How to Have a Nipple Orgasm (+ Why This Will Up Your Big-O Game)

Think nipple play is just for foreplay? 

Well, you probably never heard of the nipple orgasm. 

That’s right. You can have an orgasm just from playing with your nips  — without ever touching your vagina or clit. (But, if you’re in the mood for some extra excitement down there, go for it!)

Want to learn more about the fascinating world of nipple orgasms? 

A little something to remember:

Sexual activity isn’t just about orgasm. If you don’t climax from nipple stimulation, don’t worry. As long as you enjoy it, that’s what really matters.

What Is a Nipple Orgasm?

A nipple orgasm (or a nipplegasm or breast orgasm) happens when you reach sexual climax strictly through nipple stimulation. 

So, no penetration or genital stimulation?

Your nipples are a common erogenous zone packed with sensitive nerve endings. This means with the right nipple and breast stimulation, you can achieve a nipple orgasm without any action down south.  

Okay, so how does a nipple orgasm work?

When you stimulate your nipples, your brain’s pleasure center — a.k.a. the genital sensory cortex — lights up. This is the same area of your brain that becomes aroused by genital stimulation.  

As you continue to stimulate your nipples, pleasurable sensations intensify, eventually leading you to a nipple orgasm.

So, naturally, you might wonder...

What Does a Nipple Orgasm Feel Like? 

Your experience of a nipple orgasm will be as unique as you are, as the feeling varies from person to person.

Some women describe a nipplegasm as a sneaky delight that can take you by surprise, building up gradually. The sensations usually send tingles through your entire body while the pleasure increases until you feel the big O. 

These sensations of orgasmic pleasure aren’t just limited to your breasts. They can send pleasurable contractions in your lower or chest regions.

For other women, a breast orgasm is an irresistible appetizer before the main course. Imagine gentle throbs and contractions, similar to a genital orgasm, that radiate from your nipple. 

And here’s a twist: 

Your nipple orgasms might feel more intense during your period. 

The hormonal shifts during menstruation can increase breast sensitivity and tenderness, potentially boosting your sexual arousal levels.

Can Everyone Have a Nipple Orgasm?

Technically speaking, if you have nipples, you have the potential to experience a nipple orgasm. (And, yes, that includes the possibility of a male nipple orgasm too!) 

But that doesn’t mean you will. 

There are factors to consider that play a massive part in whether or not someone can achieve this type of female orgasm from nipple and breast play. For instance:

• You may not be into nipple play that much (and that’s perfectly okay!)
• You may have less sensitive nipples (we’ll have some ideas for that later.)
• You may experience a psychological block caused by anxiety, stress, or trauma.

The best way to know if you can have a nipple orgasm?

Show your nipples some love! Explore solo, with a partner, or with a sex toy and see if nipple and breast play can get you to O town.  

And if it doesn’t happen the first time, it doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t. Just like a vaginal orgasm or clitoral orgasm, achieving a nipple orgasm takes patience and practice. 

Remember that the big O is like a cherry on the cake. You can still enjoy the cake by itself.

How to Achieve a Nipple Orgasm by Yourself 

Achieving a nipplegasm can be an exciting addition to your next self-love session. Here’s how to climax from solo nipple play: 

• Find a comfortable spot (Bedroom? Bathtub?) where you won’t be disturbed. 

• Get yourself into a relaxed but sensual headspace. Try taking a few deep breaths or turn on some soothing music. 
  
  Just thinking about sexual stimulation can increase your chances of climaxing.

• Once comfy, gently run your hands up and down your inner thighs and let your hand wander. Tease yourself by playing with another erogenous zone, like adding clitoral stimulation, to increase sexual arousal. 

• With your fingertips, start by tracing soft circles around the edges of your nipples. To enhance the sensations, add a few drops of lube. 
  
  Looking for a lubricant that offers lifelike moisturization and improves sexual health?
  
  The Coconu Water-Based Lubricant is made using a calming blend of all-natural ingredients, including organic coconut water. 
  
  Thanks to its lightweight, silky formula, this water-based lube is the perfect sidekick to your solo nipple play sesh! It also works well with all sex toys, including silicone toys. 

• As your nipples become erect, gradually increase the intensity. Stroke them, and then, if you’re comfortable, move on to gently pinching them. The sensation intensifies with every squeeze, so you can adjust the pressure to your liking. 
  
  If you’d like a little extra pressure, you can also use a nipple clamp.  

• Now, take your nipple between your thumb and index finger. Start rolling it between your fingers while gently tugging on it.

• When you feel you’re on the brink of an orgasm, slow down. Keep doing this until you can’t resist anymore. Once you surrender, you’ll feel the irresistible sensation of a sweet, sweet orgasm.

Note:

The key here is to explore different sensations and enjoy the journey, not to expect to climax. Besides, there’s no rush! 

And if breast stimulation and nipple play aren't your thing, no biggie. There are plenty of other ways to discover what brings you pleasure.  

How to Achieve a Nipple Orgasm with a Partner 

The techniques you use during a solo nipple session can also work with a partner. 

Here’s how to have some nipple fun with your boo: 

• First things first, prioritize open communication and consent before trying anything new. Let your partner know you’d like to explore nipple play and ask if they are open to it.

• Start by asking your partner to give you a sensual breast massage. Then, enjoy the playful sensation as they trace little circles around your nipples with their tongue.

• As your nipples become more sensitive, encourage your partner to give them firmer licks. Then, have them gently blow on your nips to increase stimulation (and send shivers down your spine).

• When things heat up, your partner can introduce some sucking action. This boosts blood flow to your nipple area, adding to the sexual pleasure. 

• If you’re into it, ask your partner to nibble on your nipples lightly. Start gently and ask them to increase the pleasure to your liking. Remember, everyone’s nipple sensitivity differs. 

• The more you enjoy it, the further you can go. Just have fun and let your boo know when you want more (or less, it’s all about you and your nips, after all!) 

Hot tip:
Ask your lover to include some clitoral stimulation if you want to rev things up. This irresistible blend of different sensations can lead to a blended or combo orgasm, so you get double the pleasure. 

How to Boost Sensitivity for Extra Nipple Pleasure

When it comes to nipplegasms, it’s all about nipple sensitivity. 

But don’t give up if you don’t have particularly sensitive nipples — you have ways to heighten the sensations:

• Introduce lubricants and sensual oils: Both lubricants and sensual oils can increase sexual pleasure and add to your arousal. Lube can reduce friction and enhance comfort, while a sensual oil is often scented, adding a sensory dimension to the experience.
  
  Here’s a lube our customers can’t get enough of:
  
  Coconu’s Oil-Based Lubricant offers a non-sticky formula that’s easy to clean up, so you don’t have to worry about stained sheets (Yas!) 
  
  

• Use a sex toy: Sex toys are perfect for a little hands-free nipple play. You can find toys specifically designed to stimulate your nipples, such as nipple vibrators, nipple suckers, or nipple clamps.  

• Experiment with warm temperatures: Try using warm wax from a body-safe wax candle, which melts at a lower temperature than regular candles. This provides an instant heat sensation on the nipples that pass within a few seconds. 
  
  Test the wax's warmth on your hand or inner thigh first before using it on your nipple. Observe the sensation. If it feels too hot, remove it promptly with a damp cloth.
  
  Another sensual way to play around with warm temperatures?
  
  Indulge in a warm oil massage or use cupping techniques with your hands. Gently rub your hands together before placing them on your breasts to create a pleasant sensation of warmth. 

• Play around with cold temperatures: Grab an ice cube and gently draw around your nipples. The super-cold temperature can be arousing and lead to increased sensitivity.
