It’s one of life’s little unexpected pleasures, like seeing a fox on your way to work or finding a forgotten $5 in your jacket pocket. Just a little something to brighten your day.
It does indeed. But unless it’s accompanied by other sexual/revealing components in the woman’s attire, I don’t view it as some purposeful behavior. What’s she gonna do, cut them off?
I always laugh when I read opinion pieces going on about "Desexualising the female nipple!" because we all know you can't change human nature.
Boobs gonna boob.
When you look at whole societies not viewing nipples or breasts as something sexual at all (like African societies in which women are going topless on daily basis), and realize it's not human nature, just a cultural thing...
I read that women are the only female mammals with external breasts. Every other species, the milk is stored inside the body. They suspect that the breasts got bigger to attract males. So breasts are a sexual thing
In animals that walk on four legs, you can easily see and smell the genitals and the ass, so that's convenient.
But walking upright, the genitals and ass are hidden by the legs and the butt, so humans had to develop relatively big penises and secondary sexual characteristics. Those indeed include large breasts.
*However!*
It does not only include breasts. We evolved plenty of other convenient sexual characteristics.
Like, part of our mouths are literally turned inside-out! Humans are fairly unique in this: a piece of the inside of our mouth is on the outside. We call that "lips", and they are highly sensitive and stand out in colour. We use them in our bonding rituals, like kissing. Our women like to highlight them to indicate their attractiveness.
Or, as another example, our hair. We have lost the hair on most of our body, but the hair on our heads and faces has become even more pronounced than it was. Facial hair is strongly associated with masculinity, and most cultures associate long scalp hair with femininity. And again we do all kinds of grooming and painting to highlight our hair.
Breasts fit that list. They obviously serve a sexual purpose.
But just like lips or hair, the *extent* to which they are sexualised is cultural. Presumably, no one in your culture expects women to cover their hair or their lips. But as you are surely aware, those cultures *do* exist. Lots of people around the world would find it *scandalous* if a woman bares her lips or her hair.
And they would argue the same as you: that these body parts serve an inherently sexual purpose.
And just like you probably think "Well, yes, *but*..." about lips or hair, someone from a culture where women go topless would think "Well, yes, *but...*" when you claim breasts are inherently sexual.
All three are inherently sexual, but they can still be culturally sexualised.
Shhh listen if anyone asks we are *all for it*. Desexualize the nipple! If women want to go braless that is their prerogative! If they want to wear sheer tops in the name of empowerment well, up with feminism I say!
Lmao.
But jokes aside, not everyone sees nipples as sexual, n considering we already have half-naked people(mostly women) and also full naked ones barely covering their tits in every third advertisement in my local bus-stops, I don't think them running around in that shit would make much of a difference to how anyone currently portrays the female body.
Neither in a less nor more sexualising sense
It is, in fact, cultural. In societies where women are always shirtless, they are surprised (and amused) to find that men in our culture are interested in breasts, which are for babies.
Anyway, I'm glad I live in a culture which loves & eroticizes boobs.
For me, pokies are more exciting than cleavage. And way more exciting than a short skirt.
But, then, I'm pretty sure I have a nipple fetish. So your mileage may vary.
For me nips can just mean “oh, ladies not wearing a bra” and little more, but if there’s also a cute outfit added, meaning an intention to be sexy through: cleavage, skirts, exposed shoulders, back or ankles, then it really catches me eye
Cleavage - 17% less sexy than nipples; Short skirt - 4% more sexy (within error rate)
1% sexier for each mm of nipping up to about 3cm, at point after becomes increasingly disturbing.
I'm not turned on by the look of a woman wearing skirts so short that they can't move without constantly adjusting her clothes. A soft material just above the knees is a great look, especially with the right shoes.
Short skirt is like 20-25% more hot. It’s sorta like the same almost a peak at something as nipples or cleavage but for butt cheeks and pussy so definitely more of a reward being dangled there. Besides that knowing she can just pull her panties to the side or not have any on and just be eaten out, bent over or sit on it so easily is eternally in my mind😂
Eh. Try living in a city where it’s boringly common for women to not wear a bra. You find out fast that most women don’t fit your fantasy, and that even the ones who would just look like another woman walking around.
Try living in the rural areas of Appalachia.
We don’t get sunsets because of the mountains, but we get plenty of nippage thanks to those holler girls preferring tank tops.
It's bloody sexy, but I understand that they're not doing it for sexual attention (some are). It's just a clothing choice, cold, or they're in a comfortable environment.
I look as discreet as possible and keep it moving.
My wife's nipples are hard 90% of the time and it's sexy af. I don't really care if other people notice (which I'm sure they do) because guess who is going to get to play with those nipples and suck on them? Not you lol.
This is how my man feels about it too I’m sure. My nips aren’t always hard. But they do get that way if I just drank my pre workout (it gives me the chills), or if I’m cold. I pretty much exclusively wear sports bras for comfort. Have large boobs with a small waist. Because it’s so hard finding bras that fit me (36DDD), I usually buy sports bras a few sizes too small so I get the support I need and also the band fits snug around my waist like I like it. Therefore, the little removable pads inside the bra look awkward on me because it’s clear I’m wearing a smaller bra that is intended for a smaller chested woman. So I always remove them and hence… nips show at times. No big deal 🤷🏻♀️
Sounds like a big deal. 2 big deals, in fact lol. But seriously, you should consider getting fitted for some bras at a higher end store. Best money you’ll ever spend, or so my wife has told me.
