Edit: I do not understand why I am getting downvoted here? It should be fairly obvious that this is not a sexual thing? Do people disagree with it being beautiful?

    Lot of assumptions here. I’m on my 4th, whatever desensitization you think I haven’t been through I have. It doesn’t make this any less weird. My girl would look at me like I’m weird if I said “Y’know babe I just love watching you breastfeed, its so beautiful”. Its just one of those things you appreciate and dont bother putting into words because that makes it weird. Some things dont need to be expressed through words, and those same things definitely come across as weird when posted about online to share with everyone. Thats what I mean, the act of breastfeeding itself or even just seeing it isn’t weird. Its the announcement and speaking of it that mangles the moment.

      This says so much more about you, than OP. Its not a bad thing you feel this way for you, but everyone is different. Your wife thinking its a weird thing, doesnt mean his wife will find it wierd. Maybe they are bonding over it.

      I absolutely hated nursing, but I can understand someone else enjoying it. ya know?

      True enough, upon many things indeed…

      I mean, different people handle the vagaries of childhood differently. Different people handle the intrinsic beauty of the female form differently, and sometimes words are best not spoken, as you say. Perhaps indeed my mind got corrupted (and expanded) about all this by a certain set of fine, memorable gentlemen, one of which managed to put out a certain song!
