Babies who are bottle-fed or suck dummies are “more likely” to develop rubber fetishism including gimp suits, a leading feminist claimed today. Antonella Gambotto-Burke - once played by Amber Heard in a film - said newborns who are not breastfed are at greater likelihood of becoming fetishists in later life.
She says it is because they draw comfort and gratification from the smell, taste and feel of the synthetic teats they sucked on as infants. Breastfed babies, on the other hand, are less likely to be kinky in adulthood and more likely to bond with their mothers, she says.
Gambotto-Burke's 2015 book Mama: Love, Motherhood and Revolution is seen by some as one of most seminal feminist works of the 21st century. The new claims are made in Apple: Sex, Drugs, Motherhood and the Recovery of the Feminine, her controversial new book which aims to strike a “devastating uppercut to a patriarchal ideology that has marred billions of lives”.