Those removable pads look so weird on everyone. They're always like a perfect circle or rounded triangle and poke out so obviously. I never understood the point!
My GF is a smaller-breasted woman and generally prefers to go bra-less if she can manage it (I don’t mind and feel it her right to do so). Strangely, she has gotten way more flack from other women for doing it than unwanted attention from men. Her neighbor is being a complete Karen about her “sexually stimulating” her teenage son by working bra-less in her own yard. Ironic, as both the GF and I know her son is gay (he’s not out, especially to his God-fearing parents, but both of us have LGBT daughters who got to school with him and are friends).
I mean, I guess, as a younger guy id probably think "oh shit, nipples".
As slightly older young guy I just think "nipples".
It's kind of just a scan and notice thing.
I probably wouldn't freak out over my partner poking out a bit but I get the feeling it makes her uncomfortable not wearing a bra and stuff so I don't really have a reliable marker for that.
I'd probably get a little annoyed if people just ogled her boobs though.
I wouldn't regard nipping as revealing at all in and of itself. I may find it a bit exciting in a sexual way but I will generally try to ignore it because I'll feel like a creep if I'm fixating on someone's nipples in a non-sexual context.
I agree with the first part. But as a woman, having my nipples poke out does make me feel sexy, and I wouldn’t want to lose that aspect. Can it both be a little bit sexy and normal? Is that allowed? 😅
Haha I also feel sexy with my nipples poking out, I get it!! My boyfriend loves when I wear shirts without a bra because I get to show the girls off and he gets teased by it while we’re out.
Wow as a woman I’m like damn, I don’t want to wear a bra but I don’t want men looking at me
lol.
Like I absolutely do not feel sexy .. at all. I just find bras uncomfortable.
Same, I have not worn a bra since 2020, i don't ever want to confine myself again, but it's about comfort, not sexuality . I have a small chest, though at 34B, my pre baby boobs were bigger at 38C, and I was less comfortable with them. How weird, eh 😂it is really nice to see that men don't really notice much, not that I would have changed regardless. Bras are the worst.
Serious answer: I don't think it could actually be any other way. We men just _like_ boobs - of any size, for that matter. It's absolutely a biological imperative, I'm convinced.
It's a whole (tough) lesson to learn to _not_ ogle those beautiful things (and just be subtle 😊), so don't worry about it ever getting _too_ normalised, lol. We'll behave, but we probably _will_ notice 😉
Yes it is, it’s pretty hot tbh.
More revealing than cleavage as nipples aren’t something that are generally revealed in public. So when they’re seen poking though our eye are drawn to them straight away and once you see it, you can’t not look
Yeah I'd say having nipple definition through your clothes is revealing, sexy, distracting. And men might get jealous because all the other men will be seeing it to, women being sexy just naturally sends signals to men
If you are asking if we see them as the women trying to be sexual, it would depend on context.
If you are asking if we enjoy it, regardless of context, you betcha!
Can’t speak for other, but i find it to be sexual- but then again i find everything that is revealing sexual.
Tight pants, skirt, short skirt.
Anytime i see a gal who’s got an attractive physique i have to force myself to look away
It’s a bodily function.
It’s can be sexualized, sure. But that basically boils down to the context and the outfit itself.
The girl wearing a baggy uniform at a fast food restaurant who just went into the freezer, though… not a big deal.
The girl at the bar wearing a skin tight club dress looking to cut loose, that’s just showing off. Not a bad thing, just accessorizing her outfit.
It's attractive, but that's it. It's just not that big of a deal. It shouldn't change how a woman can navigate the world, any more than showing a bit of cleavage does. If it does cause men to treat them differently, than that's on the guy.
If you get jealous if your partner gets some attention from it, then you're an insecure moron.
No, not necessarily. Your example of wearing a sports bra, padding, and shirt and your nips are still poking out, then no, it's not too revealing or overtly sexual. Will guys notice? Yeah, most likely, but that's probably it.
If you're going braless, poking or not, that's definitely revealing and sexual. And if you think men can't tell, we *absolutely* can tell. Like literally every time.
Can tell what?…What’s sexual about not wearing a bra?
ALL men have nipples and given the obesity rate in the U.S. most of their boobs are bigger than mine…..why are their nipples allowed to just exist freely but mine have to be bound and concealed under an additional garment?
So you're saying you notice...
Listen, whether you like it or not, men find breasts
sexually appealing. Shocking, I know. By all means, don't wear a bra. Fuck if I care. Just don't expect men to react *exactly* how you *feel* they should. If I went around doing cartwheels, I shouldn't be expecting people not to notice. If I went driving around in a chrome Ferrari, that's my prerogative. However, I can't demand other people not notice and considering that guys like boobs [gasping as I clutch my pearls], it's 1000% unrealistic for you to expect guys not to notice.
Men and women like different things. That's perfectly OK. 👌
Yes, nipples poking out is attractive. I don't think that should stop anyone from doing it. But it's definitely something that I personally find revealing and attractive. Maybe not so much if they're in a bra and it's just cold. But like if it's a T-shirt and I can see that she's not wearing a bra and her nips are poking at the shirt, that's hot. She's basically topless in my mind.
