Don’t you just love this time of year? I do! Everything in nature is coming back to life…the weather is warmer and all I want to do is live outside. It is a great time to spring-clean and scale down; purge our home of things that we don’t use or need and donate them to others who do.
I raised my garden a few weeks ago and planted cool weather plants; started seeds inside to be trans-planted later. Everything just seems so fresh and new. I feel younger somehow during this time of year. My arthritis doesn’t act up as much and I don’t feel as stiff when I wake up simply because I am more active when the weather is warmer…kind of like a reptile…LOL!
And is there anything better than bosoming and making love with the windows open and a slight breeze blowing through the room. Just me and my hubby…the only two people in the world (or so it seems) loving, pleasuring and nurturing one another in ways that only we can. My husband is the ONLY man that has ever truly loved me; aside of my own father…but I’m talking about Romantic Love. Dad used to say that true love is a verb, an action word…it has feet. Love is demonstrated through actions. My DH knows me so well, sometimes better than I know myself. He understands my needs and provides a back or foot rub whenever I need it MOST…he demonstrates his love in so many ways I find myself on a mission to love and care for him in every way possible. Truly I think we sometimes try to “outlove” one another…not out of competition, but out of a true desire to love one another to the fullest extent.
We are not promised tomorrow; I want to use each and every day as an opportunity to love my husband better, longer, and deeper…who knows when a simple kiss goodbye may be our last. My father passed away 6 yrs. ago…it still hurts, especially when I see my mother’s loneliness. Dad truly loved my mom.
Cling not to worldly possessions but to those people that you love; they are the only things that truly last.
May you have a blessed spring day as you ponder the ones you love and demonstrate your love for them.
Lovingly,
Luvmyhub
Such a lovely post you have made today! The warmth and promise of longer, sunnier days with intimacy and more outside time. Your comments immediately reminded me of a favorite song, from 1970, by Sergio Mendes: “Like a Lover.”
The lyrics are so beautiful, as the singer describes how perfect it would feel to be the sun, the moon, the wind, touching one’s lover gently.
——————————————-
Like a lover, the morning sun
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile is soft and fuzzy
As you let it play upon your face
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the morning sun to you
Like a lover, the river wind
Sighs and ripples its fingers through your hair
Upon your cheek it lingers
Never having known a sweeter place
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the river wind to you
How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you
Like a lover, the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe
Gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream
I might be like the velvet moon to you

As is often the case in our house, I awoke long before my wife. I slid from the warmth of the bed and made her coffee, putting it in an insulated mug to be ready bedside when she awoke. I slipped back into bed and waited patiently, listening to her sleep, a hand on her bare skin, a leg next to hers. The anticipation of what may come is sublime, but I make no effort to wake her.
She eventually stirs after an hour or more, and I greet her softly with my simple, but constant greeting, “I love you. You’re beautiful.” She knows the truth of the first part, but is always skeptical of the second.
The moment I later cherish for hours and hours, (days and days away sometimes), then comes, as she rolls her warm naked body towards me and positions her breasts close to my head, pulling me to her. My lips open and find that perfect, beautiful, nurturing spot as her left nipple enters and I latch on. We lie side by side, legs intertwined, arms around each other, under the warmth of the quilt and the moment divine arrives. I audibly sigh, almost wimper, as this beautiful woman shares her breasts with me.
First on the left breast, Joy, my heart throbs with love and contentment as we settle into a rhythm of suckling. Her nipple is not initially long, but my mouth and tongue have pulled it to my palate and the tempo begins as I suckle gently. There is no milk, and it matters not to me, as the pleasure is somehow in the tenderness of the moment, and the bond formed between us. The only motion between us is the pulse of my mouth and tongue, suckling, and soon she drifts back to sleep.
After about 10 minutes I release slowly, sighing and whispering to her how incredible this is, how much I adore her, and she rolls slightly back as I lower my lips to her right breast, Comfort, and begin anew. Just the slightest rhythmic tugging of her hand around my head keeps me in position on her breast and another 10 minutes of bliss passes.
The tender, nurturing moments don’t end, as we slowly transition to gentle intimacy in the morning light. These moments sustain me for days. May I say it is Heavenly?
I have said it before here; the sex is tangential to the elemental bond of breast to lips. It often follows, but need not so to make the moments last in loving memory.
Twice, later in the day, she commented on what a nice day it had been, and how she had drifted off to sleep as I sucked on her. Yes, what a nice day. What a nice day.
Luvmyhub, I enjoy reading your joyful thoughts. Please accept mine too, with gratitude for a place here, to share.
LW,
Your words are sheer poetry…I was speechless as I read your beautiful account of bosoming with your lovely wife. Your love and devotion is so evident in your thoughts, words and deeds…they capture the way many of us feel I am sure.
Thank you so very much for letting us have a glimpse into your life; a man who truly cherishes his woman.
Blessings to you both,
Luvmyhub
Luvmyhub- your writing flows with love and warmth for your man, and your joy and simple devotion comes across in a flood of emotion. Thank you for sharing your thoughts…many of which mimic my own. Yes, we finally have almost a “taste” of spring in my area. On Sunday the weather was sunny and temps hit 55 degrees….us too, making love on a lazy Sunday afternoon with the afternoon breeze blowing through the room. We decided to jazz it up a bit, made love in the guestroom just for the fun of it! The nuzzling, bosoming, loving of one another were all fantastic and filled my heart to overflowing. Oh, that each day could be that slow and wonderful. But alas, Monday morning brings the craziness of the beginning of the week and back to work routine. So…Sunday’s memories with my sweetheart will hold me all week…
LW- thank you for sharing a man’s point of view of cherishing his woman, the beauty of it touched my heart…bless you for sharing.

