What do Guys Think of Inverted Nipples?
Someone arrived at The Churning last week after Googling what do guys think of inverted nipples? (Somehow they ended up at my post about back dimples.)
I had never really thought of it before. In fact, I don't think I had ever seen an inverted nipple - in person or even a picture. But you know me. I love to give advice and I certainly don't mind doing a little milk-sack research. Check out my answer to the question and a couple of NSFW pics after the jump...
Apparently, inverted nipples are pretty common. They can just be flat, or sometimes they're like little titty craters. I got these pictures from a plastic surgery website, so you know there's a market out there for "corrective" surgery. But from what I've read, there's no detrimental effect associated with inverted nipples. Babies can suck milk out of those mini-nips and there's not really an increased chance of infection or anything. So it seems like the surgery is entirely aesthetic.
I guess that's fine. I support plastic surgery and body modification, etc. Whatever makes you feel sexy...
But back to the original question - what do guys think? The answer: Don't sweat it. Inside-out headlights are fine. I don't have a fetish for them or anything, but it certainly doesn't turn me off. As long as the girl is halfway attractive and has a little sexual self-confidence, I would assume that most guys would hardly even notice.
Another option would be to find a dude who thinks the dimples on your little sweater puppies are delicious. It can't be all that hard to find a fetishist with a thing for your nips.
And if you're really worried about it, consider plastic surgery your final option. You could always get those funbags pierced instead. Wiki says that works and Wiki is always right.
A couple more pics here and here.

you girls are reading wwwway too much into it… the first girl i fell in love with had inverted nipples, and this sounds kind of strange but now it’s kind of like a fetish for me, i prefer it, i get excited when i see girls with it.. plus its fun because it’s like a little challenge to give the girl a nipple stand when your playing around

Im 15 and i was dating this guy over the summer. i really started falling for him.. we started getting.more and.more sexual active and i started acting out cuz i didnt want him.to see my.breasts bcuz of my inverted nipples.. we broke up soon after and we are starting to talk more and more lately and i would love to get back with him but again im afraid to have sex with him bcuz hes very experienced and goes for my bra first thing. I really dont.know what to do. I know he has seen many different boobs before, and he talks about it with his friends. i dont want him to.talk about mine bcuz that would really break my heart. we have already been through so much. anyone have any advice of how i can get over this and just have sex without being self-constious. ?? “/ would be really really apprecited.

@ babygurl. You don’t wanna be with a guy that is definitely going to blab to his buddies.
January 8th, 2012 - 00:28
Well what should i do if the guy i like comments on them?? what do i tell him then??
January 8th, 2012 - 00:36
Choose wisely. If you pick a guy that really likes you, he will really like your nipples too. If he has a prob with your nips, he was a dickhead. Let him go and tell everyone that he has a small dick.
January 8th, 2012 - 00:45
Haha ive always thought about doing that but was never sure how well that work but thats a good idea. but your right. maybe he wont be worth it. thank you for helping me(:
January 8th, 2012 - 03:05
ya my ex didnt even comment ont them. except in good ways, so dont worry!
January 8th, 2012 - 11:48
Haha alright thanks.!!

babygurl, this is important: many younger girls that get with an older or “more experienced” guy think that they have to do more, or allow him to do more (sexually) because you don’t want to appear inexperienced. That is a huge mistake. Don’t allow his expectations to determine your actions. In other words, be completely and totally okay with being inexperienced. I can’t imagine any (normal) guy getting with an attractive, sexy gal and being uninterested because she is “inexperienced”. That is just not realistic. In fact, your inexperience would probably be exciting to most men, because most guys would enjoy being with a girl who hadn’t been with a lot of men. They would enjoy exploring that with you, for the first time. The point is, don’t allow his experience to dictate what you will or will not do. If a guy “goes for [your] bra first thing”, that isn’t an indication of “experience” it’s an indication of immaturity.