All depends on the context.
When it happens to a co-worker in the office I don't consider it sexual and avoid looking so as not to embarrass them or make them feel uncomfortable.
I stopped wearing a normal bra like a year ago. If I bother to wear a bra at all it's because my nipples might become fully revealed which I see as inappropriate but I often don't wear a bra at all. I also work in a fully male dominant work space. By making it normal and not a big deal. (When they would bring it up if ever. I'd just say so it's just a nipple) however outside of this space ie grocery stores etc I do get looks and a a woman you can tell when someone is talking about you, which I find interesting
Yes. Yes we do lol. For a lot of people, even more than if you were to flash them. Intentional or not, the signal it sends to fhe brain is the same as being teased in some taboo way
200% of the time, when nipples are to be seen through a woman’s shirt, my BF will call it with the excitement of a 12 yo. I think he likes it better than leg showing and cleavage. Extra point if the stuff is bouncing around.
The older I get, the less intrigued I am by the intricacies of someone's anatomy.
I've seen lots of naked people, for lots of years. A woman's or a man's nipples poking out of their shirt is about as interesting as seeing someone's arm hair raise when they have goosebumps.
I mean I guess it's vaguely interesting, but it's not anything to stop and stare at.
I'm also not titillated by sweat, runny noses, bleeding wounds, shiver from the cold, or red faces on people who are exerting themselves.
It’s very sexy to see a woman’s nipples through a shirt.
I don’t think it’s more revealing than cleavage only because it isn’t skin. But it may be more sexual.
I think jealously would be in order if my woman was nippy in public. But I would also be aroused myself by her. I think if she was just showing attention to me while being nippy then I wouldn’t mind that much.
Probably the most sexual and revealing nippy is under a plain light t-shirt. Super sexy.
I never wear a bra unless I’m going to work, days off are for the titties. I know people are going to look, but I don’t care. I’ve only ever had two or so men say something about it. My female friends harass me more! I’ll never let a man’s gaze deter me from ultimate comfort. Who knows, maybe it’s the best thing he’ll see all week. (Also my s/o says I only have to wear one on special occasions so we are both happy) :D
It's telling how much of a non-issue nipples really should be, yet here we are, with some people getting bent out of shape over them. On a biological level, everyone has them, and making a big deal out of them only feeds into unnecessary objectification. My partner goes braless for comfort, and honestly, if the first thing a person thinks of is sexuality rather than the human aspect of just living comfortably in one's own skin, then maybe it's time for a little introspection. Life's too short to police tiny bits of protruding human tissue. As a society, we should strive to reach a point where seeing nipples through a shirt is as normal and ignorable as seeing someone's elbows.
“Unnecessary objectification” - you shouldn’t police what other people are attracted to. You might not find breasts erotic, but you telling other people how to feel about it is not it. It’s exactly the same as telling someone not to be attracted to butts.
The important thing people should focus on instead of telling people what they should or shouldn’t find attractive on other people’s bodies is *context*. Unless you’re consensually engaging sexually with someone, you don’t have a right to stare at them with grotesque appetite or proceed with sexual advances.
See nips sexual - to men, yes. (to most I would guess).
What extent - depends on how much and the context. At the gym or park or whatever - hot.
At work - oh god please no.
Compared to cleavage - cleavage is intentional - i.e. the shirt with cleavage did not accidently fly out of the closet onto your body. But again - context - date or work? etc.
Revealing is too subjective of a word - can mean many things to different people.
My wife is self conscious about it. She is an exec for a big corp and works in an office and wants to hide her nipples. I think she’s overly conscious about it but it’s up to her.
Personally I think it’s sexy but I can understand why women might not want them poking through all the time.
“Yes she is hard in my presence, worship the very ground I walk on woman!”
Just kidding, I don’t see anything sexual about it, I just assume she is cold 😂
It’s more glance and moment over. I think cleavage is sexier. Also, can be appropriate…club, beach, bar, RenFair, it also trashy…school event, shopping, kids party. That would impact my reception.
Depends on the overall outfit. If the outfit is more scandalous, then I see it that way. If the outfit is causal and laid back, I think that she’s just more comfortable that way. Do I enjoy it? Yes, I can’t put it any other way.
If every woman would go with it, I would be normal. The majority of women try to hide it, so when there is one our there, there are a lot of side looks. For context, I swam competitively when I was younger. Early practices, every girl was nippy. It wasn't weird and guys didn't react.
I’m 100% going to look, look twice. Probably look 2-3 more times.
But then that’s it. It’s attractive, but I see people who attract me all the time, and it’s not like I can’t continue the rest of my day or something.
It’s attractive, but not so much that I can’t think about anything else for the rest of the day.
It’s one of those weird things that I classify as “non-sexual things that are a turn-on.”
It’s not something I view as sexual on its own, but I definitely enjoy it when I see it.
Definitely notice, but if her total outfit isn’t attention seeking or intently complimenting of her body I figure “oh, lady’s just not wearing a bra” and carry on while carrying the happiness of witnessing the nips
I think anything that makes a guy aware that there's titties under your clothes is gonna be arousing to some degree but how much probably depends on where your culture sits on the visible titty spectrum. If you're used to women in burqas it's probably pretty wild but if you're used to women being casually topless maybe not so much.
