From Pleasant To Painful!

...Chill and ask Salome Mitter all your questions on sex.

I’m 20 and have been dating an older guy for about four years. We have a healthy physical relationship but my boyfriend has a tendency to squeeze my breasts very hard during sex. I’ve read somewhere that this kind of treatment makes breasts larger and has me worried. Is this true?

Hi Kavya, you are evidently part of the miniscule female population that does not want larger breasts! Jokes aside, you really don’t need to worry on that count. There is absolutely no evidence that proves that squeezing makes breasts larger – or breast augmentation clinics would be out of business completely! Squeezing or massaging temporarily enlarges breasts because it increases blood-flow to the breasts, leading them to swell – but like I said, it is only momentary. Gaining weight and exercising to build the muscles underlying the breasts can give the impression of larger breasts.
