QUESTION: Why is it important for people to feel comfortable with their breasts and their bodies in general? How can it enhance or make sex more enjoyable?

You don’t need to completely embrace and love your body to enjoy. But we do need to work towards body acceptance and neutrality in order to fully enjoy ourselves sexually.

When it comes to your big (or small) ‘ol titties, trust me, I get it. Most of us do not love our breasts. If you have large breasts, maybe you wish they were smaller. If you have small breasts, maybe you wish they were larger. Perhaps they’re too saggy, too uneven etc. 

Whatever it is and whatever the insecurity, the vast majority of us have them. We’re socialized to hate ourselves because if we loved ourselves, how could the consumerist society we live in sell us shit we don’t need to achieve self-love? It's all very dark and twisted.

Our breasts can be a huge source of pleasure, but our shame, insecurity, or downright hatred of them makes it nearly impossible to fully enjoy them.

Discomfort around one's body and breasts creates a psychological block that can inhibit sexual wellness. In my practice. I often find that a lack of body confidence is generally present when a client is experiencing some form of sexual distress - whether it's low libido, trouble orgasming, lack of orgasm etc. 

Breasts can be a wonderful way to increase sexual arousal - in both men, women, and folx of all genders. The nerve endings in the nipples light up the genital-cortex, the same area of the brain that is activated then the genitals are aroused. Orgasm and pleasure are a body/brain combined experience so feeling aroused in multiple ways can increase pleasure for those who enjoy breast stimulation.

Remember, that all boobs are different. And natural breasts are not the same as the ones we see in media. All boobs are gorgeous. Small, big, perky, saggy, uneven, symmetrical - who cares? They're fun and hot and can be enjoyed by one and all.