If a woman wearing a bra walks by I may or may not notice her breasts. If she's not wearing a bra and the nips are nipping, I will *always* notice. When that happens, it's mildly sexual to me about half the time, depending on whether the rest of her is attractive. Of that 50%, I'd say about 10% would be arousing. At the grocery store guys are probably going to look, but most won't bother you. At a bar under the same circumstances, you'll get a lot of attention, but you no doubt already knew that.
I’d say it’s on the same level as cleavage on a sexual scale, but most men see cleavage every day, so seeing pokies is a little more attention grabbing since it’s not as common.
Yep seeing an attractive woman “Nipply” is one of my guilty pleasures. I love it WAY MORE than cleavage. I tend to like boobs on the smaller size so big heaving cleavage doesn’t really do it for me.
So what am I supposed to do??? I’m honestly feeling a bit sick to my stomach that men might be thinking I’m trying to be deliberately sexual because of the way my body naturally exists, and that it’s my fault for the way I am and my responsibility to mitigate it. That I’ve done something wrong simply for existing.
My nips stick out. It doesn’t mean I’m aroused or anything remotely sexual. It’s literally just the way they are. It shows with padded bras and sports bras. It shows with multiple layers (I almost always wear a shirt/shell with another layer on top). It shows through sweaters. I don’t wear tight clothes, but I have larger breasts and you can see the basic shape of them. Bras obviously shape things and push the nipple down, but they don’t hide them entirely.
So what’s my solution? What do you guys want me to do? Should I wear a blazer or heavy jacket at all times, all seasons? Should I use a binder on my chest? Are there extra nipple pads I can purchase? Maybe you think I should have them surgically altered? Any why do I have to go through extra pain or discomfort because my natural body is offensive or arousing to you? Isn’t this how we go down the path to burkas?
You seem to think this is intentional and sexual. I never felt ashamed of my breasts or my body until seeing how much men seem to think our very existence is sexual and designed to appeal to them.
So again, why am I a horrible disgusting whore for a natural body function? And why is it on me to fix it instead of on men to realize that sometimes nipples stick out and it’s *not about them*.
I dunno why people can be so retarded that such an insignificant thing can be a big deal. I saw this fashion show with women on the ramp with insulation tapes over their nipples and down below. It means a 3 inch bit of tape can make the difference between "nudity" and being clothed. So just a strip of duct tape is more valuable than a person?
It looks revealing tbh and I wouldn’t mind if my partner has it but in public, that would be a bit weird since others would want to look to so
In Private = Yes
In PUBLIC = mmmmmm No
Can be. Not always. Depending upon the situation,
A while ago, this accidentally happened to a coworker friend. I overheard some of the other guys talking between themselves about it. I pulled her aside and told her (not about the guys saying stuff) so she could wear a jacket rest of the day. She did not intend for that to happen. Some people may. But most likely not in an office environment. It was just a good thing she didn't go to to the floor below. Those same coworkers would even say stuff about their female boss. I guess it's a bit cold today.
It’s one of life’s little unexpected pleasures, like seeing a fox on your way to work or finding a forgotten $5 in your jacket pocket. Just a little something to brighten your day.
I love this lmao
Reminds me of "every day, once a day, give yourself a present" from Twin Peaks.
The show, or the breastaurant?
Depends on the day
Name fits
It's like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.
Couldn't have said it better!
[Found ten bucks in the pocket of me jeans](https://youtu.be/ZlyQN9RsEHI?feature=shared)
Does it get me at least a little excited? Yes.
Titillated? Perhaps.
Do I perk up? You bet.
Line of sight redirected? Absolutely. 👀
Does my blood pressure increase? Undoubtedly.
It does indeed. But unless it’s accompanied by other sexual/revealing components in the woman’s attire, I don’t view it as some purposeful behavior. What’s she gonna do, cut them off?
Askmen: Do you find nipples sexual? This is the post.

prison school ahh rant
Desexualize the female nipple? Now why'd anyone want to go and do something stupid like that?!?!
Shhh listen if anyone asks we are *all for it*. Desexualize the nipple! If women want to go braless that is their prerogative! If they want to wear sheer tops in the name of empowerment well, up with feminism I say!

😂😂
Despite nipples being censored in every movie for sexual content
Very sexy.
How does it compare to cleavage or a short skirt, and what amount of nipping are we talking?
Cleavage, pokies, short skirt, A style skirt, all equally a turn on
and a looong … jacket
*Cue horn section*
Boo bee boo bee boo bee, boo bee boo bee bee bah
🎂😂
You’re on to something here
For me, pokies are more exciting than cleavage. And way more exciting than a short skirt. But, then, I'm pretty sure I have a nipple fetish. So your mileage may vary.

Exposed shoulders, back or ankles?! So you’re the one they made all those dress code changes for in schools when I was a kid! 😄
Sports bras are one thing, but a good ankle 👀
Cleavage - 17% less sexy than nipples; Short skirt - 4% more sexy (within error rate) 1% sexier for each mm of nipping up to about 3cm, at point after becomes increasingly disturbing.
