[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, are you actually saying you think women get off on nursing their toddlers?  Have you ever nursed a child? It's about the most unsexual, unexciting activity ever. Give me a break.[/quote]

It wasn't all that for me, but lots of granola websites sell breast feeding and extended breast feeding as pleasurable for the mom.

Did you read those articles? The pleasure isn't exactly the sexual pleasure you imply. It's more of an oxytocin induced satisfaction. [/quote]

I never said "sexual." Other people read "pleasure" as "sexual pleasure."  I said that there are women who do extended breast feeding  for their own pleasure -- what you refer to as "oxytocin induced satisfaction."  They're not weaning because they are getting physical pleasure from the experience. In my opinion, encouraging dependency because it contributes to  your pleasure (sexual or otherwise) is creepy and wrong.  It doesn't have to be sexual to be wrong. It's smothering.[/quote]

I agree with you.  I would never encourage my toddler to do anything just for my pleasure.  But I wouldn't put nursing in that category.  I don't find it pleasurable at all.  [/quote]
