This is really strange and I'm trying to stop. When I was really young (3 yrs old or so), I started playing with my nipples, rubbing them and such. Not in a sexual way at all. I'm 20 now and I still do it. I do it without realizing, even in public and it's starting to worry me. I understand that it's releasing chemicals (oxytocin and prolactin I believe) that makes it relaxing and pleasurable. It would be fine if I did it intentionally, when I was alone. But I do it without realizing, and it's embarrassing to catch myself doing it in public. Lately I've been doing it more, maybe from anxiety about my classes? I think it's like when people suck on their thumbs.. except a lot worse. I just can't force myself to stop..

    I think it's just plain awesome. If I ever caught someone rubbing their nipple, they'd be known to me as captain nipple :)

    I used to do this too. The way I broke the habit was by finding something else to rub like my ear. It's a lot less awkward. Eventually though I grew out off it.

    I think its just a normal tweak you have, everyone has one... I think, and it seems normal-ish.

    I think it's normal. May not be socially acceptable while others watch, but who cares. You're stimulating yourself, if they don't like it, they don't have to watch. I sometimes do it too, but it makes me feel uncomfortable more than it does pleasured.

    HI,

    you are right with the chemicals it releases and if you like it keep doing it, I have sensitive nipples and the best births i have had was when i had nipple stimulation during it because of the chemicals it releases.

    Well it's better than rubbing your penis nonchalantly in public, without realizing it lol.

    Oh man, losing ticks like that can be tough. I do one where I rub my knuckles against my lips (no idea how that started). I stopped doing it around people though. I guess it's a matter of how much you care about how people see you vs. how badly you need to do your tick.

    Believe it or not, I did the same thing. Except it was with only one nipple. Now one is bigger than the other. I'm a guy by the way. What made me stop was sheer will power and the fact that I found other things to keep my hands occupied. I'm not referring to masturbation.
