    I wonder why this would be more prevalent in one country than another
    There is no way I can respond to this without sounding extremely inappropriate. But then maybe I can cause DH is Indian. Cannot wait to show him this tonight! Maybe I'll do it during dinner time and see if he bites

    ;)

    It could be that BFing is perceived differently in different areas. I remember reading about a woman who moved to a different country (I think Mongolia) where people would speak with pride about how long they nursed and the saying was that the strongest men nursed until six. If the baby wasn't hungry, mom would express into a bowl and the family would fight about who got to drink it. If it's seen as a source of strength, the men may want to nurse.
