Did you know that the breasts (especially the nipples) are a huge erogenous zone? Stroking the nipples affects the same brain area as stimulating the vagina, clitoris, and cervix!
It’s pretty neat that breast play in the form of breast massage and nipple stimulation can also increase natural vaginal lubrication and relax the pelvic floor muscles. Discovering what feels good for you and your partner’s breasts is a process – no one way will feel good for everyone.
While every person experiences the sensation of breast stimulation differently, it can be enjoyable for everyone. And since we’re all about pleasure, we’ve put together a list of breast play ideas so you can show your boobs some extra love during foreplay and beyond.
(Also, in case you were wondering, these techniques can be sensational for people of all genders, sexualities, and body types!)
Keep things interesting
Kissing, caressing, and licking your partner's breast while purposefully avoiding the areola and nipple can be a huge turn-on if your partner craves nipple stimulation.
If your partner is really into nipple play, use your free hand to mirror the movements of your mouth, with your lips on one nipple and your hand on the other. But if your partner isn’t so keen on direct nipple contact, caressing the rest of the breast can be a lot of fun too.
Discover other sensations
Wet the nipple with saliva by kissing and sucking on it, then gently blow to create a tingling sensation. Experimenting with different sensations (such as cold water or an ice cube) on the breast can feel amazing.
Another option is to experiment with sensory play. Sensory play is the technique of diminishing one or more of your senses in the bedroom to enhance the experience of the remaining senses.
When you remove sight and sound from an intimate experience, your sense of touch becomes heightened. Blindfolds or headphones can block out sound and light while your partner caresses your body.
Add a drop of lubricant (or two)
Lube is a gift from the sex gods to all of us - and not just for our genitals! A drop of lube used for intense nipple rubbing or massage can provide that perfect little extra.
Try it with your teeth (but ask first!)
Nipple biting should start slowly and gently. That said, always ask your partner to help you discover what they like. If you get the green light, start slowly. Ask your partner how they feel and if the pressure is comfortable.
You can then gradually increase the pressure if they want. Ask your partner to tell you when you've reached their limit. This can give you an idea of what feels good, so you know how much is too much in the future.
Don't forget the rest of the breast
While the nipples often get the most attention, the entire breast can provide a little sensory stimulation. Explore the fold at the bottom of the breast. Try kissing your partner on the sides of their ribcage. You could even give their collarbone, cleavage (and even the top of their armpit) some love.
Experiment with two different touches or strokes and ask your partner which feels best. Touch two different parts of their body and ask which they prefer.
Add some spice with lingerie
You don’t have to have curves like Kim Kardashian to wear lingerie ! That’s right – people of all genders and body types can harness the power of lingerie to feel sexy.
Besides making your breasts look oh-so-boobiful, certain fabrics like satin and silk can feel seductive against your skin. There are a million different bra designs, but some of the sexiest include strategic cutouts, open cups, or sheer designs to make you feel hot and confident.

Have some fun!
Do you think vibrators are just for genital sensations?
No. Vibrating sex toys aren't just for below the belt! A buzz on the nipples can be a great warm-up for sex.
As mentioned, nipples are formed from erectile tissue, so the nipples and areola are perfect for using your toys on. So, grab your power wand , bullet vibrator , or other buzzing pleasure toy.
Show your boobies in a harness
Feeling confident increases sexual arousal and pleasure, so wearing something that makes you happy is paramount. Chest harnesses can be very sexy and like lingerie, they enhance what you have.
While many people associate harnesses with strap-on sex, there are a variety of harnesses designed for breasts of all shapes and sizes. Stop by the store to see what we have.
Use nipple clamps
Nipple clamps may look intimidating, but they are simply devices used to increase sensation in the nipples. Sure, you can get a little kinky and use them as part of consensual BDSM pain play, but nipple clamps don’t have to be painful.
Choose an adjustable pair to change the pressure and customize it to your preference. Just don’t keep nipple clamps on for super long; instead, have a 10-minute on, 5-minute off routine. (We have these in our gorgeous boutiques too!)
Get some inspiration from the clitoris
As bizarre as it may sound, sometimes how someone likes their clitoris stimulated is similar to how they enjoy having their nipples played with. Try gentle, broad strokes around the areola if someone has a super sensitive clitoris that doesn’t like direct contact.
The ultimate orgasm
Breast and nipple play, as well as clitoral stimulation, can cause orgasms. Nipple orgasms are not only real, but can also increase the likelihood of other orgasms. Stimulating two erogenous zones at the same time, such as the breast and clitoral regions, can create a sensational blended orgasm by increasing arousal, activating more nerves, and making orgasm easier and stronger.