A decent guy is sensitive to your boundaries and your readiness for taking the next step. A good guy doesn’t just “go for the bra first thing”. No. A good guy is patient and controlled and allow YOU to dictate the pace. A good guy isn’t pushing you to do more and more and more. A good guy takes it slow, gently, with kindness and compassion and allows things to happen naturally. For some women that might mean that BAM, the minute you hit the apartment she’s ready to get it on. For others, that might mean that she needs days, weeks, even months before she’s ready to let him “go for the bra”. Don’t feel obligated to let him go for your bra, just because he’s “experienced”. If he is truly experienced, then he’ll understand that each woman has her own pace, and will do what she wants, when she wants, when she’s ready and she doesn’t need any guy trying to hurry her, or pressure her to do something when she’s not ready and comfortable taking the next step. A good guy WAITS and is patient and understanding.
In my life I have found that not pressuring a woman usually meant that things unfolded much faster than they would have if I pressured, because when a woman feels that you respect her boundaries, and she feels safe around you, that is when she is more willing and ready to do more with you. If she knows that you are interested in more than just sex, and you are interested in her mind, heart and soul, and that you are okay with waiting however long it takes, that is when she feels comfortable, safe and ready to express her desire sexually. For some women that might happen on the first date, for others it could take much, much longer, but she needs to know that you understand that she needs time to be ready before that happens.
You are too young to be having to worry about a guy that “goes right for your bra”. Really. You should feel completely free to say, “hey, I’m not ready for you to do that. I really like you, I’m attracted to you and I enjoy being with you, but I’m just not ready to do that yet”, and he should be okay with that, and make you feel comfortable and safe until you’re ready. You have all the time in the world to have sex and do all that stuff. Enjoy your youth, because when it’s gone it’s gone. All that time getting ready is fun and exciting. Sure it can be frustrating, because you want to do more, but you just aren’t ready. Be totally okay with not being ready to do that stuff. Don’t let anyone pressure you into doing it. Be confident that you know best when you are ready, and a good guy will respect your boundaries and he’ll wait till you are ready.
My wife and I didn’t have sex until we were married, for spiritual reasons. I tell you that to let you know that, there are guys out there that will wait. You can find a guy that will respect your boundaries, no matter what they are. If you’re okay with having sex before marriage, okay then. If you’re okay with having sex when you’re still a teen, that is your choice. But make sure that whatever you do, you’re doing it because YOU want to do it, not because some guy is “experienced” and you have to do more to keep him interested. Bunk. If a guy loses interest because you’re not doing more with him, fine, let him lose interest – it’s clear that he’s not truly interested in you, he just wants to get his desires met. Find someone that is interested in you, as a person, and respects your boundaries and is ready to wait until YOU are ready, and not before then. Who cares if he is more experienced, does that give him permission to make you do things you aren’t ready for? Does being experienced mean that suddenly he doesn’t have to respect your boundaries? No, it doesn’t. This is why it’s better for people your age to be with someone your age, and your experience, so neither of you is in some big hurry to do something you’re not ready to do.
Be confident and completely believe in the fact that you have the ABSOLUTE right and power to do what you want, when you want (with your body), and not a minute sooner. It’s your body, if you want to wait, you have every right to do that. If a guy is experienced, he knows this and will respect your wishes. He’ll want to wait till you’re ready, because it’s far more exciting to be with a woman who is ready and excited, than pushing someone into doing something they aren’t comfortable with. Find someone that “goes for your heart, first thing” and leaves your bra alone until you’re ready.

I forgot to talk about what you asked. Sorry about that, and I’m sorry for writing so much, but you seem like such a sweet girl and I have two sons that your age (one 15, one 18) and this is very important to me. I have raised my sons to be respectful of women and to respect a woman’s boundaries. If I had a daughter, I’d be saying to her what I wrote to you.
