But hey, what's wrong with breasts being sexual.

In Norway 98-99% of the mothers of well newborns breastfeed their
children. We also have sex in this country. I have *never* heard of
anyone being accused of sexual abuse because of breastfeeding. So in
my opinion your remarks do not point to "what is wrong with breasts
being sexual", but perhaps to other wrongs?

Such notes is perhaps better sent in private?
