He started asking for breast milk when our baby was only a week old. He would walk around anytime I was breastfeeding and say something like, “It’s my turn when he’s done.” I didn’t take him seriously at first but when he kept saying it, I felt it was sex he was looking for. We hadn’t done it in months and I could understand his need to be intimate.

I felt his touch one dawn but continued sleeping until I felt something that jolted me out of my sleep. I woke up to see my husband breastfeeding.

The baby had been moved far from me and he was in the baby’s position busily suckling. He would leave the left one and jump to the right one. The room was dark but I could see the grin on his face. It felt weird at first so I was tense. “What are you doing?” I asked him. He placed his second finger on his lips telling me to keep quiet. For the next fifteen or so minutes, he drank from my well while playing with me.

We ended up doing the deed and to be honest, it became the best I’d ever had. It felt different. His energy was on another level. For the first time in so many years since we met, I got to the promised land while he was on top. He slept until late morning. He woke up to tell me, “I slept like a baby.”

Since then, it has become a thing we do whenever very often. It’s his turn when the baby sleeps at night. He has done it on some afternoons too. It doesn’t always lead to knacking but dear, he grabs them with both hands whenever he gets the chance. He would see me breastfeeding and go like, “Don’t give everything to him. Reserve some for Dady.”

Does Marriage Benefit Men More Than Women?

He looks addicted and I’m concerned when I’m not able to produce milk, this new thing we’ve found, this new bond and passion will wane and it won’t be the same again until maybe the next baby comes. Our baby is fourteen months old now so slowly we are getting there. I don’t know if this is normal but if anyone has experienced same, I want to know how they managed when the milk ran dry.
