A discussion of Womens’ Breasts and Sexuality
By CARLY STERN, HANNAH ORENSTEIN, Nondescript In CT, & zipado 321 . Listen to the podcast at How To Sex.
We’ve spent a good amount of time and attention on a man’s physiology and the impact on sexuality. Now lets discuss a woman’s breasts. They are often called tits, a term originating from the French word, tetons. You’ve also heard the terms; boobs, knockers, puppies, milkers, bust, mammaries, and other slang descriptives.
Let’s start by discussing the variety of female mammary glands, worldwide. A global study recently published several findings. Let’s look at what the Daily Mail website has to say.
America, the busty-ful!

Sweet Land of Lib-bra-ty! A new study found that American women have the biggest natural breasts in the world. Scientists measured the breasts of women in 108 countries, excluding anyone who’d had breast surgery, was pregnant, or was breastfeeding.
American women revealed as having the biggest natural breasts in the world, while Brits come in fifth and Filipinos are last.
Researches measured breasts of women born in 108 countries; excluding those who’d had breast surgery, were pregnant, or were breastfeeding. The results clearly found Caucasian United States Americans have, on average, the biggest breasts, followed by Canadians and non-Caucasian U S Americans. Women in Europe tend to have bigger breasts, while women in Africa and Asia (particularly Southeast Asia) have smaller ones.
In a not-entirely-surprising bit of news, American women have been found to have the biggest breasts in the world.
A group of researchers conducted a study; for science; to compare the average natural breast volume of women born in 108 countries. Excluding women who’d had surgery, were pregnant, were breastfeeding, or had been pregnant within the past 12 months, the scientists found that those born in the USA has significantly more ample assets.
In the study published in The Journal of Female Health Sciences, the researchers broke down countries from the bustiest to the most flat-chested, analyzing the mean volume and cup size of each nation.
Nearly 400,000 women around the world were measured for the study, which used EU bra sizing for consistency. While all of the measurements used measuring tape, some also employed ‘visual examination’ and 3D scanning.
Interestingly, the study actually listed averages for Caucasian United States Americans and non-Caucasian United States Americans, finding that Caucasian United States Americans had the highest breast volume of all, with a volume of 1,668ml and a cup size higher than an D, in US sizing.
Non-Caucasian Americans were still found to be quite busty, with an average volume of 1,089ml and a C cup in US sizing.
Again, these measurements exclude women with breast implants, meaning the difference in size is due to natural factors, like hormones in meat (though the study didn’t examine contributing factors).
The researchers did find, however, that obesity played little part in the relative size of breasts; the average breast volume was found to be large regardless of body weight, with even athletic and slim women being large-breasted.
Canadian women followed Caucasian United States Americans; and the average of all Americans; with an average cup size of C.
Ireland came in third, Poland in fourth, and the United Kingdom in fifth, with an average B cup in US sizing) and volume of 879ml.
While there are certainly some outliers, most countries’ average breast size seems to correspond with the region of the world they’re in.
The biggest breasts are mostly in North America (though Mexico’s average cup size is an AA and Europe, with The Netherlands and Iceland also placing in the top ten.
Most African countries fall into the bottom half of the graph, while Asian countries; particularly those in Southeast Asia; tend to be home to women with the smallest breasts.
On average, the smallest breasts in the world were measured in the Philippines, followed by Malaysia, Bangladesh, Samoa, and the Soloman Islands.
In addition to ranking countries, the researchers also found that most women are wearing the wrong bra size; with more women believing their cup size to be larger than it is.
The 8 Most Common Nipple Types and What You Need to Know About Them
Nipples come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors.
BY HANNAH ORENSTEIN 2022
You probably know that breasts come in all different shapes and sizes, but did you know the same goes for nipples? Actually, there are eight different kinds of nipples, says Dr. Tsippora Shainhouse, a board-certified dermatologist and pediatrician. All nipples are normal, and in fact, it’s possible to have a combination of two or more types (like protruding and bumpy, or flat and hairy). It’s also possible that your nipples don’t exactly fit into any of these categories; and that’s totally normal, too.
Before we break down the different types of nipples, it’s helpful to familiarize yourself with the anatomy of the breast and some definitions you may not know. You most likely have heard the terms nipple and areola before, but there’s a chance you might now know exactly what they mean. The nipple is a small projection located at the center of your breast, while the areola is the pigmented circular area surrounding the nipple, according to the Cleveland Clinic. This area looks different from person to person.
