To hate the sensation of nipples?

I’m not sure if it’s just me. I’m sure it isn’t. But I hate, and I mean hate having my nipples touched (I know that sounds weird) the good majority of time.

I always have, I’m not sure what triggered it but it gives me a really deep sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I never told DP until recently. I’m not sure why.. I think because I felt like it wasn’t normal so I just tried to be.. normal? He’s a ‘boob’ man so I think he’s a little disappointed but since telling him he’s been very respectful.

But it has got me wondering if I’m alone on this. What or why does it make me feel so.. enraged? Sick? Irritated?

as a side note: it’s not just being touched by people, even if I take my bra off when my nipple are erect, the feeling just makes me ‘urgh’.

Please tell me I’m normal 🫣

Yes, I'm the same! I was convinced that there was no way in a million years I would be able to breastfeed, but I steeled myself to at least give it a go, and weirdly it was absolutely fine and I kept it up for several years. In any other context, though - nope! Same with my belly button. Genuinely the worst bit of pregnancy for me was when it popped out and I could feel it against my clothes. Even thinking about it now has made me go all squirmy inside.

Ugh no I hate hate hate it. Which is a shame for DH because he’s also a boob guy. I was like this before breastfeeding but it has made it 100x worse!

Interesting. Mine are extremely sensitive in a good way, v important during sex, almost more important than anywhere else.

And I BF twice, for a total of 2 years.

However I couldn't tolerate anything sexual at all during either of those years. It's like all of that completely switched off. Grateful for an understanding partner.

Massive relief and pleasure to feed a baby, anyone else can eff off.

speaking as someone who has had nipple orgasms I really don’t understand this. But if it’s how you feel, then obviously you are definitely not being unreasonable

I h knee you didn’t think I’d get 3 pages of people who agree! I had no idea this was this common. I’m sorry everyone else hates it though..

Several of us have said it fine once aroused, but not otherwise.

My boobs are def not an erogenous zone, theyre pretty dead, flaps of skin like any other on me. I dont feel disgust when touched, i feel nothing at all. Breastfeeding was neither here nor there

Always hated my nipples bring touched, sucked, brushed past, whatever.. Actually hurts and feels cringey. Can't stand it!

Yes I get this. It's a very irritating feeling. Absolutely hated breastfeeding too. It made me feel anxious and irritated.

I feel weird now because I love having mine touched. Not that the opportunity arises too often.

I have the same feelings but about my belly button. Worst feeling ever if it’s touched 😨

Oh god yes.

I have trouble touching it myself,it makes me shudder.
