My nipples have always been sensitive and I got my nipple pierced about a month ago. And it made my nipple sensitivity decrease. My nipples can no longer be aroused. I went to my doctor and he suggested that I take out the piercing so that the nerves can repair themselves in order to get my sensitivity back.
