And I realized that I love my son more than I love my husband. I know Felix's body better than I know my own. Right now, his ear is exactly as long as my middle finger from knuckle to tip. He has a patch of dry skin on his left shin. His fingers still splay like starfish, hot against my skin. I lean in too close; I want to get a whiff of his breath. When I read him a book, I surreptitiously press my lips to his hair over and over, very lightly so he won't notice and bat my hand away. He knows I'm too into him. When I feed him, he pushes my face away. He wants the breast and the milk, not the mother. I'm terrified he'll grow up to be one of those boys in high school who only look at women's breasts, not their faces. I worry that I will be jealous of his girlfriends.

Sometimes I'm afraid I go too far. I linger a little too long when I look at his little dimpled ass. I enjoy it too much when I put lotion on after his bath. I know everybody loves a naked baby; I know children are inherently sexual; I know it's normal to be turned on by your infant. One fatherhood book has a sidebar that tells new dads not to get freaked out if they get a hard-on. But this is tricky territory. Is it wrong to encourage him to touch himself? Is it okay to think of my baby when I masturbate? Is that just a manifestation of his all-consumingness? Babies are like a gas — they expand to fit all available space.

For someone who has, for better or worse, gotten strength and power from being desired, I am now operating unsuccessfully in two parallel universes. On one hand, I have never been so desired in my life. Felix ravages my breasts as no one else ever has. It's not sexual hunger, it's actual hunger. Even now, at a year and half, he runs from across the room at the sight of them, tackles me onto the floor or couch, climbs up my body until he's within reach, then draws back and takes a good look, grins and goes in for the attack. People always say of breastfeeding, "It's sensual, not sexual." But it is sexual. He nuzzles and paws at me, grunts, throws his head from side to side as he latches on, his pink mouth warm on my nipple. He tries to get as much as he can into his mouth as his whole body burrows into me, his little heels digging into my thighs and still-soft belly. He kneads the breast he's nursing from with his hand to get more milk, and uses his free hand to tweak, twist and pull on my other nipple. I wonder if he's holding onto it protectively, so no one else can get it.

You have to be kidding yourself to ignore that it's different between mothers & their children than it is with fathers. The mother carried the child for 9 months & mothers breastfeed their children. Fathers do neither of these things, so both parents cannot be judged equally - duh.
Also a woman/mother is incapable of raping a child like a man/father is. So your claim that people are being sexist is invalid.

WOMEN CAN COMMIT RAPE. A CHILD CANNOT GIVE CONSENT, NO MATTER WHAT. THEREFORE, ANY PERSON OF ANY GENDER INITIATING SEXUAL CONTACT AGAINST A MINOR CHILD IS COMMITTING RAPE. WHAT IS SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO COMPREHEND?
This shit is why male victims of sexual abuse cannot get proper help. Fuck I hate people.

That is just so repulsive, but I'm thinking that some of the BFing women who read it probably got so turned on, they hauled their kid out of the crib and got the Rabbit out of their goody drawer. *ewww* ick-shudder-neck crawlies
