4. Suprasternal Notch

Much like the Dimples of Venus, the Suprasternal Notch is another non-sexual body part that is inexplicably considered to be sexy. It appears in art and literature throughout history as an erotic zone, but it's not entirely clear why.

On a slightly less sexy note, it's also a great place to aim a powerful jab if you're being attacked and is a popular vulnerable target in martial arts. So those are your options.

3. Axill

If you want a slightly fancier name for your pits, try "axilla".

As much as we like to pretend that they aren't there, mostly by covering them with various sprays and potions and even getting rid of the hair that naturally grows there, the more unsavoury aspects of your axilla are very important. The hair and specific type of sweat gland that nestles under there all help to waft your personal musk over to potential mates. Sexy.
