It may seem mystifying to imagine, but a surprising amount of women have the ability to cum or at least a pleasurable release of endorphins that feel similar to orgasm, through stimulation of the breasts alone. While there are no nerve bundles such as those found in the clitoris, and no area related to a G-spot or female prostrate, the breasts are very sensitive areas and play a large part in arousal.
Some women can find rough or hard squeezing of their nipples very pleasurable, others much prefer a soft and gentle touch. As always, everyone is different so your mileage may vary!
In a study of 213 women, a huge 29% said they had experienced some sort of orgasm via breast stimulation It is believed that this is because a ‘pleasure’ hormone which is present during orgasm, Oxytocin, is produced when the nipples become aroused and erect.
Some women report a distinct relation to uterine contractions that have not been apparent during a clitoral orgasm. Others claim to have not felt anything related to the genitalia, just a pleasurable feeling around their breasts, goose bumps etc.
Of course, as with any orgasm, there are a lot of psychological factors involved. The electrical signals play a huge part in the physical arousal of the body. But during a breast orgasm, there may be some very maternal instincts involved as well. Manipulation of the breasts will make a woman feel maternal, and the instinct to reproduce kicks in, thus arousing her further. With continued stimulation of the breasts, this may sometimes result in an orgasm. It may be that the mind makes the body think the two are connected or it can be physical, since the nervous system is so intertwined.
During foreplay or during sex itself, the nipples play a major part in sensitivity and excitement. In some circles, nipple clamps have become more mainstream, making the way from the BDSM scene. If that seems a little extreme then a simple pinch between finger and thumb will achieve the same! If you do find that you are one of the lucky ones who can orgasm through breast stimulation then there are a number of sexual positions that allow for breast access and stimulation.
Every woman will feel something different. Some women don’t enjoy any breast stimulation and this may be effecting by their cycle. Some people live for breast fondling. However, there is no particular technique to achieve orgasm. It is just a case that some people can and some people can’t. But there’s no harm in trying!
