Breastfeeding analogy

I compare the choice to bottlefeed with the choice to have a celibate
marriage. It's not that people who chose celibacy arent loving and committed
to each other, it's just that they are missing out on a deeper dimension of
their relationship. Breastfeeding your baby, like sex, allows for a more
intimate expression of love as well as a deeper understanding of your
partner on a more personal level. It's a relationship in which both partners
contribute and communicate. Perfect nutrition is only one aspect
breastfeeding.
