hey there,
i'm six months pregnant and have been leaking breastmilk for two months now. it normally happens before, during and after sex. at first i thought my partner would be turned off, but in fact he got real turned on and made a point of suckling me as part of foreplay and during sex. last week he brought me a gift - three nursing bras - and ask me to wear them in bed. since then he has opened my nursing bra every night to suckle, waking me up. now he's asking if i will breastfeed him daily before the baby is born, and then let him feed after the baby has had his/her fill of my breastmilk. i didn't honestly know what to say to this!
women: has anyone else experienced this with their partners? men: is this a normal fantasy? anyone: how long do you breastfeed your partner for? longer than you would breastfeed your baby for?
does anyone think that this changes the relationship, i.e. the woman becomes a nourisher, a mother, rather than a sexual partner?
any advice would be great - i don't want to do something weird! i should point out that i would have no real objection to my partner suckling, unless it's really frowned on by society in general.
Look at this site. Your bf is just fine. Lots of guys like suckling thier wives. I believe nursing is positive behavior that will strengthen your bond not weaken it. Maybe not mainstream; but nothing harmful. In my opinion anyway. Besides, if you are lactating now, your body ought to produce enough milk for all of you.
