Dear Crystal,                                                                     

      I was told about your page from a girlfriend of mine and I think it's great.  I'm writing because I have a problem that I am hoping isn't rare enough that you won't have dealt with it before.  I have inverted nipples and I'm tired of hiding them.  Whenever I date someone new it's the typical "lights out sex" for a while until they finally say something.  Then when the lights come on I'm constantly trying to hide them when he's on top by kinda covering them with my forearms while I rub his chest, or pressing my body to his real close so he can't see them.  God forbid the men I sleep with ask me to undress for them, on the rare occassion I have to turn my back when I take my bra off and them when I slide the cups off kinda nonchalantly pinch them real hard so that they will stay out and erect long enough for me to make it over to my man and start the "hide the nipples" dance again.  Ugh, I'm sick of it!  I've seen doctors to see if it can be fixed and they say it can but it starts at $1200 for the surgery!  What can you suggest if anything!!!!!!

Hello Anonymous in Agoura,

     Well I guess I can skip all the medical chat on why your nipples are inverted being that you have already been to see a plastic surgeon.  But for any other readers that are interested; the inversion is caused by an adhesion or a band of tissue connecting your breast tissue to the nipple tissue that is too tight.  But don't fret, plastic surgery isn't the only way to cure this.  You hit the nail on the head when you said you can get them to temporarily protract, or become erect.  If it is possible to do that, you can fix them with time.  One thing to do for starters is to pinch and stimulate and pull the nipple out anytime you can.  If you are sitting watching TV do it a couple times, do it in the shower, do it while you sit on the toilet.  Whenever you can without getting arrested for indecent exposure!  The other thing is have your boyfriend or male partners suck and chew on them too, any stimulus will help loosen or stretch out the band of tissue that is too tight right now.  Another really convenient and kinky thing that can spice up your sex life is buying some nipple stimulators.  There are all kinds of things you can purchase that will be fun, exciting and beautiful.  There are nipple clamps, nipple suckers, nipple jewelry and even creams you can rub on them that will help keep them erect.  All of these things above if practiced often will make it so that your nipples are more present than not.  There will still be times when wearing a tight bra all day will smash them flat again, but with a quick pinch or use of these toys above and they will be standing at attention in no time at all!  Have fun, I hope I help you, no one deserves to be insecure in the bedroom.  If you care about these guys and they care about you, the way your nipples look won't even matter.  If you trust your man, be open with him and I'm sure he will be more than willing to help!
