Breast Facts

Because breasts are such a focal point of female sexuality, I thought you might find some of the following information of interest:

• It's very common for a woman to have breasts that differ in size, just as she may have one foot that is bigger than the other. The body is not perfectly symmetrical.
• During arousal, a woman's breasts swell by up to 25%, and her nipples may become very hard.
• Many women have hair around their nipples.
• About 10 percent of women have inverted nipples.
• Breasts are mostly fatty tissue which isn’t terribly sensitive to caresses and kisses. However, because the nipple itself and the area surrounding it (the areola) are full of nerve endings, they’re very sensitive to touch.
• Men also have many sensitive nerve endings in their nipples and can become very excited by nipple kisses and manual stimulation.
