A Recipe for Nipple Play During Partnered Sex

Your sexy, original, full-body guide to making nipple foreplay the star of your next encounter.

Nipples: The two little buttons of pleasure on your chest that are all too often forgotten about. I’ve decided that it’s high time to address this crime of ignorance and bring some real attention to them. No, I’m not talking about a quick kiss your way down to the genitals or a little squeeze during penetration… I’m talking good, hearty, nipple-focused play like you see in my porn for women Titty Titty Bang Bang on Else Cinema.

It’s time to give them the love that they deserve! How could we be ignoring these nuggets of fun? They are a wonderful erogenous zone with more than 800 nerve endings. And, while men and women have more or less the same amount of nerve endings, women's are more dispersed and tend to be more sensitive thanks to hormones. But that doesn’t mean that all genders can’t enjoy a bit of nipple play.

And, did you know that some people can have an orgasm from nipple stimulation alone? Yep, that’s right… a nipple-gasm.

Read on for my recipe for the perfect nipple play. This guide is directed at someone playing with their partner’s nipples, but of course, everything can be adapted for solo or group play!

What Feels Good? Talking Nipple Play Before You Dive In

As with everything you want to try with another person, you must talk about nipple play before you plunge straight in. Some people like to have their nipples played with, and others don't. A simple question to find out if they do is all that it takes.

If your partner is into it, be sure to ask what they like and don’t like. Some like licking, but can’t stand biting. Others like harder play, such as flicking, while others can't stand their nipples being touched at all.

Also, be aware that some trans and gender non-conforming people have a range of feelings about their nipples and chest, so if your partner identifies as such, it’s best to have a good conversation before touching at all.

Finally, I’m sure I don’t need to spell this one out, but as no two bodies are exactly the same, no two nipples are the same. Everyone has a different threshold when it comes to sensitivity, so start slow to find out how sensitive your partner’s are.

Next, heat things up (bring on the tease)

If you have some oil or lotion to hand, start by dripping some of it in between the nipples and rubbing it around the belly, the rib cage, and in between the breasts/pectorals. Don’t touch the nipples straight away; you want to build up some sexual tension first.

Once you’ve spent some time here, you can move closer to the nipple, but don’t touch the areola or nipple just yet! Try kissing, stroking, and licking the breasts/pectorals. You’ll know when it’s time to move closer.

Then, add the fingers

You can try a few different techniques with your fingers, such as a slow, circular motion using your fingertips around the areolas and nipples. You can quicken the pace according to what feels good for the receiver. When you notice the nipples starting to harden, the more sensitive they are to direct stimulation.

You can also try spreading your fingers to massage the whole breast/pectoral area with the nipple placed in between your index and middle finger. When you move your hand up, the nipple will squeeze between the fingers; you can also give it an extra squeeze with some more pressure if they want it.

If your partner likes a harder touch, you can try gently pinching and twisting the nipples. Or try placing the nipple between your thumb and index finger to roll it between your fingers whilst gently pulling it.

Gender Bender

Followed by the tongue

Bring the tongue into the game and you won’t regret it. Start by kissing or licking the entire breast or pectoral area to create anticipation. Then make gentle circles around the areola with the tip of your tongue before finally using it to stimulate the nipple itself. Try kissing, sucking and licking, and ask your partner what feels good. Nipple sucking can also be enhanced by playing with the tender erect tip of the nipple with your tongue, circling or flicking it while you suck. Tongue-based nipple foreplay can feel incredibly intimate, especially when layered with fingers or toys.

For some people, nipple-sucking feels even better when the teeth get involved; in this case, you can try some nibbling and biting. Always start very gently with this to get a sense of what your partner likes and ask them to help you figure it out. Tell them you will nibble super gently and then slowly increase the pressure.

If your partner is enjoying the sensation, you can try using your free hand to mimic your mouth on the other nipple, so that both nipples are being attended to. And when the nipples are wet, you can also try blowing on them to make them cold and extra sensitive.

Finally, an optional garnishing of toys

Fingers and mouths are great, but if you wanna step up your nipple play, you might want to experiment with some toys. You’ve got a lot of options here. Vibrator usage isn’t limited to between your legs! You can grab your favorite vibe and use it on the nipples for some extra stimulation. Some people even report experiencing a nipple orgasm when using suction toys. Trace it in circles all around the breasts and work your way up to the nipple. You can also use this whilst kissing the other nipple for a double whammy. If your partner is enjoying that and you want to splash out on a new nip-specific toy there are also nipple vibrators that come with a suction action as well.

