Navigating shame associated with fetishes

Hello! For some reason I was apprehensive to post about this fetish of mine (it’s actually my most prominent fetish) because I was fearful of opening up about something I haven’t even told my ex. I have noticed that I feel some shame around this fetish of mine and I was hoping to alleviate that shame by discussing it on here. I have a breastfeeding fetish, which doesn’t even have to involve lactation but I just find great pleasure in nipple and breast sucking. I have vivid dreams about it quite consistently and I even had a dream about it last night. I have had this fetish ever since I became more aware of my sexuality, that it was actually the first porn video I looked up when I was younger. However, after I watch a porn video involving that I feel a twinge of guilt. I have nagging thoughts that I have “disturbing mommy issues” (my mom and I have a wonderful relationship) or that I am sexualizing and getting off on something that babies and young children do naturally, which makes me feel even worse. I know that quite a few people experience shame around a fetish, such as people with feet fetishes or even rape fantasies, but I was wanting some insight to help alleviate the shame I feel around this particular fetish. Thank you for taking the time to listen :heart:

Yo you kidding? I got that fetish too! It’s not disgusting or “mommy issues” at all! You have to remember an actual, real fetish is being naked, wearing an actual diaper and being treated like I literal infant. Being given milk formula in a bottle and everything. It’s a real thing. So wanting to suck on some boobs is NOT disgusting or gross or even that out there. Actually theres a LOT of hentai like that. And honestly I’m into it too. The nipples are a fantastic place for pleasure and if you suck a girls boobs I’m positive they will enjoy it. So to recap, it’s not gross or unusual, I have that exact same fetish, so I hope this helps you feel less guilt. :heart:
Also a good way to maybe help alleviate the guilt is maybe get more in touch with it. Put yourself in a calm and self love environment and just indulge and see if it helps. Also maybe get in touch with a professional who can help you experiment?

Thank you so much for your insight! It’s not even that I want to be seen or even treated as a child or an infant. I just like the closeness and intimacy of sucking on some titties :joy::joy: and yes I have definitely indulged in some hentai with that theme in mind :wink: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I actually feel better about it! Thank you again :heartbeat:

No problem! I’m happy I could help a little! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
And yeah it’s definitely a wonderful act of infancy and honestly I feel both parties would enjoy it. But yeah just try and get into a very positive mental space and just go nuts lol. But yeah intimate kinks like that are actually really nice, I think that’s why I have a kissing fetish :laughing:

Yes to closeness and intimacy! And I think that is a key reminder to tell yourself if you have feelings of shame kick in on you. What you enjoy is something intimate between consenting adults that brings you closer together. Ain’t nothing wrong with that! And for me, breast are so sexualized and feminine in our society in a specific way, it adds a def. different type of intimacy being on either end of sucking or having your boobs sucked on, which can be really special.

I think shame in general is something that comes in waves to many of us when it comes to sex, because of the society we live in and how sex is treated. I still have those feelings bubble up, it’s just a matter for me of taking a moment to pause, remind myself as long as I’m not hurting anyone else and it’s consenting and I’m enjoying myself, it’s all good, and the only judgement I’m feeling is based on what societal norms tell us and most of them are total BS. So just a lot of gentle affirmation when shame comes up really helps.

i honestly would say i have this fetish as well! not necessarily as “breastfeeding”, but i loooove having my nipples sucked and stimulated. it’s probably one of my favorite things. i feel like the general sensation of having your nipples stimulated (by mouth or otherwise) is a pretty common fetish, so i’d say you’re definitely not in the minority here.

i agree with @LisaW 's reply, the gentle affirmations of there being nothing wrong with what 2 consenting adults engage in, as long as both parties are enjoying themselves and not hurting anyone else.

Hi, just to adress your fear of “disturbing moommy issue” dont be bothered by it. Its not cause u have a fetish involving a family figure that ur actually attracted to that person of your family. Or even that u have an unealthy or proper relationship with that person. I think fetish are connected to something deeper then our counsciousness. Its what we put behind the images or the name of the “thing” that is part of the pleasure and of the kink i believe. And brestfeeding even mother figure is filled with them! I have a daddy kink myself but i dont actyually wanna have sex with him. However when im questionning mlyself why its because i think i miss it. The protection,the respect,being part of something nurturing & protective,allowing me to have the space & the security to have pleasure,tendernes,etc… With the hope that you will read it & that it would be helpfull @lucid_dreaming ^^

I don’t think this is a big deal.

It’s a thing I like too, from the other side. And I would describe what I like as being somehow related to breastfeeding rather than just having my nipples stimulated by sucking - what I do when I’m playing with partners’ nipples feels different from the (superficially similar-looking) thing I enjoy, energetically and physically. Calm closeness and intimacy feels like a good description.

Breastfeeding stimulates oxytocin (a bonding hormone) production - and so do sex and cuddling. So it’s not really that surprising or strange.

(I also don’t think there’s particularly anything wrong with people having fetishes that can seem a bit more “out there” like bottles or diapers, as long as both people are adults and are into it. It’s not my thing personally, but I don’t think it’s necessary to say that a breastfeeding fetish is OK specifically because it’s not that.)

Yeah like there’s nothing wrong with that, but always know there’s something more extreme then what your into :laughing:
But I kinda figured doing an activity like sucking on boons would stimulate you in a special way. It’s interesting hearing the recipients point of view. Honestly I’m super into that and kissing and just like super intimate stuff cause it just feels nice to feel safe and cared for.
