I am curious to learn how you all view or define Adult Breastfeeding vs. Adult Nursing Relationships.
I think of ANR as a longer term symbiosis between two people that enjoys the emotional bond, comfort and simple intimacy of nursing, either wet or dry. In my case, I have been dry nursing for over 20 years and both I and my wife enjoy the closeNess.
For me then, ABF defaults to wet suckling that may be long term or not.
In my view, they are not mutually exclusive and if your ANR is wet, then I would think it also ABF.
Your thought?Oops
I meant to add this, from what I have read ANR and ABF can be wet or dry nursing. At least for me, it’s about the act and the connection, not whether their is lactation involved. Adult Nursing Relationship is a Relationship, whereas Adult Breast Feeding is more casual, not a committed relationship.It seems lots of newbies don’t really understand these distinctions yet.
To me, the ANR is that relationship and ABF is the act of adult breastfeeding. I see it as ANR is the noun and ABF is the verb. I don’t feel like milk is necessary for either. However, I do feel that ABF is more than breast play, that it involves actually suckling and there is a proper way to do that.
Thanks for bringing up this topic/question Linden. I’ve always wondered about the difference between ANR/ABF. I assumed(and you know what happens when we do that smh lol) ANR was more relationship based and the latter more focused on the physical act as well- to Jessica’s point. So it helps to read and have confirmation that my thinking was some what on the right track.ABF-more casual, ANR- more connection. I’m going to have to adjust my profile now.
I like Jessica’s definition and would consider it the community standard.
That said, to reinforce her definition, I see it clearly in the female profiles (no judgement here). There are many women who desire a non-sexual feeding/suckling experience, whether intended or not, that seems to downplay the overall romantic relationship. And there are others who simply require a relationship (platonic or romantic) before any feeding or nursing will commence. ABF is the act, ANR is the committment.Great thread this!
Similar thoughts to those above.
ABF is the activity. Suckling is the action. Very important to get that part right.😜🤗ANR is the relationship that develops. Whether it’s just friends, breasties, BFwb, short term, long term, or whatever.
Just my $.02 worth.Great posts and thoughts. It is nice to see that some folks have similar views as I.
Thank you for your contributions to the thread.
