When people hear the word "nipple," most often their minds picture a woman's. Nipples and breasts just seem to go together in most people's minds.
But of course, men have nipples, too. Even though men's are the only nipples we are allowed to see in public, they are oddly mysterious, overlooked and ignored. What are they even for?
The nipple and areola are two different things. Think of a bullseye: The nipple is at the center and the areola is the darker skin that surrounds it.
During early development, just after fertilization, male and female embryos start out alike, with the same genetic material. In the first four to five weeks, nipples start to develop, but it isn't until after six or seven weeks that the sex chromosomes (XX for female or XY for male) assert any differences. So most humans have nipples in common.
But why would a body go through the effort of growing nipples if they have no use? Actually, male nipples do serve a purpose, although it's one people don't often discuss. According to one study , for almost 52% of men, nipple stimulation enhances sexual arousal. So a majority of men report erogenous uses for their nipples.
Still, male nipples are relatively mysterious. Here are # things you might not know about them.
Structurally, men's nipples are no different from women's. They're all exactly the same. Sure, the amount of breast tissue and glands surrounding the nipple might differ, but the structures themselves are just the same.
Nipples, for both men and women, are considered to be "specific" erogenous zones (as opposed to "unspecific" places on the body like arms and legs). This means that both men and women often report sexual arousal with nipple stimulation.
But not ALL men or women. Not all nipples are sensitive, and sensitivity likely has little to do with gender (although males' nipples may actually have more nerve endings ).
Stimulation of the nipples can produce an rush of oxytocin and prolactin in the brain that triggers such intense feelings of pleasure that some people achieve orgasm from nipple stimulation alone. Both males and females report having these "nipple orgasms."
Sensitivity isn't always a good thing. During sports or while running, many men suffer nipple chafing, especially with certain types of fabric. Many use creams, barriers, or bandages to prevent chafing.
A nipple is just a mammal's means of feeding their offspring. The nipple's entire purpose is to enable babies to drink milk. Think of them like twin spigots. And since both male and females have mammary glands, this means that yes, the rumors are true: Some men can breastfeed.
Although the mammary glands are usually smaller in males, and milk production requires the production of prolactin (a hormone men don't usually produce), there have been rare instances where men were able to produce prolactin, make milk, and even breastfeed. It is a condition known as male galactorrhea and it can be caused by certain medications, pituitary or thyroid issues, tumors, or malnutrition, among other reasons.
Some people—men and women—have more than two nipples.
Before and during the 1800s, a man's extra nipple was considered a mark of virility.
Some people are born without nipples. Athelia is the absence of one or both nipples. It is a rare congenital condition that can occur on one or both sides. But some people have no nipples by choice. Some trans men choose to leave the nipples off when they have top surgery.
Genetics plays the biggest role in determining what nipples look like but overall, nipples come in several different "types": protruding or flat, everted or inverted, or a combination of these looks. And while we're at it, we might as well mention the wide range of size, shape, and color options. The average areola is four centimeters (about the size of a quarter) in diameter and about three times the size of the nipple , but again, size and ratio fluctuate widely, from dime-sized to half-dollar.
Not only do nipples come in all shapes and sizes, but no two nipples are exactly the same. Yes, that means its 100% normal if your left nipple is different from your right.
Those bumps in the areola (also known as Montgomery glands) surrounding the nipples contain glands and hair follicles, and both men and women have them. The hairs that grow here are often darker and wirier than the hair on your head.
Gynecomastia—an enlargement or swelling of male breast tissue—is a fairly common condition, especially during puberty, where hormones cause the tissue under a male's nipples to grow. Gynecomastia can effect one or both sides and sometimes becomes quite pronounced—enough to earn the title "breast" or "boob." This often happens early in puberty. Many report that their nipples are uncomfortably sensitive during this surge in hormones, but the extra swelling and sensitivity usually goes away within about a year.
