Does breast sucking lead to sagging?

Published by

My wife does not want me to be sucking her breasts when making love because she claims that the sucking will make her breasts sag. Kindly let me know if this is true since I enjoy sucking my wife’s breasts.

Many women blame breastfeeding or sucking for breast sagging but this is not correct. While pregnancy can change the elasticity of ligaments in the breasts, breastfeeding and sucking merely change the size of the breasts but has little impact on the elasticity of the skin. Smoking, on the other hand, is a direct antagonist to elastin, the substance that makes all skin supple, which can lead to sagging breasts. In addition, sucking done in a rough manner during romantic periods by men can also affect the breast’s elasticity and may promote sagging.
