Sex and Your Breasts

Three bedroom-related rack-health issues

My nipples aren’t very responsive. Is this normal?

Yes. Though a woman’s nipples are packed with nerve endings, not all chicks get aroused by having them played with.

My breasts hurt after I mess around with my guy. Why does this happen?

Breast tenderness after a bedroom session probably means your man was a bit too rough. Because breasts are sensitive, it may not take much to leave them tender or bruised. If the pain doesn’t go away in ten days, check in with your gyno to see if something else is to blame.

What does my man mean when he says my breasts feel lumpy?

Some women have lumpier breasts than others do, so it could just be the way your boobs are. But if he’s touching them the week before your period, the lumpiness is most likely a side effect of PMS, when hormone changes swell breasts.
