Numb nipples

by Tira8, Jul 02, 2008 01:31PM
Does anyone know anything about nipples? I have recently discovered that I feel virtually nothing in my nipples. I can touch a pen lightly to my skin on my chest, arm etc and feel it, but if I touch it lightly to the areola, I feel nothing. I feel slightly more on the actual nipple itself but not . I have discovered I can dig my nails into my areola quite hard before I feel any pain. This numbness means I get no sexual stimulation from my nipples. I feel like I'm missing something and I think my boyfriend is slightly disappointed / alarmed about this discovery. As far as I know, no part of the body should be numb.

Having tried to find possible causes by searching the net, may I add that a) I do not have giant breasts - in fact, they no longer fill out an A cup, and b) I have not had breast implants.

Any advice would be welcome. Apologies if this appears a trivial topic, but it is important to me.