Asides from vibrators, if your partner likes some pain, you could try using nipple clamps or pegs. As the name implies, these babies will clamp down on your partner’s nipples. They can heighten sensitivity while they’re on and can create a hurts-so-good sensation when removed.

Or, experiment with heat by bringing in some ice or some body-safe candles (you can read my guide on wax play for more on this).

Can You See Me

A Final Word From ERIKALUST

So, next time you’re having some sexy time, be sure to bring some extra special attention to the nipples (if your partner wants you to). As we know, we’re all taught sex in such a goal-oriented way, with the focus being on penetration and genital stimulation. Nipples deserve as much attention as any other erogenous zone — whether through nipple foreplay, toys, or mindful nipple play that explores new kinds of touch and connection.

Curious? Here Are The Hottest Films to Find Inspiration

Get ready to see the hottest nipple play in action. These films celebrate mouths that linger, hands that know exactly where to go, and bodies that take their time. Whether it’s gentle sucking, firm pinching, or the kind of teasing that builds until you can't think straight, each scene gives nipples the attention they deserve.

Soft. Rough. Wet. Worshipped. Whether you're into slow seduction, switchy power, or full-on group heat, you’ll find a flavor that fits your fantasy. These aren’t just erotic — they’re real, grounded, and unapologetically hot.

Scroll down, pick your pleasure, and let yourself get drawn in.

The Milf Next Door

When your neighbor asks for a cup of sugar, you don’t usually expect your nipple piercings to end up gliding across her clit — but Sadie Lune doesn’t play by the usual rules. What starts with a knock turns into a deep, physical exchange between two women who are ready to explore, as long as the baby is sleeping.

The Milf Next Door is full of heat, confidence, and bodies in motion, with cunnilingus, solo play, foot teasing, and yes, plenty of nipple contact. This scene plays with surprise, chemistry, and control. Sadie and Dion De Rossi don’t rush it. They know exactly how to stretch out a moment, and exactly when to take it further.

Titty Titty Bang Bang

This one is pure retro pleasure — a playful, sexy ride with big natural breasts, vintage styling, and a beat you can dance to. A straight couple flirts, touches, and moves like they’re in their own world.

There’s a fun, 60’s vibe at the start — all flirtation, movement, and energy. But once the clothes come off, the heat picks up fast. There’s nipple sucking, dancing transitions, and a focus on breasts that feels playful and real. This is flirtation turned physical, fun turned filthy.

Tease Cake

If your idea of fun includes mouths everywhere and fingers going where they’re needed, Tease Cake is ready to feed you. This is lesbian group sex at its wettest and wildest, with full-body attention, breast worship, and the kind of tangled pleasure that doesn’t ask for permission.

Bodies press, shift, and slide in delicious chaos. There’s licking, sucking, nipple teasing, and oral from every angle — and none of it looks choreographed. Just raw, messy indulgence shared between women who know how to share space. Add in a refreshing range of body types, and you’ve got a scene that feels as good as it looks.

Nakki: Spellbound

Sexuality and ritual come together in Spellbound — a dark, earthy vision of pleasure shaped by moonlight, rope, and intention. Luna Kuu is bound in branches, laid bare to the elements, and opened to erotic touch in a way that feels deliberate and grounded.

This scene blends kink with a sense of meaning. You’ll find suspension, pressure, lesbian nipple stimulation, and moments of stillness where breath becomes part of the play. Spellbound isn’t about chaos — it’s about giving in, slowly, and letting every sensation count. Magic doesn’t have to be subtle — sometimes it’s tactile, wet, and tied up in bark and ritual thread.

I've Been So Naughty Thinking About You All Day

Dirty talk takes the lead in this switchy, high-heat scene between Catherine Knight and Tommy Cabrio. Their energy crackles — words turn to commands, hands to spanking, mouths to breast worship, and everything builds with real intention.

This is a study in pressure and payoff. There’s pinching, sucking, dragging tongues and fingers across skin — all framed by verbal heat that doesn’t let up. Nipple play is part of the rhythm, layered into impact and oral with just the right amount of push. If you’ve ever been turned on by someone’s voice alone, this one’s for you.
