The answer is different from woman to woman. My wife doesn't like them being played with at all. One girl I was with when I was younger liked them to be bit and sucked on really hard, the next one like gentle teasing. It's one of those things that needs to be communicated between partners. Just like some guys like teeth dragging during a blow job and others...not so much. Each person has there own personal preferences.

Mammary tissue and nipples are differant between individuals just as Buck Naked said. There is even differances in sensitivity during a woman's menstrual cycle so what your partner likes at the beginning of her cycle may change throughout her cycle. Hormones play a big part. Differant stages of arousal can also play a part too, some women prefer a lighter touch untill they are fully aroused while others need the opposite. It just depends. The best person to ask about her preferances and needs is the partner you are with.

I really get turned on when a guy plays with or sucks my nipples! I also like to have them pinched when we are doing it - pinched hard but not too hard where it is really painful.

Along with the insightful information, above, are these considerations:

* Breasts vary in sensitivity and tenderness throughout a woman's cycle
* Nipples vary in sensitivity depending upon how aroused a person is
* Some women find that nipple stimulation is both enjoyable and helpful right up to the brink of an orgasm and beyond
- Other women find that nipple stimulation distracting and bothersome the closer she is to climaxing
* Just as with men, you may discover that one nipple is more reactive than the other
* Just as with men, you will discover that a woman is more into nipple play, later, the more aroused she is
+ Be gentle, not rough, unless she tells you squeezing, tweaking, or, twisting are OK and when
+ Explore dry caresses vs. wet and when one is preferred over the other
* Explore and learn together then use the information for her pleasure in the future

I enjoy numerous types of stimulation, depending on my mood or on the sex

This is what I enjoy and when I enjoy it

During rough sex
- Grasping breasts in both hands roughly
- Biting nipples slightly
- Sucking on my entire breast, as if trying to put the whole thing in his mouth
- Sucking on nipples slightly harsh
- Penis carressing nipples
- Penis slapping my breasts
- Grabbing them in both hands while he slams into me

Um.. "Medium" sex, as in not rough but not "making love"
- Moving the tip of his tongue up and down quickly across the tip of my nipples
- Licking nipples
- Kissing nipples
- Sucking on breasts
- Grabbing breasts and slightly squeezing
- Slight pinching

Making Love
- Kissing nipples softly, slowly
- Sucking nipples gently
- Carressing breasts with his hands
+ I love when he moves his hand(s) up my shirt slowly and then cups my breast(s)

I orgasm with nipple play much easier than vaginally. Oh hell, I will orgasm with nipple play alone! I just have one problem, getting the guys to pay attention to it. Even when I say something, they tend to stay focused on vaginal stimulation which doesn't get it done for me. I think my wires are crossed.

My advice for the guys: If a woman openly tells you that nipple play makes her orgasm, don't ignore them during intercourse.

I am always amazed how hard you can squeeze nipples.
