An Atlanta woman has made headlines by taking a break from her bartending job to breastfeed her boyfriend every two hours. This unconventional decision, she says, is an effort to create “a magical bond that only breastfeeding can achieve.”
Jennifer Mulford and her 36-year-old boyfriend, Bread Leeson, have what’s known as an adult breastfeeding relationship (ABR), according to the Sun. It might sound unusual, but Sex Within Marriage, a site dedicated to intimate relationships, highlights that such practices can help men feel “calmed and soothed,” and even foster better bonding between partners.
Mulford confessed she had no idea about ABR until she stumbled upon it while browsing online.
“When I read about the bond breastfeeding could create between two people, I was intrigued,” she shared with the Sun. “I’ve always enjoyed my breasts being touched during intimate moments, so I felt like this would be something I’d appreciate.”
Determined to explore this unique connection, Mulford took to the internet, scouring personal ads, dating sites, and even Craigslist to find a willing partner. Though her initial search came up empty, she rekindled a conversation with Leeson, an ex-boyfriend from her school days.
