What is a breast orgasm?

Breast orgasm can be achieved by stimulating the whole area of breasts or nipples. Breast orgasm is supposedly achieved with special massage techniques which cause strong arousal and lead to an orgasm, which is heavily connected with the hormone oxytocin. Levin Roy explains in his article in the first issue of sexologist newspaper, Sexual & Relationship Theory, that this hormone is secreted during sexual arousal. Some scientists have also proven that the hormone is secreted especially during stimulation of woman's breasts.

Men's Health magazine introduces breast orgasm through a research done by Dr. Herbert Otto, who discovered that breast orgasm can be reached when the whole sensation is concentrated on the breast area, and also claims that breast orgasm is the second most often type of female orgasm. Barry R. Komisaruk and other authors of the book The Orgasm Answer Guide also discovered that breast orgasm is triggered because the stimulation of breasts causes the arousal of certain brain neurons, where the sensor for the activation of the arousal in the genital area is situated.

What do statistics say about breast orgasm?

Dr. Otto tested 213 women volunteers and 23 percent of them experienced breast orgasm once or more times. According to a research conducted by Marshall Miller and Dorian Solot, breast orgasm is experienced only by 1 percent of women. Breast orgasm can also be reached by some pregnant women while breastfeeding because the baby sucks on their nipples.

Hormones oxytocin and prolactin, which are secreted during breastfeeding, considerably increase sexual arousal and many women come close to reaching a breast orgasm during breastfeeding. Women with smaller breasts are supposedly more likely to achieve it than women with larger ones, says Levin Roy. Even though breast orgasm is quite rare, stimulation of breasts heavily influences the state of sexual arousal, which was also proven by Roy.

How to achieve breast orgasm?

Breast orgasm is not easy to achieve and some special preparations are necessary, as with any other sexual arousal. Not many women will be thrilled if you roughly pinch her nipples or knead them between your hands right at the beginning, but they will enjoy gentle circling and licking around the nipples. Don't forget to focus on the whole breast area and don't do it only for a few seconds, because it will be of no avail. In order to encourage her to become sexually relaxed and to achieve a breast orgasm, you have to perform the massage and stimulation for at least 20 minutes.

Women at the web portal Sex Kitten advise to you to start by gently stimulating the nipples, which are the most sensitive erogenous zone on the breast area, because a rough touch could easily lead to pain. This should be followed by a massage where their partner first holds the breasts with both hands and massages them with all the fingers, except for the thumb, and then massages the nipples with circular movements. It is recommended to use some massage oil and make sure that your hands are not cold. The nipples can also be aroused with a feather and you should also not forget about kissing the breasts, advises the manual Secrets of Erotic Massage.
