    I don't think it's controversial... it's just a bit uncomfortable for some people when it's done in public, I think.

    I didn't know it's so controversial but it's obvious it's nature's way. With formula it's made with the same ingredients so mother's can be more discreet with their titles. Just go to the store and buy breast pump. That way you drain the boobies and feed the infant.

    Its not that boobs can be sexual. Whats annoying to me is that chicks post pictures of them breast feeding. Like wtf why do you need to post that? I get it, it's a beautiful thing. Bonding with your child, but posting it is gonna piss people off saying boobs are sexual or other bullshit

      It's not about wanting the world to see your breasts, it's about knowing the baby is uncomfortable with a cover, the woman is uncomfortable with the cover, and when the baby is hungry it's hungry.

      Why is it so hard for people to just not look? We do it well enough for people lying half dead on the pavement. (Have you seen those videos? They're terrible)

      Well anyone can tell you haven't had kids.

      It's a blanket that is being wrestled away by a baby that doesn't want it there, it's being used in all weathers (including the scorching hot) and it's being used while the woman is tryin gto do other shit that the blanket is getting in the way of.

      How is it NOT uncomfortable?

      It's just dumb and innapropriate for people to care so fucking much that a woman is feeding her baby with the lumps on her chest that were put there for specifically that purpose.

      @BaileyisDarcy so mommy's comfort over everybody else's? I hope if I ever AM a mother.. I'm not one of the entitled kind who thinks the whole world should bend over backward for me.

      And if you're a mother.. you're way too young.

      Also I love how a MAN is thumbing me down. Like he's got a dog in this race. Someone just wants to see titties..

      I'm not a mum, no, and I agree I AM too young to be one.

      Nobody is asking the world to bend over, it is NOT HARD to simply NOT LOOK.

      Again, it is proven we can by ignoring the HOMELESS on the street, and people who are LITERALLY PASSED OUT.

      What is it about a baby attatched to a nipple that garners so much attention a dead person can't?

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiS5_oGHzKI
      What is about boobs that attracts more attantion than a person LITERALLY asking for help?

      How about you focus on those people, instead of the ones trying to feed their baby.

      Oh, and by the way, even if I was a mum, little too late to be telling me how young I am. Pretty sure I know.

      @BaileyisDarcy I'm just going to tell you this.. if that was a woman who was well dressed.. or even if it happened in a small town.. I bet people would have helped.

      Most people walk past a guy like that in a city and he reads as dangerous so they keep walking. I'm not saying it's right or wrong but big cities.. you have to be careful.

      That doesn't really relate to showing the world your breast. It's considered a sexual body part.. like it or not. It makes other parents uncomfortable.. they don't want their kids seeing it.

      Not only that, it compromises the mother and baby's safety. We live in a dangerous world with a lot of creepy men.. why draw that attention yourself.

      You keep asking why do people care? Why does that matter? People DO care. I personally don't TBH. But other people do. And the world is not our playground.

      If you couldn't show it in a G rated movie, don't show it in public.

      "so mommy's comfort over everybody else's?" @BaileyisDarcy said "It's a blanket that is being wrestled away by a baby that doesn't want it there, it's being used in all weathers (including the scorching hot)". Our baby did not like a blanket over her while nursing either and flipped it off every time my wife put it over her. Finally, my wife ended the fighting since it was more important that the baby eat. And the baby is under the hot blanket. It is the baby that is uncomfortable.

      MOST guys look at girls in a sexual way.

      @BaileyisDarcy - Good grief! I just woke up and this BS @starliteyes is being dumped on me. As most who have followed me know, I have stated many times that I have attended nude beaches and resorts (with my wife when she was alive) of about 50 years. I have also told of being in a few naked bike rides (along with 10,000 other people in my city). And I have never run any naked races of any kind. I have also answered a question about who has exchanged nude pictures on here with the fact that I have. But it has only been by consent of both parties.

      She sent me a picture of her breasts and suggested more was coming, I probably returned a picture to her, though I do not remember. But I have NEVER demanded anyone send me ANY pictures. As for having a bone to pick with her and making pissy comments to her, I did not even know she was that woman, and I have not been making pissy comments to her. @starliteyes is either in a fantasy land or just making things up completely.

      And my comments on this thread have been completely based on my experience as a father of a nursing child and the problems my wife faced.

