The Transformative Power of ABF & ANR Communities
đ„ș Youâre Not the Only One: Finding Your Tribe in the World of ABF & ANR
(And why you might find more than just support)
Let me ask you somethingâ
Have you ever felt this quiet, persistent craving... not just for touch, but for connection?
Not just sexâbut intimacy so raw, so real, that it makes you feel like you're finally home in someoneâs arms?
Youâre not crazy.
Youâre not weird.
And more importantlyâyouâre not alone.
If youâve ever searched âadult nursing relationshipâ or âinducing lactation without a babyâ at 2 a.m., then you already know the internet is full of noiseâbut rarely truth. But hereâs the truth I wish someone had told me:
There is a whole world of people out thereâlike youâlonging for the same soft, sacred closeness. And theyâre waiting for someone just like you to say, âme too.â
đŹ The First Time I Found My People
The first time I clicked into an ANR forum, my heart was racing.
I didnât post anything. I didnât even make a profile. I just... watched.
Read. Lingered.
And in those quiet threads, I saw women like me.
Not just sexual partners, but **n
There were stories from couples who had built daily nursing rituals that brought them closer than sex ever had. There were women inducing lactation without ever having been pregnant, celebrating their first drops like theyâd struck gold. There were quiet confessions, honest questions, andâmaybe the most healing thing of allâno shame.
For the first time, I didnât feel like a secret.
I felt like a woman who had simply found her language.
đ€± So What Happens When You Join?
You donât need to post right away.
You donât need to share your deepest desires.
You donât even need to have it all figured out.
But when you enter an ABF/ANR communityâyou enter a space that whispers, âyouâre safe here.â And sometimes, thatâs all we need.
Youâll find:
Women sharing their first-time nursing moments
Men looking for meaningful, slow-growing ANR bonds
Tips on pumping, lactation herbs, and emotional barriers
Encouragement when your partner isnât quite sure yet
Quiet friendship in your inbox, from someone across the world who gets it
đ Where to Find the Real Ones
Skip the spammy sites and go where real people gather:
đ ANRSpace.com
A private, dedicated community for ANR connectionsâromantic or supportive.
đĄ Tip: Donât be afraid to write from the heart in your profile. Thatâs what draws the right kind of energy.
đŹ Reddit: r/AdultBreastfeeding + r/ABFRelationships
Two of the most respectful, diverse spaces for asking questions, sharing wins, and connecting anonymously.
đ€ Facebook (Private Groups)
Search for:
âAdult Nursing Relationshipsâ
âInduced Lactation Supportâ
âABF Sisterhoodâ (some have daily check-ins or nursing routines you can join)
Many are private but activeâonce inside, youâll find everything from protocol guidance to bedtime bond stories.
đ Why It Matters
Because ANR isnât just about nursing.
Itâs about nourishingâyour partner, your relationship, yourself.
Itâs about unlearning shame. About coming home to your softness, your strength, your need to be needed.
So if your heart has been carrying this desire quietlyâŠ
if your fingers have hovered over search bars without hitting enterâŠ
if your body knows what it wants, but your mind still questions it...
Take the leap.
Join the forum.
Read the stories.
Say, âme too.â
You might not just find answers.
You might find yourself.
