  Unlike PPs, I'm not going to attack you and say you're a sicko and that your thoughts are effed up.

  Being raised in this hyper-sexualized society, it's very difficult to draw the line in your head when it comes to sex boobies vs. food boobies. Our sick society tells us that boobies are for one thing: sex. How can you not sexualize them? Fighting that mindset, when you are bombarded with it everyday, is very difficult.

  I've had the same sexualized thoughts as you exactly twice. And I immediately realized they were ridiculous and put them out of my head.

  I don't think you're effed up OP, or that your thoughts are necessarily effed up. I think you're a victim of our sexualized society. But, I think if you're fixated on these thoughts (which it seems you are) then you need to get some help. Everyone has effed up thoughts here and there and most people put them out of their heads and don't think of them again. If this is continuing to pop into your head, that's a problem.

  I really like your answer. I can relate most strongly to a PP who said that as a FTM they were afraid BF might feel "weird" regardless of the baby's gender, but now that I've had my daughter it feels as normal and natural as can be and isn't sexualized at all. 

  I can't really give any insight into OPs situation, because I never felt like gender had anything to do with it.
