Boobs for rent: French woman wants to breastfeed babies of gay dads

A woman located in Paris has posted an ad on French website e-loue offering to rent her breasts for up to 10 feedings a day for 100 euros ($130) to gay dads who can’t breastfeed their babies.

The post reads, “I am a young mother in perfect health, a trained nurse of 29, and I am renting my breasts to milk-feed infants.”

Reuters contacted the woman, who posted the ad under a pseudonym, and she replied, “I’ve received more than a dozen requests, but only half of them were serious. The rest were from perverts.”

Alexander Woog, chief executive of e-loue, had his staff contact the advertiser and has confirmed her identity and seriousness. “Our legal advisers are sure of [the legality of her offer]. It’s illegal in France to sell maternal milk, but this is a person proposing a service, not selling the milk in flasks.”

France legalized gay marriage and gay adoption in May of this year.
