Lactation: turn-on or turn-off?

    Moms:
    Do you find that you have more or less of a sex drive when you are lactating?
    Is there anything sexy about breast-feeding?
    Do you have any advice for making sex more enjoyable while lactating?

    Partners:
    Are you attracted to lactating women?
    Do you find breast-feeding beautiful?
    Does a little breast milk leaking during sex bother you or excite you?

    Everyone:
    Share your experiences and thoughts when it comes to sex and lactation.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I'm a lactating mama. I like it. My boobies are huge, I'm making good milk for my little baby, and I can eat a ridiculous amount of calories while still losing weight. Overall, it's a good thing for me.

    But recently, it has been interfering with my sex-life.

    I haven't had any decrease in sex drive - if anything, it is increased. But I keep running into other problems that just leave me (and my spouse) sexually frustrated.

    Pre-baby, I loved nipple play. It was great foreplay. But post-baby my nipples are sore, bruised, or just plain sensitive 90% of the time. Now my husband tends to stay away from my boobies, as he considers them food-producing devices and off-limits for sex. He has a good reason - they tend to leak or feel sore all the time, and attempt at nipple or boob play usually results in a mess.

    The other night, lactating became even more of an issue. We were having great sex. I was really close to an orgasm. He was really into it, I was really into it. Then, out of nowhere, my milk came in. The overwhelming burning sensation associated with over-production. That killed it. I was done.

    Somehow my body confused the signals. Oxytocin is involved with both orgasms and lactation, and apparently rather than an orgasm I got an insane amount of milk, which my daughter wasn't about to eat because she had just enjoyed a giant meal before going down for her nap. I got out my pump and harvested about 20 ounces. We're talking a LOT of milk.

    Doesn't matter to me.
    Although a woman offering her lactating breast to me while being intimate is a turn on...but this would be true even if not lactating.
    For me, it's just the offering. :)

    I should preface this by saying I've never been sexual with a woman who was lactating, so I don't have first-hand experience. That said, it doesn't bother me in theory. I'm not turned on by the idea of a woman leaking milk everywhere during sex, but it doesn't seem like something that would really matter. Sex is messy and there are a lot of body fluids involved at the best of times, adding one more to the mix doesn't seem like it ought to be much of a problem.

    I think the big issue from the sounds of it is more the tenderness and discomfort than the milk. Honestly, being childless it never occurred to me that sore boobs would be a side effect of spawning, but if that's an issue I could see that putting the brakes on bedroom fun more so than leaking.

    fflowley Don't just do something, stand there!

    I thought my wife was really hot when she was nursing our kids.
    I don't think it really impacted our sex life. The utter exhaustion of working and raising children was really the rate limiting step for our sex life at that time.
    I was surprised though how lumpy her boobs felt during that period. You could actually feel firm pockets and sections of the breast where the milk was bunched up.

    I have zero knowledge about this, but is it possible to pump pre-sex and then not have the issue? At least until after sex you might have to pump again?
     
  6. I don't recall it had any effect on me, one way or the other. Of course, after waiting forever for the fun room to reopen not much woud have bothered me.

    Nope, not for me. Pumping beforehand does not improve anything other than the leakiness. The nipple tenderness is worse after pumping and even if I pump, my milk can come in full-force at anytime. But then again, I do have an over-supply issue. Most women seem to be unable to pump 12 ounces, then wait a half hour and easily pump another batch with just a little sniff of a baby. This probably wouldn't be as much of an issue for most women.

    The lactating/nursing in itself is not a turn-on for me. But. A fierce and nurturing mom can be a beautiful, sexy creature. When Mrs Moose is nursing our youngling, I'm not ogling and thinking about bending her over and ravishing her. However, her beauty and my love for her deepen, and that makes me want her more.

    And to agree with the point you made at the top of the thread, the boobs are now off-limits to me. They're often too sensitive to play with now. And, even when I'm cleared to just caress them, the li'l cockblocker wakes up and yells at me for coming near what is clearly his domain.

