Of all the erogenous zones on a woman, the nipples are arguably the most neglected. Very few men (and women) realize that nipple orgasms are possible.

Well, we’re here to tell you that they are. Once you’ve learned how to give a woman a nipple orgasm, you’ll have one more tool on your arsenal for helping her climax.

What Exactly is a Nipple Orgasm?

You might be wondering, “What is a nipple orgasm, anyway?” It’s quite simple: it’s when you stimulate a woman’s nipples until she climaxes. You don’t stimulate her clitoris or G-spot.

Although it might sound easy in theory, making a woman climax by doing nothing other than stimulating her nipples can be challenging. Fortunately, we’ve got some tips that will make it way easier for you.

Who Can Have a Nipple Orgasm?

Men and women can have a nipple orgasm. You can have one with the help of a partner or by yourself.

That doesn’t mean everyone will have an orgasm through nipple stimulation. Just like other types of sexual stimulation, you or your partner may not be comfortable with it. Or perhaps it just doesn’t “do” it for you the way another sexual activity does. But if you want to give yourself or your partner a nipple orgasm, there are plenty of techniques to try.

Not All Orgasms Start Below the Waist

Most partners falsely believe that all orgasms start below the waist. But as you’ll come to see, this isn’t true. A woman’s nipples have millions of nerve endings, each of which can deliver pleasure. By stimulating her nipples, you can make her climax in the same way that she would if you were stimulating her clitoris or G-spot.

Not only are nipple orgasms incredibly fun, but they’re also different and can add some spice to the bedroom. Nipple stimulation is also very erotic and will cause a flood of “feel good” hormones to be released into your partner’s brain.

The most powerful of these hormones is oxytocin (a.k.a. “the cuddle hormone”).

Nipple Orgasm Tip and Tactics

Here are some tips and tactics for making her climax via nipple stimulation.

Related to this point, we put together an article about the different climax signals here.

Pick The Right Position: By far the best position for this sexual technique is for her to lay down on her back with her breasts and nipples facing the ceiling. She should be completely naked and comfortable.

Start With a Fan: Rather than going straight in and sucking on her nipples, use a fan to gently blow air against her nipples. This builds a lot more anticipation for the sucking and will get her nipples quite hard.

Start Sucking: Once her nipples are hard from the fan, go in and gently start sucking on them. Make sure that you’re giving equal attention to both of her nipples.

Don’t Be Afraid to Gently Nibble: To make the experience spicier, gently nibble on her nipples using your teeth. It’s very important that you make it gentle, otherwise, it could turn her off.

Throw In Something Soft: Even if you aren’t into BDSM, you could learn a thing or two from common BDSM techniques. Every now and then, stop sucking and begin stimulating her nipples with something soft (like fur or a feather). This will make the experience even more erotic.

Massage Her Breasts: While sucking her nipples, make sure that you’re massaging her breasts at the same time. It adds a degree of pleasure and will give her a more powerful orgasm.

Use Oil: If you’re going to massage her breasts (which can make breasts larger by the way) we recommend using oil. There are oils specifically designed for breast massages.

Slapping: If she enjoys it, then gently slap her breasts while you stimulate her nipples. You might be thinking, “But won’t that hurt?” Believe it or not, some women love this kind of stuff.  

Use Ice: Remember earlier when we said that blowing on your partner’s breasts would harden their nipples and turn them on? Well, know that you can also use ice and/or cooling gel to achieve the same result!

Vibrators: Although vibrators are designed for action “below the waist”, they can also be used for nipple stimulation. Simply place it between her breasts or touch it against her nipples to make her wet and, eventually, climax.  

Remember- everything you do must be done slowly, passionately, and with purpose. Don’t rush her to orgasm and don’t just “go through the motions”.

Really get into making her feel good and focus on providing as much pleasure as possible. If you do that, and there aren’t any distractions present, you’re almost guaranteed to give her a nipple orgasm.

Want to Spice Things Up? Use Nipple Clamps!

If you and your partner want to become even more adventurous, then add nipple clamps to your arsenal. As its name implies, this device “clamps” around the nipple.

How tight do they clamp down? It depends on the clamp. Some are designed to clamp down very gently, while others are designed to clamp down more tightly.

