Dear abcdefghijk,

Touching the breasts gives many women a lot of sexual pleasure. Most girls' breasts and nipples are sensitive to stroking, touching, and kissing. It's important to communicate with your girlfriend about how she wants you to handle her breasts, because every woman is different about how she likes her breasts to be touched. And some women don't want their breasts touched at all — this is normal, too. When becoming sexual with a partner, it's important to talk about expectations. What do you and your partner want from a sexual relationship — physically and emotionally? What are you and your partner's boundaries? Communicating these expectations will make your relationship with your girlfriend stronger.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
