jk.....there to make m3n able to turn into women :gaykeke:

Because we also have an X chromosome as well as a Y chromosome and the X chromosome codes for the nipples...maybe. Just a thought. They're vestigal parts. Evolutionary left-overs.

Ohis Moment of Science will answer a question that must have been gnawing at you since you first noticed that human males have nipples. What genetic glitch left human males with female features?

 

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.

 

Here'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.

 

In most men, the nipples really don't change after this point, but some men can develop a condition called gynecomastia. In gynecomastia, the fatty tissue around the nipple develops and eventually appears similar to a female breast. This can occur whenever the testosterone level is lowered by medications, such as those that treat prostate cancer, and by natural hormonal changes due to obesity, adolescence or aging.

 

Luckily, most of us don't worry too much about male nipples, so men never have to worry about finding swimtrunks and a bikini top that fit.

    I wonder if I can lactate if I inject myself with enough estrogen :O_o:

     

    I think you should give it a try. Just imagine all the free milk man. :boink:

    This is probably the best thread I have seen in a while.

     

    I think the reason is so that man boobs look more awesome.

    Because they are left over on men, the job doesnt get finished whereas woman they do get finished for our pleasure k.

    I remember.......I think forum.....Some dude was wearing the birth control patch and started feeling the effects. But search has been disbaled so you will have to ask one of the myg0t members to get it from the archives.

    It is obious.. This is just because the Gman wanted to rape you and thought you looked ugly with nipples so he added them. Now.. added to the hl2:ep1 story where it says 'he lost control.' i guess he hasn't been able to rape gordon yet before he got away!!!!!!!!1 :sleep2:
    The foetus is actually a girl before a certain time in the pregnancy when the sex is chosen by chromosomes.

     

    End of thread.

    Actually you are wrong, the fetus sex is determined at the moment of conception. At 14 weeks the fetus of a male and female are exactly the same, however after this time the males hormones and females hormones begin to develop.
