Lactation Isn't Just For Babies
By Lauri Jean Crowe
Published December 2000

Lactation occurs when the body produces breast milk and emits that fluid through the milk ducts in the breasts. Typically it occurs around the fifth month in pregnant women and continues as long as the woman is breastfeeding or the milk ducts are being stimulated to produce milk. However, as many women know, lactation can continue long after you are done delivering your child and well after you have completed nursing your infant.

So, what do you do with leaky squirting breasts? You enjoy them just like you enjoyed your breasts prior to pregnancy. You nurture them, massage them and lavish them with love. You marvel at the fullness that lactation produces and you allow your partner to experience and partake of the joy of a lactating woman right along with you.

I recall when I first got pregnant and my husband’s friend said, “Wait ‘til they squirt across the room when she has an orgasm”. He had a sly smile on his face speaking of wicked thoughts he didn’t wish to express further. His wife, turned down her eyes and sort of giggled. My husband and I wondered just what the big deal was, after all thus far my breasts were just a hazard when we went out, leaking through clothing and needed to be dried, mopped or padded as they dribbled fluid waiting for a baby’s mouth. (Picture is not the author)

Then it happened. There I was, pregnant as could be, doing it dog and my nipples began squirting milk across the room and hit the bedroom wall. It made me laugh, it turned my husband on. I suppose it’s akin to the cum shot of porn having suddenly been transposed onto a woman’s breast. And it kept making me laugh every time it happened, and it kept turning my husband on, almost as much as it turned him on to taste my breast milk.

Now, some would call us heathens just for talking about tasting breast milk, but I tasted it to. After all, had to know what I was feeding my child didn’t I? Needless to say my husband briefly suckling at the breast became a novel part of our foreplay for a time, and we always wondered when that crescendo performance of breast milk spurting would occur, and we always laughed when it did.

I think that men and women need to eradicate the taboos which exist for pregnant women’s breasts. No doubt many will be outraged by my statements herein, there’s a whole camp of people I don’t understand who think that lactation is only to be reserved for the needs of the nursing infant. However, if we forget that our breasts can be sources of joy and sexual arousal, and start regarding them as simply a food source we devalue what it is to be a woman. Lactation isn’t just for babies.
