stimulus among fetishists. Tickling desire decreased after orgasm, indicating an association between tickling and sexual activity. Moreover, ticklishness degree predicted preferences for being tickled rather than tickling others. Exploratory factor analysis identified three factors underlying tickling and sexual experiences: enjoyment and frequency of tickling during sexual activity; preference for intense sexual experiences; age of becoming sexually active. In conclusion, this study provides unique insights into tickling and its connections to sexual context, enhancing our understanding of diverse human sexual behavior and tickle fetishism as a distinct preference.
... Sexual activity and overall sexual satisfaction can be negatively impacted by not understanding the significance of one's role. This statement is consistent with earlier study by Younis et al., (2016) (Table 3 No. 9), which found that sensitive regions that are stimulated during sexual activity (even during foreplay) reveal the level of quality of the sexual intercourse. 95.3% of women, according to the findings of the research. ...
In postmenopausal women, sexual function may worsen with increasing menopausal status. Dyspareunia is a common complaint that is experienced by women who have experienced menopause and this also causes a decrease in the quality of sexual intercourse in women who have experienced menopause. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between dyspareunia in menopausal women and the quality of sexual intercourse. This research method uses a literature review. Literature review means reviewing various types of literature, both national journals and international journals obtained from an academic database on Google Scholar, PubMed NCBI, and Science Direct from 2013 to 2023, without language restrictions, and full-text research journals with the keywords that related between “Dyspareunia”, “Quality of Sexual Intercourse”, and “Menopause Women”. Data were obtained from twenty-two research journals that met the inclusion criteria. Results showed that overall the article supports the effect of dyspareunia in postmenopausal women on the quality of sexual intercourse. All of the 22 articles show a relationship between dyspareunia in postmenopausal women and the quality of sexual intercourse. As a conclusion, dyspareunia experienced by postmenopausal can lead to a decrease in the quality of sexual intercourse in postmenopausal women. These findings may contribute to the development of a valid association of dyspareunia in menopausal women with the quality of sexual intercourse.
... However, during sexual interaction, human partners often mutually caress other body parts that have no anatomical links to the genitals. Several of these extra-genital erogenous zones are capable of eliciting sexual arousal when stimulated, sometimes even eliciting orgasm (Younis, Fattah, & Maamoun, 2016). These areas can encompass up to 26% of the body surface (Nummenmaa, Suvilehto, Glerean, Santtila, & Hietanen, 2016) and are reported as arousing in the large majority of individuals (Younis et al., 2016). ...

... To date, only a small number of studies (Nummenmaa et al., 2016;Turnbull, Lovett, Chaldecott, & Lucas, 2014) have systematically mapped the tactile erogenous zones of the body. Across these studies, several extra-genital body parts were reliably identified as capable of eliciting high levels of sexual arousal: these included the breasts, nipples, lips, neck and nape of neck, ears, buttocks, and inner thigh (Nummenmaa et al., 2016;Turnbull et al., 2014;Younis et al., 2016). The topographical distribution and intensity of erogenous zones are similar for men and women (Nummenmaa et al., 2016;Turnbull et al., 2014) and are relatively impervious to sociological, demographic, and cultural factors (Turnbull et al., 2014). ...
Erogenous zones of the body are sexually arousing when touched. Previous investigations of erogenous zones were restricted to the effects of touch on one’s own body. However, sexual interactions do not just involve being touched, but also involve touching a partner and mutually looking at each other’s bodies. We take a novel interpersonal approach to characterize the self-reported intensity and distribution of erogenous zones in two modalities: touch and vision. A large internet sample of 613 participants (407 women) completed a questionnaire, where they rated intensity of sexual arousal related to different body parts, both on one’s own body and on an imagined partner’s body in response to being touched but also being looked at. We report the presence of a multimodal erogenous mirror between sexual partners, as we observed clear correspondences in topographic distributions of self-reported arousal between individuals’ own bodies and their preferences for a partner’s body, as well as between those elicited by imagined touch and vision. The erogenous body is therefore organized and represented in an interpersonal and multisensory way.
... Sådana "extragenitala" zoner är för kvinnor är i fallande ordning bröst, läppar, nacke, öron, lårens insida och stjärt. 12% av de kvinnliga deltagarna i en studie fick orgasm enbart genom beröring/bearbetning av de extragenitala zonerna (Younis et al 2016). En slutsats i den rapporten var att förspel är extremt viktigt för kvinnor, vilket ju är en allmänt känd kunskap sedan tidigare. ...
... Männens hårdare hud, jämfört med kvinnors mjukare hud, talar också för att det är så. Kvinnors icke-genitala erogena zoner tycks således finnas nästan över hela kroppen, från örsnibbarna till tåspetsarna (Younis et al. 2016). Män däremot har en mer tydligt lokaliserad känslighet till sina penisar, även om de också har mindre tydliga ickegenitala erogena zoner på motsvarande ställen som kvinnorna har. ...
Everyone, but especially those who work in healthcare or who influences it, needs to be made aware of the consequences of a number of new trends that have to do with sexology as well as the results of recent medical research that is in some way related to sexology. Therefore, this book is mainly about new important knowledge that has been generated in research and outside research from 2015 to August 2020.Above all, research on women's sexual anatomy and physiology has provided significant new and important knowledge of women's sexuality from having previously much been neglected in research and has it in general been mystified and even been taboo ever since the days of Freud. The book is in Swedish and has, at the end of the book 513 references divided into 185 scientific articles and books and 328 non-fiction and other sources. Approximately 60% of the referenced publications in the book are published from 2018 to July 2020. Approximately 15% are from the period 2015 to 2017. Approximately 11% are from the period 2010 to 2014 and approximately 14% are from the period up to and including 2009.

... Similar findings were obtained by Hisasue et al. [9]. In Egypt, Younis et al. [10] found that 20.7% of women fail to reach orgasm because of the short duration of foreplay. ...
... The breasts and nipples were the most common erogenous zones as 54% of our participants reported high arousal by breasts/nipples stimulation. This confirms the results of Younis et al. [10], who found that extragenital areas that gave the highest exciting effect when stimulated were the breasts and nipples, followed by the lips, the neck and the nape of the neck, the ears, and the buttocks (84.6, 83.9, 75.5, 55.2, and 36.4%, respectively). ...

A book in Swedish with the translated title "Sex as enjoyable medicine" based much on published material the last decade by other researchers. It is aimed to be a popular science book that might remove errors and misunderstandings such as the porn industry is spreading and that can increase knowledge about sexual anatomy for men and women.
... In the current study, 15.15% of women reported the ability to reach orgasm by breast stimulation only in all sexual encounters, which is near to the 12% reported by Younis et al. [25] . Noteworthy, Komisaruk et al. [26] used functional MRI to map sensory cortical responses to clitoral, vaginal, cervical, and nipple selfstimulation whereas,t, unexpectedly, nipple/breast self-stimulation activated not only the 'expected' thoracic sensory homuncular region but also the region of the paracentral lobule that overlaps with the region activated by clitoral, vaginal, or cervical selfstimulation. ...
