NSFW: Why do women find it sexually arousing to have their breasts touched?

I guess a breast themed day on Fluther is sort of an appropriate lead-in for Mothers Day. Sort of.

“life giving jahoobies”??? :-)

I don’t. My boobs are ultra-sensitive so if the nipple is flicked, pinched, licked or even lightly touched it drives me crazy and not in a good way. I find it pretty uncomfortable. If anyone plays with my boobs they have to avoid the nipple area, but I’d rather you just grab my ass. Please.

<kindly offers @Vunessuh a hand>

Most likely only by someone they like

Same reason any sexual touching tends to feel good. Most people have pleasurable arrangements of nerve endings there. Might be made more sensitive by binding them up all the time, too.

I don’t like ‘em touched. I like them bit.

Where women go topless all day they don’t find it such a turn on because they have them exposed all day not to mention the fact that nerves aren’t stimulated too much [ just like the palms ]

my 2 cents

I don´t like it.

It depends what time of the month it is for me. ..if I am due on they are ultra sensitive in a bad way and my hubby has to steer clear! I can’t say I am Mega turned on by my hubby playing with my boobs, but I do enjoy watching feeling him get pleasure from my boobs, I am a f cup. ..he loves them! !!

@noelleptc Really? I am as well!

@noelleptc Chyeaaaaahhhh!

“I don’t. My boobs are ultra-sensitive so if the nipple is flicked, pinched, licked or even lightly touched it drives me crazy and not in a good way.”

Do you experience the same sensation when only you touch your nipples, such as when you take a shower, etc?

I was recently with my wife when she was bra shopping, and she got super excited because she finally found a bunch that fit her. Turns out the ideal fit is a 32G or 32F. I had no clue I’d been privy to such a rare phenomena. I just figured she was some sort of D.

what do i know

Because if it’s done properly it just feels so damn good!

Whenever my nipples come in to contact with tight tops/showers they hurt. :(
But touching the sides of my breasts is always welcomed :)

So we’ve established that women have a wide variety of experiences with the sensitivity of their breasts. We also know that there are a lot of nerve endings in breasts (male as well as female) and that where there are a lot of nerve endings—genitals, anus, lips, fingers, there are generally some erotic possibilities.

Now, the interesting issue to me is the social component. Are there psychological associations with breasts that let some women be more sensitive than others? Why would one like a lot of licking and the other wants biting? Yet another wants squeezing and another likes to be touched very lightly? Can this all be explained by biology, or is there another component—the mind?

Of course, the mind must be involved. I mean, people watch a lot of porn these days, and I think they learn things they might not have tried otherwise, and find that they feel good. There are also stories to be told about breasts—some people see breasts positively and others not so much. For someone who has negative associations with breasts, it might be hard to feel good about them, or to like the feelings that come from them.

So in the end, the answer to this question probably has to be as varied a the number of women with breasts. I don’t know if there are any broad trends. You just have to get to know your woman. Don’t assume she is the same as other women you have been with. Get to know her and talk to her and play with her, and you’ll find out how to treat her breasts. Then you just go for it!

I dunno, but maybe size matters too. I think my nipples hurt because they are big…

To kinda add to what @wundayatta is saying… I wonder if there is an association between what feels good psychically for a woman and her boobies and her relationship with being breastfed as a kid, or relationship with other women in general (role models, mothers, etc…). Same for guys, if they’re more inclined to like/dislike breasts because of their relationship with their own moms as young children.

And, just my input, but I think we always kind of want what’s forbidden. We hide our chests (but show them off just a little) and that makes the mind wonder. I wonder how it is for those who live in societies where it’s usual for women to go topless… hrmmm.

I think this goes to show that you cannot generalize and group all women into any sexual preference.

I’m middle of the road, handle them with care, and yes, rough nipple attention will get you cuffed upside the head.

I’m more of an ass lady myself. haha

I think this all depends on the women and maybe to some degree how they are touched. Until recently I never cared for nipple play. I never felt anything, it wasn’t any more sensitive than my stomach or arm. So I never cared for it at all. Recently, they’ve become very sensitive and I now enjoy nipple stimulation a lot.

The nerve endings in nipples can be stimulated to the point of orgasm. I’ve heard that some woman have orgasms when they breast feed. My cousin had a mastectomy and then cosmetic reconstruction of breasts. She has no feeling in them, whatsoever. I would grieve over that.

I love having my breasts touched, licked, kissed, sucked, bit, and fondled by a man I feel sexually attracted to because it feels good. What more reason do I need? It makes me feel desired and I especially enjoy it when he seems to be enjoying himself and getting immense pleasure out of it.
