Dear cabeachbum,

Here is your reply from a woman and a doctor of human sexuality:

Nipples are indeed made from erectile tissue and will get hard with stimulation or when it's nippy [pun intended] outside. But by the same token, without continuous stimulation, nipples contract and lose their erection rather quickly. The interesting thing is that the average woman doesn't pay that much attention to her erect nipples after sex, mainly because there is so much else to pay attention to - engorged vaginal tissues, or a throbbing clitoris, for example. So if you asked the question "how many providers are ushering their hobbyist out with hard nipples," I'd say not too many. Because that would mean that they'd be ushering him out while in high excitement mode. And hopefully, that's something the hobbyist would have wanted to take care of before he leaves the encounter .

Lastly, I will say this - nipples can get stimulated and hard without someone having had a great session. Of course some women can experience orgasm merely from nipple/breast stimulation - that's not unusual. But by the same token, there are many women whose nipples get rock hard without ever having an orgasm - and I don't just mean from nipple stimulation, I mean in any which way possible.

If you want more providers to answer this question, however, please post it on the General Discussion board for increased readership.

Have a semi-serious evening
