Older boy licking nipple

[bookshop1]

For the last week or so my 16 year old boy has been licking his nipple. I keep catching him and telling him to stop, which he does, but then catch him again later (2-3 times a day so it's not constant). He's going bald around it, but nipple doesn't look red/weepy/bloody.

He did it for a while a couple of years ago and nipple became very red and inflamed, and then he stopped and it got better.

Have wondered if he's stressed, but can't think of anything that could be causing it, although we did get a new washing machine a few days ago so could be the stress of that? He's generally very chilled. He has been a bit quieter the last couple of days

Anyone had similar/any ideas why he could be doing it, or any tips on something which may calm him?

Haha

@Mumof3almost4

This has really tickled me

Her kitty is tickled too!

Instead I thought OP meant older boyfriend. I got images of a greying, saggy old man licking his nipples in some kind of bizarre fetish

Hahahahaha 😂

This thread is great, don't move it to the litter tray pleeeease (Sorry about your cat OP).

I’m disappointed it’s not a stressed out teen who broke the washing machine to get out of chores...

Most teenage boys don’t choose their nipples....

Also imaging parents with stressed out teens reading this and buying Feliway willing to try anything

🙀🙀😿😽😾

Oh OP this made me laugh so much . Thank you. I hope you find a cure for the cat's nipple habit.

I’m in the bath and just tried to do this. But I can’t. Thanks for the laugh OP!

Oh I'm sorry I can't offer any constrictive advice OP but I literally crying with laughter at the thought of this being a teenage boy with an extraordinarily flexible neck, as is DP

Oh I’m so glad there’s an innocent explanation for this one!👍

It did tickle me though.

Hope you get some sensible answers on the litter tray OP!

Sorry about your cat, OP. Hope he's better soon.

This is beautiful! As I read the first paragraph I was thinking can you lick your nipple without tits? I want even sure when you said he was going bald around it, because he could just have a lot of chest hair!

I so thought that was a boy 🙈

@ememem84

I came on to ask how on earth does a human do that? Especially a boy! I reckon I could probably do it (big boobs...) but still....

Yeah I'm quite big boobed and can lick my own nipple. Not that I have much cause to!

@HebeMumsnet

Evening, everyone.

It does look like there's been a mistake here.

OP, if you'd like us to move this to The Dog House or The Litter Tray just let us know.

I only read the OP and was like Janice in Friends with the OH.MY. GOD.

The neighbours probably heard it 😂

Aww don't move it @bookshop1
It gave me just the giggle I needed tonight 😂😂😂

Me too!

Shouldn't that be a dreamie @Viviennemary?

So sorry about the cat op but this has given me the best laugh in ages 🤣

Hi again OP

We'll move that there for you now.

This was just the laugh I needed tonight. The visions of a 16 year old being caught by their mum numerous times a day licking their own nipple. 😂 What a party trick though!
