Some like the taste of the milk. Some were bottle fed and never got that as a baby so it can be theraputic. Some figure its healthier than cow milk. Some just are fascinated that humans can produce milk, the entire mechanism and process is appealing to them. Some use it for bonding, some for erotica, some as foreplay, some as a sign of ownership can the submissive gives her *everything* up. Some use it as a power play, some because they think it's hot and it turns them on.

Some use it to get and to provide comfort. There are many things I am not doubt forgetting to think of right now.

It really does - as with all things involving humans - depend on the people directly involved, as it is all relative. Mileage varies.

lets not forget that it makes bigger breasts while lactating!!!

Be very very careful with words like these my friend. I nearly became a eunuch after comparing breast milk to cow's milk.

A gentle loving mother with babe in arm, without warning can bear fangs and snarl like no wild Domme she-beast ever dreamt of....

It was too warm and way too sweet. I have no desire to taste anymore.

Since the subject of lactation seems to generate a lot of interest on the board, I thought I'd finally present my (female) take on the natural process. I thought I'd respond today, on Mother's day, even though the original question is in an "ask a master" forum, and concerns induced lactation.

The commonly held view of breastfeeding is that it's altruistic and nuturing. The baby is the only one who gets pleasure. That might be the kink perception, too. The Master enjoys, the slave/sub gives.

In my vanilla experience (as a woman who nursed her three kids) there's far more to the interaction than that. The mother gets great pleasure, too. It's not just psychological (like from unselfish giving). It's physical.

One of the hormones involved in milk let-down is oxytocin. That's the same hormone involved in orgasm. I never got whole body orgasms when nursing. But nursing always led to a lovely feeling of peace and relaxation. If the lactation is natural (like after birth), this oxytocin shrinks the uterus, too (a little bit like contractions during orgasm). In fact, when a nursing woman does have orgasms, her milk also dribbles out.

The feeling of nursing a baby is not exactly erotic, but not exactly unerotic. I think society frowns on recognizing nursing enjoyment because it might seem incestuous to some. Not me. I liked it, for many reasons.

And I do remember being very interested in sharing that experience with my husband.
