If you thought the only way to climax during sex was through intercourse, hi, you must be new here. Everyone knows you can get orgasms through, clitoral stimulation, oral and even anal. But now the game has changed completely, because nipple orgasms exist and this is a complete guide on how to get one.

Firstly, how is it even possible to have a nipple orgasm?

Long story short, nipples are really sensitive and have loads of nerve ending. So when they're played around with, research shows the same regions of the brain are activated as when there's stimulation of the vagina and clitoris. It's completely possible that playing with your nipples can induce twitching and contractions down there, which could lead to a genital orgasm.

Playing with your nipples also releases oxytocin, the hormone responsible for making you feel bonding and closeness. So it's not surprising that a recent survey of 4,500 people by Lovehoney revealed 63 per cent engage in some form of nipple play. And the best thing about nipple orgasms? Everyone with a nipple can have them! That's right, male nipple orgasms exist.

What's it's like to have a nipple orgasm

Firstly, I had to speak to someone who's actually experienced one, to get the best advice. Sarah*, a 20-year-old student at Coventry University, told me exactly how it feels. She said: "It’s kind of hard to describe. It’s not like a normal orgasm. You know when you tense your vagina?

"Well if you do that while your nipples are being stimulated it makes the tensing feeling more intense. And if you keep doing it, it builds up into an orgasm."
