Conservative family values
As a maternity nurse, I often sneak in ANR by counseling expecting couples that open-minded dads-to-be can help bring in the milk by suckling as due date approaches. I often get chuckles from couples and some actually try it. I think ANR just before regular maternal nursing begins is the blueprint for a successful family. …
Candid explanation of end goal, for ANR lovers and haters alike
Imagine we live in a time and place where being affectionate is seen as weak, infantile and taboo. “Real men and women past the age of 5 don’t cuddle” and “skin-to-skin contact is strictly reserved for mother and child” are our national ethoses. But using biblical, medical and anecdotal evidence, I respectfully challenge and oppose…
How can I love her less if I drink her 7% sugar daily?
To the ANR critic out there, I want you to consider this: if I daily drink something of which 7% is sugar,[1] straight from her, do you really think I’ll love my wife any less? I know 7% seems like a small amount, but if you consider the facts that 7% of anything in your…
It’s a totally different dynamic

(That, it certainly is). But it further assumes that it must remain only between mother and child while it need not be confined to that dynamic.…
My increased respect for femininity
A few years ago, someone accused me of seeking to degrade my future wife. Trying to see things from the ANR critic’s perspective, in this fallen, self-centered, porn-infested world of ours, the conclusion that a man who desires something sexual and unusual from a woman only seeks to use her for his own one-sided enjoyment…
What kind of weirdos are you people??!!
We ANR-loving people are “weirdos” who: Have all-day custody of your children at daycare Teach them in all grades beyond daycare Shepherd your churches Hold public service jobs Provide you emotional support during labor Care for your elderly parents Hold corporate titles like Financial Advisor and Research Analyst Care for you when you’re sick or…
Your lifestyle is sinful, although I can’t prove it biblically
If you were ever in a situation in which confiding your ANR practice/interest to a pastor or elder is met with a surprising rebuke, with said church leader trying to convince you of its sinfulness, I think you should strongly consider leaving that church. Regardless of what anyone says, the Bible in no way, shape…
