It’s a lot of fun to be in a human body—one that can provide pleasure, connection, and, of course, orgasms. Your sex life is a place for experimentation and new experiences. Most people believe that female bodies can only orgasm via vulvar or vaginal stimulation, but we’re here to prove them wrong. While the scientific jury is still out on this, many people have self-reported having various types of orgasms. They experience them in their clitoris, g-spot, cervix, anus, and even their breasts. Orgasms in the breast? You must have heard us. Some claim to be able to orgasm solely through breast stimulation. If you’re stuck in an orgasm rut or want to branch out in your sex life, it might be time to investigate the world of breast orgasms. How exciting! Orgasms from various parts of the body can feel very different. People who have had nipple or breast orgasms often describe them as powerful waves that sneak up on them slowly and then explode.
Exploring Breast Orgasms
People who have breast orgasms usually get them from nipple stimulation. Your nipples, like your clitoris and vagina, are major erogenous zones or areas that stimulate sexual desire. The nipples, like your genitals, are full of nerve endings—the same nerve endings that help you have clitoral orgasms. When these nerve endings fire, they send signals to the genital sensory cortex, telling it that it’s time to wake up. MRIs have revealed that clitoral and nipple stimulation stimulates the same area of the brain. Of course, everything is interconnected! If you have sensitive nipples, you’ve probably been turned on by having them rubbed, sucked on, twisted, or whatever tickles your fancy. What if you took it a step further and got to the big-O solely through nipple play? Set the mood as you would before engaging in other sexual activities. Whatever that means for you and your partner – taking a bath (possibly together), dimming the lights, massage, dirty talk, whatever. Allow yourself to relax and stimulate your mind by fantasizing, watching, or listening to porn if that is your thing.
Some experts believe that by stimulating different areas of your body, you can train your brain to orgasm. For example, you could orgasm normally by stimulating yourself through your clitoris. You would also stimulate your breasts at the same time. You stop stimulating your clitoris but continue to stimulate your breasts right before you orgasm. Their theory is that by using this method, you can train yourself to orgasm from different parts of your body over time.
It may not be comfortable for everyone, but you can try using toys as a vibrator on your breasts and nipples. Some manufacturers create toys specifically for nipple stimulation. Toys aren’t the only tools at your disposal; try a body oil or lube to help things slip and slide. You can even try ice to add a thrilling new sensation to the mix. Slow down and concentrate on your breathing. The deeper the sensations you can feel, the more you can tap into your breath. Experiment with various techniques and sensations. Squeeze and massage your breasts, and draw lines over your areolas. If you have a partner, have them experiment with their mouth and tongue by nibbling, sucking, and biting them. When you’re really aroused, you can increase the speed and sensation over the actual nipple, possibly even pinching them. Having a breast orgasm may be easier during your period or even during pregnancy when your nipples are more engorged and sensitive. Just be gentle!
Show Off Your Best Breast
As with many new sexual arenas, it is sometimes preferable to explore nipple orgasms alone during solo sex before involving a partner. You’ll be able to tell them exactly what you want and how they can get you to the tipping point. Breast orgasms are not limited to female-bodied individuals. Cis-men and people born with penises can also experiment with nipple stimulation and have nipple orgasms. While it’s fun to experiment with different types of pleasure and sensation, remember to ease up on yourself. Your sex life is not a place for perfectionism; it is a place for connection and feeling great in your own skin.
Experiment with breast stimulation without any hurry or goal in mind. Take your attention away from orgasms and focus on the extraordinary sensations you’re having in your body. It can take some time to get used to a nipple orgasm, especially if it’s your first time. Allow yourself 20 to 30 minutes of exploration time. There’s no need to rush. Remember to take your time, be gentle (or not), have fun, and enjoy yourself!
