What is a Nipple Orgasm?
You guessed it! A nipple orgasm is an orgasm that results from stimulating the nipples.
The nipples are packed with nerve endings, making them a hotbed of sensitivity. When these nerve endings are stimulated just right, they can produce intense, pleasurable sensations that can lead to an orgasm. Albeit, a slightly different kind of orgasm than your regular clitoral orgasm or penile/male orgasm. More on that later…
But nipplegasms are not just about the destination – it’s about the journey. The process of exploring, teasing, and stimulating the nipples can be a deeply intimate and satisfying experience, whether or not it culminates in an orgasm.
Nipple play is and will always be a great addition to other kinds of stimuli!
How are Nipples So Sensitive?
Nipples are sensitive because they’re very dense with nerve endings. When these nerves are stimulated, they send signals to the same part of the brain that receives signals from the genitals. This means that for some people, nipple stimulation can feel as good as, or even better than, genital stimulation. The sensitivity of the nipples can also be heightened by factors like temperature and arousal, making them a versatile tool in your pleasure toolbox. You can get very creative with nipple stimulation!
Female & Male Nipple Orgasms
One might think that some people are more prone to nipple orgasms than others. The truth is that everyone who has nipples, are equally likely to enjoy nipple stimulation.
Don’t get me wrong. Some people may not enjoy it at all, some might only enjoy certain sensations, some are super sensitive to any touch (perhaps too sensitive for it to be pleasurable), and others may really love having their nipples stimulated. We’re all different!
However, that difference has much less to do with our “gendered” anatomy than our personal preferences and our individual anatomy!
What do Nipple Orgasms Feel Like?
It’s always a challenge to describe what any type of orgasm feels like. They most likely feel different to everyone.
However, many people describe it as a wave of pleasure that starts at the nipples and radiates throughout the body. It’s often described as less intense than a genital orgasm but more prolonged.
Some people describe it as a tingling sensation that spreads from the nipples to the rest of the body, while others describe it as a warm, pulsating feeling. The key takeaway here is that nipple orgasms can be a unique and pleasurable experience, different from but potentially just as satisfying as other types of orgasms!
How to Have a Nipple Orgasm
Alright, now that we know more about what a nipplegasm actually is, let’s get into how you can actually have one! I’ve gathered my very best tips on how to have a nipple orgasm here:
1. Warm Up & Create Arousal
Before you dive into nipple play, it’s important to create a state of full-body arousal. This could involve self-touch, foreplay with a partner, or even just fantasizing about something that turns you on. The more aroused you are, the more sensitive your nipples will be, and the more likely you are to experience a nipple orgasm.
- Setting the mood – Light some candles, put on some music, dim the lights. Create a space that encourages arousal.
- Watch some ethical porn – Get yourself in the mood by watching a little erotic treat. If mainstream porn doesn’t do it for you, there’s a lot of different options for ethical and inclusive porn out there. Check out Lust Cinema or Sssh.com! We’ve even done a through review of Sssh.com, take a look!
- Listen to audio erotica – If visual erotica is not your favorite way to get down and dirty, I personally enjoy the option of some arousing audio. I’ve fallen in love with Dipsea and the many, many different types of content available there. Worth every penny, in my humble opinion. You can check out Isabelle’s in-depth review of Dipsea, right here!
- Touch yourself or each other – Whether you’re approaching nipple play solo or with a special someone, try building arousal with some self-touch, deep kissing, or some intense “foreplay” with your hands and mouths.
2. Breast Stimulation Techniques
Before focusing on the nipples, spend some time pampering the surrounding breast tissue. After all, the breasts are often overlooked as erogenous zones that offer more than simply visual pleasure. Show them some love!
- Massage the breasts using a kneading motion. Start out gently and increase the intensity as you.
- Grab the breast with your hands and fingers lightly. If your partner enjoys it, you can also tug gently on the breasts while grabbing them.
- Kiss the sensitive skin on the breasts. This is also a great way to transition into nipple stimulation.
You might find that certain areas of your breasts are more sensitive than others. Remember, this is about exploration and pleasure, not just the end goal of orgasm.
3. Nipple Stimulation Techniques
When it comes to nipple stimulation, there are many techniques to try. You could start with gentle touches or strokes, then gradually increase the intensity. Here are some specific things you can try out. Remember, all of these sensations feel very different and not everyone may enjoy all of them. Go slow and listen to your partner when trying out these methods:
- Licking – try licking the nipple with different motions (up and down, side to side, circular motions). Use a flat tongue for broader sensations and a firm, pointy tongue for more of a pinpoint feel.
