• W230859209 abstract "ABSTRACT: Breast-feeding, from the deepest evolutionary perspective, merges our emotional experiences of sexuality and intimacy at the very beginning of life to promote a more holistic concept of self. The obvious physical parallels between breast-feeding and reproductive coitus are examined. An historical analysis illustrates how patriarchal religious anti-sexualism ultimately caused breast-feeding to become inappropriately redefined as an asexual experience, in parallel with the inappropriate attempts to redefine masturbation as self-abuse, and even reproductive coitus as an asexual experience. Such redefinition of breast-feeding is then linked to the sexual repression of women as part of their stigmatization in the 18th Century as maternal beings too pure to have any sexual needs at all. Lingering sexual fears are shown as a continuing plague to a mother's enjoyment of the process, even to the point of causing her to cease breast-feeding early when such feelings arise. In addition to other benefits, long-term intimate breast-feeding is shown not to promote, but rather to discourage incestuous relations with the mother. The revelation of the original experience of breast-feeding is described based on the most primitive of hunter-gatherer societies in confirmation of the evolutionary perspective. Finally, the philosophical, social, and practical implications of breast-feeding as a form of love-making are discussed. INTRODUCTION The young mother had dutifully heard the accounts stressing the importance of breast-feeding. She understood that American mothers, generally, do not nurse their infants for a long enough period to enable the infants to derive all of the substantial health and emotional benefits from this important natural process. So she persevered in breast feeding her child. At the time of the following narration her daughter was just 6 weeks away from her third birthday. Ms. Denise Perrigo, in her own words, continues the story: I was nursing her after her bath, before her nap, and I had felt these feeling I had never felt before . . . Just kind of physical feelings of-kind of like a sexual kind of feeling . . . It just was scary to me because I didn't know that this was normal at the time. I didn't know that this happened to moms-nursing moms . . . It wasjust as our society says, you don't have any kind of feelings anywhere near kids, it's just . . . a taboo in our society the way we think. We better not have feelings around our kids . . . My parents are Christians, yes. So am I. I tried calling a couple of friends and no one was home. So I called the volunteer center trying to get . . . La Leche League . . . And I did not get them. They-for some reason-had someone from rape crisis center recall me back . . . So I was talking to the person . . . who said, Look, I can't help I am a volunteer. . .So she calls her supervisor, told her there was a case of incest occurring. The supervisor called me back and said, Look, if I have any identifying information, I have to hot line you. Because I have a degree in family and community services from Syracuse University, I knew . . . that they already knew how to get a hold of me. While I was still on the phone, the police came to my home . . . I was interrogated for five hours before I was even read my rights and then I was arrested (Geraldo 1993, 17-8). Denise Perrigo was then separated from her baby by social services for a period that was extended until, at last, it reached an unthinkable 359 days! Finally, her case was dismissed and the mother and her child were reunited. How was the child after this ordeal? Ms Perrigo continues: . . . she has a lot of fear. She plays out the separation fears. She plays the bad policemen coming to get her . . . the mean case workers and the mean foster parents coming to take her. She will be playing with her dolls and say, Mommy, come protect me. They're coming to take my babies (Geraldo 1993, 23). …" @default.
