There are numerous articles that talks about love of warm touch, soft whisper, erotic kiss and many more. But, do you know what role the fingernails play? If not, read the art of seduction and erotic lovemaking with your nails. Explore the intensity that a numb part of the body can introduce in your sexual relationships.

Pressing with the nails or scratching the body is usually seen during the peak of lovemaking, when the lover presses or scratches the partner with nails in grasp for more. One of the famous quotes states that,

'The love of a woman who sees the marks of nails on the private parts of her body, even though they are old and almost worn out, becomes again fresh and new. If there be no marks of nails to remind a person of the passages of love, then love is lessened in the same way as when no union takes place for a long time.'

So get ready to imprint your love on the partners body with these designs. According to Kamasutra pressing with the nails is of the eight kinds. They are categorized according to the forms of the marks which are produced. Read all about it in detail,


Sounding :
Sounding can also be described as the touch of eroticism. When the lover presses the chin, the breasts, the lower lip, of another, so softly that no scratch or mark is left, but only the hair on the body becomes erect from the touch of the nails, it is called a 'sounding with the nails'. Use it on your lady love while gently rubbing her scalp, scratching her head to trouble or frighten her.

Half moon and circle:

'Half moon' is described as the curved mark with the nails, which is impressed on the neck and the breasts. When the half moons are impressed opposite to each other, it is called a 'circle'. Make these marks on the navel, the small cavities about the buttocks and on the joints of the thigh.

Line and the tiger's nail:
To attain sense of pleasure from a line, make a mark in the form of a small line, on any part of the body. For a tiger nail imprint make a same line curve on the breast.

Peacock's foot:
Have you ever seen a peacocks feet. Then go check the feathered fowl in the Internet. Such a mark is made on the breast by means of the five nails, it is called a 'peacock's foot'. It is made with the object of being praised, for it requires a great deal of skill to make it properly.

Jump of a hare
I would term a jump of a hare as a road bump. It is made when five marks with the nails are made close to one another near the nipple of the breast.

'Leaf of a blue lotus'
Make a mark in the breast or on the hips in the form of a leaf of the blue lotus. Its just being artistic, while making love.

Token of remembrance
Have you ever had an intense sex and later noticed a scratch or a nail mark on your neck of which you had no memory? Did it arose your senses of the beautiful moment at your work hour or busy schedule?

Make a mark on the breast or on the thighs or any private area (preferably on your lover erogenous zones while he/she is going on a journey, as a 'token of remembrance'. On such an occasion three or four lines are impressed close to one another with the nails.

These are just few marks noted by Vatsyayana, however there may be thousands of them going unnoticed in the pleasure of love. Try your own one to night and burn the erotic fire till the marks last. Remember, when your lover made a mark on your body so hard that it bruised you, all you felt was another jolt of pleasure. So give your love the ultimate pleasure he/she needs. Its all being a bit erotic and hard with your fingernails.

The places that are to be pressed with the nails are, the arm pit, the throat, the breasts, the lips, t middle parts of the body and the thighs. However these places need not be considered when the impetuosity of passion is excessive.
