Eric the Red Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 On KPTM Omaha news station they ran a news story, in depth research on "Why do men have nipples?" Is this state that boring? So why do men have nipples? Quote Link to comment
rawhide Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Here we go, You start out as a single cell after the sperm fertilizes the egg. Stay with me here. Then as the cells divide the zygote is neither male or female. As the zygote progresses into the fetal stage still no male/female. As the fetus develops is when the male/female parts develop but the nips develop before that period. Thus both m/f have nips. Sure you really wanted to know that now didnt you Quote Link to comment
huskerdavo Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Men have nipples to use as a tool of measurement. When I get a pizza, those pepperonis had better not be smaller than my nips or I am calling the manager. Also it makes for a good discussion at the shop. My nips are bigger than yours always comes up when amongst friends. Right? Quote Link to comment

huskerdavo Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Yeah but if you didn't have them what would you have instead? I think we should pony up some money and get a volunteer to have them removed. I think it would be the first in history and it would be intriguing at the least to see what a person would look like without them. Quote Link to comment

Sure you really wanted to know that now didnt you Well, actually, during early fetal development all fetuses start out being physically female; this occurs fetus being able to produce its own hormones. The production of testosterone is triggered around the seventh or eighth week of fetal development by the presence of the Y chromosome. This necessitates that female fetuses initially have rudimentary organs that could develop into either "male" or "female" reproductive and sexual organs. I imagine that nipples are vestiges of female breasts that are retained when the fetus begins producing the male hormones. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Actually, it's not that the state is boring. It's that KPTM is the worst station for news IMO. This thread is getting a little to scientific considering the topic of mens nipples. Quote Link to comment
huskerdavo Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 So AR if someone's nips are vastly bigger than another males does that mean he was a female longer? cause if so I really got to give my bud a hard time. his are the size of dinner plates Quote Link to comment

That'll give you plenty of ammunition... Quote Link to comment
