Did you know that your breasts have the potential to unleash a nipple orgasm? You might not realize it, but each nipple is packed with more than 800 nerve endings. That’s why when you stimulate this sensitive area, as well as the breast tissue around it, you can create a unique and powerful sexual climax.
So instead of focusing on the goodies down there, why not try getting off from your boobies? By opening the door to new sexual techniques, you might discover unique and more pleasurable sensations. But before diving into the techniques, tips, and toys, let’s have a quick refresher on what a nipple orgasm is.
What is a Nipple Orgasm?
A nipple orgasm is a type of sexual climax that can be achieved through nipple stimulation.
Though some of you think that this type of orgasm seems far-fetched, that’s not necessarily the case. Various studies and surveys have proven that nipple orgasms do happen. However, sensations vary per person. Some say that they’ve felt toe-curling orgasms, while others only felt milder climaxes.
If you’re wondering the science behind this, well here’s how it goes. When your nipples get aroused, they send a message to the genital sensory cortex. It’s the same part of the brain that’s in charge of genital stimulation. So when you play with your nips, you’re basically sending a signal to your brain as if your genitals are being stimulated, leading to body-shaking orgasms. Not only that, but your nipples are packed with tons of nerve endings, making it highly sensitive to touch.
That’s why you shouldn’t just take your nipples for granted! Nipple play isn’t just for foreplay alone. By focusing on it throughout the deed, you can give yourself or your partner some bangin’ orgasms. You can also achieve multiple orgasms by combining genital and nipple stimulation.
The simplest way to get a nipple orgasm is by playing your nipples with your hands and fingers. Just massage them and experiment with different nipple play techniques. You can also ask your partner to play with your nipples using their hands and mouth. You may also repurpose your sex toys, such as your clit sucker and vibrator, to stimulate the area or use nipple-specific toys such as nipple suckers or nipple clamps.
For further information on how to achieve a nipple orgasm, we’ve shared everything you need to know about this activity below— from the tips to the nipple play essentials. We’re also answering frequently asked questions at the end of the guide, so make sure to stay tuned for that.
Nipple Stimulation Techniques
By reading the refresher above, you’re probably enticed to try this for yourself. With that, here are the different nipple stimulation techniques that you can try.
1. Circling Technique
Works for: Solo Play & Couple Play
To get a nipple orgasm through this method, your fingers will do a circling motion around your nipples. Start with a light touch and a wide circle. Then, as the circle gets smaller, you will put more pressure on the motion. This technique can possibly reach you to climax, but it’s usually used to build anticipation.
2. Rubbing Technique
Works for: Solo Play & Couple Play
Once you’ve built the anticipation, start playing with your actual nips through this technique. For this one, you will be rubbing your fingers (or hands) on your nipples. You can rub it up-and-down or side-to-side. As for the speed, we suggest starting with slow rubs then increasing the speed later on.
3. Pinching Technique
Works for: Solo Play & Couple Play
If you feel more pressure on your nips, you’re basically going to love this technique. For this one, you will simply pinch your nipples. The pinch will send a rush of pleasurable sensations throughout your body, making it one of the best techniques to get a nipple orgasm. As for the pressure and pinching pattern, we suggest playing around with this and figuring out what works best for you.
4. Lick & Suck Technique
Works for: Couple Play
You will need your beau for this method. As the name implies, your partner will be sucking and licking your nipples. Let them trace little circles around your areola or give light rubs with the tip of their tongue. You can also ask them to flat out their tongue for more coverage. Once you’re all hot and bothered with the licking, your partner can then move to do some sucking. As your partner sucks your nipples, your nips will stimulate extra blood flow and can increase sensitivity.
5. Nibbling Technique
Works for: Couple Play
If you like it rough, then you will surely enjoy this one. For this technique, your partner will nibble your nipples. The gentle bites will increase more sensation and even lead to a powerful climax. Just make sure to communicate your preferred pressure on this. If you’re feeling more pain than pleasure, let them know.
Nipple Play Tips
Are you imagining the techniques above? Exciting, isn’t it? Just imagine how it would feel when you’re doing it for real. But before you play with your nips, we suggest checking out the tips below. This will help you successfully reach nipple orgasm in a fun and safe way. Read on!
