Ask Dr. Kat

Variety is the spice of life. Doing your breast exam in the water (under a shower, in a pool or bath) can change the sensation of the hands on the skin and can make it more erotic. Do your breast exam once with each other's hands and then again with just your partner's tongue. See if he feels anything differently, while at the end he can lap up some honey or chocolate syrup, yum.

Paraphernalia to play with… While you're both getting your feel on, why not add a few accoutrements to spice it up? Aromatic and flavored body oils will make your breast exam more sensual by allowing the both of your fingertips to glide over your skin much more easily.

Finger body paints are also a great way to follow the path of each of your hands. What's the best way to really turn up the sensation of touch? Remove the ability to see with a little blindfold play. Then afterwards he can tease and taunt your breasts and nipples with everything from feathers to clamps. You can find many of these implements at www.AdamandEve.com.

What comes around… Now that you've had the fun of a decadent breast exam, try it on him. Although breast cancer is much rarer in men, that doesn't mean their breasts and nipples should be ignored - they are just as sensitive! Try all of these suggestions on him.

On Your Own? Breast tissue changes with arousal. Do a little experiment by completing your breast exam normally and then while you masturbate. Use one hand to stimulate your clitoris and the other to feel the consistency of your breasts. Using a hands-free vibe will allow you to devote even more touch to breasts. Notice the change in the nipple and the tautness of the skin.

It's suggested that you plan to do your breast exams once a month. Perhaps you and your lover can have a standing date of breast play and who knows what else? It's always nice to have an excuse to touch and be touched.

Sincerely,
Dr. Kat