Find a clamp that your partner is happy with. There are four types to choose from:

  • Magnetic Clamps: These clamps work by placing a magnet on each side of the nipple to create pressure.
  • Clover Clamps: Due to their unique design, these are the tightest and most intense clamps on this list.
  • Tweezer Clamps: These work by placing a bar around the nipple and then tightening it.
  • Alligator Clamps: These are also known as “clothespin clamps”. They rely on screws to tighten the clamp.

Which one works best for giving a woman a nipple orgasm? It depends! If she likes things a bit rougher, then get the clover clamps. For something less tight, go with magnetic clamps.

The tweezer clamps can also be very erotic if she’s into that. Also, you don’t need to spend money on these tools if you don’t want to. Regular clothespins will also work.

Make Her Nipples Ultra-Sensitive With Breast/Nipple Pumps

Do you want to make her nipples even more sensitive (and thus give her more pleasure)? If so, give breast/nipple pumps a try. This sex toy is a lot of fun, isn’t difficult to use, and doesn’t cause any pain. And best of all, it can lead to very intense orgasms.

Using a nipple pump can increase sensitivityHere’s how it works: the device draws blood to the nipples, which makes them engorged and extremely sensitive to stimulation.  Once her nipples are ultra-sensitive, you can use the techniques above to make her climax.

Most breast/nipple pumps are straightforward and easy to use: just place the “suction” part against her nipples and then turn on the machine.

The device will create a vacuum that will pull on the nipples, creating pressure. This will draw a lot of blood to the area, causing her nipples to become extremely sensitive. They’re not that expensive and are a great way to spice up your sex life.

Troubleshooting – Why Isn’t She Climaxing?

Women aren’t like men. Generally, it takes a lot more effort for a woman to climax in the bedroom than a man. If you’ve followed the tips in this article and she’s still not having an orgasm, then you’re doing something wrong.

Below, we’re going to show you the most common reasons why women fail to have an orgasm when they’re getting their nipples stimulated:

  • Lack of Patience: This isn’t something you should rush. Whether she climaxes in 10 minutes or one hour shouldn’t matter. If she feels like you’re rushing just to get it over with, she’s not going to orgasm. Let her know that you’ve got all the time in the world.  
  • Distractions: Have you ever been having sex, only to get distracted by your phone or the television? If so, you know from firsthand experience how this can ruin the mood. When trying to give a woman a nipple orgasm, it’s essential that you eliminate all potential distractions.  
  • It’s Painful: Whenever you begin experimenting with things like breast/nipple pumps, clamps, or ice gels, it can be a little painful. Some women like a little pain as it can add to the excitement. But if it becomes too painful, it becomes distracting, and then she can’t climax.
  • You’re Not Mixing It Up: All women are different. Some women can climax just by having their nipples sucked on for a few minutes. Others may require you to spice things up using oil, ice, and more. If you’re not mixing it up, it could be a big turnoff for her.  

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, she won’t orgasm. Why? It’s tough to say. It’s possible that she simply can’t orgasm from nipple stimulation alone.

If that’s the case, you’ll need to stimulate her below the waist to make her climax.

Also, just because she doesn’t get off with nipple play alone, that doesn’t mean the attempt was a failure. Stimulating her nipples beforehand can make her more likely to climax during vaginal sex.

How to Give Yourself a Nipple Orgasm

Man or woman, single or partnered, it can be fun to experiment with solo sexual activity. If you are looking for something a little less vanilla, then consider giving yourself a nipple orgasm.

The majority of techniques above can be used by yourself. In general, the steps to give yourself a nipple orgasm should include:

  • Setting the mood
  • Getting comfortable
  • Taking your time
  • Experimenting with toys and techniques

Just as if you were performing this on a partner, you should start slow and get to know what you like and don’t like.

Parting Thoughts

We hope that you’ve enjoyed this guide on how to give a woman a nipple orgasm. Our biggest takeaway is to experiment with the various tips and tactics listed above.

Some like clamps, while others prefer not to use them. It’s all about personal preference, so the better you know your partner, the more likely you are to make them climax via nipple stimulation.
