Serious Question - Why Do Men Have Nipples??

I have read man is a bit of woman as well as woman is a bit of man. Both are by product of sex. Man has more man hormones and the reverse is true for woman hence more hormone flow to top becoming breast for woman and for man becoming a penis. So both have nipples while women nipples are more pleasureable and sensitive and can be orgasmic as well.

Men will never get orgasmic by caressing nipples.

The clips have to go somewhere!

I dunno. Lets cut them off like we do appendix' and gallbladders - obviously don't need them

what the heck?

Wasn't there another thread posted about the same topic a few days ago?

Because in a pinch, they can produce milk too. It's like an emergency back up.

the female ova must carry the genetic
material to become either female or male
which is determined by the sperm...

The answer is that as embryos men and women have similar tissues and body parts. If anything the embryo follows a 'female template'. That is why nipples are present in both sexes. It is the effect of the genes, the Y chromosome and the hormone testosterone that brings about the changes and masculinises the embryo. Testosterone promotes the growth of the penis and testicles. Because nipples are there before this process begins the nipples stay!

Where else would I stick needles while I'm hanging from the ceiling by my balls ?

There's another guy with nipples??

wrong Forum dude.......

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

I would never stick needles through my nipples.

everyone starts off as a woman in the womb
think about the genes
women are xx
men are xy
men are half female

They are just for decoration

Because for some lucky guys, their nipples are very sensitive and it's one more place on the body to have fun with!!!

for you guys whose nips are not sensitive, I feel sorry for you; you're missing out on lots of fun!!!!

This IS a very serious question. Stop joking around.

Men can breastfeed too. Look it up. The idea is foreign to most modern day societies, but nevertheless it is scientifically true.

Because we are wonderfully made! To give life in a time of need.

Skin fabric strain reliefs (duh).

As the volume of skin on the chest is a sizable area. When muscles are worked or the body goes into extreme contorsion the skin area requires yeild zones.

Same principle as the power company coiling several yards of wire on the telephone pole, so when the tree collapses on the wires, 'slack' is harmoniously fed-out (in anticipation) in a stress event keeping the utility operational.

Thats just weird. And would like that scene from family guy when Stewie got Peter's boob hair in his mouth.

The answer as to why men have nipples may well be related to the fact that all human embryos developing in the womb initially have the ability to sexually differentiate into either male or female individuals. It is further along, during fetal development, that a gender-specific path of sexual development is followed.

The default sexual development path in humans is female. The presence of a Y chromosome, and, thus, the accompanying expression of gene products from genes found exclusively on the Y chromosome in male fetuses are what force sexual development to deviate along a different ("male") subsequent developmental path.

So, to answer your question OP, human males may have nipples because human females must have nipples to provide milk for their infants. This possibility is supported by the fact that males and females follow a common sexual developmental path up to a certain point in in utero development.