1. Tease your mind and body first.
Don’t just go straight to nipple play! You need to be mentally and physically ready before getting into action.
For starters, remove any distractions in your head. Let your mind wander off. After that, tease yourself with audio and visual cues. Indulge in erotica and audio erotica. Have a sexting sesh with your boo. Imagine your hottest encounter.
Once you’re all hot and bothered, you can then move to touch yourself—but not on the nips yet! Start with long, deep breaths to help you relax. Using massage oil, start giving sensuous massages to yourself. Play with your other erogenous zones such as your scalp, thighs, and neck. Let the sensations build up first. After playing with your other hotspots, you can now start playing with your nips.
2. Use oils, lube, and lotions to spice things up!
Wanting to feel various sensations with each nipple-play sesh? Ramp it up with some oils, lube, and lotions. It can enhance arousal and even makes your nipples more sensitive than usual. For beginners, we suggest using an oil-based lube since it doubles down as a massage oil for sensual massages.
3. Say yes to temperature play.
Level up your nipple play with this one. To reach nipple orgasm with this trick, you will need either a massage candle and ice. As you light up the candle, lightly run the ice on your breasts. Once your nips are rock hard, you can gently drip the oil from the massage candle for an instant kick. Keep on switching the temperatures until you reach the climax or try other nipple-playing techniques.
4. Try getting to the edge!
If playing with ice and fire ain’t your thing, how about trying edging? One of the most popular masturbation techniques for women, edging is when you withhold your orgasm to get more intense orgasms later on.
To do this, just play with your nipples by using the different techniques above. Once you feel like reaching a nipple orgasm, stop touching your nips. Wait for a few minutes to subside the orgasmic feeling, then start all over again. Do this for 2-3 times and then release the blissful O in the end.
5. Practice and memorize what worked.
It’s normal to not experience nipple orgasms in your initial attempts. But instead of quitting and claiming that it’s just some pseudoscience myth, just keep on trying new nipple play techniques. Assess each session and check what works and what doesn’t work for you.
6. Mix and match the nipple play techniques.
Don’t just focus on one nipple play method. Mix it up! Lick, pinch, tap, encircle, and rub your nipples all at the same time. Ask your partner to suck your left nipple while you’re rubbing the right one with your lubed-up fingers. You can also create a pattern for these techniques.
For example, you can encircle the area around the nipples for one minute, then tap your nipples for one minute, then go back to circling motion for a minute, then proceed on pinching it for thirty seconds. The sky’s the limit when it comes to nipple play, so don’t confine yourself or your partner to basic nipple play techniques.
7. Try stimulating your nipples before your period.
This is one of the tips that may work for some but may go horribly wrong for others. If you’re trying this tip, make sure to be gentle with your nipples and don’t go all in just yet.
Hormonal changes are part of a woman’s healthy monthly cycle. Some women experience breast tenderness right before their periods. Some may feel pain on their nipples, while others just have extra sensitivity on the area.
If your nipples just feel extra sensitive, consider playing with it right before your period. The extra sensitivity, along with the increased levels of arousal, can help you achieve a nipple orgasm. Meanwhile, women who feel breast pain should stimulate their nipples during this time, resulting in further discomfort in their breasts.
8. Ask your partner for a breast massage before proceeding to nipple play.
Another great way to warm your body up for nipple play is by having a breast massage first. Ask your partner to massage and caress your breasts; tell them to not focus on the nipples and simply massage the area for a few minutes. Here’s an example, commonly known as Ayurvedic Massage, that you or your partner can use:
This part is for the masseuse/masseur. Have your partner lie on their back. After giving your partner a few minutes of relaxing massages on the other parts of their body, place your four fingers on top of each breast and make circular motions. Keep gentle pressure as you move your fingers on their breasts. After that, you can move on their breastbone, going for the same circular motion. You can also do this massage on their armpits if they’re comfortable with it.
