It may sound like a made up orgasm but the mysterious nipplegasm is certainly a real thing. What exactly is it?

Nipple stimulation releases oxytocin, which can cause the uterine and vaginal contractions associated with orgasm bring more blood flow to the genitals, and for some women, cause an orgasm.

Nipples (the breast, nipple & areola region) are packed with nerve endings that make them ideal for pleasure.

In 2006, the first scientific survey questioning men and women about their experience of nipple stimulation was conducted. Results indicated that nipple stimulation was reported to enhance sexual arousal in 82% of women and 52% of men.

Nipples are wired to the same location in the brain that inputs sensation from the clitoris and vagina.

There are many reports that nipplegasms pleasure intensity ranges from a small sigh-like type of orgasm to the mind blowing toe-curling variety.
