Male, 63, here. I have THE most sensitive nipples! They are an instant trigger for my sexual arousal. My sexuality is nipple-centric, not penis-centric. I cannot tell you how many times during the day, I will lift my shirt above my nipples and touch them, palpate them, pinch them. When I do so, I can feel a rush of chemicals into the pleasure centers of my brain. If I do this for an extended period of time, I come very close to experiencing orgasm (not ejaculation - just orgasm). There are times that I wonder if my body chemistry gives me a higher concentration of female hormones, which allows me to fully experience this joy.
My routine begins with lifting or removing my shirt, and using my index finger on each hand to lightly touch the tip of each nipple, and then my areolae, to bring it to attention. I’ll use light circular motions on each nipple, and just above it, below it, and on each side while simultaneously brushing my areola. Then, I’ll have the thumb of each hand join the index finger the provide a light pinching, pulling, and twisting. All very gentle. This is my body, my nipples, my ‘girls’. How would you want someone else to treat you/them? I’ll alternate between finger tips only and finger tips/thumb until I can feel arousal.
Now, I also enjoy being objectified, too, so I’ll occasionally imagine I’m at the doctor, or participating in a research study, and my nipples are being tested for sensitivity and pain thresholds. At this point, I’ll pull out some household items with sharp points and start to poke. There are so many things lying around the house that make for interesting sensations, as I become the ‘subject’ of these tests by curious medical practitioners. Of course, by now, I’ll begin to feel some dampness in my underwear.
Years ago, I stumbled upon Phillips Avent Niplettes, which are used for nursing mothers with inverted nipples. These Niplettes use light suction to draw the nipple from the chest wall, into a small chamber. As the nipple remains extended in the chamber for an extended period (which takes some time to work up to), the nipples will remain puffy, engorged, and erect even after removing the Niplettes. It takes some time, but permanent stretching can be achieved. The act of stretching also drastically increases the sensitivity of each nipple to.
Finally, I love to incorporate salves, lotions, petroleum jelly, and other items into my repertoire. The lotions feel nice alone, or sometimes they’ll reduce the discomfort of some of the ‘tests’ and the application of which can calm me down.
I’ll not sure any of this will appeal to anyone but me. After all, masturbation is something we do to ourselves - ourselves being the key word. It is nice to give ourselves and our bodies this physical, mental, and emotional pleasure. More often then not, this touching will trigger something more indepth and I’ll find myself undressing all of the way. I find when I give my body sexual pleasure, it is much more fun to do so without any clothing on. This might go on for 30 to 45 minutes or longer. I’ll usually end this with an ejaculation to relieve my buildup.
I do track my masturbation and use tags to keep track of what’s ‘trending’ in my arousal. Over the past year, ‘nipples’ has been a tag I’ve used in 82+% of my self pleasuring.
My only wish was that male nipple arousal was an area of importance in sexual health, increasing demand for more research studies and subjects to participate in them.