It must have been the change to Daylight Saving Time. My thoughts above were about this past Sunday too.
Having been gone from town for a few days, I’m looking forward to days off, floating serenely in my beautiful wife’s arms. The closeness is pleasure defined.
Thank you.
I wish I could express myself with words the way you all have. As I read these beautiful words I longed to have my husband at my breasts-even though it has only been two hours since he and I were so intimately connected. Sigh….I shall see if he can make it home for lunch and we can lay together outside in the warm sun undisturbed, nurturing and loving each other.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments. May the weekend be lovely for you all
I so miss nursing…it’s been 25 years. Can only dream now how wonderful it was. Michele never shared until our last child. And then it was just brief. We’ve drifted but I’m still here for her.
Wonderful story how you started. Couldn’t stop reading…wonderful writer.
Hello, I am still in the induction stage… I can say I am a newbie. I started inducting 4 days ago, yet my breast feels so different. I am not sure if its just my mind playing me tricks or if this is a real thing. I love hearing the connection you and your husband have. I just hope one day my husband feels that close and connected to me… i get sexually aroused and emotionally overwhelmed just to think about it. I love to see his face on my breast and his mouth suckling. We are dry suckling and he does not seem fully commited. He is excited about the “whole thing”… but I am not sure he is embracing the idea the same way I am… but I am trully hoping this changes once my milk comes in… I am trully excited and the anticipation is extreme… I will try to get back with you and let you all know how it is going. THANKS for sharing and being there…
Hello Milkygirl, and welcome to the blog,
You belong to a large class of women who want to bosom their husbands’ whom are not always as excited. My own ANR has ebbed and flowed over the last year. The stress of owning a business with deadlines is the reality of our world. Be honest with your husband about your feelings…how suckling him makes you feel. He would probably get pretty excited about the fact that it makes you sexually excited! It is possible to incorporate ANR into a busy schedule; you just might have to be creative about when and where (oh, that can be fun).
Marmet is a great technique…glad to hear that you are feeling some changes in your breasts. It can happen quickly especially if you just stopped nursing your son 18 months ago. I did the same thing as you either used Marmet technique, a pump, or he suckled every 2-3 hrs. at first. My milk came in within a month. I was able to keep my milk coming with stimulation every 4 and then, even every 6 hours. All that at nearly 50 yrs. of age…whoo hoo!
I started to take Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle a while after we started inducing…I say we, because it really was a joint effort. So, I am unsure whether or not the herbs assisted or not in my milk coming in. Many swear by it and others don’t think it helps at all. I believe that I took 2 of each 3x a day…if memory serves me right. There is a lot of info. on-line in regard to this. Please educate yourself on this. I had to have a colonoscopy (routine) a few months back and the docs wanted to be sure that I had been off of the herbs for 2 weeks prior due to potential bleeding. If you are planning on having procedure, please inform your physicians of all medications that you take, including herbs. They are not classified as drugs, but they are chemicals and they can cause adverse reactions with other medications.
Sorry if I rambled. Didn’t mean to get preachy…just like everyone to be informed. You don’t even need herbs to lactate. It is a supply/demand issue. The more the demand…the more the supply will be, once you start lactating. So relax and enjoy whatever your ANR becomes. Rest in it and relish what you and your husband already have. It truly is a journey.
Hope this helped. May you be blessed as your journey continues.