Now that you know a little bit more about the nipple, it’s time to get into the specifics. Below, we break down everything you need to know about the eight different types of nipples in the world.
Protruding Nipples:
Protruding nipples are those that are raised a few millimeters above the surface of the areola and point outwards. When cold or stimulated, the nipple can harden and become more pronounced. Women with significantly protruding nipples tend to draw attention, whether they want the attention or not. A contemporary fad is for women to have their nipples pierced with a post affixed from one side to the other, which further enhances the nipple, and showed even through multiple layers of clothing. Protruding nipples are associated with a state of sexual arousal, and many women will maximize the appearance, to signal their sexuality, to others.
Other women may feel shame for having protruding nipples, fearing others may inaccurately associate this natural variation with lustful preoccupations.
Flat Nipples:
The entire nipple is flat and tends to remain level with the areola. Like a protruding nipple, a flat nipple may harden and become more pronounced when cold or stimulated. But sometimes a woman with flat nipples may not have any protrusion, even during a climax.
Puffy Nipples:
The entire areola and nipple area looks like a small, raised mound on top of the breast. The nipple can harden and become more pronounced when cold or stimulated.
An inverted nipple retracts inwards. Sometimes, you can use your fingers to bring it out, but sometimes, the muscles are too tight.
Inverted Nipples:
A further variation of this is the Unilateral inverted nipple. One nipple is raised, while the other is inverted. If you’ve always had unilateral inverted nipples, that’s perfectly normal. However, if this is a new development (as in, your nipples used to both be the same and now one is inverted and the other is raised), it might be a sign of breast cancer, infection, or injury, according to the Cleveland Clinic, so schedule an appointment to see your doctor.
Bumpy Nipples:
It’s common to have bumps on the areola surrounding the nipple. These bumps are called Montgomery glands and can sometimes look like whiteheads. You might be able to squeeze dead skin cells out of them, but don’t play with them. Every person with breasts has the glands, but some people are bumpier than others. The aeriola has several milk ducts, and these openings often result in a textured skin.
Hairy Nipples:
Stray, dark hairs, growing out of the areola area, are normal. Everyone has hair follicles, but some people are hairier than others. They might be fine or coarse. It’s safe to pluck them out with a tweezer. Just be careful; the skin is super sensitive down there.
Supernumerary Nipples:
Some people have extra, smaller nipples, but they’re typically harmless and not very noticeable. They tend to either look like flat moles, or like a fully-formed, raised bump. Some may have them removed by a medical professional.

A discussion of people’s nipple & breast preferences.
By Nondescript In CT
I’ll first disclose that I’m a middle-age man. It appears to me that, as expected, overall size of a breast is a factor to a woman’s appeal. There is definitely a sizeable and candid “bigger is better” contingent out there. What I have found interesting is that there is an equally represented “smaller, firmer” faction. What I have also found interesting is who, in general; tends to be in which group.
Grande Rack
Younger, testosterone-driven males tend to express more preferences for the bigger breasts. Although there does tend to be an upper limit for most; ‘roughly larger than a volleyball’, they do not appear to differentiate further; natural or implants, nipple length or circumference, even color of nipples and breasts don’t appear to factor in much. This is the “Great Rack!” crowd that loves the restaurant “Hooters;” and keeps girly Magazines in business. Don’t misinterpret; I do not criticize or belittle this group. I have merely noted certain other common interests members of this group tend to have; in general.
Women with large breasts tend to have one of two general viewpoints. One viewpoint is the “eye contact” group. These women are frustrated at the attention their breasts draw; guys don’t make eye contact but just stare openly at their chest. They tend to have almost a combination of shame and anger at their situation. These women pretty much stay away from a breast or nipple-associated forum; they don’t like theirs so they certainly don’t want to see or talk about others. I know one large-chested woman in her 50s who has spent so much of her life trying to de-emphasize her breasts, she almost always walks with her arms folded across her chest and never wears anything that would reveal even a hint of cleavage.
The other viewpoint of women with large breasts is what I call the “Oh, yeah!” group. These women love the fact that they have large breasts. They like the attention they get because of them and will do things to emphasize them. They are also not above using their…assets to their advantage; everything from getting out of speeding tickets, to making a sale or getting a promotion can be accomplished, at least in part, by using their breasts against men susceptible to their power and influence. I have not had much intimate relations with large-chested women, but I have had some candid discussions with some. What I found most interesting about the sexual side of large breasts is that it is not necessarily a male power/control “thing” when a guy “titty-fucks” a woman. That was always my assumption, but more than one woman has informed me that they like it also. They can get a sense of power and control over the man by doing this; “I can get you off with just my breasts.”
