Hi, i'm a 21 year old female. I was
wondering if it is normal for your nipples
to become erect during a breast exam.
Everytime i've been for one it has
happened. It's just the way my breasts
react to tthe doctor's touch and I find it
really awkward as I have no idea what he
might think of it.
Does this happen for anyone else?

This is normal. Nipples get erect when
they are stimulated.
Your doctor probably doesn't think
anything about it. ;)

Well it's not just when he touches my
nipples, it's when he's touching my actual
breasts. It might be percieved the same
way as when a man gets an erection during
an examination.

It isn't perceived that way at all.
Doctors actually look at breasts and
hoo-has all day long - as it tends to be
their job. Your doctor is not thinking of
you sexually at all. Nor is he
considering that you are getting hard
nipples for him.
Some women cannot think of being touched
physically without reacting, whether they
react vaginally or with erect nipples
depends on the woman. Also the doctor's
offices can be cold. Maybe your breasts
are reacting the the cooler air?
