Do Your Tits Like Pain?

I'm with ya! I can come from that alone!

I don't think that's the case. My wife is large - and she swears girls with saller breasts are more sensitive. The only time hers are sensitive is when she's PMS - then they are too painful to touch.

I just think it's a combination of biology and attitude.

I also don't think there is much correlation between breast or nipple size and sensitivity. I have worked with women, and their breasts, from a Lactation Platform, for many years (more than 20) and I (and the research) has found that most of the myths regarding nipple sensitivity are usually wrong.

There are myths that redheads and blonds and women with creamy white or alabaster skin get sore nipples more easily and women with darker skin have "tough" nipples. Neither the research, nor what I have seen over the years have proven this to be true. (I think that this evolved from the need for the Upper Classes to believe that "dark" women, who were usually in positions of social submission, were somehow "tougher" and didn't really feel pain, so they could be treated inhumanly, and that creamy white upper class women were "too sensitive" to do much of anything "strenuous." Feeding their own children, included, of course.)

I have worked with red headed, blue eyed women who get a sun burn from a 200 watt lightbulb who have little or no sensitivity in their nipples, and dark skinned African American, Latina and Middle Eastern or Mediterranean women who get sore and cracked after one or two baby feedings, and need heavy duty drugs for the pain as well as a long term strategy with good positioning and latching (again, I'm looking at this from a breastfeeding standpoint, but sensitivity is the same.) Likewise, of course, I have seen light women with sensitive nipples and dark skinned women with tougher nipples, but there is no pattern.

I think some women just have more sensitive nipples than others, for anything between individual pain tolerances to hormone issues.

Anyway, it's an interesting subject. Although men often do have sensitivity, theirs is usually much less than women. There is simply no evolutionary need for men to have sensitive nipples, since they will never need nerve messages sent to the brain to trigger milk ejection, Lactogenisis (the 3rd stage of which is dependent on nipple stimulation) and milk production. That doesn't meant that women who have "tough" nipples will have trouble with milk production, but the reason women have more sensitive nipples appears to be related to lactation.

Probably I believed it because it was true for 100% of my own survey sample (me). I may also be less sensitive because for the longest time (actually, until just a few years ago) I never wore a bra. That's supposed to toughen your nipples. At least in my childbirth class, they suggested going braless for periods of time to increase toughness.

Tuesday, my guess is you just are not that sensitive. For reasons based on evidence based research, the "toughening through rubbing with fabric" theory, which was preached for decades, has been discounted.

Most nipple soreness during breastfeeding is from poor latching and positioning and as the skin on the nipples and areolea regenerates and turns over very quickly, it is basically impossible to create "tough" tissue on the nipple.

I know, I was originally taught this, too. But, newer research in the last 5 years or so has shown that any "toughening" exercises basically worthless. Only good positioning and time will cure sore nipples during breastfeeding and only good latch from the beginning will prevent it.

That's right. As "tough" as mine were, there was still some soreness in the beginning, now that I think back on that time.

Of course, in the first few days, nearly every woman has some soreness. You've never used your breasts in that way before, hormonal things are going on, tissue is being regenerated at a rapid rate, and most women have some discomfort for the first 3 to 5 days. It shouldn't be intolerable, and should resolve itself. It it doesn't, then an evaluation of the baby's mouth, his latch, and the positioning used needs to be done so that breastfeeding can continue.

Most women usually resolve this soreness in less than a week. Also, an anhydrous lanolin, sterile, such as Lansinoh, or a triple antibiotic ointment mixed with hydro-cortisone can be used while latching and positioning is being resolved.

I love rough sucking/nibbling.

Me too! We try to see if my hubs can get me off. He finds it totally hot. But yeah I LOVE it and I totally agree, nothing that draws blood. Because that would be a turn off.

I love sucking and teasing. Sucking to make my nipple stick out very far then licking.
