The other night my roommate and I were discussing our tastes in women, and he proceeded to tell me that women with large breasts can be much more easily sexually stimulated - that their was a direct correllation between their breasts and clitoris’s(whatever the hell the plural of that word is…). I personally think its a bunch of crap. He does have an extensive sexual history, so its hard to argue with him, given as I have next to none. Can anyone shed any light on the subject? ---

Well, I have big breasts and I can tell you, it all depends on my mood more then anything else. I don’t think my breast size has anything to do with it. I don’t climax easily because I’m pretty high strung and it requires a lot of work just to get me to relax. ---

His anectodal evidence doesn’t have much ground, unless of course he’s slept with a considerable number of women (thousands). Also, how does he know they weren’t faking it? ---

Your roommate’s experiences are not only just anecdotal, but generally skewed. Consider: If he finds large-breasted women to be far more appealing than small-breasted women, he’s probably had sex with many more large than small. Therefore, the women he’s had sex with who orgasm easily would tend to be large-breasted, would they not? As for my own experience, I am small-to-medium in breast size, and have always been multi-orgasmic. ---

Think about it, on what phisological basis can you say the breasts are “corellated” to the clitoris? Yeah, much more likely, he’s just better at sexually stimulating women he finds sexually stimulating. But I find his assumption kind of obnoxious, i.e., the way it is for me and my dick MUST be the way the world works :rolleyes: 😛 ---

From what I’ve read, the opposite should be true. When I googled “nerve endings in breasts” I found several sites that all revealed the same thing–namely, this from this site: [http://www.sexinfo101.com/pw\_erogenouszones.shtml](http://www.sexinfo101.com/pw_erogenouszones.shtml) > [@](#): > > The entire breast is rich in nerve endings and all breasts have the same number of nerve endings. Thus, the woman with smaller breasts may experience increased sensations per touch. This results from a condensed amount of nerve endings. And the only reason I still disagree with this is because I’m a large breasted woman with particularly sensitive breasts. I tend to think what **norinew** stated is the case and your friend simply cannot have enough experience to be able to assume that just because this is what he’s experienced that makes it fact. Besides, how can he be sure they’re not faking it? ---

lauramarlene, at least you’d feel something if your nerve endings were googled. After breast feeding my 2 children, I could have my nerve endings googled til the cows came home and I’d feel nada. ---

I’ve been with both large and small breasted girls, and I’d say your pal was wrong. It appears to have more of a correlation with mood, feelings of attachment and so on. Both of my girls were multiorgasmic. \ ---

## quote: ## The entire breast is rich in nerve endings and all breasts have the same number of nerve endings. Thus, the woman with smaller breasts may experience increased sensations per touch. This results from a condensed amount of nerve endings. “Nerve endings” does not equal ability to have orgasms. There are the same number of nerve endings in the clitoris as in the penis. This _might_ mean the clitoris is more sensitive than the penis, but does _not_ mean that someone with a clitoris is generally more able to have orgasms. ---

Maybe your friend was trying to say this: there’s a correlation between the size of his partner’s breasts and HIS ability to have a quick orgasm. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/correllation-between-size-of-womens-breasts-and-their-ability-to-have-orgasms/146168.md?page=2)
