Nipples are often an overlooked source of pleasure that, when done correctly, can lead to sensational orgasms. Increasing sensitivity and delivering an intense natural high, there’s nothing quite like the sensations experienced during nipple play. Research shows that nipple stimulation is processed in the same region of the brain as when stimulating the vagina and clitoris – making it part of the holy trinity of female pleasure. Although nipple orgasms are shorter than genital orgasm, they offer greater intensity and supreme sexual sensations.
So whether you are looking to try some torture or just have some gentle fun; the nipples are the perfect spot for both tease and torment!
Safety First
As with all aspects of kink, if you or your partner experience any pain, notice any discolouration around the nipples or loss of sensation, stop immediately. As with most things, you need to start softly and build your way up. Start with your hands – this is the most basic way to tease and please. The tissue around the nipples tends to be more sensitive than other areas of the body, and will lacerate much quicker. So, take things slowly and monitor your partner’s reactions and body language. If your partner has inverted nipples they are at great risk of infection, so avoid abrasive techniques that could break or cut the skin.
To begin with, gently massage your partner’s breasts. Use massage oil or some flavoured lube, such as Durex Play Saucy Strawberry (€ 6.71, kinky.ie) , to make things nice and slippery. Then while massaging with one hand, use your fingers or tongue to lightly trace the area around the areola, before placing your open mouth over the nipple. Try using your lips to softly hold the nipple in your mouth and run your tongue back and forth over it, or start sucking softly.
If your partner responds well to the sucking sensation, consider buying nipple suckers such as the Vacuum Twist Suckers (€ 22.39, kinky.ie) . These were designed to be places right over the nipples and can be left there for the duration of your foreplay/intercourse. This is a great way to get some additional nipple stimulation while your attention is focused elsewhere.
Bite them
Want to add a pinch of torture to your play? Bringing in some teeth is the easiest way to take your nipple play to the next level. Using your teeth means that you can easily control the pressure. Start by nipping with the front teeth, slowly increase the pressure until your partner says the pressure is too much. This will help you both establish the limits. Then all you have to do if find the exact amount of pressure that really turns them on!
Clamp them
If you or your partner enjoy a good amount of pressure on your nipples, you can try playing around with nipple clamps. Wearing nipples clamps promises to give you a real rush and increases sensitivity, what more could you want? We recommend buying a set that are fully adjustable, such as the Fetish Fantasy Alligator Nipple Clamps (€ 16.79, kinky.ie) , so that you can control the amount of pressure applied. The metal clips are covered in soft rubber liners, making these clamps perfect for beginners and fetish enthusiasts alike!
Feeling a little naughty? Why not try a pair that come with a weighted chain, such as California Exotics Weighted Nipple Clamps (€ 16.79, kinky.ie)? This toy will create a heavier pulling session, and gives you or your partner something to tug on to really get you going.
Buzz them
Electrostimulation is becoming increasingly popular, and it’s easy to see why. Electro play stimulates the nerve endings and can cause involuntary muscle stimulation – it’s also a kinky way to explore the pleasure/pain boundaries. We recommend that you take caution when purchasing electro sex toys, if you doubt the equipment or quality of the toy, stay away. Pulse based stimulation devices output a pulse type current that is designed to safely stimulate muscles and nerves, and is the safest form of electrostimulation. There are plenty of PBS toys on the market – Fetish Fantasy Shock Therapy (€44.80, kinky.ie) is designed to be used on both the nipples and genitals. This easy-to-use device comes with 3 pre-programmed pulsation patterns, from sensuous tingling to full-on throbbing.
Alternatively, you can combine electrostimulation and clamps with Fetish Fantasy Shock Therapy Nipple Clamps (€ 56.00, kinky.ie). These spring-loaded clamps plug into the electro-power unit and provide thrilling e-stimulation, from sensuous tingle to a throbbing tap with a flick of a switch.
This is just the tip of the iceberg! Give those nipples some love, and see what happens!
