Nipple Stimulation and Orgasm

Reader Question

'Dr. Mia, I have heard that nipple stimulation alone can induce orgasm. Is this true? My girlfriend has very sensitive nipples and we would love to learn how to do this.'

Mia Says...

Sex researcher Dr. Dina Ogden says that 50 per cent of women in her studies were able to achieve orgasm from non-genital stimulation. In her book, Women who Love Sex, she maintains that many more women could probably do it if they and their partners knew what to do.

Nipples are a hot erogenous zone for most women (and some men too!). Erogenous zones have a high concentration of nerves that link to the genitals. The secret to a nipple orgasm is to keep your touch light in the beginning and gradually build up to more intense stimulation. So relax and take your time. Start with just your breath (hot as in *haa* alternated with cool as in *whoo*). Then use your fingertips to trace around the areola and over the bud, touching the tips of gentle strokes.

Play with contrast by taking the whole nipple in your mouth. Swirl your tongue around the bud.

As she get more aroused, she may crave more intense stimulation, such as nibbling. If she responds favourable, you may want to play with the border between pleasure and pain, but always maintain a sense of playfulness.

If you keep this up for long enough, she might surprise herself by tipping over into a full-blown orgasm.
