Methods for increasing nipple sensitivity?

[Elendariel]

Hi there Peeps..
So I've trolled through what the search came up with, but aside from a quick mention of trying some psychology on myself, I"m still at a loss.

I was born with inverted nipples, which only very occasionally, 3 times a year maybe would become hard enough to actually form any kind of "peak". I was quite embarrassed about this for years.. and thankfully discovered and used the Avent Nipple product I've linked to below. It works up to a point, .. now It looks like I might have mosquito bites, and this when I havn't used that item in years. (though I'll occasionally use it for a few hours before a date... note..I needed to buy costume spirit glue, and glue remover from a makeup in order to make them stay on). I think that if I were to try to use it again for a few weeks, I see better "results" for a few months, maybe a year, but I do find that it's a repeat process. For what it's worth, I'm far far far happier and more confident having the slight protuberance, rather than a complete invert!

That aside, while I"m very happy I can finally see my nipples... they still remain pretty much dead sensitivity wise. Sometimes there's a slight feeling, but it's the sometimes that bugs me. Most of the time, I feel as little from them as say, you'd notice someone touching the back of your arm, it's as though there are only 3 nerves hooked up instead of 100.

I read a fabulous article on penis "growth" through daily exercise and stimulation, and I"m just really hopping someone else might have heard or read about a way to do the same thing with nipples. My lack of sensitivity and arousal with them disappoints me, and while I"m not sure my partners are really "disappointed" per see (I haven't directly asked.. I doubt they'd answer honestly", in a way.. well.. I just wish that I could receive more pleasure from my nipples, especially as seeing that guys seem to enjoy and get pleasure from knowing they can give pleasure to women by playing with their nipples. It's like a huge part of the give-take foreplay/flirting game has been removed from the equation.. and it upsets me on many levels. so.. um.. Help??

What about nipple clamps? Using them for extended periods of time can deaden the nerves and cause damage, but for limited periods of time (say five to ten minutes at a shot) increases sensitivity a LOT for me. You can get some that look more like jewelry than anything torturous, and some that look like medieval devices. Here's an article that might help with selection.

I was going to suggest this! I find that (for me) the ones that are more like jewellery do little other than look pretty. However, the stronger clamps leave my nipples tingling for a good few hours after. And the first time we used clover clamps my nipples were hard and very, very sensitive for about a week following

Not that I'm suggesting you go straight for the er torturous-looking ones straight
away. Why not start wherever you feel comfortable and work your way up - worth a try.

Oh yes, please don't go straight for clover. We have some but other than a brief trial, they're in the "box of yet to come" goodies. That one trial consisted of application, then a brief session of swearing on my part along the lines of "ohmygodwhatthefucknonono," his laughter, then replacement with our favorite tweezers. I would suggest tweezers, but everything I've read said that those can be difficult for smaller nips.

If interested in nipple clamp choices, you may want to pop over to the BDSM forum and post a quick question. I can only speak from my own personal experience in use, but many over there can probably provide a wealth of information about what would work best for specific body types, tension preference, and purposes.

They do increase sensitivity, though. Definitely right then, but also over time on a more permanent basis. And if you're afraid to kink out on your partner with use during sex, you can use them yourself under clothing, in the shower, whatever, so no one but you will know.

Sorry, but I laughed, out loud, pretty hard, my buddy across the room said WHAT? I said - Oh nothing.

Sorry, but that made me laugh.

SOrry it also hurt, but am glad you're OK.

No offense taken. People should laugh more, so glad to contribute. He laughed also at the time, and once the damned things were off, so did I.

But, uh, sometimes the hurt is the point, and yes, I'm quite okay (better than ever, actually). Clovers are intense though, and I think need to be worked up to. Someday, but not there yet.

Ditto this! And I can empathise. completely.
Perhaps the OP may feel more comfortable with something a little more accessible - such as household clothes pegs etc etc. Surely anything that stimulates bloodflow to the nipples could possibly have an effect on sensitivity?

 

[SweetErika]

I'd suggest trying wooden clothespins before buying clamps or jewelry. Then you'll be able to get a sense of whether or not the concept works for you prior to spending more than a few dollars. If you find the tension to be too much, you can clamp a couple of the pins onto something larger for a day or two to loosen the springs.

As VS mentioned, you should limit restricting bloodflow to 20 minutes. After that, tissue damage/death could occur.

