Breast pump to induce lactation AND NOT pregnant question?

Ummm...seriously? I don't quite understand why in the world you would be doing this, or why he would want you to. I'm assuming to make them bigger, but trust me, this is not the way. Take it from someone who has breastfed for a total of 3 years so far in my life- breasts full of milk (and leaking milk) are NOT sexy!!! THey will get very full, and hard, and SORE, and without a baby to suck it out, they will begin to spray in about 5 different directions (a lot of people don't realize that there are MANY holes on your nipples, not just one). Also, emptying them only with a pump will often cause you to get clogged milk ducts, which are quite painful. Breastfeeding is WONDERFUL, but when you have no baby to do it for, you really shouldn't do it. And, no, your boobs will not go back to normal. They will become very limp and saggy from getting full, then emptied, then full, etc. My boobs are pretty gross now. Sure, they look great when they're full, but they don't stay full, and if they do, it is painful. Trust me- DO NOT DO THIS!!!! I assure you you will regret it.
