Nipple orgasms: 3 tips that will heighten breast stimulation, from an expert

Sex toys, dirty talk, bondage… there are infinite ways you can heighten your excitement and even more if you use a little bit of imagination. In addition, our body provides us with a range of erogenous zones that will have us gasping for air upon touch, and your breasts are one of the most important ones. Sexologist Alexandra Hubin spoke with Femme Actuelle about breast stimulation, and here’s what she has to say:

On a purely physical level, we have all the sensory sensors, regardless of the size of our breasts.

Hubin also reminds us that when it comes to breast stimulation it’s not about size or gender, it’s rather ‘a question of eroticisation’ she says. According to her, when you know that you are entitled to pleasure and want to discover those kinds of sensations, it opens up a whole door for you to feel them in your body.

How do you stimulate the breasts to increase pleasure?

Hubin says it’s all in the nipples.

1. Take your time

You have to take your time to slowly build up the excitement in your nipples so that they can be erect. Once they’re erect the sensitivity will heighten and so will the pleasure. She says:

You really need to go slowly, to allow time for the nipples to become erect so that the sensation is manageable and above all pleasant.

2. Finding the right intensity

When you take your time, you should also build the rhythm and intensity. Hubin recommends starting with light, feather-like strokes. She continues:

Once the excitement has built up, you can allow yourself to caress a little bit harder, or even pinch a little bit.

Use your partner’s mouth

If you’re engaging in a duo act, then use your partner’s mouth to get the juices flowing. As essential as moisture is down below, it can also be a great way to amp up nipple stimulation. Hubin explains:

The wetness can be very exciting

You can also play with this moisture and (...) blow to create hot-cold effects, which are often well appreciated.

Nipple orgasms

What we’re wondering is: if you can stimulate your breasts and nipples, can you also have a nipple orgasm? Breast specialist Dr. Kristi Funk spoke on The Doctors confirming that one third of women 'can reach orgasm solely by having their nipples caressed.'

If you’re trying to achieve this kind of orgasm, remember to follow the tips above, but the most important tip is to be patient and give it time. Gigi Engle, a certified sexologist tells Insider:

You'll need to devote at least a half-hour to this play, but likely even longer.

If you try to rush it, you will not have an orgasm.
