Ok....I am a little concerned as my partner wants to drink my breastmilk during sex, I am 30 weeks pregnant and i'm worried that he will take the vital nutrients away, not forgetting the weirdness factor or am i just being a prude?

Please be kind and sensitive :)

I'm not sure this isn't a man posting who is into this. It's a fairly common (not super common, but there are sites dedicated to it, etc) pecadillo.

Thank you PREGNANTMIMI. I think people are maybe thinking my partner wants to lay there like baby whilst I feed him? If so then no it's not the case, I'm sure most men whilst having sex play and suck on their partners nipples? In this circumstance, my partner got a but of colostrum and liked it. The post was to see what other people thought about it, my views were mixed. The post was to see what others thought on the subject as I thought and obviously my thoughts were true that people would be grossed out by it. My views are that there is nothing right or wrong, it's not disgusting, I can separate the two and if that makes me weird or gross then so be it. I feel sorry for some of these partners/husbands. If breastmilk is wrong then what else is!? It's a bodily fluid, just like men women have when they orgasm. Id be offended if my partner didn't want to touch or

What would be the logistics of this? I'm not sure that your DH would be able to get anything out just by sucking anyway as don't babies have a very particular sucking reflex which means that they can feed from breasts? Or does he propose to have you express and drink it from a cup? Or squirt? Actually now I am feeling my morning sickness coming on too...

babybumpx - it's not that breastmilk is wrong, to me it's that breasts are just massively fetishised as sexual symbols, and feeding a baby is the only real respite that women get from that, and the only reminder of their true function. It's kind of a relief. So if my DH was keen even to appropriate that aspect of my breasts I think I'd feel a bit hounded. But if you are happy about it that's great, and you obviously have a very comfortable and warm relationship with your DH, which is also great.

I completely agree with you that men do forget that our breast are for feeding babies, well that's what were made for. On the other hand they are also a sexual thing I guess as they are sensitive and feel nice to be touched, for some women extremely nice to be touched, I myself don't feel the same way but that doesn't mean that because I feel that way, everyone else should too.

so confused as to why all the posts got completely out of hand!
I really would not be shocked if my DH rewquested the same, men can like all sorts of different things. If you dont ask you dont get and if you don't try then how would you ever found out what worked for you as a couple!

your not making bloody snuff movies, I think it's completely normal to be curious.
as someone said earlier, men might find it hard to distinguish between boobs for sex and boobs for babies and you are only going to find out the answer to that one in one way!

Chill out ladies, soon enough we will all be rushed off our feet (if not already) and sex fuzzy memory

babybumpx, you might find better advice on this from this hilarious sex advice columnist Dan Savage: www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/savage-love-sex-after-childbirth/Content?oid=3638451

Through informative sources such as this, I've heard the breast milk thing a popular fetish for some guys... so 'normal' is as 'normal' does. If your partner is open and communicative enough to ask for it during sex, that could be a good sign. Ultimately if it makes you uncomfortable, they should also be understanding enough not to ask again. My theory is that the reason most people feel squicky about it is evolutionary. If adult men all wanted to drink breast milk, and women were all 'yeah, cool', then I suspect indeed that there wouldn't be enough for babies.
