When it comes to the female orgasm, we know two things for sure: we get off either through penetration (the lucky ones at least) or clitoral stimulation… or both if you’re really lucky. At this point in your life, you probably know what you like and what techniques will generally get the job done. But did you know you can get off solely from boob sex? Seriously. Stay with us here.
How Nipple Orgasms Work
The reason they work is that nipple play triggers the same area of the brain that’s activated by clitoral, vaginal and cervical stimulation. The right lick, kiss or suck will send chills down your spine, blood flow to your breasts, and hormones through your body leading right to that O-oh-ohhhh!
In short, you have the ability to get equally turned on no matter where you’re touched. Don’t question us. Talk to science.
How to Achieve a Nipple Orgasm
Just like clitoral and vaginal orgasms, there’s no rulebook for getting off from nipple play. There are, however, a few things you can do to speed the process along.
Start by relaxing. Your orgasm has just as much to do with your mental state of arousal as it does your physical reaction.
Tease! Just like your partner wouldn’t penetrate you without warming you up first, so should they take their time with your nipples. Keep it PG-13 at first with a good old-fashioned fondle and work from there going under the shirt then bra.
Have him or her start by pinching your nipples and pulling softly as if to raise them.
Next, have your partner lick in circular motions for a few minutes to tease you.
Alternate licking with sucking. It shouldn’t be sloppy. Your partner should suck just around the nipple—softly at first and then firmly create suction.
Have your partner experiment with different intensities until you find what you like. You may want to go harder or softer than you first expected.

When You Can’t Reach Nipple Orgasm
First of all, relax. We said nipple orgasms are possible, not guaranteed. If you find you can’t achieve orgasm through nipple play alone, you…
…might have too many expectations. There’s nothing worse than trying to force an orgasm. Forget the end goal. Let your body respond whatever way feels most natural.
…might not have sensitive nipples. Nipple sensitivity can vary from person to person and be impacted by things like breast augmentation, breastfeeding, and your menstrual cycle.
…might want to have your partner stimulate other erogenous zones at the same time.
…might not like being touched there. Period. No big deal.