      Also important is that the pictures I have exchanged were all long after the death of my wife, none while she was alive.

      Do I like seeing women's boobs? I am a heterosexual male, of course I do. But this conversation has had nothing to do with that. And the BS about me demanding pictures from @starliteyes is just that - - Bullshit.

      I am also amazed that a woman who broadcasts her body and sexual antics to who knows how many people is acting so self righteous about nudity and accusing me of crap. Both because it is not true, and because if was it would be like the pot calling the kettle black.

      @Red_Arrow I didn't say my hands were clean it BUT you did send me messages asking to see more and after I didn't reply you did get pissy. Not only in PM but in public comments.

      One of the public comments was literally bitching I didn't show you my vagina.. but whatever it's cool. Like I said, I'm not pretending to be innocent.. but neither are you.

      Bike ride.. that's pretty close to a marathon, by the way.

      Thing is you're the one coming on my comment trashing my opinion.. you expect me not to bring that shit up. Puhleeze.

      Regardless of what @Red_Arrow sent or did not send, he has a point! Women don't breastfeed to get other men's attention. We breastfeed solely for the benefit and comfort of our child. If formula had the same benefits as breastmilk, I would never breastfeed!!! I've got scratches all over my tits, it is a little uncomfortable when people have something wrong with you feeding the baby, I can't drink, I can't hardly ever leave the house without her, etc. As much as I'd love to have flawless tits, have an occasional drink, go out on dates or by myself, not have to deal with people's uncomfortable stares, my baby's hunger matters to me much more than my own discomfort. If creeps are staring at me feeding my baby, I think that's their issue not mine. I'm doing what my breasts were eveolved to do. And like I said, I've tried a cover but my daughter didn't like it because it kept getting in the way of her feeding and stressed her out which stressed me out which made her stress out more.

      Maybe it's because I can't empathize. I work as a webcam model so I'm no stranger to having strangers see my breasts.. but I would still never breastfeed in public.

      Because the fact is I know some people would not want to see it and I know it would make people uncomfortable.. and it's kind of an intimate mother/child thing that doesn't need displayed.

      That's my personal feelings. If I saw you breastfeeding in public, I wouldn't give a fuck. But I know others would. And I think the PC movement forces too much on your average person.

      "Thing is you're the one coming on my comment trashing my opinion.. you expect me not to bring that shit up. Puhleeze." I did not trash anything! You appeared to misunderstand the comment by @BaileyisDarcy when she said "It's a blanket that is being wrestled away by a baby that doesn't want it there, it's being used in all weathers (including the scorching hot) and it's being used while the woman is tryin gto do other shit that the blanket is getting in the way of." She was talking about the baby's comfort and your replied "so mommy's comfort over everybody else's? I hope if I ever AM a mother.. I'm not one of the entitled kind who thinks the whole world should bend over backward for me." At that point I tried to clarify what @BaileyisDarcy said and meant, by pointing out that my baby had done the same thing and it was the baby's comfort she was talking about. That is clarifying what was said and was not trashing anything. @BaileyisDarcy then thanked me for the clarification.

      Then you came back with "you just like seeing titties. I know that for a fact." My comments in this thread had nothing to do with what I like seeing. You were attacking me to avoid the point that Baily was making. And by the way, when a baby is nursing, its head is in the way so "voyeurs" can't see much of the boob at all. Certainly not the nipple. So less is showing than what gets posted on here.

      You asked in PM if I wanted to see your breasts. I said sure. You sent the picture and I returned one. Beyond that, I probably said something back (PM) but it would not be any demands because I don't do that. I would never ask to see your vagina in public or PM, mainly because I know the difference between the vagina and the vulva.. But I might ask for other pictures, but I would not specify what, and I would not demand. I really wish the PMs were saved longer that they are because I would post the whole conversation on here to show you are not telling the truth.

    May just be me, but it seems to me that only moms breastfeeding are okay doing it in public. Like you said it yourself, before doing it it didn't feel quite alright to you either, so you know why.

    Honestly, I don't care how natural it is, it's not something I wanna witness wherever I go.

    It's looked down upon because it's awkward to make eye contact with somebody breastfeeding their child, it's not that I'm against it but people and I include myself feel uncomfortable when this happens, just that some people feel entitled enough to frown upon people who do it in a *public* place.