On a side note, my nipples have grown quite a bit with pregnancy, breastfeeding and pumping breastmilk.

You may not be able to do much about your nipples, but you could work on finding other spots that are as pleasurable as sensitive nipples.

nipple help

One thing we have used are little suction cups that we got from www.goodvibes.com. Easy to use, and really helpful in increasing sensitivity without going too far.

 

[NippleMuncher]

Never fear, NippleMuncher is here! (ta-ta-ta-daaaahhhhh )

I get a strong sense that there's a mental component here that's being missed. Yes, increased blood flow to the nipples, clamps, and hyper stimulation can help increase sensitivity, but where is your mind while your nipples are being given attention, either by you or your partner? Since the mind is your primary sex organ, you may need to "train" it to feel. For instance, you already know what those tingling sensations feel like when other erogenous zones are aroused and caressed, now, imagine those sensations while your nipples and breasts are being fondled and suckled by your partner or yourself. Another method is to include heavy nipple play during an orgasm - training the brain to associate pleasure with breast play.

You may need more harsh physical manipulation to illicit a sensory response, such as a spiked wheel or needle. It's not about creating pain, it's about creating feeling, waking up the nerves to touch. Only apply enough pressure with the implement until you can feel it, stop if there's pain.

Lastly, I offer my professional nipple munching services. 100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money back ... (I'm teasing, not a troll )

I have the same problem with lack of sensitivity. Actually, I used to have inverted nipples as well, but I grew out of it. They feel about as sensual and erotic as poking my arm.

To make things even more puzzling, exactly twice they have suddenly become very sensitive. It was everything I've dreamed about for 30 seconds, at which point it suddenly vanished. I wasn't even touching them or doing anything the slightest bit erotic at the time.

I've tried clamps, suction cups, and moisturizing regularly, but nothing works. I have very little sexual experience, so I don't know if suction would help. NippleMuncher, I'm very tempted to take you up on your offer...

 

[Kenneth19]

Seriously,

Use regular plain old white glue and put a thin layer on your nipples.

Okay, then wait for the product to dry on your nipples.

Using a fan or fanning with your hand will speed up the drying process.

Then peel off the dry glue, do this often and they will eventually get SENSITIVE!

It worked for me.

 

[tan43215]

sister in law had inverted nipples got them pierced -- small fish weights -- and a breast pump -- no longer inverted

 

[favoritesgoddess]

These are easy to use and make my nipples more sensitive, though I don't have a problem with inversion. My left one is a bit more "reluctant" than the right one.

These are a little bit trickier to put on, but MAN. Talk about sensitive. My shirt rubbing against them makes me jump out of my skin!

 

[chaosgirl42]

My right nipple used to be inverted too. (I'd never heard the phrase so it had never occurred to me to be embarrassed) But I got them pierced in April and love love love them. The left one had always been more sensitive and even then, only to things like biting and hard pinching. But now they are both super sensitive and so-o-o-oh much fun!
I go them pierced because I thought it would be fun and when I went in the guy was a little worried about the right one because it was inverted, but he used a clamp and was able to do it. (He said that if he hadn't been able to, he'd have recommended I use a snake bite kit for a couple weeks)
I know this is still considered an "extreme" piercing some places, but I will say that everyone wants to see them and nobody has ever had anything bad to say about them. The select few who get to play with them love them more than I do!

Try some of the methods discussed here and see if you have any positive effects. Don't look at the things you've tried as failures, look at them as things that haven't worked and move on to something else. With the OP's query, I got the strong sense that she has a mental component that needs to be addressed, with you I get a combination of mental and physical reasons for your lack of nipple sensitivity.

For you I'm recommending that your significant other give you full body massages, with special attention to your breasts. Use copious amounts of massage oil so that your SO's hands slide freely across your skin, this will allow for stronger pressure and deeper massage without pulling, stretching, or pain. I'm not talking about breast play as a precursor to intimacy, though you can certainly go there if that's what YOU want. What I'm referring to is a deliberate massage of the chest wall and muscles behind the breasts and front of the shoulders, as well as the breasts themselves. Massage relaxes the body and mind, increases blood flow, and heightens sensitivities. In this relaxed state, you can concentrate on the sensations of the massage all over your body and specifically to your breasts.

I am not comfortable discussing the mental components openly, so if you're interested in my thoughts on that subject, feel free to PM me.

I do make house calls ...