I can’t imagine there are very many guys who would be turned off by inverted nipples. Maybe there are some, but that would seem to be absurd and immature to me. Breasts come in all shapes and sizes and guys love ‘em. When some woman we are interested in shares her body with us, we’re totally and completely excited and happy and the last thing we’re thinking about is: “hmmm, her nipples are different”. Haha. No way! All we’re thinking is, “omg, I am touching breasts”. If it’s someone we love, all we’re thinking is how excited and happy we are that we’re touching the woman we love, and she cares enough about me to share her body with me. Would you care if your boyfriend had inverted nipples? I doubt it. When you care about someone you don’t care about little things like that, in fact they often become a source of endearment to us.
I personally love inverted nipples, because my first girlfriend had them and I thought they were so cool and different. She was very confident about it, and that probably helped a lot. Confidence and liking oneself is attractive to others. If he sees them and says something, don’t freak out. Sometimes in a situation like that it can help to make a little joke like, “yeah, they’re different, but they still work fine”. When I first saw my girlfriend’s, she said, “Yeah, they hide, but if you make them happy they come out and play”, and I cracked up. It was a really cool way to deal with it. Whatever you do, just be confident. Don’t make a big deal about it, just let things happen naturally. And if he asks, just talks calmly and confidently about it. If he says something ugly or makes fun of it, then fine, it tells you all you need to know about this guy right then and there. Kick him to the curb. If a woman shares her breasts with a guy and all he can do is criticize or say something stupid, then he doesn’t deserve to be touching her. So, don’t worry about it, it’s such a minor thing. Most guys will either love it or they won’t care one way or the other, they’ll just be happy and excited to be touching some breasts!

Alright thank you so much. this really helps. and going my pase will also determine his patience for me, right? i think it would be a good test for our relationship and see how much he does care me. and i suppose him commenting on them wouldnt be such a bad thing. might actaually make me feel better about them towards him. I have a much better state of mind about all of this. So again, thank you a lot(:
January 8th, 2012 - 22:49
I’m glad you’re feeling better about it. Just remember, you will be an adult for the rest of your life, but you are a child and a teenager for only a very short time. Don’t hurry past it. Enjoy it. Savor it, because when it’s gone, it’s gone. Be confident in your boundaries and care enough about yourself so that you don’t allow someone else to hurry you, or pressure you, or make you feel bad about your decisions or your body. There is someone out there who will love you and respect you and support you. The fact that you’re asking questions means that you’re smart enough and confident enough to ask for help when you need it, and we all need help sometimes. I don’t know your situation, but I hope that you have a parent or a family member you trust that you can go to with questions like this. Having friends and family around to provide support is critically important. Seek that out and cultivate it.
January 8th, 2012 - 22:58
I will definenatly think about these now. i do have a a parent i can talk so thank.you for everything. Im gonna stop.worring and when the time comes ill will let it happen.
January 12th, 2012 - 02:58
hi, I’m 15 and I have inverted nipples. At first I hated them until now that I’ve red your stories. Thank you so much, I feel a lot better now
January 12th, 2012 - 10:29
@alex. yea i was very self concious about mine but after everyones help.on here it made me feel better too. I guess i relized that, a boob.. is a boob.!!!! hahah or a nipple is a nipple weather its inwards or outwards(:
January 15th, 2012 - 06:01
yeah, that’s right…..I thought inverted nipples is really embarrassing but I thought wrong very wrong hahahah…….ahm, just want to know where you from?
January 20th, 2012 - 02:37
I’m scared to tell my boyfriend about my inverted nipples. He tells me he’ll love them but I hate them. If I hate them how can anyone else like them? I’m very self conscious about them. He asked me tonight how big my nipples were and I was so speechless. How do I tell him, I don’t know because I never seen them? I tell him everything but this just makes me feel so gross. I hate them so much it makes me feel like shit. I just don’t want them but I don’t want the surgery. God, I’m so stupid haha, I don’t even know why I’m on here. Haha
January 20th, 2012 - 23:27
This is for the women out there. I had a girl friend who was 15, inexperienced with inverted nipples. Recently, forty years later, we talked about our relationship. She told me that I was the perfect boyfriend for a young girl. I told her how special she made feel because I was her first love. By the way, we did not go all the way.
