same as lawrence, if i do it intentionally it feels good and just feels ticklish otherwise and varies from person to person
i do have to say yaois are right in that repeatedly playing w your nipples makes them more sensitive over time. before it used to be just a vague feeling, but now they're pretty sensitive
most of what yaois depict are simply fan service in the end though
I imagine they'd be no more sensitive than a woman's nipples.
Both men and women have the same amount of nerve endings in their nipples.
as someone else said, women and men have the same amount of nerve endings. some people just happen to be more sensitive than others.
Actually, though some if it is fan service, there is some science behind the idea that men would have more sensitive nipples/breasts. Infants, regardless of karyotype, start out with more or less the same breast tissue. The natural release of hormones as we age is what causes changes. As some have already noted, there are the same number of nerve endings; what they are not accounting for is that this means that the same number of nerve endings can be spread out over different amounts of tissue. Men generally having rudimentary/minimal breast tissue and smaller nipples (because nipple and areola size are primarily related to breast size, and to a lesser degree other factors) means that the nerve endings in a more concentrated area. Ergo greater sensitivity. Likewise, women with very large breasts tend to have much less sensitivity.
Hi, um...I wanted to ask any male bodied persons if your nipples are as sensitive as yaoi manga leads us to believe? In my experience w males they've all said it's not. Is it just fan service? Or is it a real thing?
It's honestly for research for the yaoi fics I write...my ao3 id is sailo_rjune if anyone is interested; i'd love some much to make more friends. My yaoi twitter is absolute trash but it's @shounenice if you'd like say hello or anything<3 thanks so much for your time :)
