My husband finds looking at my full lips to be sexy and so on. This does not mean I can't eat with my mouth or that eating in public is a sexual act. My husband may or may not find it sexy to watch me eat (I've never asked) but if a stranger finds it sexy to watch me eat in a public place he should at least have the decency to keep it to himself because when I eat, it's about nourishing my body not about the sexual gratification of someone watching and there is no one who would question that.

To me breastfeeding is/should be like that. Breasts, like lips can be sexy and sexual in a healthy way but they also have other functions that are not sexual. I want to live in a culture that knows the difference and sees my baby eating as no more sexual than myself eating.
