> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > I was reading a [Nerve.com](http://Nerve.com) [article on sex and motherhood](http://www.nerve.com/content/baby-love-0) (I know, I know, my first mistake) and a writer mentioned hearing that breastfeeding while masturbating could be very erotic, so she decided to try it out. > > If anyone here has tried it, feel free to add your opinion…but my real question is, does this cross the line in terms of the parent/child relationship? I mean, I doubt the kid at this age is going to remember this and feel abused but despite that does it cross the line into disturbing territory? I personally found it pretty creepy (the whole article pretty much is, but again, that’s par for the course at Nerve)… Yes that woman is finding breastfeeding to be sexual therefore should stop. You know there are laws against this if it results in sexual arousal in any other situation between an adult and child. ---

Yes that woman is finding breastfeeding to be sexual because its resulting in sexual arousal especially orgasm therefore should stop. You know there are laws against this between an adult and child, so why should this be legal just for breastfeeding? If they cant prevent it or purposely look for it, its sex either way. ---

Its a squick factor of 10 alright. (But Why does this thread keep coming back up like stir-fried shoe leather?) ---

> [@HoneyBadgerDC](#): > > Women will often allow their husbands to scooch up from behind and have sex while they nurse an infant, whats the difference? Sounds pretty natural to me. They do? I realize this is an old thread and post, but for a second, I expected to see Shagnasty’s name on this post. :rolleyes: ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > Having sex with a baby next to the bed seems different, though. Physically holding the baby while you jerk off or receive oral, on the other hand…not so good. > > Also, writing an article like that is bound to skeeve your kid out when he gets older. _“You can just put a lid on that judgemental attitude, young man! You know, that article paid for that Big Wheel you were so fond of when you were in kindergarten.”_ ---

It looks like [nerve.com](http://nerve.com) is defunct so chasing that down might be challenging. However a quick google of breast feeding masturbation rendered. [Breast Orgasm: Breastfeeding Arousal Explained](https://flo.health/menstrual-cycle/sex/pleasure/breastfeeding-orgasm-and-masturbating-while-breastfeeding) > The professor believes arousal during breastfeeding is linked to the breasts’ natural response to physical stimulation and the rush of oxytocin which occurs during nursing. Still pretty high on the squick factor IMHO. ---

Looks like she’s still a writer. You can get a NFT of her cervix if you need one for your collection. A bit [NSFW](https://www.instagram.com/cd_clifford/?hl=en), with a small pic of her NFT. Her name is Christen Clifford, easy to find on any social media site if you feel the need to catch up with her. She’s still selling her Baby Love book so you can pick that up too. ---
