Oh?! I’m new so I missed that! Sorry!
To breastfeed male babies?
there has been no evolutionary pressure to remove them.
Because evolution is true.
Possibly NSFW I have not read the entire article…I’m mainly posting it for the picture. Move your cursor over the picture, you’ll see what it looks like for a male to not have nipples. I have not viewed the additional pages to this article!
I have no idea, but they might look a little odd without them. No Nipples
We were given them to prevent Nipple Envy.
Where would my piercings go otherwise?
In all seriousness, to save you time, here is my previous answer to this Q.
Not to mention how convienient it is to be able to call friends on a cold day with your phone still in your shirt pocket.
The same reason women have a clitoris, for pleasure ;)
Like @Facade, I’ll agree it’s for the same reason that women have what is essentially a tiny little penis analog – but it’s for more than just pleasure. It’s there (and nipples too) because our bodies are built on the same basic model. You can change it a bit with hormones, to give men more muscle or women more subcutaneous fat, but it’s made from the same blueprint – two legs, two eyes, stomach, gall bladder, and, yes, nipples and clits.
Now if you REALLY want a question, ask yourself “Why do men go crazy for a woman’s nipples, but women don’t go crazy for a man’s?
Human embryos start out female, The y chromosome changes it to male. Nipples on a male, are left over from its early development.
If you’re asking this question you’re not having the best sex you could be having.
