This is kind of silly, but I've always wondered...why do men have nipples?

I mean, guys don't nurse babies, so what purpose does the male nipple serve? I just don't get it, really.

All embryos in the womb are initially female so I guess my answer would be "just in case".

Its a sensory thing, that we needed in the early man days.

to make sex and 2 det ur sperm out

To tell you the truth, nobody really knows. The best explanation I've been able to find (and frankly it doesn't explain very much) is that nipples aren't a sex-linked characteristic. In other words, nipples are just one of those sexually neutral pieces of equipment, like arms or brains, that humans get regardless of sex.
As you may know, every human being gets a unique set of 23 pairs of chromosomes at conception. These fall into two categories. One pair of chromosomes determines sex--the XX combination means you become female, the XY combination means you become male.
The other 22 pairs, the non-sex chromosomes (they're called autosomes), supply what we might call the standard equipment that all humans get. These 22 pairs constitute an all-purpose genetic blueprint that in effect is programmed for either maleness or femaleness by the sex chromosomes. The programming is done by the hormones secreted by the sex glands.
For example, the autosomes give you a voice box, while the sex hormones determine whether it's going to be a deep male voice or a high female voice. Similarly, the autosomes give you nipples, and the sex hormones determine whether said nipples are going to be functioning (in females) or not (in males).

So they can stay in touch with their feminine side.

We are all X as embryo's until dear old dad donates Y (boy) or X (girl) sperm.

some men recieve great sexual stimulation through them.

no reason, just to cause pain

too much info to give check the site

It is because during the first 18 weeks or so of pregnancy a fetus has not developed sex organs yet. The hormones that do that do not kick in right away so babies are either sex for quite a while, and develop all their other parts. That is why boys have nipples too.

There is a book called "Why do men have nipples?".

Basically, everyone starts out as a female in your mother's womb. It is only after a period of time that testosterone starts coming in and then the baby becomes a male.

The nipples are one of the first to be formed.

This is also why the sex of a baby cannot be determined too early.

When a embrio is formed whether it is male or female it has 8 nipples just like a cat or dog..when the embrio takes shape it diminishes to two

Very simple. All mamals are of female origin. Hormones customize to the gender. When a baby is forming, many parts are very similar. If the 2 berries descend, they are testicles. If they stay internal, they are ovaries.
It is a very similar process as used by GM and Ford. It is just less design work, so to speak.
But the purpose of the nipples once formed is none. However, the nerves are still the same as in a female.

Just how we were made. It's the same as the female's, so I don't understand why either. Just nature.

dont want to give all your options away to early in life you know
