You have nothing to worry about here! Sucking on your partner's breasts will not cause breast cancer. The causes of breast cancer are not always predictable, but some of the higher risks for a woman to be at risk for developing breast cancer include starting the period (menstruation) before age 12, never having been pregnant, first child after the age of 30, never having breast fed a child, being overweight, a family history of breast cancer, drinking more than 14 alcoholic drinks per week, and a sedentary (not physically active) lifestyle.
What you have heard is a myth, and there is no risk for your girlfriend to get breast cancer from the behavior you are describing. Unless you are biting your partner's breasts and causing her pain, there will be no ill effects from this very normal sexual behavior. The breasts are a very sensual area on the body, and many men are also sexually aroused from this behavior as well. Many people pleasure each other in this manner, and as mentioned before, if there is no biting or pain associated with the behavior, there will be no health consequences from this.Reviewed by: Patricia Fawver Ph.D. in Sexology
