Just throwing my 2 cents in here but I for one found Fiona's article
intriguing.  Yes, I did find it somewhat shocking as I had no idea about the
porn industry's vested interest in lactation.  However, for myself and I'm
sure many others, breastfeeding is *not* a sexual experience but is
definitely a *sensual* experience.  I do believe that many women don't
breastfeed because they fear it will negate their sexuality in their
relationship with their partner.  I can see only good coming from more men
and women learning to accept the innate sensuality of breastfeeding.
