The nipple orgasm—or nipplegasm, as I like to call it—sometimes seems a bit of sex urban legend. Welcome back to the Ask Dr. Nan column. Nan , a psychotherapist, certified sex therapist, and neuroscientist, here to address your pressing questions about sex, love, and pleasure. My philosphy—informed by three decades of practice as a psychotherapist coupled with a dozen years of conducting research on the neuroscience of sex and pleasure—is that pleasure is a necessity for our health and well-being.

What does a nipple orgasm feel like?

While clitoral and vaginal orgasms might get all the attention, nipple orgasms are another legit way to explore your pleasure in bed. Woman A: I was with my boyfriend and he had his hand over my shoulder while we were watching a movie. He started to really lightly play with my nipples over my shirt and I nearly came. After that, I experimented by myself. Woman B: Through foreplay and experimentation with my first boyfriend. And this? I was honestly quite pleased afterward! Woman C: My partner was playing with my breasts far more gently than people normally would. The initial buildup was boring: his touch seemed too soft. We were both shocked.
Getting the best O of your life doesn't happen the way you think.
With their nerve endings and closeness to the heart, nipple play is something to be incorporated into your sexual to-do list. I first discovered my success with having an orgasm while incorporating nipple play when a partner simultaneously touched my clitoris and nipple. The sensation between both zones was like a wave. Slightly different than a penis in vagina orgasm, and somehow more intimate. However, once I started to gyrate and the feeling in my nipples translated the remainder of my body, I knew what I was experiencing. Taoist texts encourage couples to use their mouths on nipples in order to relax the body and the mind.
Sure, you let your breasts roam free when you unhook your bra at night, but you're missing out if that's the only time. Cup your breasts and let the water hit them directly. It helps the circulation to your breasts making them fuller as well as more perky after a shower. Put petroleum jelly on your nipples to make sure they keep their natural color. The secret: Stick one-inch strips of tape a quarter inch away from the edge of your clothes. It keeps everything in place but still looks natural. Deepening the shadows that they create gives the impression of fuller breasts.
