What's Okay?  What's Not Okay? Adult Nursing
by Paul Byerly

 

Adult nursing means the wife nurses the husband. While this would include a man "sampling" breast milk while his wife is nursing a baby, having an "adult nursing relationship" means much more than this. Serious adult nursers continue long after the children have stopped nursing, maybe even after they have grown and left home. Others come to adult nursing after the woman has stopped nursing children, working very diligently to "re-lactate" so the woman has milk for the husband.

Those who have this kind of relationship say it is a real blessing to them, and their marriage. Most freely admit it is at least partly a sexual thing, but many say it is far more than just sexual. Having done some searching we can not find any evidence that there are health reasons to avoid adult nursing, nor can we find a Biblical principle that would preclude it. For some it may be a fetish, but for some it is not. As long as both husband and wife understand the dedication it takes to keep the milk flowing, and both are fine with that, we cannot see a reason to say adult nursing is wrong.
