In the 4th century BC, Praxiteles had the statue of Aphrodite in Knidos executed. She covered her genitals with one hand and held something like a towel with the other. However, she never seemed to be embarrassed by the exposed nipples. Moreover, before those puritans who maintained public morality covered the nipples with bras or handkerchiefs, we could still appreciate the nipples in the statues of Venus de Milo, the Little Mermaid of Copenhagen, Goya's "The Naked Maha", or Tiziano's "Venus of Urbino". Why do people still insist on erasing these nipples nowadays? If the cold air from the air conditioner makes the nipples stick out from under the clothes, should we feel embarrassed? Just 20 years ago, Rachel from "Friends" was showing off her nipples in every episode. Were we bewitched by Ned Flanders? Fortunately, nipples are far from being a shy violet; they are proud and upright; for they will possess the most intense kingdom of happiness.

Does nipple orgasm really exist? All about "breast orgasm"

As sexologist Valérie Tasso puts it, there is only one type of orgasm. But this does not mean that the ways to achieve orgasm are not diverse. From a biological perspective, nipples serve the function of breastfeeding. Regarding male nipples, they form in the womb before testosterone begins to exert its effects, which explains their existence. Nipples are also the location of hundreds of nerve endings, making them one of the most sensitive parts of the body.

Anyone who has experienced their own body will understand the pleasure brought by caressing the breasts, areolas, and nipples. Usually, giving them appropriate attention will increase sexual arousal and promote orgasm. But can stimulating the nipples alone lead to orgasm? The answer is yes. A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine by sexologist Barry R. Comisaruk and Beverly Whipple shows that the brain regions activated by stimulating the nipples are the same as those activated by stimulating the clitoris and vagina. "Although most orgasms come from genital stimulation, there is evidence that separate sensory stimulation can also cause orgasm," the study states.

So now you understand: breasts and nipples, especially those of women, are an endless source of pleasure. We say "especially women" because according to other studies, 59% of women enjoy nipple stimulation during sexual intercourse, while the proportion for men is only 17.1%.

Manual stimulation

First of all, it must be remembered that the sensitivity of the breasts and nipples varies from person to person, and even for the same individual, the sensitivity can differ. This depends on factors such as the stage of the menstrual cycle or whether oral contraceptives are being taken. Sometimes, your breasts and nipples may be extremely sensitive, and even a slight touch can cause discomfort. At such times, paying attention and communicating are of utmost importance.

It's better to gently stroke the entire breast first, rather than stimulating the nipple like pressing a doorbell! Stimulation of the nipple without fully awakening it can be very painful, so don't rush (this advice applies to any highly sensitive erogenous zone).

Make circles, scratch, slowly approach the areola, circle around the nipple, feel the nipple getting harder, and then gently touch it with your fingertips. The intensity may vary depending on personal preference; during times of heightened sexual desire, many women seek stronger and more intense stimulation. By increasing the intensity of the caress to promote blood circulation, and adding other stimulation methods at the appropriate time (such as kissing, gentle biting, using sex toys), it can enhance the experience.

Oral stimulation

The act of biting will be discussed later. First, use your tongue to gently lick the breast, just like using your hands. Move slowly towards the nipple and make circular motions. Start by focusing on the areola. Gradually increase the intensity, licking, sucking, and teasing. Then, well, why not — bite (please do it gently), and at the same time, observe their reactions.