Girl Next Door
Who would you guess to be in the “smaller, firmer” coalition? It is my observation that women of all ages and older, more mature men tend to express preference for breasts in this overly-simplistic category. The women expressing interests in breasts appear to view the entire shape and symmetry of the breast and nipple together. They don’t tend to focus on the extremes; very long nipples, huge breasts, etcetera. Breasts that are firm, capped with an erect, well-defined nipple and those that have a bit of a natural “teardrop” droop with a modest but well-defined nipple appear to be favorites. The interests of older men in smaller breasts can be best summarized by the “mouthful” paradigm; more than a mouthful is unnecessary. Oh, don’t be fooled; those guys have no problems with large breasts per se, but they are old enough and wise enough to know that breasts are a source of pleasure for a woman, more so than they are for a man. I must admit that I am a member of this group. We love everything about breasts, but we are most interested in using them to pleasure our partners, and the smaller breasts are more, manageable. There is also a subtle, rarely discussed concern on our part that if we spend a lot of time on foreplay with breasts on a large-chested woman, she may think we are actually in the more superficial “bigger is better” contingent. If they are average-sized, or smaller breasts, our attention on them rarely gets misinterpreted.
Unlike the “bigger is better” group, there are well-defined sub-groups in the “smaller, firmer” group. The most well-known would be the “itty bitty titty committee.” The ranks of this group tend to be filled by women with very small breasts and men who love a long, hard nipple more than the surrounding breast. I love this group for two reasons. First, I find women who are comfortable and proud of their breasts regardless of size and shape to be very comfortable and open about their sexuality. That is always a huge turn-on. The other reason is that I am one of those men who cares more about the nipple than the breast as a whole. I find it much more erotic to have a long, hard nipple in my mouth or fingers while a woman expresses her enjoyment of associated feelings and sensations, than to have really large breasts that have wide, semi-flaccid nipples that don’t have the same effect on the woman under similar ministrations.
School Girls
There is also the “school-girl” sub-group. Women with a youthful appearance and small, firm breasts are the preference for this group. I call it the “school-girl” group because the women of interest to this group tend to be young; breasts that may still be developing and are therefore small and firm. To me, this may be the most controversial and divisive group there is. There is almost a stigma associated with being in the “school-girl” group. If an older male expresses an interest or approval of a young woman with small, firm breasts, that opinion is derided with the offending party being labeled a “dirty old man.” Terms like “jailbait” and “help her with her homework” are slung to belittle and demean the choice, even in a friendly, “all-opinions welcome” forum such as the Nipples forum I introduced at the beginning.
I would also place Asian women as a subject of interest to this group. They tend to have a very youthful appearance and smaller, firmer breasts than their Caucasian counterparts. What I find interesting is that those expressing a preference for “Asian women” also tend to be drawn to Caucasian women who skew younger, smaller and firmer, but they won’t necessarily admit to this due to the “stigma.” I would challenge all of them to review a stack of 100 black and white photos, full frontal (face obscured) and side view (without showing face, butt or legs), of Asian women and Caucasian women with dark pink or brown nipples. I seriously doubt they would find any of the Caucasian women any less attractive or desirable than the Asians. Don’t get me wrong; my point has nothing to do with race. I love women of all races equally. My point is that I feel the Asian “lovers” that ridicule those that prefer young, small and firm Caucasians are simply being hypocritical.
Finally, there is the wrath of the more mature woman (say 35+) to a man expressing appreciation of a young, small and firm woman. Again, they don’t appear to be as vocal about a man expressing a liking for Asian women, just when they express similar thoughts and opinions about a Caucasian woman. It is as if they consider the Asian preference a perfectly healthy and acceptable fetish, whereas a preference for Caucasian women with similar physical characteristics is seemingly akin to pedophilia.
My overall preference is for mature women; I find their intellect and comfort with their sexuality to be very attractive and erotic. However, some young women can convey that same self-confidence and desire borne of self-awareness, and these women I find equally attractive. If they happen to be an 18 year old, small and firm Caucasian, so be it. However, if a woman with those characteristics happens to be an attractive 50 year old African-American grandma with very large breasts, I would probably gravitate to her more than to the 18 year old. But I can still find the 18 year old to be attractive without being a “dirty old man.”
