It is very well known that you need to be in sync with your body to be healthy and happy. Being in sync with your body means that you are constantly mindful about giving your body what it needs, which requires you to be entirely comfortable and aware of every body part. For multiple reasons, our breasts, which aren’t even sexual organs by nature, have been sexualized for centuries.
One of the most significant and obvious consequences of this has been women being uncomfortable with the over-visibility of these organs. So much so that women go years without noticing if something is wrong with their reproductive organs or their breasts, resulting in women not seeing cancerous lumps in their breasts. So ladies, if you haven’t been pressing your breasts regularly, this is your cue. Pressing breasts could not only help you detect cancerous lumps at early stages but even save you from cancer!
When it comes to information about sexual health, there is a lot of misinformation available around and surprisingly, some of it is even passed down by your mother! We are here to your rescue to help you understand some popular myths and realities about pressing breasts and whether or not pressing breasts is good for health.
Myths
1) Pressing breasts increases breast size
Touching or pressing breasts DOES NOT make them grow. There is a lot of misinformation about breast development that leads to young girls going through creams and massages just because of the promise of bigger breasts. Genes and hormones determine breast growth and size.
2) Squeezing or pressing of breast leads to cancer
One of the most bizarre myths doing the rounds is that squeezing or pressing breasts or nipples could cause breast cancer. If the pressing is too hard, it may cause some pain or soreness, but it CANNOT cause cancer.

Realities
1) It can help detect cancer in early stages
As recommended by doctors, women should go through yearly or biyearly breast examinations to make sure that everything is normal. Women or partners of women must make sure they are pressing their breasts and massaging them regularly so that they can detect any lumps that could turn out to be cancerous and even fatal if identified in the later stages.
2) Pressing of breasts can even prevent cancer
A recent study in UC Berkeley revealed that mechanical force could actually stop the rapid growth of cancerous cells and guide them back to a normal pattern. If it is explored further, we could have a breakthrough in preventing cancer through just pressing or applying physical force and help aid in cancer treatments.
3) Pressing of breasts reduces stress and make you happy
If you’ve ever come back home after a long, tiring, stressful day and just sat down to rest and get a hold on yourself, the next best thing to do is to press your breasts by cupping them in your hand. If you’re a woman, the chances are that you’ve already done this and know how relieving and relaxing it feels and if you haven’t, keep aside whatever device you’re reading this one and give yourself a stress relief break and press your breasts.
4) Can lead to better sexual stimulation
You will be shocked to know, but breast orgasms do exist. Breasts are really sensitive and very stimulating erogenous zones, pressing, massaging and even licking them slowly could help your partner experience great sexual pleasure and add a blindfold to the picture. You might heighten your sensations, leading to a nipple-gasm.
