Why do Men Have Nipples?

Digger asks - ‘Why do men have nipples?’ Seriously he did.

Ok - well I thought this could be a little hard to answer but was proven wrong by my friend Google. In fact there is no shortage on information - let me share some links to help shed some light on it:

- Salon - Why Do Men Have Nipples?

- The Straight Dope - Why Do Men Have Nipples?

- Plastic Surgery 4 U - Why Do Men Have Nipples?

- Rock Hawk - Why do Men Have Nipples?

- Stupid Questions Answered - Why Men have Nipples

You can read all the above - but basically the answer is - no one really seems to know. Some of the articles say its because we’re mammals (makes sense I guess) but not a really satisfactory answer.

Why do you think it is?

    Would you be surprised to know that given the right circumstances and lots of nipple stimulation, men can be induced to provide milk. Read that bizarre fact in Fresh Milk.

    That would have shown true blog-commitment