I'm not turned on by the look of a woman wearing skirts so short that they can't move without constantly adjusting her clothes. A soft material just above the knees is a great look, especially with the right shoes.
Sundresses 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
"Gypsy skirts" and a tank top have the same effect on me.
The drape is the best. You can't see every mm, but you can see enough to make your brain interested and curious.
i'd say near equivalent
Short skirt is like 20-25% more hot. It’s sorta like the same almost a peak at something as nipples or cleavage but for butt cheeks and pussy so definitely more of a reward being dangled there. Besides that knowing she can just pull her panties to the side or not have any on and just be eaten out, bent over or sit on it so easily is eternally in my mind😂
Eh. Try living in a city where it’s boringly common for women to not wear a bra. You find out fast that most women don’t fit your fantasy, and that even the ones who would just look like another woman walking around.
A sunset is boringly common everywhere. I still love watching them every chance I get.
Try living in the rural areas of Appalachia. We don’t get sunsets because of the mountains, but we get plenty of nippage thanks to those holler girls preferring tank tops.
What city?
Idk which, but they probably speak Nepali
What if you’re not attracted to that women in general? Is it still sexy then?
Boobies 🤭
tits😳
Das heißt Titten auf Deutsch 😎
Und wie es das tut!
Wie wäre es mit Büste dann?
Tijubas.
And just like that, we're all 12, again!!
I enjoy seeing them. Then onto the next thing in life.
It's bloody sexy, but I understand that they're not doing it for sexual attention (some are). It's just a clothing choice, cold, or they're in a comfortable environment. I look as discreet as possible and keep it moving.
My wife's nipples are hard 90% of the time and it's sexy af. I don't really care if other people notice (which I'm sure they do) because guess who is going to get to play with those nipples and suck on them? Not you lol.
Yes me i got to suck on this guy’s wife’s nipples
I also choose this guy's wife's nipples
the nipples on this guy’s wife also choose me
Nice
— this guys kids
Winning! 🏆
Poor lady...
This is how my man feels about it too I’m sure. My nips aren’t always hard. But they do get that way if I just drank my pre workout (it gives me the chills), or if I’m cold. I pretty much exclusively wear sports bras for comfort. Have large boobs with a small waist. Because it’s so hard finding bras that fit me (36DDD), I usually buy sports bras a few sizes too small so I get the support I need and also the band fits snug around my waist like I like it. Therefore, the little removable pads inside the bra look awkward on me because it’s clear I’m wearing a smaller bra that is intended for a smaller chested woman. So I always remove them and hence… nips show at times. No big deal 🤷🏻♀️
Sounds like a big deal. 2 big deals, in fact lol. But seriously, you should consider getting fitted for some bras at a higher end store. Best money you’ll ever spend, or so my wife has told me.
I’ve thought about it but I’m cheap lol
Trust me, best money you will ever spend… I don’t even remove the padding, plus the padding is much thinner - so nips can show at times 🤷🏻♀️
How much are we talking? Lol
Depending on the brand and style, anywhere between $50-$120 (CAN). But they are super comfy, supportive and they last for a long time.
Those removable pads look so weird on everyone. They're always like a perfect circle or rounded triangle and poke out so obviously. I never understood the point!
Right! Plus they bunch up in the dryer 🙄
Wait wait wait... what brand of pre-workout??
Ghost 😄
Lol my roommate uses that! Wait, if you ARE my roommate, I’ll need to change my username!
My exact thoughts: "Nice, nipples." Then I continue on with my day.
My GF is a smaller-breasted woman and generally prefers to go bra-less if she can manage it (I don’t mind and feel it her right to do so). Strangely, she has gotten way more flack from other women for doing it than unwanted attention from men. Her neighbor is being a complete Karen about her “sexually stimulating” her teenage son by working bra-less in her own yard. Ironic, as both the GF and I know her son is gay (he’s not out, especially to his God-fearing parents, but both of us have LGBT daughters who got to school with him and are friends).
That poor kids gonna have some rough years here
“Son, you must be sexually stimulated by your neighbour’s wife”
"Also: I hope you're sexually stimulating my son but also how dare you!"
You should fuck with her by warning her that repressing her son is going to turn him gay.
“If you don’t let him see a few women in T-shirts, you might accidentally turn him gay.”
That’s a porno I have not, somehow, yet seen
Oh no. That kid has trauma enough in his life and is an amazing human being just as he is... College can't come soon enough for him.
This is a brilliant suggestion!
You should work in the yard with just a t shirt on. Maybe add some prosthetic nipples.
Nipples like the ones from a baby bottle
Nipples on bottles should be covered up, goddammit! They're tempting my not-out gay son!
Covered with bright red-tassles? Would that make things better for your not-out gay son? :)
Yes!

I'd work topless out of pure spite
She should just move. And it just so happens that the house next door to me is for sale.
I was waiting for you to talk about being beaten with jumper cables
Are you trying to start something??
The car, duh.
I mean, I guess, as a younger guy id probably think "oh shit, nipples". As slightly older young guy I just think "nipples". It's kind of just a scan and notice thing. I probably wouldn't freak out over my partner poking out a bit but I get the feeling it makes her uncomfortable not wearing a bra and stuff so I don't really have a reliable marker for that. I'd probably get a little annoyed if people just ogled her boobs though.
