![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Breastfeeding mothers have faced legal ramifications for nursing their children into toddler-hood or in public, or for photographing themselves while nursing. Breastfeeding in general is considered by some to be a mild form of exhibitionism, especially in Western societies (see breastfeeding in public). The breasts have two main roles in human society: nutritive and sexual. Men in such relationships can become sexually aroused by seeing a woman lactate, having sex with a lactating woman or sucking on her breasts. In heterosexual couples, erotic lactation is sometimes seen as a kink. In lesbian partnerships, mutual breastfeeding has been regarded as a familiar expression of affection and tenderness. ![]() Regularly, the men gave a genuine emotional need as their motive. In its issue of March 13, 2005, the London weekly newspaper The Sunday Times gave a report of a scientific survey (composed of 1690 British men) Indicating that in 25 to 33% of all couples, the male partner had suckled his wife's breasts. Motivations īecause female breasts and nipples are generally regarded as an important part of sexual activity in most cultures, it is not uncommon that couples may proceed from oral stimulation of the nipples to actual breastfeeding. This can be a result of physical reasons (soreness) or psychological reasons (conflicted about her breasts being used other than for an infant). Some women lose the ability to be aroused while breastfeeding, and thus would not find lactation with a sexual partner to be erotic. Nipple stimulation of any sort is noted in reducing the incidence of breast cancer. Unintended milk flow ( galactorrhea) is often caused by nipple stimulation and it is possible to reach normal milk production exclusively by suckling on the breast. The association of pleasure and nutrition holds true as well for the lips, also erogenous zones, where pleasure may have led to " kiss feeding", in which mothers chew food before passing it on to the child. Paradoxically, there is even a school that believes that they are an evolutionary flaw, and can actually suffocate a nursing infant. Other hypotheses include that by chance breasts act as a cushion for infant heads, are a signal of fertility, or elevate the infant's head in breastfeeding to prevent suffocation. One hypothesis postulates that the breasts grew as a frontal counterpart to the buttocks as primates became upright to attracting mates, a model first developed in 1967. Humans are the only primates whose female members have permanently enlarged breasts after the onset of puberty the breasts of other primate species are enlarged only during pregnancy and nursing. Nipple and breast stimulation of women are a near-universal aspect of human sexuality, though nipples in males are not as sexualized. Physiology īreasts, and especially nipples, are highly erogenous zones, for both men and women. "Milk fetishism" and "lactophilia" are medical, diagnostic terms for paraphilias and are used for disorders according to the precise criteria of ICD-10 and DSM-IV. Two persons in an exclusive relationship can be called a nursing couple. Practitioners sometimes refer to themselves as being in an adult nursing relationship ( ANR). Depending on the context, the practice can also be referred to as adult suckling, adult nursing, and adult breastfeeding.
