Would you do it slipss, and if so why?

Yeah I would. Why? Well, why not? Its good for you, its in ready supply, it doesn't require the imprisonment and forced labour of another living being (not that I have any objection to cows being milked), so why not? Like I say, if you think the why not is because its yucky, then thats fair enough, I'm sure there are things I would find yucky that others wouldn't, I wouldn't eat liver for example, not sure why, the thought of it just turns my stomach, but I wouldn't try and say that there is any thing odd about people eating liver or that they shouldn't do it(a good source of iron I understand).

I think some people are being slightly self righteous here.

To those people I put this challenge.

If its so "natural"

I want to see a video of you milking your own mother and drinking the milk.

Then and only then will i believe your oath.

I can sense a mass eruption of "EEUUGGHH, my own Mom??"

But, is there anyone more natural?

</div></div>

You would like to see me squeeze milk form my mothers tit......? You really can't see any difference between that and walking into spar, buying a bottle of pasturised, homogenised, chilled milk and drinking it with my coffee? Well obviously you can, unless you are going to try and say you see no difference between the two at all, are you?

No thats not what I'm saying, I'm saying that giving the reason that you wouledn't drink human milk is that its unnatural isn't really a good reason considering drinking cow milk is unnatural. Sure we are doing it a long time (not since we were cavemen I don't think, I'm reasonably sure its a more recent thing than that?) but that does not mean they it is natural for us to do it. It is quite obviously unnatural, drinking untreated cows milk can lead to all sorts of bad stuff, what with all the bacteria and what not, it has to be unnaturally treated to make it safe for humans to drink. It is not natural, humans are the only animal that drink the milk of another species and we aren't that special.

If you wouldn't drink it because you think its icky, then that I can except, thats completly understandable. But saying you wouldn't do it because it's unnatural is silly, especially if you drink cows milk.

You're arguing that I may not be right in saying that its unnatural, so are you saying that its natural for a grown man to drink his mother's milk, or someone else's mother's milk. I just want that clarified

brianthebard · 22-08-2008 07:21PM

Fwiw the only reason adult cows don't drink milk from each other is that their mothers forcibly wean their calves.If they didn't you'd see a lot of adult cows sucking tit.
As for milking my ma,she hasnt been preggers in almost two decades,so there isn't going to be much on tap.

Fair Point, and yes, i can see the difference.

The point I am trying to make is, if it is so natural, could you do it, dink your own mothers milk, as a fully grown adult.

My biggest problem is where did it come from.

"HUMILK" Only the finest milk goes into Humilk, healthy women from a small town in Wexford.

I KNOW PEOPLE IN SMALL TOWNS IN WEXFORD!!!

I aint gonna drink that!

What if she drinks too much, what if she smokes. What if she has some weird mental problems that fester in human milk and have yet to be undiscovered?

I know this is all quite fantastical and far fetched but if I was with a girl and found out I had drank her milk, I would not be best pleased...

For me its a gross factor mainly.

I dont want to drink something that came from a walking talking human being, call me a old fashioned.....

No you didn't follow my post there man. I'm not saying you are not right in saying its unnatural, I'm saying its not any more unnatural or natural than drinking cows milk, or pigs milk, or goats milk. Its all just milk.

Fair nuff slipss, I admire your honesty, could I ask you....would you worry at all about possible diseases/products it could carry....

I ask this because of something which for some reason this thread sort of brought to bear in my mind....my sister is rhesus negative and when pregnoid was given the option of taking the Anti-D injection (basically i think something which can reduce the risk to the baby if the baby were positive should there be cross contamination of mother to baby blood at birth which if i understand it correctly could be fatal to the baby)

Anyway. my point is this product the anti-d is created/or contains human blood products, yes processed and refined in a lab.

Phew, anyway my sister like a lot of women really agonised ovr the decision as to whether she should get the injection (helping with the incompatible blood prob but possibly putting tainted blood product into her bddy, unlikly but it happened in the past) and I accepted her stance of considering it so seriously...

So it suprises me greatly that so many people are ready to casually quaff what are essentially the body fluids of probably a stranger if what people ar saying is correct....

Bottled milk, who would be selling it, women down on their luck?
...........who would be buying it?

I completely get what you are saying, and if its just the "gross factor" then thats perfectly understandable, different people are grossed out by different things. I just find Jango's whole "its unnatural, burn the witches!" argument hard to follow. Just for my own curiosity about the "something that came from a walking talking human being" thing, would you feel the same if you got a blood transfusion or a kindney from someone you knew, now I know that that would be a matter of necesity but would it gross you out to know you had someone you know's blood or organ in you?

Well as you said, necessity would prevail in this instance. I would be very much uncomfortable with knowing someone else fluid was flowing about me.

Uncomfortable? yes. Grateful? Incredibly

Well I think I said in the original post that the milk would be pasturised and the suppliers would be screened for diseases, so there would be no need to worry about disease ect. As for who would sell it...well anyone that wanted and that passed the health requirments, why would it only be down and out women, lots of women used to be employed as wet nurses in days gone by and I'm sure very few of them were beggars and alcos. Who would buy it? Mothers who currently use baby formula might, and some preportion of the 60ish% of people that voted yes in the thread might, basically anyone that wanted a healthier low fat, immunity strenghtening, vitamin and mineral rich, alternative to cow milk, and that weren't grossed out by it.

Right, maybe I'm not saying things the way I want to say them

I just don't think its right, its weird and gross to me.

I think we, once not infants, shouldn't drink our mothers milk. The example I, and a few others, have used is with animals etc, and someone else said that cows wean their calves off milk because its their instinct to stop them suckling. Maybe its an instinct to encourage the cow to go off and be independent and I guess I think humans have that, once the child leaves the mother, or stops breastfeeding it can grow as an individual.

But I do also think its gross and weird.

I didn't mean to be coming across as aggressive or anything, but I think I've said what I wanted to say, maybe

Sorry for misunderstanding what ya said

I suppose so, you actually make a good argument -I never thought of mothers buying it.

Still though, personally I just could not get past the psychological horror....!!!

Ah yeah but I wasn't being that aggressive, even though it may have seemed that way.

Although, I did get a nice mental image of myself screaming that holding a pitchfork!

Jimbo · 22-08-2008 07:48PM

The real question is would any of the females who wouldn't drink another womans milk drink their own?

JangoFett · 22-08-2008 07:50PM

I've heard of women doing that while they're child is...in tit...I think that what farmers call cows when they're feeding, in tit

How often does a thread go stale and a mutual unspoken "agree to disagree" feeling is aired?

Sometimes it goes on a lot longer than this, especially when its about refugees/roma gypsies/travellers it can get quite heated

I'd feel a bit weirded out too because of how I've been socially conditioned, but at the end of the day, it's just milk. Our problem is with where it comes from.

It usually ends when a fight erupts and the moderators come along and tell them not to post again or they're banned, then the momentum is gone so a few more people will post comments that go nowhere and then the moderator locks it.

So I believe anyway...

brianthebard · 22-08-2008 10:51PM

At the risk of turning the thread into a more overtly sexual issue*,do the people who have a problem with breast milk have a problem with their partner sucking their nipple or genitals,or would they do the same to their partner?

(*if the thread is already dead it might not be such a big deal.)

stovelid · 23-08-2008 12:46AM

Yup.

To drinking breast milk, that is.

Would you drink breast milk?