9. Take your time.
Keep this tip in mind when doing nipple play and any other sexual activity. If you’re planning to have a nipple play session with yourself or with your partner, set up an ample amount of time; make sure there are no distractions so you can concentrate. Don’t expect to cum within a few seconds of rubbing your nipples. You need to warm your body up, make yourself relaxed, massage your breasts for a bit and do similar activities.
10. Communicate with your partner throughout the deed.
If you’re going to play with your partner, communicate with them before and during the sesh. Some people may get too excited with the boobies that they may get carried away and forget how sensitive they are, so it’s important to guide them through the process.
Don’t let your partner twist your nipples or do anything that’ll make you uncomfortable; tell them to stop if needed. Remember, nipple play is supposed to feel tingly, pleasurable, and ticklish at times— it’s not supposed to hurt.
11. Stimulate your other erogenous zones.
If you’ve tried touching your nipples a couple of times and still not getting those Os… Why don’t you try touching your nipples and other erogenous zones, like the g-spot? This will result in a powerful blended orgasm. It’ll still be as pleasurable as a nipple orgasm but can be attained more easily than just solely touching your nips.
12. Don’t focus on the orgasm… let the pressure go.
Here’s an important tip that will surely help you get a nipple orgasm. Stop. Thinking. About. Orgasming.
Thinking about when or how an orgasm should feel during a nipple play session will result in a distracted mind. Instead of savoring the moment and enjoying the orgasmic sensations that your body feels, you’re just putting unnecessary pressure in your head regarding orgasm; this especially happens when your partner is the one stimulating your nips.
If you really want to reach that satisfying O through nipple play, then let go… Just think of the activity as something that you enjoy and not just something you’ll reach an orgasm with.

You’ve read the tips. You’ve discovered the best sex toys and sexual wellness products. By the time you’ve reached this part, you already have the basic information that you’ll need to get a nipple orgasm. However, don’t worry if you still want to learn more, as we’ve answered some of the frequently asked questions about nipple orgasms below.
1. How long does it take to get a nipple orgasm?
There’s no specific time as different women respond differently to nipple stimulation. Some may get off quickly, while others may require more time.
2. I played with my nipples, but I couldn’t orgasm. Is there something wrong with my body?
Nope! As the saying goes, “different strokes for different folks.” Not experiencing climax through nipple stimulation doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with your breasts. Your body simply responds differently to nipple play. We recommend trying out sex toys for your nipples, such as nipple sucker, tip vibrator, or clit sucker, or stimulate the other erogenous zones while touching your nipples for a delightfully blended orgasm.
3. I want to get nipple orgasms with my partner, but I’m so conscious about my breasts. What should I do?
Before engaging in nipple play, we suggest practicing to help you embrace and love your body. You may try meditation, consult a therapist regarding body issues, or have daily self-affirmations.
We also recommend touching yourself first before having a nipple play session with your partner. In that way, you can focus on the sensations and fully enjoy the deed rather than feel conscious with your body during partnered play.
4. What does a nipple orgasm feel like?
Same with the first question, a nipple orgasm doesn’t have a specific sensation. Different women feel different sensations when experiencing nipple orgasms; some may feel an intense jolt while others may experience a gentler release. The only way to feel this form of orgasm is by trying it yourself or having blended orgasms that involve your nipples (for example, g-spot and nipple, clitoris and nipple, and so forth.)
5. I don’t like touching my nipples. Is a nipple orgasm worth the discomfort?
No orgasm is worth the discomfort. Don’t pressure yourself to try nipple play if you don’t want to play with your nipples. There are other erogenous zones that you can explore, such as your anus, clitoris, g-spot, a-spot, u-spot, etc. However, if you don’t like touching your nipples because of myths, we recommend researching more about your body and trying this activity.
Conclusion
Nipple orgasm, just like any other orgasm, requires patience and curiosity. You can’t just flick it recklessly and expect orgasms instantly. You need to explore your body’s capabilities and try different techniques. Orgasms also mainly involve your mind, so you need to coordinate with your headspace if you want to experience this unique type of sexual climax.
Just keep on experimenting with these nipple-play methods and nipple-play toys, and you’ll reach that orgasmic bliss in no time.