A man's nipples will often change over the course of their lifetime. There are several reasons for this. Puberty causes nipples to grow and darken, but fluctuations in hormone levels can cause changes to the nipple later in life, also. Areolas are part of your skin, and this means they can stretch, especially when you gain or lose weight. It is not uncommon for nipples' size, color, and sensitivity to change over time. Weight gain or loss can also effect changes.
An "inverted" or "retracted nipple" is when the tip of the nipple pulls inward, below the surface of the areola. The condition is not rare and affects anywhere from 2 to 10% of people. Sometimes this is a permanent condition (congenital inversion), and sometimes it's a temporary reaction (to cold temperature, for example). Warmth and/or stimulation is usually enough to push the nipple back out. In most cases, an inverted nipple is a natural, harmless, normal thing.
Hard nipples are sometimes a sign of sexual arousal...but not always. There are a number of other explanations, including cold, friction, allergies, or sensitivities to fabric, food, or laundry detergent. Nipples have a mind of their own, no matter how embarrassing it may be when they assert themselves in public.
Even though at close range you can't tell one nipple from another , men's nipple are not illegal anywhere in the U.S., but laws about women's bodies are stricter (and much harder to interpret). Additionally, they vary from state to state, and most don't state explicitly what the laws forbid. Instead of clear policies, there are ambiguous phrases and vague warnings against exposing "intimate" or "private parts,” and this leaves the power of interpretation in the hands of police.
Men are also at risk for breast mastitis, and the nipple might show the first signs of an underlying condition. Redness, scaly dryness, discharge, or sudden nipple inversion are all signs to look for.
Women's nipples are against the law...but men's are not.

It's likely his are even more sensitive than yours...
Because finding new ways to touch, tease, and pleasure your partner is simply the best, we're going to clue you in on one lil secret secret: You should be stimulating your man's nipples—like, every time you have sex.
Why? Because neglecting your man's nipples would be a big mistake. Huge! Especially if you want him to experience some fireworks.
In the same way your nipples are probably a super-hot erogenous zone , it's the same for men. And actually, your guy's nipples might even be more sensitive than yours since men aren’t used to having them touched—or at least touched as often.
“With males, the nipples serve no other function aside from being an erogenous zone. But everyone is different, and what might feel good to some might hurt, tickle, or irritate others,” says sexologist Carlos Cavazos . “For many males, nipple play is required to achieve orgasm. For others, the pure act of nipple play can bring them to an earth-shattering climax,”
In fact, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health, 52 percent of men reported that nipple stimulation caused or enhanced their sexual arousal.
Our advice: Use these tips and tricks below to drive your man crazy. It works. Really.
As with anything sexual, some people might be into nipple play while others might not be. Sex coach Jenn Gunsaullus , PhD, says an easy way to test the waters is to start by simply stroking his chest playfully. From there, you can ask him how it feels and casually go from there.
Communication is key: "Ask him questions like, 'how do you want me to touch them?' and 'When is the best time to touch your nipples?' suggests Marla Renee Stewart , sexpert for Lovers sexual wellness brand and retailer. "These questions will help you to get more clarity about what your lover likes and doesn't like, and will help your sexual experience to be a smooth one."
Seems counterintuitive, but trust me for a second. “Straddle your partner and run your fingers through his chest area, avoiding the nipples at first," suggests Cavazos. "Then, gently run your fingertips from the top of his chest toward the navel, making sure to come in contact with the nipples. As you continue, bring more attention to his nipples and see how he responds." The goal here is to tantalize and tease to the point that he's low-key aching for you to touch his nips.
If you're at a loss for things to do once you actually start playing with his nipples, there are plenty of moves to try out so you're not just sitting there confused. CalExotics’ resident sexologist Jill McDevitt , PhD, suggests rubbing them first in a circular pattern then switching directions.
