    bored now.

    It would have been one thing if this article had, you know, explored whether or not women who breastfeed their sex partners felt fetishized or turned on, what the physical sensation actually felt like, how safe it was and what kind of precautions needed to be taken, how widespread this fetish is, what the causes might be, etc. An in-depth article on this phenomenon might actually be interesting.

    But all this was was an ad for yet another book-length paean to the Cult of Lactation. We get it. You've demonstrated that you are mammals. Now go publish this tripe in Earth Goddess Wannabe Weekly or Oprah or whatever and free up magazine real estate for something that isn't just a first-world problem. I can't believe this was put out by any press associated with Harvard.
