Some great ideas have been offered.  If I can play devil's advocate for a
moment. How extensive is the curriculum for this class in Human Sexuality?
Does it go beyond the basic "tab A into slot B" approach?  I would hope that
breastfeeding is being discussed in the broader context of what makes us
"male" or "female" rather than breastfeeding as a sexual act.

If I were doing such a class, I would spend a little time dispelling the
common idea that breasts are for sex first, and other functions somewhere
down the line of importance.  I like to point out that lips can be very
sexual, but we don't downplay their functions in talking or eating because
it embarrasses us.  Yet, because breasts have a sexual function, our society
seems to feel their nutritional function should be hidden or downplayed.