Use your fingertips, your nails, and even your full palms for different intensities. You can also try rubbing back and forth or up and down, varying your speed to see what he responds to. If he's not used to nipple play, he's on this journey with you, so don't be afraid to experiment and have fun. Laughter eases tension and aids in arousal, after all.
Once you're interacting with his nipples, try using more than just your figures for pleasure. Cavazos advises using your mouth to tease the nipples with a light blow to increase their sensitivity before you trace the outline of the nipple with your tongue.
If the whole using your mouth thing is working out, feel free to explore with licking, sucking, and biting, says Cavazos. "Just remember to start slow and build up. You want to build up anticipation, pleasure, and comfort level.”
No matter how great something is, repetition can get dull, so try changing up your moves. Dr. McDevitt suggests "licking his nipples with a flat ice-cream-cone-licking tongue" then teasing him by "licking across the whole chest and crossing the nipple as you go.” Not knowing what to expect creates an even greater tension build.
Consider using your lips for other things when you're licking and playing with his nipples, suggests Stewart. Try talking about fantasies, engaging in some super passionate kissing, or even humming against his nipples to create a vibrating sensation.
Seriously, try it. If your man is feeling the nipple play, Coltrane Lord , sex and intimacy expert and author of The Kinky Vanilla Love Project: The Sexy Soulful Journey From Betrayal to Bliss suggests upping the pressure and giving his nips a tweak. Just make sure to check in and see how he feels before, during, and after since the pleasure/pain combo might be new to him.
Pleasure preferences really vary depending on the person and even the moment, notes Cavazos. "Some men seem to get pleasure from light touch and subtle sucking or flicking with the tongue. Others aren’t as sensitive and need more intense stimulation like pinching or harder sucking," he says. Mix it up depending on the mood to see what you both like.
Chances are you have a vibrator or two lying around (if not, please buy one. Please). Experiment with the different settings on his nipples to see what feels good. Best case: He loves it. Worst case: Your vibrator is already out so like, might as well use it on yourself. Also, don't just limit yourself to traditional vibes . Lord suggests whipping out your suction toys and using them on his nipples for a whole other sensation.
If he seems receptive to the toy idea, why not get a set of nipple clamps to elevate the experience? You'll obvi want to make sure he's into the idea, but if so, take it slow and gradually build the intensity. If you don't feel like buying something, just grab some clothespins and use those to see if you'd be down to get something a lil fancier. Also, pro tip from Lord: "Keep [your toys] in a nice box so it’s sexy—not clinical.
Temperature play is a must-try no matter what area your stimulating, and the nipples are very responsive, which makes them especially fun to manipulate with a lil heat. For a hotter vibe, erotic educator and founder of Organic Loven , Taylor Sparks, suggests utilizing some hot wax or warming massage oil/lube . Just make sure to test the temperate out on the sensitive area of their inner wrist before moving to the nipples.
Odds are you already know cold temps make your nips stand up at attention, so use this trick when going at it with your guy. Sexologist Megan Stubbs suggests rubbing an ice cube on his nipple or dripping the cool, melting water on his chest. Sparks also notes you can use stainless steel toys for temperature play as well. Take a steel dildo and put it in the freezer or warm water then rub it on his nipple for some mess-free play.
If you're not ready to drop some coin on new toys (or don't want to get anything nipple-y without first seeing if he's really into it), you can literally just grab some household items to switch things up. Lord suggests using a feather to tickle his nipples, a rubber band to lightly snap the areola, or even the back of a cold spoon to make them erect and ready for further stimulation.
It’s always good to keep the lines of communication open to see what your man prefers when it comes to his nipples, says Sparks, so play with different levels of softness and firmness. Certified sex therapist for AdamEve.com Jenni Skyler , PhD, says to start by simply lightly caressing with your finger and tongue. "Ask your man if he wants more and if yes, move to light biting and scratching," she advises. "If he wants more, pick up the intensity with some harder biting. "Make sure you are always checking in before moving forward”
