Did you know that female orgasms are not only caused by clitoral stimulation or penetration ? Erogenous zones line women's bodies and open up a horizon of orgasmic possibilities . The breasts are areas of the body that provide access to pleasure and sometimes even orgasm. The nipples , located at the end of women's chests, are particularly sensitive to stimulation.
Breast orgasm: what is it?
The Anatomy of Breasts
To better understand how and why breast stimulation can cause orgasm, let's look at their anatomy. 🔬
Just like the very thin skin of the breasts, the nipples and areolas are areas rich in nerve endings, very sensitive to stimulation.
The nerves in the breasts send signals to the brain through the nervous system , and these signals can stimulate the pleasure centers. Spoiler alert : the nerve messages arrive at the same place as when stimulating the genitals. It is thanks to this very well-made circuit that we can have a breast orgasm. 🤩
We'll tell you more in the next section! 👇
The brain and the perception of pleasure
Research by sexologists and scientists has revealed that nipple arousal activates the same brain region as clitoral or vaginal stimulation in women.
And yes, contrary to what one might believe, the brain is indeed the number 1 organ of pleasure. This is why we can provoke orgasms as much by clitoral stimulation, mammary stimulation, or even without direct physical contact. 🧠
Female orgasm is not only a matter of physical stimulation , but also of the influence of the mind and imagination.
This finding was confirmed by studies using functional MRI scanners, where participants were asked to caress their breasts and genitals for 40-second periods. The imaging revealed similar activation of the sensory cortex.
The whole body then becomes a potential zone capable of taking pleasure. If we go even further by including women who enjoy themselves during their dreams: our imagination is also an erogenous terrain in its own right.
What sensations do you feel during a breast orgasm?
If it's all in the brain, breast orgasms are just as intense as their clitoral counterparts.
Some women experience a wave of intense pleasure that spreads from the breasts throughout the body . This can include sensations of warmth, tingling, and increased arousal.
According to Maria Hubmann, a sexuality coach: "It's like an explosion of pleasure in the chest and breasts. The intensity, although localized, is incredibly pleasurable and can be a surprising, but exciting discovery. " 🎆
However, the sensation felt during these breast orgasms differs from one woman to another. The triggers for climax can also vary.
The warm feeling surges throughout the body before triggering the orgasm mechanism.
Pregnant women can enjoy more breast pleasure, as many say the sensation triples during pregnancy. 🎉
At this time, female hormones are undergoing constant changes, which causes an increase in breast sensitivity . So this is the perfect time to caress the nipples.
In addition to physical pleasure, nipple stimulation causes a surge of oxytocin , aka the love and attachment hormone. Enough to feel good in your body and in your head!
Our best tips and techniques
Create the perfect atmosphere
As we saw above, the environment and the state of mind you are in during stimulation greatly impact the level of pleasure felt. This is even more the case for breast orgasm, because it is an area less accustomed to enjoying than the clitoris or the vagina.
Slip into a relaxing atmosphere . You can dim the lights, light an incense stick or candles, play your favorite soundtrack. Daylight works too and will allow you to observe yourself and love your body. ☀️
Also eliminate possible distractions. Put your phone on airplane mode , don't have any appointments within the next hour so you can fully concentrate on your sensations and your pleasure.
Breast massage
Use your hands to gently caress the breasts, making circular movements around the areolas . Vary the pressure to gradually increase the pleasure.
You can also apply light pressure by compressing the breasts between your hands , by doing this the blood flow will be increased and the sensations will intensify.
And if you want to continue to create a feeling of well-being, why not choose a special massage oil ? 🧴
Testing the hot/cold technique
Thermal stimulation, alternating between hot and cold sensations, is an innovative and exciting way to stimulate the breasts and nipples.
For the cold sensation, dare to try the great classic of ice cubes in a bowl or cold compresses . If you are two, you can place an ice cube in your mouth and place it on your partner's breasts. Also try keeping it in your mouth for a while and then lick the nipples with your cold tongue. 🧊
Then blow on the cold nipples to bring warmth. Many erotic brands also offer formulas of lubricants or warming gels to use anywhere on the body.🔥
Nipple pinching
With fingers
Using fingers to pinch nipples is a direct and intimate approach.
Start by applying light pressure and gradually increase depending on your reaction or that of your partner if you are playing with two people. Each person has a different sensitivity, so it is crucial to find the right level of intensity so as not to hurt them. 👌
Alternate between circular motions, light pinches, and gentle twists . This helps stimulate different nerve endings and maintain arousal.
With pliers
To take the intensity further, turn to accessories.
There are several types of nipple clamps , ranging from adjustable clamps, which allow you to control the pressure, to decorative clamps that add an aesthetic element to the experience.
Some clamps have screws or springs that allow you to adjust the force of the clamp. 🦞
Playing with the mouth
Lick
Use your tongue to gently lick the nipples and skin around the breasts. Vary the pressure and speed to find what feels best for your partner. 👅
Blow
After licking, gently blow on the wet area to create a cooling sensation, in fact, this alternation of hot and cold can be particularly stimulating. 🔥
Nibble
Gently nibble the nipples and areolas. Pay attention to your partner's reaction, as this technique can be very pleasurable for some, but too intense for others. Go gradually so as not to hurt your partner.
Stimulate other erogenous parts in parallel with the breasts
This technique allows you to increase both pleasure and letting go . While you stimulate your breasts, you can also stimulate your clitoris . By doing this, you will gradually establish a connection between your nipples and the overall feeling of pleasure . This will allow you to "train" this part of the body to enjoy.
If you combine breast stimulation with clitoral, anal or vaginal pleasure, you can experience an explosion of new sensations and let yourself be carried towards new horizons of pleasure.
Include vibrators for added pleasure
Using vibrators is not mandatory if you want to achieve ecstasy. However, they can be great allies to explore your sexuality!
There are several types of sex toys , each with its own characteristics. For example, some models allow you to have powerful and intense orgasms like clitoral vacuums. Other vibrators give you a progressive pleasure, allowing you to feel each vibration, no matter how weak it may be.
Our Toupie is the ideal wellness accessory to stimulate the breasts. Easy to handle, it has a wide part and a thinner head to stimulate certain areas with more precision.
