Nipples: You Gotta Love Them

https://www.pexels.com/@cottonbro/

A lot of attention is given to breasts. It is the realm of femininity that many women harness for their beauty and men ogle in their relentless pursuit of the ultimate male conquest. There are men’s and women’s magazines that showcase them and endless movies that use them for shock value and titillation.

…but what about the nipple?

Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, nipples offer so many ways to enjoy them. They are a source for nourishment from our mothers when we are born and then they become erotic and an erogenous zone that excites sexual feelings when touched or stimulated when we get older.

Everyone has nipples.

On men, nipples seem a waste but men would look silly without them. Put them on women and the whole world ignites around their exposure or their subtle camouflage behind sheer fabric or clingy lace. It’s amazing the impact nipples have on the world. The world has celebrated them since time immemorable. Art forms from marble to oil paint to photographs venerate them.

And I have a great pair. I really like them and they recently got even better.

I am transgender and I have been taking hormones for four years. It gave me 38DD breasts and nipples that also grew, with increased sensitivity.

I may have surrendered one male erection but I gained two new female friends.

I’ll take that swap any day.

Thank you for reading my work.

My writing has three specific goals:

1. Writing is my therapy. I have a very limited outlet for my thoughts so I write to find a way to process the most profound experience in my life. I need to understand and I need to accept myself to move forward.

2. Being transgender, for me, is a very lonely existence and if I can share some of the things that I feel and think as I go through the process of transitioning with others who are transgender and, in some way, lessen their pain and sense of loneliness, then all of this public exposure of my personal thoughts is not a waste.

3. I write to help cisgender people understand that all trans people want is to be simply understood, accepted and treated as a normal person. We are.
