Sexpert Q&A: Are Men’s Nipples Sensitive?
Are men’s nipples really that sensitive? I wouldn’t think so. What would make them so? -Brad
Dear Brad,
The sensitivity of a person’s nipples is very individual, regardless of a person’s sex. Both men and women may have nipples that are incredibly sensitive or that have no erotic response whatsoever. This gender similarity is due to the fact that the nipples of both men and women are surrounded by smooth muscle fibers that cause them to become erect, e.g., when aroused or cold. When stimulated, they fill with blood, becoming even more sensitive for some people.
While the stereotype is that men cannot have sensitive nipples, some men beg to differ. Many of them have nipples that are actually more sensitive than those of their female counterparts. Many of them enjoy nipple stimulation.

I have found that my boy friends nipples are very sensitive. In fact they are more sensitive then my own. He gets very turned on the rougher I am with them.
My husband’s nipples are very sensitive and he enjoys me stimulating them as he does mine!
At first I was embarrassed by the fact that my nipples were so sensitive and arousing, but my wife and I both discovered that it added another level of erotic excitment to our lovemaking too!
My husband doesn’t like to have his nipples stimulated.
Thank you for discussing this health issue. I am 28 years old male, and my nipples are way to sensitive. I get more pleasure by nipple stimulation, than anything else, plus it’s much longer pleasure. It gives me the best sexual experience a human being can feel. They are a way too sensitive and react instantly to touch.
