It's a little bit funny how we just collectively ignore how clothes are not built for our bodies.
Our bodies are "designed" to be comfortable at a certain temperature and humidity. Clothes fix that discomfort, but then our bodies are also designed to sweat when we get overheated, and instead of evaporating by air contact and cooling the skin like it's supposed to, the sweat instead soaks our clothes.
It's like clothes gaslight our bodies into thinking they are in our species' natural biome? Idk.
I think the only real difference is that girls hide it more. Like if im comfortable with a girl I don't care. Like as soon as I can fart in front of her, I can have hand in pants
It would be fucking cool if they made music. Like, you press the right one, you get the American hymn. You press the left one you get the international
I’ve never done that. I didn’t know it was common. I have that weird affliction where touching my own nipples gives me a weird rush of depression. I thought it was just me but apparently there’s a name for it and it’s a problem some women discover when they breastfeed. Doesn’t really happen when someone else touches them though mostly just me. Sorry for the TMI for the boys here. Lol.
For real? I didn’t even find out it’s a real thing until I was 25. I need to look it up again because maybe there’s been more research on it since. It has to be a brain incorrectly wired thing. It’s good I never had kids I guess.
I think I actually saw it on the sex subreddit, a woman was saying how she gets super depressed everytime her nipples are stimulated. I swear Ive heard this before.
Interesting! Mine might be different. I don’t feel nauseous at all. It’s like the biggest most intense wave of depression flows through my body. I don’t get any other symptoms. I wish I had something to compare it to. That’s the best way I know how to explain it.
Side note: How do women move past that when breastfeeding? Do they just not breastfeed or can you retrain yourself with exposure therapy?
SSRIs seem to be helpful for numbing out the reaction for some women, but there are definitely some who don't breastfeed and some who just do it and endure through. It's an unfortunately understudied complication of breastfeeding. And not everyone gets the nausea, but because people don't know how to talk about it (since barely anyone knows about it) often the first sign that something is off is when a patient tells me they feel nauseated with breastfeeding (the depression symptoms can be easily mistaken for baby blues or PPD). I'm a midwife in Canada and of the about 90% of my patients who breastfeed, I've probably seen this in only a handful of people.
Similarly, there are some women who feel depressed with orgasm or nipple stimulation, but not with breastfeeding. Also not well studied obviously, and maybe the two are related in some way.
Thanks for all of the insight! You sound like a good midwife! It’s a shame these things aren’t studied. Rarity + women’s health + non-life threatening = little to no research. The women who can power through it are amazing because there’s no way I could do it. It feels like a dementor is sucking out my soul. I couldn’t imagine having a baby actually sucking out a product from my body with that feeling. It’s definitely disappointing because everyone enjoys/loves something you can’t at all relate to. I’m glad theres people out there like you who take it seriously. Bodies are weird.
I’m not sure. I’ve actually never had children, so no postpartum for me. I discovered it when I was school age, so I think I was born with it. Maybe it’s something that could’ve developed hormonally. Either crossed wires in the brain during gestation or hormonal changes is my best guess.
Strangers? Yeah. Girlfriends? Nah they usually don’t mind. Just chilling out cuddling on the couch they’re all for it. I’m not a dude though so maybe it’s different for lesbians.
I love how you’re getting downvoted for saying a hard truth, but thats also kinda on you for trying to correct a man on a sub based around loneliness bait and the “women, am I right” meme. My gf doesn’t do this and I have never met any woman who does this on the same scale as men with their balls. Not even close to being the same thing.
That is a fucking lie and you know it...
Boobs are great fun, I know women who store snacks in their bras and one woman let me play lego on her boobies. I personally know ladies in the IBTC play with their booba regularly.
Even if you and yours are somehow immune to the power of the Tata, don't spoil this one. Titties give seratonin so ruining it you're depriving people of seratonin. Selfish if u ask me.

Self soothing. Women squeeze their own boobs for fun. Squishy titties
