When a baby is in womb, it starts to develop what its body is gonna look like. When the Y chromosome kicks in, it sends a signal to the body of the embryo that says it's gonna be a boy and it starts making testosterone, therefore stooping the breast tissue from ever developing.
So basically they are ther "just in case"...

I believe that it has a lot to do with the fact that at birth, the fetus is designed to take on either male or female traits based on the chromosomes of the parents. The basic difference between the two sexes is that if the child becomes a girl, the testicles become the ovaries, and if the child is a boy, then the clitoris, I believe, becomes the penis. The bottom line being that eyes, toes, arms, hands, and nipples are all the standard for both sexes. Even though nipples in men do not become breasts, the can't just disappear. They remain like everything else the two sexes have in common.

The right answer is that because every men and women are equal OK. like women have breast and men have muscle chess breast and they have to have nipples as well OK. Women when they have first child they give milk from the breast. I know that some part of human body is deterrent OK but some of them are the same OK. Do u know what am I try to say here?

Because when a child is conceived, the zygote is female for the first 13 days of life. Then, if it is to be a boy, the ovary's drop and turn into testicles, the clitoris grows into a penis, the cavity closes up and they never develope the milk duct for lactation.
Mystery solved!.

Because men start out as fetuses and the fetus starts as a woman, so they have niples, there isn't anything to grow so they just stay that way.

Well...I'm not really sure why, but I do know that some men find nipple stimulation very erotic.

One reason may be for sexual purposes. We men can become just as aroused as you women by having our nipples carressed or sucked on. Outside of that, I can't really think of another reason. Thanks.