The point I am trying to make is that what is important is the love and respect that you have for one another–not the structure of your nipples or anything else; and even after many years you will see that there will be place in your hearts for one another.
Therefore, ladies if you choose carefully you will find a guy who will love you for the person that you are including the areas that you feel makes you imperfect but he will see as just part of the wonderful you.
January 22nd, 2012 - 04:21
you’re a wonderful guy
January 22nd, 2012 - 08:03
Thanks. I am sure you will find someone who appreciates you.
January 29th, 2012 - 13:25
I think I have flat or inverted nipple, but it’s giving me a lot of pain especially at night and it’s keeping me up which is bad because I have school in the morning.
It hurts so much that i am going to tell my mum in the morning but right now they just really really hurt and I don’t know what to do! Help me please!!!
January 29th, 2012 - 22:28
Lily, its hurting you?? i dont think its normal for them to hurt.. So yea talking with your mom asapwould probably be a good idea. Well im sorry i.couldnt be much of help but i hope they stop hurting! Good luck.!
January 29th, 2012 - 22:35
Hi, uhm haha this is kinda weird but i feel like i just need to vent or get some advice or something… but anyways, i have never shown anyone my inverted nipples. i kinda real intimate with a boy i really like last night. he reached his hands up my shirt, under my bra. i was not comfortable at all and i didnt know what to do. im very self concious about my inverted nipples still.. It seemed a bit like he was playing with them? maybe he had seen inverted nipples before and was playing with it to make it come out? Or maybe he was really feeling it bcuz it was different to him? i dont exactly know what his thoughts are about them, but it seemed to.me like he was very curious.. I sorta want to know what he thought, but like i said i dont want to.bring.it up bcuz im very self concious.. thoughts? anyone..
February 1st, 2012 - 01:42
Meag… We really don’t care. This is how we looked the first time we saw boobs :-0 and this is how we looked the 5,438th time we saw boobs :-0 We’re just thrilled there’s a woman willing to show us her boobs. I guarantee you that YOU were much more uncomfortable bout them than he was. Own up to them, accept them, and let him have some fun with them and I’m pretty sure he can find a few ways for you to really enjoy them too.
February 2nd, 2012 - 23:46
I have inverted nipples and I haven’t decided whether I am comfortable with them yet. I have a really serious boyfriend and I think he is wanting to have sex so I want to know how do guys feel about them during sex? Do they like them more or less, or do they not even care at all? Girls with inverted nipples, what do your boyfriends think of your nipples?
February 3rd, 2012 - 11:22
Ellebelles, you said your boyfriend and you are serious right.? and well if thats the case, i doubt hell even notice at all!!!! if you and your boyfriend really like each, your inverted nipples arent going to change the way he feels about you, even during sex!! hes a man,.haha hes glad he getting any in the first place. the way your nipples are shouldnt change his feelibgs towards you in any way(: good luck and i hope i helped!(:
February 3rd, 2012 - 19:38
Thanks Missy. I hope ur right I am sure he won’t have a problem with them but I am still pretty self conscious about it. Best to just wait and see:)
February 4th, 2012 - 06:29
hi guys, I just wanted to tell you all how grateful I am right now because I’ve finally found Derek who’s the love of my life. He is very sweet and lovable guy. I’ve told him my problem and he just said SO as in he just said SO. He said he loves me for what and who I am and he really doesn’t give a damn ’cause he loves me a lot, isn’t it sweet?…. So, for all the girls out there who has a problem like anyone of us here, please do love and accept yourself because you are all unique and we are all unique.
February 4th, 2012 - 06:34
Lily you said your nipples are hurting right? So I thought you should seek a help from a doctor.
February 4th, 2012 - 06:37
Lily you said your nipples are hurting right? So I thought you should seek a help from a doctor just to be safe and telling your mom that your nipple is hurting is a good idea.