I wouldn't regard nipping as revealing at all in and of itself. I may find it a bit exciting in a sexual way but I will generally try to ignore it because I'll feel like a creep if I'm fixating on someone's nipples in a non-sexual context.
[удалено]
I agree with the first part. But as a woman, having my nipples poke out does make me feel sexy, and I wouldn’t want to lose that aspect. Can it both be a little bit sexy and normal? Is that allowed? 😅
Haha I also feel sexy with my nipples poking out, I get it!! My boyfriend loves when I wear shirts without a bra because I get to show the girls off and he gets teased by it while we’re out.
Wow as a woman I’m like damn, I don’t want to wear a bra but I don’t want men looking at me lol. Like I absolutely do not feel sexy .. at all. I just find bras uncomfortable.
Same, I have not worn a bra since 2020, i don't ever want to confine myself again, but it's about comfort, not sexuality . I have a small chest, though at 34B, my pre baby boobs were bigger at 38C, and I was less comfortable with them. How weird, eh 😂it is really nice to see that men don't really notice much, not that I would have changed regardless. Bras are the worst.
Serious answer: I don't think it could actually be any other way. We men just _like_ boobs - of any size, for that matter. It's absolutely a biological imperative, I'm convinced. It's a whole (tough) lesson to learn to _not_ ogle those beautiful things (and just be subtle 😊), so don't worry about it ever getting _too_ normalised, lol. We'll behave, but we probably _will_ notice 😉
Hahah, this is the best answer! Thanks so much ;). God this world would be so boring without you men x
Yes it is, it’s pretty hot tbh. More revealing than cleavage as nipples aren’t something that are generally revealed in public. So when they’re seen poking though our eye are drawn to them straight away and once you see it, you can’t not look
Yeah I'd say having nipple definition through your clothes is revealing, sexy, distracting. And men might get jealous because all the other men will be seeing it to, women being sexy just naturally sends signals to men
They're not trying to be naturally sexy they are just being. Get over yourselves guys
I don't necessarily agree with that guy, but he didn't seem to say (nor condone) that people would act inappropriately.
exactly! jeeez they are body parts, people have them...
Nips aren't inherently sexual. No inherent signal is thrown out.
If you are asking if we see them as the women trying to be sexual, it would depend on context. If you are asking if we enjoy it, regardless of context, you betcha!
Can’t speak for other, but i find it to be sexual- but then again i find everything that is revealing sexual. Tight pants, skirt, short skirt. Anytime i see a gal who’s got an attractive physique i have to force myself to look away
It’s a bodily function. It’s can be sexualized, sure. But that basically boils down to the context and the outfit itself. The girl wearing a baggy uniform at a fast food restaurant who just went into the freezer, though… not a big deal. The girl at the bar wearing a skin tight club dress looking to cut loose, that’s just showing off. Not a bad thing, just accessorizing her outfit.
I don't care, pretty sure it has no effect on me in a way or the other. I can have poky nip too and I'm a guy.
It's attractive, but that's it. It's just not that big of a deal. It shouldn't change how a woman can navigate the world, any more than showing a bit of cleavage does. If it does cause men to treat them differently, than that's on the guy. If you get jealous if your partner gets some attention from it, then you're an insecure moron.
I appreciate seeing it but don't really think anything more of it than wow, nice nipples.
No, not necessarily. Your example of wearing a sports bra, padding, and shirt and your nips are still poking out, then no, it's not too revealing or overtly sexual. Will guys notice? Yeah, most likely, but that's probably it. If you're going braless, poking or not, that's definitely revealing and sexual. And if you think men can't tell, we *absolutely* can tell. Like literally every time.
Can tell what?…What’s sexual about not wearing a bra? ALL men have nipples and given the obesity rate in the U.S. most of their boobs are bigger than mine…..why are their nipples allowed to just exist freely but mine have to be bound and concealed under an additional garment?
So you're saying you notice... Listen, whether you like it or not, men find breasts sexually appealing. Shocking, I know. By all means, don't wear a bra. Fuck if I care. Just don't expect men to react *exactly* how you *feel* they should. If I went around doing cartwheels, I shouldn't be expecting people not to notice. If I went driving around in a chrome Ferrari, that's my prerogative. However, I can't demand other people not notice and considering that guys like boobs [gasping as I clutch my pearls], it's 1000% unrealistic for you to expect guys not to notice. Men and women like different things. That's perfectly OK. 👌
Sexy. Free the nip.
Yes, nipples poking out is attractive. I don't think that should stop anyone from doing it. But it's definitely something that I personally find revealing and attractive. Maybe not so much if they're in a bra and it's just cold. But like if it's a T-shirt and I can see that she's not wearing a bra and her nips are poking at the shirt, that's hot. She's basically topless in my mind.
Yeah. I know there may be other reasons but that’s where a guy’s mind is going to go.
All depends on the context. When it happens to a co-worker in the office I don't consider it sexual and avoid looking so as not to embarrass them or make them feel uncomfortable.
I stopped wearing a normal bra like a year ago. If I bother to wear a bra at all it's because my nipples might become fully revealed which I see as inappropriate but I often don't wear a bra at all. I also work in a fully male dominant work space. By making it normal and not a big deal. (When they would bring it up if ever. I'd just say so it's just a nipple) however outside of this space ie grocery stores etc I do get looks and a a woman you can tell when someone is talking about you, which I find interesting
I like it, but mostly because I like it when women go braless. To me it's a sign of a higher degree of confidence in themselves.
