When I’m operating under the influence of the flesh, nothing works for me. Believe me, I’ve been through it. Absolutely nothing brings me peace. It’s times like these when I have car accidents, family and friends lose patience with me, or experience other adverse events. I’m now quite convinced that’s a test of genuine conversion:…
A married man also likes having the time of his life. Humour
Postpartum or postnatal depression is major depression some women experience after childbirth1, 2. It can eliminate a woman’s natural desire to bond with her infant3, along with the urge to nurse. In fact, when it sets in, it’s often detrimental to breastfeeding.4 Rather than face such familial agony, I propose a better way to resolve…
Like RC Sproul five and a half years ago, Pastor Tim Keller has gone to be with the Lord today. And just like Dr. Sproul, I felt saddened, almost like one would for a family member.

Over the past few years, I’ve often wrestled with and wavered between seeking solutions involving breast milk, without sinning, as in Ancient China, and seeking other expressed solutions involving milk here in the US. However,…
“A woman who finds breastfeeding a man itself rewarding, without him doing anything intimate for her in return is pathetic.” — woman who doesn’t share your excitement about husband breastfeeding “When nursing my baby, my breasts are completely off limits to my husband.” — 99% of women The older I grow, the stronger my conviction…
The whole counsel of God considered, we deduce only two functions of the female breasts. They serve a sexual purpose, as in Proverbs 5:19, and a life-giving one, as celebrated in verses like Isaiah 66:11.

This paper explores the weird and fascinating practice of adult breastfeeding in Ancient Rome. In it I examine possible connections between historical-mythological depictions of women breastfeeding their own parents, the columna lactaria and pharmacological uses of human breast milk in the medical and scientific writers. Ultimately I argue that the social perception of adult breastfeeding at Rome…
