You can tell it's important because I've included some ALL CAPS. Anyway, the question is: Why do men have nipples? I've pondered this for awhile. Well not really, but it has still piqued the curiosity of many--myself included.

This site may mitigate the curiosity for some.

Alternatively, if you do not wish to discuss the reasons why men have nipples that cannot be milked, you can instead discuss whether or not they would look better without them. 🙂

Cheers!

Men definately look better with nipples; anything else would look kind of alienish, scarred or surgical, to me..lol

..nipples are the first parts of the growing fetus to develop before gender identification is genetically sealed, regardless; i guess you could say it's a "default" part of our anatomy. Then of course hormones, testosterone and other dna factors take over. Because nipples are there "before" this process begins the nipples stay. That's why basically all species of male (mammels) have them too. Having nipples doesn't disadvantage men, and many may actually enjoy them for a whole lot of different reasons. And while some men may experience alot of nipple sensation, some do not at all, which is interesting of itself.

Also, males technically have breasts. They just don't grow as big as women's. That's why men who take illegal steroids have unusually large "breasts". Hormonal inbalances. Though alot more rare, men can get breast cancer too.
