A member asked:
What happens to womens breast when they are sexually aroused and why do their nipples grow stiff?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nervous System: Is aroused and that is why the breasts are affected because they are attached to the nervous system. The entire body reacts. The nipples contract and they are supposed to like to be touched and respond in a positive way in the foreplay before sex. It is the way we were made and wired. It helps makes us ready for the sex act.
