Had an 8 week old kitten give me a nipple pierce once… and the kitten lived!

Regarding the bolded part above. Door latches are usually 36 inches above the floor. How on earth do you rip your nipples on them, or are you about 45 inches tall?

I would dearly love to hear the answer to this question. Even better would be photographic evidence, even if the nipples were not exposed to vulgar view.

I’m just five foot tall - these jutty out bits are ‘nipple line’. Perhaps my doors are different than everyone elses. I try and get a borrow of my friends camera and will provide you with your photographic proof!

I don’t know if it’s the accident or the cold but my nipple has been erect ever since the incident (i.e. the nipple burning massacre). There is now a tiny scab like area and its still red and tender but _gives thumbs up_

When I first enlisted in the Army I decided to go lifer – no tighty whities for me, boys, gimme the GI boxers. And extra starch on those fatigues, if you please! Over the course of basic training, however, several things happened: The fatigues became worn and began to retain more and more starch with each washing, thus making them stiffer; the boxers became somewhat worn, causing them to gap open in the front more; my body shed fat, bringing the front of my trousers closer to the front of my body. On a long road march back from the firing ranges the last week of boot camp, the little guy kept trying to sneak out through the front of my boxers, only to be rubbed raw by the starch-permeated cotton of the fatigues. Laden with over 60 pounds of gear, there was no way for me to shift anything. It was three hours of pure hell.

Fortunately, I had several days to heal up before the end of training and a much-anticipated reunion with my bride.

I guess the sensation’s there --no full analysis there as I’m more interested in nipples not my own. It’s slightly funky-shaped on the side, but unless you’re looking close you won’t notice much. That’s fire; as for goat damage I’ll have to chat old homeboy up and get back to you.

I never knew this was an actual medical condition. Ignorance fought.

I burned the skin off the tip of my nipple once, its amazing how sensitive that thing can be.  
mine involved fire and a random flame that shot up the inside of my shirt from the waste and managed to burn only my friggin nipple.
