Why Do Men Have Nipples?

YO-ELEVEN-11 · 04-23-2006, 10:51 PM

Being a hetrosexual male, I know why women have nipples both for pleasure
and biological purposes ,but, WHY DO MEN HAVE NIPPLES?
If any body can answer that question for me it would be greatly appreciated.

Same reason women do...

While it is not common and men can't produce much...they can produce milk if need be...

and then there is the pleasure thing...

Why do nipples interest you so...we've got some organs and brain cells we don't use as well....

Maybe because nature is intending to change us back women one day!

No, males are human. They are called men, and they serve a purpose. Just like females are human. They are called women, and they serve a purpose.

Together they serve a purpose as well.

Quahom1,Try the following article : http://makeashorterlink.com/?R25C53A0DThe last paragraph reads

Quote:

...In a now-famous paper, Stephen Jay Gould and Richard C. Lewontin emphasize that we should not immediately assume that every trait has an adaptive explanation. Just as the spandrels of St. Mark's domed cathedral in Venice are simply an architectural consequence of the meeting of a vaulted ceiling with its supporting pillars, the presence of nipples in male mammals is a genetic architectural by-product of nipples in females. So, why do men have nipples? Because females do.

im sure god in his infinite wisdom already knew that he was going to make a woman after man so used basically used a basic likeness with commonalities. it would look really weird for men to have no nipples and women to have them, just like it would be weird for men to be bald and women covered in fur.

I started a thread on this same subject. Did you read mine or did you actually ponder this yourself? I'm just curious. Pretty wild that two different people would be contemplating nipples at the same time.

Actually I think that is quite common....oops wrong forum...thought I was in the lounge...

Hmmm...well, I don't know exactly why men have nipples. But here's a thought--when I was a kid, doctors didn't seem to think that there was a purpose for my tonsils, so they removed them.

(Sorry, guys--it was just too tempting...)

Now why do I think this particular post has a double entendre?

Glad to see you back.
