I have no words for this

Except for.
I found this via jezebel.com.
Maybe it’s because I wasn’t breast fed, or maybe because I’m not a mom, or maybe it’s the fact that I like my tits the way they are, and not saggy, but I have always found the concept of a small human being hanging off my tit a little, uh, disturbing. Like, don’t get me wrong, I love it when Slick goes to town on my nipple rings, but 1. it’s called foreplay and 2. He’s not an infant.
That kid is seven years old, and still breast feeding? SEVEN?! Lord, the girls gonna be hitting puberty in another 6 or so years, how badly is THAT going to fuck her up? I can honestly say, that I was genuinely disturbed by this, so much where I had a fleeting thought of abuse. Would that fleeting thought be more permanent if her little girls were little boys??
Now, since I am not a parent, nor do I plan on being one, like, ever, some of this post may seem a bit flaky and, for lack of a better term, unguided. BUT, like, breastfeeding establishes a type of bond that is suppose to evolve, and by evolve, I mean that as the kid grows up, the nurturing aspect of parenting should take on a new shape for a growing child. It seems to me that something like breastfeeding a 7 y/o stunts that bond, and could very well cause the child to develop an unhealthy attachment to the mother. Not to mention an ooky view on boobies. Like, did you SEE the end of that clip?! DID YOU SEE IT?! No? GO WATCH IT!
I know why I have boobs. (aside from it being my dads fault) Their not attached to my chest so my boyfriend can suck on my nipples or to play the bongos on them. They are there so I can feed a baby. And to stick hollow 14 gauge needles into the nipples…But, self mutilation aside.. I’m kinda wondering if these girls will fully understand that breasts are not just for a main function…As shitty as it sounds, I’ve always held the belief that breasts DO make the woman, big, small, droopy and all the other sizes and shapes tits come in, these fat deposits are what set us apart from men. Aside from, you know, that hole between our legs, and the lack of a penis. If women didn’t share the same thought as I do, then they would not be getting re constructive surgery post mastectomy.
There is something rather selfish about that mother, I’m not saying that shes malicious or anything, since she seems genuinely feel as if her children should be deciding when enough is enough. But it seems that she is just cornering her girls into co dependency for as long as possible until SHE is ready for them to leave the nest, not the other way around. Not to mention she seems to let her kids walk all over her…But it was only a short clip, and I don’t know this woman from Adam, so it’s just my observation. A mothers job is to protect and nurture, (and to some times give a good ‘ol ass whoopin) and in protecting her children she should also be protecting them from behaviors that in the long run can be deemed detrimental to their self esteem, and mental health. I’m not saying that these kids are gonna grow up to be effin’ batshit, but I honestly don’t see how that is healthy. At all.
Ugh, great. Now when I’m trying to fuck Slick tomorrow night I won’t be able to keep my head when he’s licking my nipples.
I think I’m gonna be sick.

So… that explains Carrig. I kinda had a feeling he’s been hanging off his mom’s tit a little too long…

Yes, it seems weird, it seems too much physical and emotional dependence, but then anthropologists say that it is “normal” to breastfeed until age 7.
Still, what’s normal anymore? We are so outa whack with nature, I don’t think we have a clue.
Here’s a thought - on a less conscious level. instinctually, maybe the mother is trying to protect her young from civilization as we have created it.
Sinister thought: Maybe the mother is a control freak.

Yep, that video is pretty disturbing.

Further evidence that youth (among other things) is wasted on the young.

James- No, it’s actually your fault….
Maggie- maybe both??? I can see how she would be a bit of a control freak, and I also see her trying (in a rather abstract and fucked up way) to protect them. But how “safe” is that really? In any aspect???
Dr.M- You said it dude.
Zaius- Someone sounds like a bitter old man…………….

They are there so I can feed a baby.
Actually, humans are the one case where this is not exactly true. They are also a sexual signal, which is why they are so large, variable and highly innervated in humans, but no other primate. Only (on average )1/3 of the tissue is mammary.
With bipedalism female genitalia became hidden, and so breasts enlarged to advertise sexual maturity. At least that is the thinking in evolutionary terms.
Back to the topic:
Ick! 7years seems a bit much. Like, by at least 5 years.

Anything else you wanna add? Also, are you a chick or a dude

Older dude and zoologist. I wasn’t trying to be critical, but have had run in with female “family” member who insists mens attraction to breasts is cultural and “perverse”, when evolutionary biology tells us a very different story.
That’s all I was after.

Nah, its ok, I understand where you are coming from now.

I come off as “preachy” at times. I teach college courses in biology and evolution, and sometimes I’m shocked at how little my students know, especially about human origins and the evolution of human behaviors. It is really one of the more fascinating areas of human biology (Okay…it is to me anyway).
It irritates me how our country tries to ignore the topic to keep the fundybots happy, so students rarely hear about it in high school and are shocked when they run into it in college. They’d understand themselves better if they knew.
Yeah, there is actually an evolutionary reason why a magazine like “Juggs” exists. Weird but true.

No, I find it pretty interesting also, and I’m not going to lie, my education on the matter is pretty slim, so by re reading your comment, I can fully appreciate the power of my tits. Really? Juggs?!

I had a female friend in the 1970’s who decided to breast feed her son until he decided to wean himself. At five he could tackle her, rip her shirt off and latch on to that tit like his life depended on it. If she resisted, he’d bite her a good one. It seemed a little wrong to me, but I chose not to procreate so what the fuck do I know? As for the video clip–what the fuck! Those girls get to suck on mommy’s titties until they go to college or get married!!! Now that’s just whacked. I bet those girls grow up to be lesbians, saying nothing bad about lesbians–just what man has titties to suck on like mommy’s?

just what man has titties to suck on like mommy’s?
Well, there’s always Bob
Really? Juggs?!
Yeah. Humans are even more visually dependent than most other primates. No overt sexual phermones like most mammals (excluding marine mammals…which appear to cue in exclusively on sound. Would that equate to ear porn?). Probably human phermones exist, but they are very subtle in their effects. No where near the scale of the visual cues.
Hence, porn and also all the various cultural norms about nudity and sexuality (I can’t recall the exact Pacific Island tribe, but in one of them, if you were to surprise woman who was nude, she would cover her navel as an act of covering her nakedness) .

Both our girls were weaned by 18 months, which seemed plenty old enough. That video creeped me out something fierce, the kid all crawling up inside mommy’s shirt, etc. Ewwwww . . .

See, now, I work with kids, and seven years old is second grade, and thought of any of those kids still breastfeeding… damn, that’s just creepy.