Hello, here I am again… no milk yet, but hubby suckles at night time, I use Marmet Technique stimulation every 2 hours for about 15-20 min. I wish he would offer himself to suckle in the mornings, but he is always in a hurry… however I havent missed any stimulation sessions. My breast hurts, but that pain keeps me going.. cant wait to have milk.
I haven’t checked in her for a while. I had a baby last January and with another two children in the house life has been very busy. Now that we are settled I wanted to say hello and add my joyful endorsement of an ANR marriage. My husband and I have been enjoying the renewal of sweet milk due to our third baby. I still pump to keep up the supply but It’s been such a loving, flowing time. I feel so relaxed when he suckles me at the end of the day, sometimes putting me to sleep. I feel very loved and my body, despite its swollen state feels very appreciated. It is so much easier to transition back to an intimate sexual relationship after childbirth when you have been busoming all along. I know new moms feel sometimes over contacted with a new baby but I have to say my husband was such a help and I looked forward to his attentions. Good Luck to everyone. Just wanted to say how wonderful it is to be amongst other women who understand the love our breasts create.
What a precious post. I can’t help but envy you gals that have the benefit of labor and delivery to bring on that milk. Congratulations on your new arrival and the joy that they bring…in so many ways. Thank you for sharing your experience with us…you are such an encouragement!
Blessings to you and your family,

Hello Again….
Here is my update… I did get some milk drops at day 6 of induction. But I did talk to my husband and asked him to be open to me on how he feels about ANR. He said he likes the idea but he wants to be settled before starting… I honestly do not know if this are his true feelings, but I think they are. I think he doesnt enjoy the nursing concept as much as I do… I feel he is only interested when we are sexually engaged. To me is a different concept although yes, it does stimulate me sexually as well. But it is more of a bonding concept to me… Anyways… I have stopped as this is to me something that has to be shared. We are in the process of moving so untill we are settled we may not try again. He does get on my breast some nights, but it is not something I am persuing… not until he is ready… I would love for him to let me know if he really is one day, as he stated this is something he is taking seriously (which is a good thing). I will enjoy the moments of closeness we have, as I do love him and want for both of us to be ready if an ANR ever occurrs… I will keep my fingers crossed. I will save my herbs… and ever since I stopped stimulating… I haven’t seen any more milk drops :_( …. Will keep reading your beautiful diary… thanks for answering and continue posting!
Dear Milkygirl,
Thank you for your post/update. It sounds like you and your husband communicate very well…a very healthy trait in any relationship. ANR is a lot of different things to different couples. Yes, a certain amount of attention to the breasts is needed to produce milk, but not everyone is into that. Many, many couples “dry nurse”; some have a large number of encounters each week and others have very few. I guess what I am saying is that there are no “rules or regulations” for an ANR in a relationship. It usually ebbs and flows in most couples lives unless it is a major priority. My husband and I take it as it comes. Life has a way of disrupting even the best of schedules; moving is a major upheaval. The intimacy that is shared with our loved one is what is most important. This is achieved in many ways…an ANR is only one part.
Thank you so much for sharing and remember that life’s circumstances constantly change. As your relationship continues to grow, there is no telling what wonderful things you will experience.
Blessings to you both and please continue to check back and post. We have a myriad of things you can post about…love, sex, etc. You are always welcome whether or not ANR is a part of your life.

How beautiful can it be to forget about the stress that life brings sometimes and just for a few minutes just enjoy love, enjoy the company of the person we love, and be connected in such a special way… that is what I want… but I do not know if it will ever be.
