In terms of pleasure, it is not only the “penetrative” sex that counts. Many preliminary practices can make all the difference, and bouboupism is an excellent example. This slightly playful word actually hides a form of targeted stimulation, centered on breasts and nipples, both exciting, hormonal and neurological. Praised as much by women as by men, this technique can literally make desire increase … without even touching the genitals.
The breasts: a sensory highway towards pleasure
According to a study by the University of Sheffield, 82 % of women say that breast stimulation has a direct effect on their libido. And for good reason: this area is full of nerve endings which, when tickled, activate the same brain region as that stimulated by the clitoris or the vagina. Well placed caresses – soft or more supported depending on sensitivity – can therefore be as powerful as “classic” games.
But bouboupism is not reserved for women. 52 % of men questioned also say they feel real excitement when their chest is requested. In other words, it is an inclusive, sensory and adaptable practice, which fits perfectly in a slower, more attentive, more connected carnal report.
How to “boubouper” to raise the excitement?
No need to be an expert to get started. The idea is simple: caress, touch, lick, pinch or massage the breasts and nipples, with delicacy and creativity. You can use fingers, tongue, lips, or accessories like feathers, ice cubes, lubricants or nipples. The objective? Explore, play, listen to reactions and adapt. In a previous article, Dr. Gérard Leleu, a sexologist, recommends, for example, bother the breast slowly, then stimulate the areola and the nipple with circular gestures, modulating the pressure.
Some women even report having reached orgasm only by breast stimulation, without touching their sex. But beware: it all depends on hormonal sensitivity, especially during rules, where breasts can be painful.
Solo pleasure, duet … or in notary tie mode
Bouboupism is practiced as well alone as in a couple – or even several if the consent is there. He can precede a sexual relation or be enough for himself as a moment of intimacy. For the most curious, there is even an erotic practice inspired by bouboupism: mazophallation, or “notary tie”, where the breasts become the main stimulation of the gender of man. A common fantasy, but to explore with kindness, respect … and a little humor.
