Plenty of things can make nipples sting and sing, and some of them - fingers
and mouths - come as standard bodily equipment. Just plain digits can be
fiendishly effective, whether twisting, pinching,
pulling, or attacking with fingernails. A mouth, meanwhile, can dole out both
agony and ecstasy,
alternating nibbles and bites with licking and
sucking. "I just love," says the aforementioned tit freak, " to have some dude
come down on my tit, then suck hard."
If a top would rather keep his mouth and hands occupied elsewhere, tit
clamps can serve as a stand-in. Clamps need
not be fancy; even plain spring-action wooden clothespegs will do the
job. (And, as an added plus, clothespegs are readily available when you bring
a shag over to your granny's house.) But clamps can also be fancy; the
ever-inventive Edisons of sex gear have come up with a panoply of tit toys.
Narrow clamps can concentrate the pinch nastily. Other
clamps are broader, sometimes even padded, and therefore more bearable
during extended play. Many top-of-the-line clamps have adjustable levels of
squeeze. And most pairs of clamps are connected by chains, which can be
lightly tugged on for extra sensation; some pervs even hang light weights from
them.
Of course, tit clamps aren't the only way to make nips stand up and take
notice. Those into hot-wax play find the nipples a terrific target for drips
of molten candle, second only to the dick and balls in
sensitivity. Hot!
And then there are piercings. We don't advise doing any piercings yourself. Any play
that breaks the skin requires excellent technique and fastidious infection
control - the low supply of blood to the nipples makes for slowish healing and
a highish probability of infection. Permanently pierced nipples provide
hardware to tug on, hang weights from, or otherwise twist and tug. But not
everybody's tit rings can take strenuous play. "My nipple piercings can get
irritated really easily," says one piercee, "so when someone starts doing
pull-ups on my nipple rings, I tell them to back off."
But be it pain, pleasure, or both, nipple fun can be one of the
most exciting things to happen to a chest.