- Sucking – use your lips to create a seal around the nipple, and gently suck on the nipple. Start out slow and gradually intensify the suction if your partner responds well to it. Nipple sucking is also a great way to tap into any lactation kinks!
- Biting – gently use your teeth to bite into the nipple. The key here is to keep things very mild, until your partner encourages more pressure. Stay safe and don’t bite each other’s nips off!
- Pinching – use your fingers to lightly pinch the nipple. Again, start with mild pressure and see how far you’re comfortable going.
- Rolling – if you’re not into pinching or biting or anything that feels a bit sharp sensation-wise, you can try this method. Use some lube or spit moisten the area, and simply rub your fingers around and over the nipple with mild or firm pressure.
- Blowing – no, it’s not a blowjob for your nipple. Well, actually, yes it literally is. Try moistening the nipple (perhaps while you’re doing the rolling-technique) and blow lightly on the nipple once in a while. The cool or warm air from your breath can also feel quite pleasurable to the receiver.
Hopefully, it goes without saying that all of these techniques should be performed with total transparency and consent. Listen to your own or your partner’s boundaries and sensitivities. Some things may feel more intense to them, while other sensations will feel very subtle.
Again, I recommend trying out all of these techniques starting at a mild intensity level and then slowly building up based on your partner’s feedback.
4. Sex Toys to Elevate the Sensations
There are many sex toys available that can enhance nipple play. Nipple clamps, for example, can provide a constant pressure that some people find pleasurable. Nipple suckers can create a suction sensation that mimics the feeling of oral stimulation. Vibrating nipple clamps can add an extra layer of stimulation. And weighted nipple clamps can provide a sensation of pull or tug that some people enjoy.
Nipple Suckers
Nipple suckers, or nipple pumps, are like little vacuums for your nips! They increase blood flow to the area, making your nipples super sensitive.
Simply place them over your nips, squeeze to create some suction, and let them work their magic. After a few minutes, take them off and voila! Your nipples are now extra sensitive and ready for whatever fun comes next. Any touch, lick, or tickle is going to feel way more intense. It’s like turning the volume up on your nipple play.
Nipple Clamps
Classic nipple clamps are a staple in the world of sex toys. If you’re into nipple play, there’s a good chance you’ve already explored some nipple clamps before!
There are lot of different types of nipple clamps out there. Every single one of them have attributes that could help you towards an amazxing nipple orgasm! From beginner-friendly tweezer nipple clamps and alligator nipple clamps, to more advanced magnetic nipple clamps and BDSM nipple clamps. There’s something out there for everyone!
Vibrating Nipple Clamps
Vibrating nipple clamps pack two different sensation in one sex toy! They apply a satisfying pinch to the nipples, which can heighten sensitivity. The added feature of vibration then provides a whole other layer of pleasure.
Since the nipples can be so sensitive, different kinds of vibration can feel amazing. With these babies, you get to experience pressure and vibration combined. However, you can also explore the vibrations alone by trying out your trusty old vibrator on your nipples!
Most bullet vibrators or g-spot vibrators also double as nipple vibrators. Try it out!
E-Stim
Oh yeah, electro-play is very much a thing when it comes to extreme nipple play. It doesn’t even have to be extreme to be pleasurable!
Using electric nipple clamps or another e-stim toy, like this Kinklab Neon Wand, can really add some spice to your nipple stimulation.

Nipple Stretchers
The sensation of having your nipples lightly (or intensely) tugged at or pulled on can be exciting for some! While you can totally achieve such a sensation with your hands and fingers, these kinds of products can assist you. This way you’ll have your hands free to do all other sorts of things…
More extreme nipple clamps, like these nipple stretchers, the Tit Tuggers, can offer a really intense stretch! Perfect for anyone craving a very extreme sensation of tightness on the nipples.
Butterfly nipple clamps also offer some serious clamping power. However, any nipple clamps with chains allow you to amp up the sensation but lightly tugging on the chain. With a set like these Bondage Boutique Squeeze and tease Nipple Clamps, you can definitely spice things up!
Weighted nipple clamps is another alternative for getting that intense tugging feeling. These babies come in a sorts of shapes and sizes! Don’t overestimate how much added weight you can handle on your nips. You don’t want to start out too heavy!
5. Experiment & Explore!
Remember, nipple orgasms aren’t achievable for everyone, and that’s perfectly okay. It may take time to figure out what kind of stimulation works for you. You may also find that you need to combine nipple stimulation with other types of stimulation to achieve a blended orgasm. The most important thing is to enjoy the journey of exploration and discovery, and to focus on what feels good for you.
So, there you have it, folks! Your comprehensive guide to nipple orgasms. Now you’re all ready to go and explore the full potential of your lil nips! Happy nipplegasming!
