> [@MeanOldLady](#): > > It’d be easier to show you. > > Seriously folks, um, even though it would be, I’ll try to explain with the usual disclaimers about people being different, and varying mileage, etc. Where most fail is (much like everything else people do wrong in the boudoir) they’re too fast, too much, and all over the place. I realize some people like pressure applied just short of puncturing the flesh, but for me, somewhat gently rubbing or licking the nipples will make me the happiest girl in the county. I have crossed the finish line with my pants on from my nipples being stimulated properly. Feel free to play with the whole area, and change up the activities, as I enjoy it all, but if you’re trying to make the special magic happen, slow-to-moderate speed, gentle-to-moderate pressure focused on the nipples only is the way to go. > > [/fake sex expert] Meh, a bit anti-climatic, this. I was hoping for a revelation that was a bit more Earth shattering. ---

I guess it is possible. However, how can either partner when they are aroused to such an extent prevent themselves from touching the other person in intimate places? ---

But if her nipples are erect for more than four hours, does she have to go see a doctor, too? ---

Anecdote: a friend of a friend was unexpectedly taken to great heights while getting her nipples pierced. ---

This does seem to be a pehreninal topic in lesbian circles. I remember reading that a lot of lesbians feel like they have a direct connection to their clits from boob play. But then again it varies a lot. ---

I dated a girl once who was a low-level masochist. She loved a kind of standard warmup of her nipples that then got rough, with lots of prolonged pinching and twisting. One time, we were going about this and she said if I kept it up she thought she might orgasm. Sure enough, about 2 minutes later, she did. One and only time I’ve ever experienced that. ---

I’m currently seeing a woman who can have orgasms from getting hickies, having her feet rubbed, or licking her fingers. But her nipples aren’t particularly sensitive. Go figure. 🙂 ---

It has happened for me. My breasts get stimulated in a particular way, and with just a little pressure on my pelvis (like the person laying on top of me… nothing else) and it can happen. It so can happen. ---

But her nipples aren’t particularly sensitive. > > Go figure. 🙂 I saw a dating show with the hickie one, but I assumed she was faking in order to get the guy to choose her. I’ve never heard of the other ones, but I have heard that the place in the brain that receives signals from the genitals and the feet are close to each other, and that signals can overlap in some people. What’s weird about that last part is that it is usually brought out as an explanation of the foot fetish, but it seems like it’s explaining for the wrong person. tThe person with the fetish likes other people’s feet, not having their own physically stimulated. ---