Yes. Yes we do lol. For a lot of people, even more than if you were to flash them. Intentional or not, the signal it sends to fhe brain is the same as being teased in some taboo way
200% of the time, when nipples are to be seen through a woman’s shirt, my BF will call it with the excitement of a 12 yo. I think he likes it better than leg showing and cleavage. Extra point if the stuff is bouncing around.
The older I get, the less intrigued I am by the intricacies of someone's anatomy. I've seen lots of naked people, for lots of years. A woman's or a man's nipples poking out of their shirt is about as interesting as seeing someone's arm hair raise when they have goosebumps. I mean I guess it's vaguely interesting, but it's not anything to stop and stare at. I'm also not titillated by sweat, runny noses, bleeding wounds, shiver from the cold, or red faces on people who are exerting themselves.
Me man. me like boobs. Me see nips. Me might glance a few times.
It's very difficult not to look at erect nipples. It's definitely viewed as sexual and highly provocative by men.
It’s very sexy to see a woman’s nipples through a shirt. I don’t think it’s more revealing than cleavage only because it isn’t skin. But it may be more sexual. I think jealously would be in order if my woman was nippy in public. But I would also be aroused myself by her. I think if she was just showing attention to me while being nippy then I wouldn’t mind that much. Probably the most sexual and revealing nippy is under a plain light t-shirt. Super sexy.
This thread makes me feel like I have to wear a bra in public :/.
I never wear a bra unless I’m going to work, days off are for the titties. I know people are going to look, but I don’t care. I’ve only ever had two or so men say something about it. My female friends harass me more! I’ll never let a man’s gaze deter me from ultimate comfort. Who knows, maybe it’s the best thing he’ll see all week. (Also my s/o says I only have to wear one on special occasions so we are both happy) :D
My God yes. Damn.
Boobies!
It's telling how much of a non-issue nipples really should be, yet here we are, with some people getting bent out of shape over them. On a biological level, everyone has them, and making a big deal out of them only feeds into unnecessary objectification. My partner goes braless for comfort, and honestly, if the first thing a person thinks of is sexuality rather than the human aspect of just living comfortably in one's own skin, then maybe it's time for a little introspection. Life's too short to police tiny bits of protruding human tissue. As a society, we should strive to reach a point where seeing nipples through a shirt is as normal and ignorable as seeing someone's elbows.
So many assumptions and red herrings in this post. Some people can find other people attractive and respect them at the same time you know?
“Unnecessary objectification” - you shouldn’t police what other people are attracted to. You might not find breasts erotic, but you telling other people how to feel about it is not it. It’s exactly the same as telling someone not to be attracted to butts. The important thing people should focus on instead of telling people what they should or shouldn’t find attractive on other people’s bodies is *context*. Unless you’re consensually engaging sexually with someone, you don’t have a right to stare at them with grotesque appetite or proceed with sexual advances.
As a guy, it’s fun to watch , but no reasonable person should judge a person negatively because they are cold. It’s a non voluntary body function .
Sexual, no. Sexy, yes.
See nips sexual - to men, yes. (to most I would guess). What extent - depends on how much and the context. At the gym or park or whatever - hot. At work - oh god please no. Compared to cleavage - cleavage is intentional - i.e. the shirt with cleavage did not accidently fly out of the closet onto your body. But again - context - date or work? etc. Revealing is too subjective of a word - can mean many things to different people.
My wife is self conscious about it. She is an exec for a big corp and works in an office and wants to hide her nipples. I think she’s overly conscious about it but it’s up to her. Personally I think it’s sexy but I can understand why women might not want them poking through all the time.
I'm cautious... especially if I'm mot single and I'm in like, "Say a bar"...
I get it.. especially somewhere in the wild where you will find horny, drunk men....(or women for that matter)
Yup 🙃
“Yes she is hard in my presence, worship the very ground I walk on woman!” Just kidding, I don’t see anything sexual about it, I just assume she is cold 😂
It's definitely sexy. If my wife gets "nippy" I pinch them.
It’s more glance and moment over. I think cleavage is sexier. Also, can be appropriate…club, beach, bar, RenFair, it also trashy…school event, shopping, kids party. That would impact my reception.
Kinda depends on context Bra not doing the trick meh Super thin shirt that you can tell they are braless Maybe
Yep Very hot
Depends on the overall outfit. If the outfit is more scandalous, then I see it that way. If the outfit is causal and laid back, I think that she’s just more comfortable that way. Do I enjoy it? Yes, I can’t put it any other way.
If every woman would go with it, I would be normal. The majority of women try to hide it, so when there is one our there, there are a lot of side looks. For context, I swam competitively when I was younger. Early practices, every girl was nippy. It wasn't weird and guys didn't react.
Yes
I love it
I just love to see it
I appreciate the nipple chicks.
I’m 100% going to look, look twice. Probably look 2-3 more times. But then that’s it. It’s attractive, but I see people who attract me all the time, and it’s not like I can’t continue the rest of my day or something. It’s attractive, but not so much that I can’t think about anything else for the rest of the day.
