Visualizations are from fleshmap:

We asked hundreds of people how much they like being caressed on various parts of their body, and how exciting it is to touch different places on their lovers. Their answers, a total of 33,871 ratings covering 707 points on male and female bodies, provide a collective portrait of desire. In Skin to Skin, compare men and women, touching and being touched.

Survey respondents were asked two sets of questions: “How good would it feel to touch this area?” and “How good would it feel to be touched in this area?”. They were then shown a series of pictures of the body part and asked to give a rating. The respondent’s gender and sexual preference was taken into account.

The survey results are presented in a heatmap overlayed on a silhouetted body.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Pace University’s Digital Gallery currently has the piece on display until December 18th. The piece is very interactive and gives insights regarding the repetitive use of certain words (i.e. hands, eyes,ass) in different music genre.
