An Atlanta woman, Jennifer Mulford, has taken a leave from her bartending job to breastfeed her boyfriend, Brad Leeson, every two hours. This unique arrangement aims to create a special connection that they believe only breastfeeding can provide.
This relationship dynamic is known as an adult breastfeeding relationship (ABR). According to sources, such as the Sun and Sex Within Marriage, men involved in ABR often feel calmed and soothed, and it can strengthen the partnership bond.
Mulford discovered ABR while browsing online articles. She explained, “When I read about the bond breastfeeding could create between two people, I was envious. I have always enjoyed my breasts being touched during sex, so I knew I would enjoy it.”
Initially, Mulford attempted to find a partner interested in ABR through various online platforms including personal ads, dating sites, and Craigslist, but had no success. Eventually, she reconnected with her ex-boyfriend from school, Brad Leeson.
While they were catching up, Leeson mentioned his preference for women with larger breasts, which gave Mulford the perfect opportunity to introduce the idea of adult breastfeeding. Leeson showed immediate interest and began researching the practice on his own.
Mulford recalls the moment, saying, “At that moment I knew that I had a partner for life. We both wanted the same thing out of the relationship — a magical bond that only breastfeeding can achieve.”
Since it had been 20 years since Mulford last breastfed, she had to begin a process involving pumping and dry feeding to stimulate milk production.
The practice of adult breastfeeding relationships has sparked interest and curiosity. In a 2012 Reddit “Ask Me Anything” thread, a woman in an ABR answered questions about her experience, clarifying that the practice is “not infantilism.” She described it as both a sexual and emotional experience for her and her boyfriend.
“To each their own,” she noted, “but there are far stranger fetishes out there.”
