Re: Why Do Men Have Nipples?

Sorry Q, I didn't know that they were doing the "bait and switch" thing. You think they'd tell you...but in America it seems that even knowledge has a very large price tag attached to it.

Re: Why Do Men Have Nipples?

Thanks Seattle. You're right.

I'm a NY Times Select member ( you get special, double-secret probation info all of the time for $50 a year, but it's worth it to me) and I got that confused with the regular type. The LA Times also has a free membership and always has serious and interesting stuff on its site.

Re: Why Do Men Have Nipples?

Only a slight chop I'm afraid. The membership also gets me access to their archives which is a very valuable research asset for me.

It's, year in and year out, one of the most honest information resources immediately available to me, so I pay the freight for the extras. Paying for access is going to be the future on the net I'm afraid. A big too-doo going down over here across the pond on the debate concerning "net neutrality" these days...there ?

Re: Why Do Men Have Nipples?

Ok. A lot of answers seem to be going with the idea that men have nipples because the fetus starts out as a female until things starting changeing. And there was the idea that modern woman precedes modern man in our evolutionary history.

However, from a Biblical point of view many are supposed to believe that men were around before women, and a question that hasn't been asked yet is "Did Adam have nipples?"

I think it's sensible to reason that men have nipples so they have the ability to pass the genetic information to their daughters - we can only inherit one set of Chromosomes from Mommy right?

So it seems obvious to me that every woman on the planet who has nipples, owes this to the fact that both parents passed on some nipple DNA.

Re: Why Do Men Have Nipples?

Re: Why Do Men Have Nipples?

Yes.... the Navel is simply a scar... Not a body part such as the nipple... But then if we go by Adam and Eve... Adam wouldn't have nipples either would he... Because he was never a fetus...

Of course he would. He's the blueprint for the rest of us!

I'll tell you why men have nipples. They are "governors" for our engine. See, when things get hot and heavy, and the piston action is exceding the flywheel's momentum, the woman can govern the rpms by biting down on the nipple. That brings the tachometer out of redline real fast...

Well, it's a thought...

Re: Why Do Men Have Nipples?

But as we have all agreed the nipple is useless on a man... So why bother to put that in the blueprint? And they were perfect humans? So why the man got nipps!! He don't need um! Surley in the the blueprints you would think god would have just made females develope the nipples..

Man might not need nipples, but his daughters do. So he has to have nipple DNA to pass on to his daughters, one set of nipple genes from Mama + one set of nipple genes from Papa = a complete set of nipple genes for baby girl.
