Nipple play: How to stimulate your chest during sex

Generally speaking, men have had the tendency of focusing all the pleasure they receive sexually on either their penis or their prostates, but what about the nipple? After all, men's nipples contain anywhere between 3,000 to 6,000 delicate nerve endings and about 2,000 to 4,000 erogenous ones. So, how should you go about practicing nipple play with your partner to explore new ways of reaching climax?

Communicate and be patient

According to Kenneth Play, an international sex educator:

Men’s nipples vary greatly in sensitivity, being completely erotic for some and totally unresponsive for others.

Adding that:

The male nipple is a vestige of female nipples, similar to how the female orgasm is a vestige of the male reproductive apparatus to provide rewards for ejaculation.

With this in mind, before you get to experimenting with nipple stimulation, talk to your partner and see how they feel about it first. This is to say, make sure you start slowly and delicately with nipple play. The last thing you want is to rush into something completely foreign and potentially have it become awkward between both parties.

By being extra communicative and patient, you'll get a feel for what actually feels going and what doesn't. Whether you're the receiver or the giver of nipple stimulation, you'll have to be diligent—trying out different techniques, at different rhythms in different intensities. While some like to be pinched, others may prefer long and slow sucking, while kinkier nipple enthusiasts might even prefer light biting action.

Get a little frisky

Once you've figured out what tickles each other's fancy, get creative and even a little adventurous if you can. This means perhaps including a little bit of hot oil in the mix or incorporating nipple-centric sex toysin the act. Nipple suckers, magnetic orbs and nipple clamps can really kick it up a notch and could have you experience the best orgasm of your life!
