Hi - I am 22years old, a recent college grad, and a strong young woman. I am not at all self conscious about my body with clothes on, but when it comes to taking them off it is an entirely different story. I have had inverted nipples my entire life and this is a great source of in-security for me. It has come to the point where is has inhibited me from having intense romantic relationships because I have never felt comfortable being nude in front of anyone else. 2 past relationships blew up because of this, the first left because he felt that I did not trust him enough to be open with him. The second I had this discussion with while he was out of town via the internet and he decided that it was something that he could not handle.
I have gone to see a cosmetic surgeon that told me that if the operation was done, there may be a chance for the nipples to revert to the original position plus I would not be able to breast feed or may lose feeling in that area. At this point I have no idea what to do. The only people who know of this situation are my parents and my doctor. The parents have the usual advice - "one day you will find someone who will accept you for all that you are and all that you aren't - don't worry - it isn't unusual."
is there anyone out there who has inverted nipples and found love? Is there anyone who has a lover that has this problem? At this point I feel very lonely - it seems like other things in my life is working except for relationships. I just want to know if people do have active sexual lives - how do they go about telling their partner? Or have they had an operation to correct it?
Any contribution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your time!
