The "Marriage Killing Side Effects of Breastfeeding", by a ManO'God:
Advertisements [?]
My favorite quotes:

"Obviously, breast-feeding is not the same as carrying on an extramarital affair. But when a mother gives her breasts to her son and takes them away from her husband, the effect on the marriage can feel the same.

"In the end, there are two effects of breast-feeding that we often refuse to acknowledge. One is the de-eroticization of a woman's body, as her husband witnesses one of the most attractive parts of her body serving a utilitarian rather than romantic purpose...public breast-feeding is profoundly de-eroticizing, and I believe that wives should cover up, even when they nurse their babies in their husband's presence.

"I believe this same problem comes up when men witness childbirth up close. There are certain poses in which a husband should not see his wife...That is just too erotic a part of a wife's anatomy for it to become a mere birth canal."
