> [@even\_sven](#): > > Healthy response: “WTF? Well, I wasn’t expecting that! Hey friends, have you ever experienced anything like this? I guess it makes sense- my boobs have been an erogenous zone for the last few decades and I am flooded with oxytocin. Golly, the body sure is a funny thing. I guess I better start looking at pictures of Dick Cheney while I breastfeed or I’m going to have to start scheduling some ‘me’ time after feeding. Man, people sure are wired weird!” > > Unhealthy response: WTF? Holy shit, this is totally not happening. Nobody can ever know this is happening- I don’t think I can even face other mothers with this terrible secret. I must be the worst mother ever. I’m a pedophile who is going to ruin her children. I’m sick and probably going to hell. OMG what is Billy touches his penis? It’s probably my fault! I better swat him if he does that, because we are both going to hell. I should feel nothing but shame. I’m an evil person." > > Obviously there is some room in between. The point is not that I think this is okay, but rather that I think it’s a fruitful place for honest conversation about a touchy issue that is probably more common- though not to this degree- than we admit. If we were talking about having honest conversation about a touchy issue, well then I’d be right with you. ---

My wife has told me before that the act of breastfeeding occasionally serves as a mild involuntary stimulant - she’s not comfortable with it, but understands what’s going on physically. And she took one look at the thread title and said “What the fuck? Ewww!” Consent issues aside, there’s a singular purpose to breastfeeding, and to make it something sexual is completely out of bounds, and can fundamentally warp the mother-child bond that breastfeeding helps foster. In short - if you must rub one out whilst having your ta-tas manipulated, put the damn baby down and grab a pump, or your husband, or something. ---

I know for a fact (u can look it up) that it is normal for a mom to feel aroused down there when she breastfeeds…the first time my baby latched on good after a few days at home after we left hospital, I felt the same thing…it freaked me out n I felt ashamed but I talked to my mom, she said that happens sometimes…but I in no shape fashion or form felt a need to masturbate because of the stimulation…that’s taking it a little far…for u dumb asses saying “its gross to think ur baby turns u on” let me tell u it’s hormonal, I read all about it…so don’t feel ashamed but masturbating while breastfeeding is taking it a step to far…ur tuning a loving experience into a sexual one with ur child…when my baby was done the feeling went away n I didn’t think about it…its normal for some women…just don’t turn something beautiful into something ugly, wrong, and sexual ---

I would if I was a lady. Having your titties sucked on while your doing the sex is awesome. I wouldn’t tell anyone though. That’s just messed up. ---

Do other mammals have a wank while breastfeeding? If it were a legitimate thing anywhere, it would be in the animal kingdom, where there are no inhibitions regarding incest or homosexuality or morning breath. Do mammals besides humans even eroticize the nipples? (Can you titilate an ocelot?) ---
