What does it mean if your nipples stay hard for days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I do not know: Hormonal issues plays a big role though,...Nipples become erect (hard) because the muscles inside them and underneath them contract. This is thought to happen in both males and females during sexual arousal due to the release of the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin is the same hormone that causes a woman's nipples to become erect during breastfeeding.
