    I have always wondered when I play with myself, once in a while I will touch and twist my nipples a little bit and get a little more excited. I thought doing so was like touching the other guy and that's why I get excited. Plus you see guys doing that in gay porns. But I wonder if straight guys feel that way when they do that or they would rather feel the tits of a woman and then they would get excited.

    I know these forums are mainly for gays and bi's but I would like to know if anyone of you have thought about that? Just curious...

    I don't imagine many straight men would like their nipples touched and played with, but I'm sure there are some who do as well!

    I'd say that most men wouldn't like that simply because they think it's not natural, but I'm sure some of them, who actually tried like it.
    If you like it then why wouldn't you keep doing it?

    There's actually some solid research looking at touch and its effect on arousal and orgasm, and it turns out that the act of physically touching the body (whether someone else is touching you, or you're touching yourself) stimulates the release of oxytocin (the love hormone) which is also associated with intensifying sexual pleasure.

    So rubbing, touching, and playing with your body as well as your genitals does, actually, increase pleasure and arousal and heighten the intensity of orgasm. I suspect a lot of straight men (and women, for that matter) have figured this out and do it in the privacy of their own rooms... but, as with other aspects of masturbation, it's not something that most people are comfortable talking about.

    Male nipples have nerve endings and sensitivity the same as female nipples do.

    After watching a few videos on the internet where the title says "gay guy doing this and that with a straight guy" and the supposedly straight guy was playing with his nipples, my reaction was like, wait a minute, being a straight guy, you are not supposed to like doing that. It's only us gays who like to do that. You are not straight. That's what I say to myself everytime I see something like that. And that's why I'm asking you guys if maybe I have over-generalized things a bit. I just have an inquisitive mind.

    Why would being gay make a difference? My partner likes to play with my nipples. It excites him to do so, but does really do much to me, so I let him. But this always confuses me as to why it should be a gay thing only. And why my arousal is not really enhanced by it?

    I used to love playing with my nipples. Sometimes, it made me feel a bit disgusted, and sometimes, it turned me on. Right now, I am neglecting them.

    I am into chubby men. Their chests are something that fascinates me, so if I got some alone time with such a man, I'd pay his nipples a lot of attention, if he liked it too.

    I don't think there is anything inherently gay about any of the erotic or erogenous zones on a male body. Sure, some parts of society don't talk much about some parts! But that is just society and prudish ideas of what is acceptable. Straight men explore every part of their anatomy. Plenty of straight guys like having their nipples or anus played with.
