Pleasure Zones

How does a subculture appropriate space within the dominant culture? What is the city's relationship to the body? Geographers from England and New Zealand apply queer theory in their consideration of the human body as a vehicle for understanding relationships between people and place. These provocative essays examine the body as an entity constricted by gender, sexuality, race, class, nationality, and disability. They also look at sexual identity as it relates to communities, and how humans "do" gender through regulated practices such as heterosexuality. Pleasure Zones tackles topics such as the politics of gay men's health; the relationship of sex and death to the city; erotic urban landscapes, and how public policy labels lesbians. Each essay attempts to reconcile queer theory and social and cultural theory with the discipline of geography. The result is an illuminating and accessible look at the formation of personal and collective identities. Building on two decades of geography that recognizes the body as a politicized site of struggle, and applying the perspective of the sexual dissident, Pleasure Zones brings a fascinating variety of human experiences into sharp relief.

Discusses the eight core pleasures--primal pleasure, pain relief, the pleasures of play and humor, and mental, emotional, sensual, sexual, and spiritual pleasure--and how they can enrich one's life

Most men would like their female partners to experience the maximum possible pleasure during sex. On the other hand men tend to be rather simple and straightforward creatures when it comes to pleasure and go straight in there without paying attention to foreplay and the pleasure zones. This is a really big and basic mistake and one that many men make - especially (but not only) when they are young and sexually inexperienced. While there's no formula that will please each individual woman, there are a few general ground rules that you can follow. So what's a man to do if he wants new ways to give his sexual partner real pleasure? No matter who you're with it's nice to spice up your sex life with some new moves that she is likely to find pleasurable. If you're doing the same things in bed time after time, things are bound to become a little stale. That's why you need to mix things up and surprise your partner. The pleasure or 'erogenous' zones are placed all over the female body and are easy to find and stimulate. Your partner will love you for it - and I assure you that you will get back at least as much extra pleasure as you give. It's time to go on an erogenous zone exploration! One easy clue to where the erogenous zones are placed is that they are the areas that women draw attention to with perfume and jewellery and other adornments. This is like a sexual signal to men to draw their eyes to these places - the neck (with a necklace or choker), the ear lobes (with ear rings). The most obvious example is the use of lipstick to redden the lips - this echoes the reddening of the vaginal lips when sexually excited and is a really basic female human signal of availability (or at least possible availability) for sexual contact. From her head all the way to her toes, here is a selection of the top erogenous zones to turn her on and give her maximum pleasure.