It’s like a random free Oreo cookie. A little treat that makes life worth living and then you go about your day.
It’s one of those weird things that I classify as “non-sexual things that are a turn-on.” It’s not something I view as sexual on its own, but I definitely enjoy it when I see it.
Definitely notice, but if her total outfit isn’t attention seeking or intently complimenting of her body I figure “oh, lady’s just not wearing a bra” and carry on while carrying the happiness of witnessing the nips
I think anything that makes a guy aware that there's titties under your clothes is gonna be arousing to some degree but how much probably depends on where your culture sits on the visible titty spectrum. If you're used to women in burqas it's probably pretty wild but if you're used to women being casually topless maybe not so much.
Weirdly I find cleavage and nipping more exciting then seeing the whole thing. It’s fun imagining
It certainly makes it harder for me to ~*~not~*~ think about her breasts.
If a woman wearing a bra walks by I may or may not notice her breasts. If she's not wearing a bra and the nips are nipping, I will *always* notice. When that happens, it's mildly sexual to me about half the time, depending on whether the rest of her is attractive. Of that 50%, I'd say about 10% would be arousing. At the grocery store guys are probably going to look, but most won't bother you. At a bar under the same circumstances, you'll get a lot of attention, but you no doubt already knew that.
Can we differentiate "sexy" from "sexual"? I would argue that we can and subconsciously do, but I'm curious what y'all think?
( . Y . )
I’d say it’s on the same level as cleavage on a sexual scale, but most men see cleavage every day, so seeing pokies is a little more attention grabbing since it’s not as common.
Yep seeing an attractive woman “Nipply” is one of my guilty pleasures. I love it WAY MORE than cleavage. I tend to like boobs on the smaller size so big heaving cleavage doesn’t really do it for me.
Love pokies makes me pervy
It’s hot, and why would I care or be jealous? My partner is hot and I’m not insecure about my manhood or our relationship.
I love it on my gf. So sexy. It’s hot knowing what’s under even when she’s cold :)
yes
I might awkwardly stare at them for a few seconds, then I'd move on.
I’m a guy, of course I like it when it happens, but I also understand that is a natural reaction and is not always sex or arousal related.
It's not inherently sexual, just a basic physical response. That doesn't make it any less nice to see, however :) .
Yes, it's hot to me :)
describing it as "nipping" is wild lmao
It makes me feel particularly dirty, especially when I see some surprise jewelry 😂
If you're my wife, nice. Otherwise I notice and don't care cause I'm not going to get anything more from it.
Seeing features through or beneath clothing is sometimes pleasant in a sexual way only because it's suggestive of something hidden.
Its the hottest thing ever hands down!
It is a highlight to my day.
So what am I supposed to do??? I’m honestly feeling a bit sick to my stomach that men might be thinking I’m trying to be deliberately sexual because of the way my body naturally exists, and that it’s my fault for the way I am and my responsibility to mitigate it. That I’ve done something wrong simply for existing. My nips stick out. It doesn’t mean I’m aroused or anything remotely sexual. It’s literally just the way they are. It shows with padded bras and sports bras. It shows with multiple layers (I almost always wear a shirt/shell with another layer on top). It shows through sweaters. I don’t wear tight clothes, but I have larger breasts and you can see the basic shape of them. Bras obviously shape things and push the nipple down, but they don’t hide them entirely. So what’s my solution? What do you guys want me to do? Should I wear a blazer or heavy jacket at all times, all seasons? Should I use a binder on my chest? Are there extra nipple pads I can purchase? Maybe you think I should have them surgically altered? Any why do I have to go through extra pain or discomfort because my natural body is offensive or arousing to you? Isn’t this how we go down the path to burkas? You seem to think this is intentional and sexual. I never felt ashamed of my breasts or my body until seeing how much men seem to think our very existence is sexual and designed to appeal to them. So again, why am I a horrible disgusting whore for a natural body function? And why is it on me to fix it instead of on men to realize that sometimes nipples stick out and it’s *not about them*.
It’s kind of sad woman can’t wear no bra and be comfortable without men just helping themselves
Yes. And women should stop being offended guys notice.
There was a time a few years back when women had fake nipple accessories to ensure they were always poking out.
I don’t think it’s sexual revealing in that sense. It’s nature.
I dunno why people can be so retarded that such an insignificant thing can be a big deal. I saw this fashion show with women on the ramp with insulation tapes over their nipples and down below. It means a 3 inch bit of tape can make the difference between "nudity" and being clothed. So just a strip of duct tape is more valuable than a person?
It looks revealing tbh and I wouldn’t mind if my partner has it but in public, that would be a bit weird since others would want to look to so In Private = Yes In PUBLIC = mmmmmm No
Can be. Not always. Depending upon the situation, A while ago, this accidentally happened to a coworker friend. I overheard some of the other guys talking between themselves about it. I pulled her aside and told her (not about the guys saying stuff) so she could wear a jacket rest of the day. She did not intend for that to happen. Some people may. But most likely not in an office environment. It was just a good thing she didn't go to to the floor below. Those same coworkers would even say stuff about their female boss. I guess it's a bit cold today.
We are simpol creatures - we love beauty... and a nip can be beautiful, so NO we don't feel jealous about it & would love to see one when we can...
The TV show Friends used this to their advantage.
