SPEAKING OF NIPPLES

Most of us like to have our nipples played with. But some of us like our nips to be played with hard. "I'm mostly not into pain," says one eager nipple fan. "But the sensation of another guy working over my nipples sends me right over the brink - really gets me off."

A guy's tits can be both tender and tough. Your hardwiring matters; some men (and their mammaries) can take rougher stimulation than others. Much Much rougher.

Many a brave bottom takes as much as he can and then just a little bit more. An obliging top will be more than happy to give it to him.

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.
