Nipple stimulation

Stimulation of a nipple

Nipple stimulation is a sexual act of humans. Stimulation of the nipples is known to cause the body to release a hormone called oxytocin. Oxytocin is known to aid in the bonding of individuals. When a woman is breastfeeding, the frequency and the sucking of the baby will regulate the production and the amount of milk.