    Even if breasts aren't perceived as sexual by you or women, men ate hardwired to associate breasts with marrying as larger breasts generally relate to better ability to feed the child. Like it or not, breasts are tied to sexual health and ability in women. Either understand that men will look, women will be appalled, or do it in private.

    What is wrong with covering up or going somewhere private like I see most women do? I was with my sister at the mall once and she needed to feed my niece so she asked a store manager if she could go to the back of the store, and he told her yes and gave her a chair. Like why make a big deal? I guess in my country women are different.

    Sexualization is the problem here. Guys on the road are waiting for a chance to get a glance at the boobs.

      It's not that we want to show our breasts. It's that we are feeding our baby from them SOLEY for the baby's benefit and people are against it because our breasts are exposed.

      This issue is just stupid from start to finish..
      When you want to eat, you go to a restaurant, when you want to pee, you go to a restroom, when you want to fuck, you find a room, when you want to breastfeed, you find an appropriate place.
      End of it.

      I don't think I was. Was just trying to get my point across, cause I'm tired of this subject.. really.
      One thing is to have no way to avoid it, like it's the end of the world, and the planet is all destroyed.. another thing, is to try and make it a fashion statement. Like an empowerment of some sort.

      I'm sorry but that later one is just stupid. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. There is a difference between an emergency, and doing something on purpose to cause trouble.

      It's okay, maybe I misread your tone. I understand what you're saying. Some women do it because they can and want to cause a scene. Maybe that's so. But for me, it's not that way. My baby gets really angry and fussy when she gets hungry so instead of waiting 5 minutes dealing with a cranky baby just to find an empty place to feed her, I feed her where I'm at. I've tried a cover but she hates it. A lot of babies just push the covers off, so unfortunately for some people a lot of mothers cannot use one.

      Thank you very much 😊

      I get the sense that people cover the whole baby while doing it. That's just ignorant damn! Do they wanna suffocate them kids or what?
      It's supposed to cover aRoUnD their head, also covering the sides of the boob, not over the whole baby.

      And I also agree with the comment of someone about it being an intimate moment of mother and child.

      No, he means me of course. He's now the white knight coming to rescue..

      Because guess what? I'm a man. I'm human. I'm a sexual being, and a boob is still a boob, whether it's feeding someone or not. If you can't see past that, you're a hypocrite.

      That doesn't mean I'm aroused, but there is no point in saying that someone is "indiferent".. that's just hypocrite.

      @Death_of_rats It's not offensive to me. It just bugs me of what kind of person does that in public, you know? Would they show their boobs in any other time of their lives? No. They'd hide it right away, like any normal woman. Then why is it different if there is a baby on it? It is still a breast. It is in the open. It is still visible.

      What kind of person just puts it out like that? When they would never do it in any other situation? (well.. maybe those who do it would... ). I'm not disgusted, I'm not aroused, but I'm not indifferent.
      Is that explanation enough for you?

      if you can't stop gawking, like some sort of simpleton then the problem is your own, not the mother who is innocently trying to feed her kid.

      if you happen to see someone breast feeding, just walk on by. its not an issue.

      oh, actually i forgot we have to be so PC these days because idiots like you are offended by everything.

    People who hate breastfeeding are missing out. How can you? Let's break it down quantitatively;
    1. Boobs are awesome! They are sexual body parts despite their anatomical & physiological purpose. Some tits are down right beautiful.
    2. Boobs get bigger when they produce milk! Score. Read: milky boobs are bigger boobs!
    3. A beautiful part of a woman's body..., produces an incredible food! Double duty score!
    I banged my wife more once her tits got huge from the milk. I don't see a down side.

    breastfeed all you want, just cover yourself up well enough i guess

    otherwise children might think it's ok to show their boobers in public, which prooobably isn't too good lel

    but whatevs im cool with it-- a little awkward, but cool with it.

    I dislike it mainly because it is suppose to be a private moment. I agree that you should breast feed your child but I think that if you can afford a breast pump, use it. If you can feed your child before you go out, do so. I don't make a big deal out of it If I see it in public but I really wish the person wouldn't. It make me uncomfortable. Seeing most people undressed sexual or unsexual, makes me a small bit uncomfortable. So seeing a woman breast feed makes me uncomfortable as well.
