As the old saying goes, Florida doesn't raise idlers.
Whenever there is an inventory of strange foreign news, it is a time for this treasure land of outstanding people to contribute KPIs.
Recently, another pair of local "sleeping dragons and phoenixes" have occupied the news pages. They are a couple –
Rachel Bailey, a 31-year-old wife, revealed that she has been feeding her 30-year-old husband Alexander her own breast milk for years.
Unfortunately, as the child grows up, her milk gradually runs out, and in order to continue the "breastfeeding her husband" campaign, they are considering having a fourth child......

In fact, Rachel and Alexander have been making headlines since last year, when they were unbridled in chatting about the reasons for breastfeeding as a couple.
It all started in 2017 when the two went on a cruise together. Rachel had just finished her second child and was still breastfeeding, but she forgot to bring a breast pump, which caused her chest to be severely congested and painful during the trip.
She was afraid that it would develop into an infection, so she had to ask her husband to help her suck the milk out......
At first, both of them felt awkward, but after trying it once, the door to a new world was opened in an instant. Both couples fell in love with this intimate interaction, felt that a unique bond had emerged, and the marriage became stronger than ever.

So they continued this behavior, and later Rachel fed the rest of the milk to Alexander every time she fed the baby, and when she had enough to provide him with three meals a day, and so on until Rachel was pregnant with her third child......
And the couple always insisted that it was not about sexual flirting, but just a wonderful way for them to share special emotions and build intimacy.
Breast milk is known to contain a variety of nutrients that help boost the baby's immunity. However, there is not enough evidence that it has the same benefits for adults, and conversely, drinking breast milk from unknown sources may also cause infections such as hepatitis B and AIDS.
But Rachel insists that her breast milk does bring a lot of benefits to Alexander's body, saying that he has not had a cold for two years in a row, and his skin is radiant, and he has been praised by others.

It can also enhance the relationship and strengthen the physical health (?). The couple was content with the interaction and had no intention of stopping.
After the youngest child in the family was weaned last year, Rachel's body gradually stopped producing milk, and Alexander never had to eat anymore......
Both were saddened and felt as if a thread connecting them had been broken.
Because they missed the days of breastfeeding so much, they came up with an outrageous idea - to have another child, so that they could continue to breastfeed......

It's about making children a part of their play......
Fortunately, they had not completely lost their minds, and after careful consideration, they finally chose to shelve the plan.
After all, it takes a lot of energy to have a baby, and you can't decide on it with a tap on your head.
So they had to find other ways to strengthen the relationship between husband and wife. Now I have come up with a way to wake up at 5 a.m. every morning and talk and meditate while feeling the peace of the morning. In addition, the couple also started a business together, which allowed them to have more contact.
So far, it seems to be working well, but occasionally they still miss that "feeding" time......

The feeding problem was temporarily solved, but then Rachel and Alexander encountered a new problem......
They have always felt that there is nothing to be ashamed of and no harm in doing this between husband and wife, so there is no need to avoid talking about it.
But as a result of talking about it publicly, they have been abused by netizens, Rachel has been sexually harassed, all kinds of lewd people have sent private messages to buy her breast milk, and some have made even worse demands......
However, the most repeated comments are the actions that reprimand them for affecting the child:
"Those three children are so pathetic. Imagine what would happen when they started school and all their friends knew about their parents' intimacy. Alas, it's great fodder for bullying. ”
(from nypost comment section)
"Not to mention how disgusting this is, their reasons for having children are too irresponsible."
(From dailymail comment section)
It can only be said that with the door closed, any intimate behavior belongs to the freedom between husband and wife. But once you put an intimate topic in the open, you need to consider the consequences and the possible impact on your family.
Those who sexually harassed don't have to pay attention, but I hope Rachel and Alexander will listen to the comments about their children......
