Seems to me that both Salome and Mussgy missed my point - yes, m'dear Salome, I know where babies come from. And yes, Muggsy, I was born of a woman after the usual fashion. Knew it when I was five, and knew what the proper terms for the necessary equipment were and looked like, too. Shocking as it is, my mother showed them to me from this giant sex encylopedia-type book she had, and that I was perfectly welcome to read at any time. Hilarious.
My point is this: It is uncomfortable for me. Would I jump up and demand a nursing mother stop? Absolutely not. Not only is that completely rude and moronic, I don't think there's anything wrong with breastfeeding one's kid. Yay! Breastfeed away! That doesn't mean I don't find it uncomfortable to glance over and find some random woman's breast partially exposed. In such a situation, I simply find something else to look at.
This said, I don't see why a mother isn't sexy or sensual merely because she's a mother. I should hope a mother breastfeeding IS a sexy thing (not in the pornographic sense, though that wouldn't exactly bug me) - after all, how else did she get that baby in the first place!
maybe we ought to shred that whole 'Mothers are innocent, pure, and wholesome' crapola for once and all.
That whole ideal is probably why I don't want to become a mother..it's repulsive to me that I'd lose my sensuality and sexuality in people's eyes simply because I have a baby attached. Jeez. NO wonder may women feel like crap after they have kids. They are denied the right to be sensual, sexy, and earthy. Ugh.
