What is the function of the male nipple?
It doesn't do anything. It's just sitting there. Is it decorative or does it have some unknown function?

9. male tits or female boobies
I want the latter.

seus boobies são encantadores, como era seu cabelo, seu sorriso iluminado acima da noite, ela os olhos olharam fixamente mim para baixo como um stalker mas era um stalker benevolent.

6. Scientific explanation: No Fun Here
Since all mammals start development as females, we males have undeveloped organs that show that. The nipple is just the most visible of them.

14. so...
in fact, females are just the boring, everyday gender. whereas we MALES, are unique and special, and thus deserving of veneration:P

7. Visualize the make nipple as the empty slot on your car dashboard.
Edited on Sat Aug-14-04 01:11 PM by brainshrub
If you WANTED the new CD player, you could install one if you wanted to b/c at the factory they made allowances for extra equipment.

Biologically speaking, "female" is the default setting for humans. If you turn out to be a male, the slots for the extra equipment are still there. (Hence male nipples.)

This thread is now open to snarky comments.

27. Our minds can do a whole heck of a lot more than people realize
That lactation is one example. Psychic healing is too often scoffed at, which is another example.

10. Spandrel. A leftover from your days as a female embyro.
You do realize that with proper prolactin injections and tablets, that you too can lactate and feed your newborn child?

Might wanna consider it if and when....

18. My new sweetheart thinks they are delicious
But the smile on my face as she's sucking on them is more quizzical than ecstatic. It's a turn on, sure, but not physiologically in my case. This does not seem to be the case when the roles are reversed, for which I am thankful.

I think I need to watch Olympic Womens Vollyball now.

21. none; men have them because women do
Stephen J. Gould clarifies evolutionary theory very well (funny, the "J." stands for--Jay; just like Homer J(ay) Simpson)

25. Everyone knows
they are something big brothers latch on to and twist.
It makes little brothers scream at a really high pitch.


And on men, well. A lactating man seems like a fab idea to me...
