NC-17 RATED FUN: LET'S GET REAL HERE--How Many of Us Have Been SWOONING Nonstop?
Phillip Dampier:
1) X-Rated stuff is bad here because we have under 18 users.
2) The first part of this thread was locked only because of technical reasons. Once a thread gets close to 2500 replies, it starts becoming more difficult to back up.
3) Mods can reply to locked topics while others cannot.
And this is my 500th post!

Outside of being instinctual, I could see how a human mother might wish to consume the placenta as a form of symbolic bonding with her child, or the process in which the child was produced. We have already read of at least one couple who buried the woman's afterbirth to make some kind of symbolic statement that was meaningful to them if no one else.

That's traditional here. In Maori, the words for "placenta" and "land" are the same (whenua) and it is quite usual for a placenta to be buried under a newly planted tree (good fertilizer).
--- Quote ---Now, bear with me...what if Tom might wish to consume Katie's placenta in some sort of symbolic bonding ritual that would honor (in his mind) his connection to Katie, their child, the birth process, or any or all of the above? It's true that the article had Tom on record as stating his desire to benefit from the nutritional value of the placenta (a value which is accurately reported),

I'd have thought the mother had the prior claim: she's just gone through a great deal, and she's just sort of taking back her own tissue.
--- Quote ---Ultimately, the question I ask when confronted by stories such as this is: Is anyone being hurt by this? When I can find no affirmative answer to that question, I tend to just want to let it be. And this is how I respond to this story.

I agree. I also take it with a ton of salt.
