ANR does not mean the woman has to be lactating. This is a misconception made by many. It is usually those who are in a fully committed ANR or would like to be in a fully committed in to ANR or those who are in to it for the health benefits that actually lactate. (Sometimes referred as “True ANR”). A lot of couples don't have the time or patients to do what it takes to get the milk flowing and keep it going. But they still consider themselves in to an ANR. These sessions can be from a now and then, a couple times a week or several times a day.

 I don't mind if my wife lactates or not. Its not about the lactation. It is the closeness, intimacy and comfort that I crave from her. I need the emotional healing that only ANR has succeeded in giving me.

For something that several million people are into and is even referenced in the bible. It not wrong. It's just misunderstood.

I believe

I was in a adult nursing relationship with my wife before I even knew what it was. Unfortunately, it did not last more than a few months. You see, growing up I was vary shy. Even in my teenage years I was extremely shy. When someone started talking about sex. I would leave.

Several years go by and I found a wonderful woman who opened her heart to me. She seen right through my shyness and helped my open up. We eventually got married and had a child.

She had a hard time lactating and was about to give up. We tried what seemed like all the natural techniques including massages and pumping. I remembered seeing something online saying, the more milk that we can express the easier it will become.

So I convinced my wife to let me orally extract the milk. After the baby was done of course. We finally had success. This went on for several months. With it came added benefits that I did not notice until it ended. There was peace in the house. Working a stressful job seemed somewhat easier. My wife and I were closer than ever before.

Then one day my wife decided to stop breastfeeding the baby. Now I felt out of place. As much as I loved that intimate time with her. I felt my purpose of being there was gone. My shyness kicked in and I pulled away.

Shortly after, I began to notice differences in our relationship and my stress levels at work seemed to intensify.

About a year later I stumbled across a site on adult breastfeeding relationships. It opened my eyes to possibilities and I realized that my desire for my wife's breasts was normal. The more I researched, the more I found. I became aware of the reasons we became so close during that time but moved apart after she stopped breastfeeding.

I wish I knew then what I know now. I would have never pulled away and I would have found ways to make things easier for her.

Most people who are in to ANR say it has been a real blessing to there marriage.
