Why do we men have nipples ?

Evolution never quite got round to completely removing our ****. Just to the point where it was an advantage over men with them.

Totally gutted that I read the last posters name as "Big Nipples"

My mate (Big Kev) said that if you cut the nipples off a man, all his skin will roll into one pile within seconds. Never seen it happen, but I can imagine.

Men need a place for whipped cream to go to you know...

So we have something else to lick. Don't ask me why, but a women's committee probably put them in.

Another thing, why do women think it turns us on if they lick and nibble our nipples?

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!

I do believe they grow before the sex of the baby is determined inside the womb. Not sure though...
