Here are FIVE theories. All but one are mine. Please circle the one you jive most with.
Why do guys have nipples?:
1. So teenage boys can count the hair around them when they're bored on Sunday mornings.
2. Because getting our nips touched and even sucked feels pretty damn great too.
3. So that our torsos aren't just a sheet of skin with blank titty meat.
4. Because females do. The presence of nipples in male mammals is a genetic architectural by-product of nipples in females. Andrew M. Simons, a professor of biology at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario - Scientific American
5. So we don't get too carried away with deep V-necks.
I say number 2. My boyfriend goes NUTS when I lick and suck and bite them.
So we don't get too carried away with deep V-necks. hahaha AMEN
2 and 4 both sound pretty good to me. :)
My theory is that primeval man also came with the equipment to nurse a child if the mother died in childbirth, etc. Darwinian law of species survival. Plus it makes us more alike than completely separate species.
It's because nipples develop before sexual differentiation occurs in an embryo. Science!
Bing! Great to see someone knowing science!
We are all born female until the Y chromosome is introduced by the male.
