Greetings Sweetbluerose
Everyone has the equipment to produce milk. Even men. It's just men don't have enough of the hormones needed to develop their mammary glands enough to be able to produce.
Being a woman, you have had the hormones in your body to be able to lactate at one time, and now if you haven't gone through menopause.
Also, even if you've gone through menopause doesn't mean you won't be able to lactate. As mistoferin stated, it will be more difficult to get you to start lactating, but i would not say it is impossible.
To get yourself lactating, though, you and your Dominant will have to be dedicated and stick to a schedule of pumping your breasts a minimum of 10 times a day for about 10 minutes each breast with a good breast pump, as well as adding things to your diet that can help encourage lactation. There's a tea you can find at health stores by Traditional Medicinals called Mothers Milk tea. It has what i initially foung to be an odd flavor, but not unpleasant. It combines several herbs, including fenugreek, which is touted to help increase milk supply in lactating women.
If your Dominant and you wish to pursue this, you might want to consider getting some lanolin to rub on your nipples after pumping. This will help keep them soft and will help with the tenderness. Don't use just any lanolin. There's a brand called Lansinoh and they have pure lanolin without any fillers. It is safe to use, even when you have someone wanting to sample what you produce directly from the source. :)
Oh, and i know this stuff cause i have two UMs and with them i did anything i could to keep my milk. i had a lot going agasint me with nursing because of being in a very stressful relationship with the sperm donor and being in a stressful job. That's another thing to remember - stress is the enemy of lactation. You will have to be mostly, if not completely, stress free or you will lose your milk.
i wish you well.
