This thread about libido reminds me of a question I've been
meaning to ask you all  -  I've spoken with several women who feel
that they really don't want their breasts to be touched or kissed or
otherwise handled by their husbands now that they are
breastfeeding.  I know of other women who don't feel this way.  I
assume that both perspectives are "normal", although I am
hearing that the former is a bit frustrating for the husbands
(shades of Ezzo :-X) - in some instances though we are talking
about toddlers nursing, so it's been more than a year, and in a
couple of cases more than 2, since husband has had..access..to a
part of his wife's body which he had previously quite enjoyed.

I'm wondering how often you run into this in your own practices?
Also, in your experience is this something which tends to go away
once the woman is no longer nursing?  I would assume so, but I
suppose it's possible that it could be a permanent change.

Anyways, any light anybody can shed on this aspect would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
