Male nipples aren't exactly a genetic glitch: they are evidence of our developmental clock. In the early stages of life from conception until about 14 weeks, all human fetuses look the same, regardless of gender. At the tender age of 14 weeks post-fertilization , genetically-male fetuses begin to produce male hormones including testosterone. These hormones turn the androgynous fetus into a bouncing baby boy. \n\nHere's where the developmental clock comes in. By 14 weeks, when the hormones turn on, the nipples have already formed. So, while our male fetus goes on to become a baby boy, he keeps his nipples, reminding all of us that people, male and female, started off the same way.

The female breasts have been associated more sexual function, than nutritional function.  Nudity and sex in the United States have become taboo in the public forum.  The female breasts, whose function is non-sexual, has taken on a sexual status. AND, since sexually charged items are highly censored on all public media forums in the United States, a woman's breast is considered to controversial for all ages public viewing.  So if a 7 year old child is watching Dr. 90210 with her mother she might be scarred by the sight of female breasts.  (Or so the censors believe). \n\nTo answer your second questions all humans(including men), have nipples to prove that humans are mammals. Remember that the distinguishing features of mammals, from whales to mice, are two: having hair and nursing their offspring. Granted the male of our species can not nurse, but thosenipples are there to remind us what species men are....and to let women know when men are cold (lol)

Men have nipples. That is just part of human anatomy for males and females. \n\nAs for beards, that is also part of our biology. Men\nhave testosterone hormone which increases their hair growth at puberty and then into manhood.\n\nSome woman with high testosterone levels also have hair growth on face, for which most use some form of hair removal creme or other method\n\nBeards are a mans preference. My husband loves to groom himself with different face fashions  mustache, gotti\nsideburns, sideburns that frame chin. \n\nHave you ever seen a really long mustache. I wonder about\nthose\n\nI know for years its been part of men and fashion statement.\n\nHow about those long long beards like zztop, very funky.\n\nBluebeard, Jesus Christ,  Saints, Monks, Pirates, Rock Stars, Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean (oooh)The bearded lady at the circus. \n\nuh oh, i'm going off now. \n\nBeards. They feel fuzzy and scrape your face when he kisses you. They can stimulate you when they rub up against your body. Hmmm. Think about that. They can make a man look \ndistinguished or unkempt. They can have things crawling in them if your not careful soooo WATCH OUT when you kiss the bearded men. And check out what happens when you pinch their nipples!

Where's your evidence?\n\nWe all start out female (that's the reason guys have nipples). The gender gene kicks in later and we develop into males and females. Suppose any genetic or hormonal conditions which lead to homosexuality kick in after gender is determined? There'd be no more reason to think that ALL women would therefore be bisexual than there would be to say all men were bisexual.

There are several reasons for this. Most men would have a natural respect for the curves of the female body. The most pronounced would be those of the breast and the gluteus maximus. This answer is similar to that of why a monkey would be interested in something shiny: it catches their eye. The breast has also become an icon of sexuality, something hidden from plain view, while also displayed proudly by many women. It is also well known that it is a sensitive area for the woman and causes arousal if caressed. Another aspect is that of the connection with their mother. As an infant many children may be nursed but the real connection is in how they are held. Most children are held to their mother's breast, close to their heart and it becomes known to them as a symbol of warmth and love. It also is a symbol of safety or security as they see their mothers as protecting them and this ideology continues into adulthood. There are a few other reasons, such as other men pointing out the breasts more commonly on a woman than much else and peer pressure otherwise.

Your breasts are made of fat, skin, muscle and milk ducts, and other assorted things (like tubes to connect your milk ducts to your nipple, blood vessles, lymph nodes, etc)\n\nIn fact a male breast is made up of the same thing.\n\nMale and female babies can be born lactating because they are exposed to their moms hormones.\n\nSo you do not have breastmilk in your breasts but you are capable of making it if your hormones tell you to.

When we are concieved the chromosones dont distinguish between male and female until after the nipples have started to develop.\n\nWith women the cells continue to specialise and produce breast tissue with men they don't.

My ex had 3 nipples. When he was a kid someone shot him with a BeeBee gun. Hit him in the chest and caused a scar that looked just like a nipple.

psychologically, the nipple represents the breast, and they do not look completely topless unless you can see the nipple. same reason you dont notice a womans breasts as much untill her nipples get hard....you ate from them for a long time as a child, they hold fasination

WHY DO WOMEN HAVE BOOBS?

No, only mammals (with the exception of monotremes) have nipples. Chicken "breasts" are their huge pectoral muscles. \nI hope you're on the winning side :-)

because males MAY use them as stimulation receptors, they aren't ruled out by evolution\nso infact that are used, just not like females use them (think about it, if a male has nipples and uses them this way, then he would be able to spread his charateristic to more females thereby increasing the popularity and favorability of the trait)\nas for the question of why they there in the first place...\nits one of those characteristics that are kept when the baby is developing in the womb
