The experience of breastfeeding a partner (Adult Nursing Relationship or ANR) is subjective and can vary widely, but often involves pleasurable physical sensations for the person breastfeeding, alongside emotional connection and intimacy for both partners.
Physical Sensations
-
Pleasurable Let-Down Reflex: The release of oxytocin during milk ejection can trigger a pleasurable sensation similar to, or including, an orgasm in some individuals. This is due to oxytocin's role in both lactation and sexual arousal.
-
Nipple Stimulation: The act of suckling stimulates the nipples, which can be a source of sexual arousal and pleasure.
-
Hormonal Effects: The hormonal shifts associated with lactation, particularly increased prolactin and oxytocin, can contribute to feelings of calmness, relaxation, and bonding.
Emotional and Relational Aspects
-
Intimacy and Connection: ANRs can foster a deep sense of intimacy and connection between partners. The act of breastfeeding can create a strong emotional bond.
-
Sensuality and Eroticism: For some couples, ANR is integrated into their sexual relationship and enhances their sensuality.
-
Power Dynamics: It's important to consider the power dynamics within the relationship. Open communication and mutual consent are crucial to ensure a positive experience for both individuals.
Considerations for Inducing Lactation
If the person breastfeeding is not already lactating, inducing lactation through methods like medication, herbal supplements, or frequent nipple stimulation is necessary. These methods can have varying degrees of success and may require consultation with a healthcare professional.
