Is it true that large boobs are less sensitive than small boobs?

Question

Large Breasts

In a study conducted at the University of Vienna, researchers found that large breasts were about 24 percent less sensitive than small ones. "This is probably because the nerve that transmits sensation from the nipple is stretched," says Alan Matarasso, M.D., a plastic surgeon in New York City. Stimulate the outer sides of her breasts, just below the armpits, with your tongue or fingertips. Make flipping motions with your tongue and even experiment with light nibbling.

Small Breasts

They're sensitive, but they can handle more motion because of their size. Use your palms to cup and gently bounce her breasts during sex.

Droopy Breasts

Droopy breasts can be the least sensitive--not only are the nerves stretched, but they're compressed by the breasts' weight. Have her lie on her back; it'll cause her breasts to shift up and out, relieving the tension on the nerves and helping her focus on the pleasure.

Surgically Enhanced Breasts

If done properly, implants won't interfere with sensation. But they will move differently. Concentrate on the surface of her breasts. Use your tongue to make circles that gradually spiral in toward the nipples.

New-Mom Breasts

Her nipples will be tender, so focus on the breasts' undersides, which are frequently neglected. Gently cup and support her breasts. It'll feel nice to her after a long day of suckling.

Nipples

These handy barometers of desire are simple to read: Up is "on," down is "off." But they're also thermometers, popping up when the weather's cold, like giant goose bumps. The nipples are important -- in fact, for some women, you can induce an orgasm just by doing breast duty. But the sensitivity of nipples varies widely; handle with care.

Large: Because they have more nerve endings, big nipples are often hypersensitive, so don't be too aggressive when applying pressure, Dr. Matarasso says.

Small: The areola--the dark-colored circle that surrounds the nipple--is actually more sensitive than the nipple itself. Focus especially on the upper quadrant of her breast, between 10 and 2 o'clock. It's the most sensitive part of the bull's-eye.

Inverted

One study has shown that 3 percent of women have innies. The cause: genetics. The nerve endings in breasts with inverted nipples are no different from those of any other nipples. "Often, women with inverted nipples may be more sensitive emotionally because they may feel that their nipples aren't normal," says Shirley Zussman, Ed.D., a sex therapist in New York City. Reassure her with compliments about her breasts. You can lure the nipples out if you're persistent with touching, kissing, licking, and gentle sucking.

For the most part I do agree with this,I have large breasts and  where he is describing the sides of the breasts being very sensitive is one of my favorite spots to be touched and my breasts in general are less sensitive then when they were smaller.  I have had small breast when I was younger and I think that is true. I have had new mom breasts and completely agree with that one too. Although I have rather large nipples and do not think they are hypersensitive at all for me to feel much the guy has to be pretty aggressive with them.

mines are small and sensitive (B cup)

on the other hand

my sisters are huge and she feels nothing (F cup)

how do I know?

she pokes at mines from time to time teasing me telling me theyre small, and she says "how do you react that way when I poke, and I feel nothing.."

whenever she feels like teasing me she would say that I have a huge ass and that I have small breasts.. if anyone ever made me feel self-conscious its her..she makes it sound like a bad thing but now I'm thinking maybe she's jealous :/

It's true, because breasts only have a certain number of nerves, no matter how big they are. I have a DDD cup, and mine are not that incredibly sensitive. However, I notice at least with mine, at certain points of the month, especially right before my period they are very sensitive and if you are rough with them like you are at other points in the month, you can seriously hurt me. It probably also depends on time as well. At least for me it does. But on a general sense, larger breasts are not that sensitive.

Paladine · Answer

It's a myth that larger breasts are less sensitive. Sensitivity varies not only between women, but also depending on various physical changes, such as at different times of our cycle. Mine are large, and extremely sensitive, but there are also women with large breasts who are not as sensitive, just as there are women with smaller breasts who are less sensitive or more sensitive. And this sensitivity is not necessarily a permanent state.

My breast are small (B cup) but some would say they are average and they are very very sensitive even to the touch. So sensitive that when they are touched the nipples stay erected and gradually goes down.

I'm a D, and at times the fabric of my bra rubbing them causes me an almost stinging sensation. It's worse on my period, and even more when I'm using birth control :( My areolas are also large, and my breasts are kind of "droopy" due to rapid weight fluctuation and lack of funds for new bras.
