Do I have to be pregnant or lactating to participate in ANR?

Not at all! Though lactation can be a part of an adult breastfeeding relationship, it doesn’t necessarily have to be. You don’t have to be pregnant or lactating, and there are ways to induce breast milk production without getting pregnant.

This shouldn’t be a fetish. Why would someone sexualize breastfeeding?!

Anything can be sexualized – humans are funny that way! Intimacy looks different for each partnership, and kink-shaming is not tolerated here.

Humans are complex creatures with different needs and desires, and if being in an adult breastfeeding relationship fills some desires in your relationship. Ignore those who are closed-minded, as most of the time, it’s just a knee-jerk reaction to the words they see and if they don’t take the time to understand what an adult breastfeeding relationship entails.

Besides, it’s really not so strange. How many times has someone played with or touched their partner’s breasts? Breast play is common in many relationships, and an adult breastfeeding relationship isn’t too different from that.

If being in an adult breastfeeding relationship provides a satisfying experience and you find it has helped deepen the bond you and your partner share, there shouldn’t be any issues.