    Never experienced this so can't say how it would impact me during sex. I like the look of it in porn, seems a little exciting and naughty, which is sort of the point of porn. In porn shots, it always seems to spray out every which way, which I think is funny, I always thought it would be more like a steady stream like from a faucet. Does your husband like the taste of milk? I always figured it was one of those things that no one talks about, but everyone has tried. Certainly if my wife started to suddenly produce milk, I would want a taste.

    I found it fun when my wife was lactating. Aside from making sex a little wet and messy (ie more fun) the was the added bonus of free drinks.

    Not to mention she would make a game of trying to spray me from across the room.

    Bigger boobs!

    I like seeing a woman lactate, and bigger boobs is always a nice side effect. I was actually looking forward to Mrs. Levite lactating for most of the time she was pregnant. I was quite disappointed to discover that, aside from the fact that she had a lot of problems producing, which were hard for her to deal with, her breasts were extremely sore, especially the nipples; and in any case, since she had a C-section, we were forbidden from having sex for 6-8 following Little Levite's arrival.

    From what I have been told, this seems to be quite common.

    I believe the whole lactation thing was one of the few times in my life I actually had an unrealistic expectation created from watching porn. I'd seen and enjoyed porn involving lactation-- a few industrial productions when I was younger, but many more homemade clips on the internet since-- and like a total idiot, it never occurred to me that, even though I had seen more than a few homemade porn clips involving lactation, the enjoyment of the lactating women involved might not be typical of the majority of lactating women. Usually I'm more savvy about things like that, but this one totally slipped by me.

    Other than a little leakage and extra protein for me, it wasn't really an issue and didn't push things one way or another. Soreness of course was a larger issue and dampened things somewhat but such is life. Like so much of parenting, it's a phase and will be behind you before you know it.

    In case anyone is wondering, it just has a simple sweet taste like regular skim milk plus sugar. It's not some mind-blowing ambrosia of the gods or anything.

    Personally I don't fetishize it, but if a woman is doing it in front of me I become self-conscious and try not to stare as my strong cleavage-gaze instinct definitely kicks in.

    this pretty much sums up what happened in our house. Sensitive nipples before baby became so over sensitised and sore as to be completely offlimits.

    ...how could you not try it?

    If it was decent, she'd be pushing me away.

    I'm totally a sucker for easily accessible beverages.
    ...

    That and breastfeeding is way practical and thus a huge turn-on. "Look at that girl using her boobs right!"

    I mean, using your breasts for their intended purpose instead of some double-barreled sternum codpiece is kinda awesome in a world where formula companies have women thinking breastfeeding causes all sorts of problems.

    Breastfeeding was withoutadoubt one of the most sensual experiences of my life and I encourage it wholeheartedly for everyone!

    I was maybe a little disappointed when dad didnt necessarily always want in on the action. I understand it can get a a little dampywet at times, but for me the pleasure was particularly acute, and the warmth was beneficial for all of us.

    Very, very good luck to you GG! Enjoy your pleasures!

    Somehow porn and real life is way different - is it just me?

    I once saw a video where milk jetted out from a woman's nipples while she was having an orgasm. It was a huge turn on to watch.
    But when my wife had a baby, the milk and nursing was totally asexual. I feel it so beautiful but NOT sexual. God's chemistry!?

    Me neither! I was offered. But just did not feel like having...
    After few weeks while being intimate, realized the slight sweet taste (not pouring), didn't mind, was more focused in taking her high LOL

    Enjoy every bit of mother hood

    I've never experienced sex with a woman lactating, I don't know if I'd be up for having a taste, maybe yes maybe no. Leakage or even sustained streams wouldn't be a problem, that's simple human biology. Sex can get messy anyway (period, squirting, etc). As for sensitive nipples/breasts, it would really depend on what she wanted, not what I wanted.

    Any thoughts on breastfeeding in public? I've seen women do so discrettly, & I've seen women walking around nearly topless intentionally drawing attention to themselves. I suspect that one of my SILs used breastfeeding to flash, but she's always been an exhibitionist.

    No matter it is casual or discreet or even exhibitionism I find it absolutely cute a baby suckling its moms breast
    I think people are supposed to see it

    For some weird reason I always think it is good to see breasts and also navel in a casual manner. At some deeper layers of our mind I think those are our earliest rawest most natural connections to another person, our mother.
