> [@levdrakon](#): > > Interesting question. All I know is I’m a gay guy, and my nipples don’t do much for me. They seem to go from “that’s boring” to “ow, that hurts.” There’s not much in between, which has disappointed a few people in the past. I’m a straight girl, and it’s the same for me. I do play with guys’ nipples, though, and every single one of them have been VERY happy about it. ---

My husband is not a fan of having his nipples toyed with, although as a part of general, gentle allover stroking and caressing, it’s not like he’s not going to leap up and shout NO if I encounter a nipple. This is actually one of the few things that bugs me about my husband. Previous partners have enjoyed it, and I kinda miss it. ---

Thanks everyone for all the responses. The results are: **1.) No nipple play is not a just a gay thing. 2.) Many straight guys are into nipple because it’s pleasurable 3.) Some straight guys aren’t into nipple play because it does nothing for them or is painful.** OK, fair enough, these are the responses I was expecting. Thinking I was a shoe in for that Vanilla Coca-Cola, I took the results to my friend. This was his response: _If str8 men are into tit torture, I would wager that it is a relatively new age thing brought on by the tit piercing that gay men have brought into fashion as we do everything else. I still think it’s a huge sign that someone likes to suck cock._ First off, we were discussing nipple play in general. Tit torture to me is something a bit different, bordering on bondage/S&M. Regardless though I don’t see that as being a gay thing either. What’s this that gays are also responsible for the piercing rage? Clearly my friend is just shooting rainbows out of his ass and so I’ve now taken to calling him the Pink Panther! I’m just going to go out and get that coke myself with a toast to all of you! My friend might not be swayed but we know what’s really goin’ on. ---
