Women Want to See Breast Reconstruction Results In Person
I miss my sexy nipples. What can I do?
Do not underestimate the nipples. Often patients and surgeons get so caught up in the cancer and its curative surgery that they neglect to discuss nipples in the sexual response. Many women find the nipples and the surrounding tissues (areola) to be quite sensitive, stimulating, and erotic. Many men also find their nipples erotic!
With surgical removal of the nipple, a person may feel a loss in sexuality. For cosmetic reasons, some women opt for skin grafting, which can reconstruct the nipple; thus, it may appear visually similar to its appearance before cancer surgery. Others may elect to have permanent tattooing in the nipple area. Nipple prostheses can be purchased in many specialty stores, including some department stores. If nipple stimulation was an important
part of your sexual lovemaking script, acknowledge and accept this loss. Recognize that the human body has an abundant nerve supply and countless erotic and sensual areas, some of which you may yet experience.
Explore different body areas: some women enjoy having the neck, eyelids, arm creases, underarms, legs, or feet caressed and explored. Others may enjoy fingers or toes being caressed or sucked!
You may be very surprised to discover that you have many undiscovered sexually charged and erotic areas on your body. Begin sexual exploration and self-discovery!
Term:
Areola – The circular patch of darker skin that surrounds the nipple. It is present in men and women.