It is sad that there are social issues concerning nipples and breasts. It is not fair that a woman with large breasts may feel compelled to hide them, but it happens. Men should not be made to feel guilty at finding a young, nubile woman to be attractive, but in today’s climate of sex crimes, that also is a fact of life. As stated previously, nipples and breasts are good and an endless variety is truly a gift for us all to enjoy.
After all, even the holy clerics of multiple world religions agree with the text of scripture which says;
“Enjoy the wife of thy youth, and let her breasts satisfy you at all times.”
Let’s finish with an essay from a buxom college coed.
My Boobs
A 22-year-old reflects on growing up with a big chest.
By zipado 321
Right now, I’m a 22 year old girl with a 38D-cup chest. It’s official: I’m a college gal with big boobs. I recently had a late-night chat with a friend who is pretty flat chested, and I walked away with a new appreciation for my breasts– and I realized the impact they have had on my life. She made me realize that being busty had encouraged my sexual side to come out at times when for her as a petite girl she had more of an option to think things out.
It all started when my breasts started to appear early, a good six months before anyone else in my class of 200 even could think about boobs. I’ll admit it was a weird experience for me. I didn’t have any friends in a similar situation, I didn’t have an older sibling, and I wasn’t close with Mom like I am now. So I decided to hide my ever-growing chest. Maybe, I hoped, I wouldn’t have big boobs like she did. I was able to dance around the issue by wearing sweaters and other baggy clothes, but Mom finally caught on and by the spring I was in my first training bra. I felt so incredibly embarrassed and for a little while I stupidly blamed my Mom somehow. By the end of the year the word was out in school: I was the first girl in the grade with boobs. It definitely effected me because I stuck out like a sore thumb—never a good thing in middle school. The other, more popular girls resented it, and the boys didn’t know how to react to it. I started to keep more and more to myself as my chest grew, and by the end of middle school I was one frustrated and fed up girl.
That all would change in high school and I knew it. I walked in the first day as a freshman girl wearing a 36D cup bra and a tight white t-shirt. That definitely stuck out, but I quickly learned it made me stick out differently than in middle school. My chest was a good thing now. It got me attention and it made me finally feel appreciative about my breasts. Kids in the older grades noticed me and I quickly fell into an older crowd. I just loved the attention from the juniors and seniors, but with it came the pressures of the older high school kids, namely drinking and sexual stuff. I had personally ruled out having sex just to be popular, but I figured less than that was just having fun.
As the other girls in my grade were going out on first dates, I was in the basement of a party with a drunken senior’s hand on my breast. As other girls were enjoying Christmas break by having their first kiss, I was nervously being pressured into jerking a guy off—I just had to, I was told, because my tits had turned him on so much and he needed a release. As other girls were being felt up for the first time, I was pressured more and more often into giving blow jobs to a particular guy I liked. I had told him I wouldn’t swallow (it really scared me then, but looking back I’m not sure why). When he complained a lot and implied I was getting to be no fun, I ended up telling him that I still wouldn’t swallow, but he could cum on my naked breasts. He eagerly accepted and I felt happy that once again my big boobs had saved the day.
What was weird about all of that was figuring out what I meant to people. I knew I really enjoyed the power and pleasure of being sexual. Each time I was there on my sore knees, my eyes closed tightly, reaching for a tissue to wipe some guy’s cum off my cheek, neck, and breasts, I felt that I was the real winner there. I was getting attention and appreciation for being the person that I was, I thought. But I also knew deep down that in one way nothing had changed. I was once the middle school girl with “the big boobies.” Now I was the high school girl with “the big tits and nice mouth.” Girls my age still resented me, and guys my age and older still couldn’t figure me out, even if they did enjoy using me. I was getting tired of being the young and easy chick and decided that guys couldn’t get with me so easily. Suddenly I was spending a lot more time alone again. For the rest of high school, and since then, I won’t usually put out unless I’m in a relationship, and I certainly feel better about myself.
But still I know when a guy says he loves me, even if he means it, my breasts have helped him come my way. Not that I don’t love sex, because I’m still very sexually minded! I guess I’m just not sure if my big breasts brought me increased sexuality, or if my already high sexuality has fit well with my big breasts. I really really love being sexual and even though my breasts have given me a different road to take. Each and every time I feel a hand on one of my breasts I feel a rush of gratitude and shame at the same time. I love the feeling but I wonder if I’m still that teenager appreciating being humiliated by an older guy as he cums all over me.
I’ve known since puberty hit that having a big chest makes me different, and if I have the proper outlook, they can make me special.
