Dr. Jack, Good luck with the interview. You have such a no-nonsense, bf is perfectly normal approach, that I don't see how you could not do a wonderful job. I think the sexual feelings issue has to do with semantics and context. Personally I have never felt what I would consider sexual or orgasmic feelings while bf. However, the feelings are very sensual, i.e. involving many senses. And can be overwhelming to the point of tears and great joy, sort of like falling in love and making love in those early days/months with your mate. (and really, what you are doing is falling in love with your baby). And if you consider a woman's sexual reproductive cycle to include pregnancy, parturition, lactation, then lactation can be called sexual. Webster's gives this as the definition for sexual: 1. of, relating to, affecting, or typical of sex, the sexes, or the sex organs and their functions. 2. implying or symbolizing erotic desires or activity. 3. of or involving the union of male and female gametes. So I think bf is #1 if breasts are considered sex organs, which they could be since they are part of the reproductive cycle, as much as the uterus is, I would say, to grow and nourish a baby.
