We moeten het even hebben over Borstvoeding geven aan mijn vriend

Of course, I really love giving tips for the best series and movies to stream, but sometimes the internet is just a very dark place. A grim place. And apparently, that place is now Videoland, because the documentary Breastfeeding my Boyfriend is on there and I have a lot of questions. Before I start, I should mention that I haven't seen it and that it's not exactly on my agenda.

Look, I think the whole message behind the documentary is really good: breaking taboos. I'm totally for that. And everyone should especially do what makes them happy. Also in their relationship, in the bedroom — it doesn't matter. But breastfeeding adults, that's where I draw the line.

This is what the British documentary is about. Different couples are followed, where the woman breastfeeds her partner. ‘It can strengthen your relationship, it doesn't have to be sexual,’ is said by one of the couples.

But it can be sexual, in the case of Lana and Shawn, who met online. ‘When she was pregnant, she had a lot of milk. That really amazed me,’ he says. Lana herself says: ‘When I breastfed, I felt so much love. Unconditional love. I missed that and that's why I wanted to start again with my boyfriend.’

Tip and Button are also a couple, and by now Tip has been on Button's breast about four to five times. Cozy. This couple says they couldn't find much information online about breastfeeding adults. Now I've also done some research and what turns out: it's not healthy at all.

The Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine actually researched this after it became a trend among bodybuilders to drink women's milk. Miracles have not yet left the world, because this is a sentence I honestly never thought I would write. But well, those bodybuilders can stop that again: it doesn't help with muscle building (which they initially thought).

There are actually no health benefits at all. I haven't read the entire study but I did read the conclusion: women's milk is absolutely not for adults. Yet they refer in this study to people who really feel better after consuming human milk, much better than after cow's milk. They also have an answer to that. Quite simple too: classic case of placebo effect.

Now I'm curious if anyone has actually seen this documentary and can tell me if it's worth watching or if you mainly watch it because it's really too bizarre for words? Again, everyone has their own fetish and preferences, that should all be possible, but if it's really not good for your health, I still have my doubts. For now, I'll just skip it.
