The Nipple Mystery - Did you ever wonder why men have nipples? Who said biology can't be fair?

During the early stages of development, all embryos follow a similar blueprint. Nipples form before the sex of the embryo is determined. That's why both men and women start with nipples! In females, extra tissue develops around the nipples due to hormonal changes during puberty, preparing them for potential breastfeeding. Men's nipples generally remain smaller and don't undergo such changes. Yes, it's possible for men to lactate! While rare, hormonal imbalances or certain medications can trigger milk production in men.

The purpose - While men's nipples might not serve the same functional purpose as women's, they can still have sensitivity and contribute to sexual arousal. Nipples contain sensory nerve endings, making them erogenous zones. Just like female nipples, they are sensitive to touch & are a major stimulatory organ.

Nipples are a reminder that regardless of gender, we all start from the same point. It's like a tiny lesson in equality right on your chest!
