Interesting question and a very surprising answer:
Lactation without pregnancy
Although it is not widely known in developed countries, women who have never been pregnant are sometimes able to stimulate lactation sufficient to breastfeed. This is called "induced lactation", while a woman who has lactated before and re-starts is said to "relactate". If the nipples are stimulated as in breastfeeding for a while (such as by a breast pump or actual suckling), eventually the breasts will begin to produce milk which can be used to feed a baby. Once established, lactation adjusts to demand. For this reason, adoptive mothers, usually initially in conjunction with some form of supplementation, such as a supplemental nursing system, are able to breastfeed their infants and young children. There is thought to be little or no difference in milk composition whether lactation is induced or a result of pregnancy. Rare accounts of male lactation (as distinct from galactorrhea) exist in the medical literature.

I don't think you can lactate without having a baby. Your body is able to detect when it needs to produce milk and when it doesn't so I'm not sure if you can lactate without actually being pregnant. I'm nursing right now and my milk supply was low someone suggested to me to try a tea called Mother's milk and that's supposed to increase milk production in an already nursing mom. Not sure if it works the same for a none nursing mom but you can try it.

It is difficult but not impossible. There are methods of increasing the levels of hormones required to initiate lactation, nipple stimulation, for one.
If you are trying to stimulate lactation for an adopted infant, then use of a feeding tube next to your nipple may start lactation after a while, see www.bflrc.com/newman/handouts/0501-HO23-BF_your_Adopted_Baby.htm for more information.
If you are just wanting to lactate, no baby involved, then it is going to be trickier...it's hard to fool Mother Nature :)

Get pregnant...it's the only way. Actually I have heard that buying and using a hospital grade breast pump every 1-2 hours throughout the day for several months may cause you to lactate...but it may not also. I have a breast pump I would sell if you'd like to try. Best wishes

We attempt to socialize it away when you consider that it is inconvenient, however truthfully, technological know-how much more than faith indicates that intercourse was once intended to result in youngsters. Now God, is aware of that there's a couple of layer to humans. He did create the bodily self and it is makes use of, however of path additionally the intellectual, emotional, and the religious. If you suppose in God, than you have got to notice that He developed intercourse to paintings on more than one stages. It's a bond among the person and girl for one. It is helping to create order, and households (even ones with out youngsters) are aspect of that. So no, it isn't an abomination to have intercourse with out a baby because the target. This is finished within the Bible time and again, and God does no longer look principally towards it. However, it might be instead silly to be amazed and indignant if a baby does influence. I imply, attempt to don't forget, twin functions...
