When we are formed as fetuses both male and female bodies are the same , with the exception of sexual organs. Think of it as a blank slate and then when the childs sexual organs develop females will form mammary glands to feed thier children. So the blank slate will need nipples just in case it develops as a female . Hence males have nipples too.

Without Nipples the Male Chest Looks Strange - The nipples provide a focus point for the male chest. They direct the eye to the curve of the pectoral muscle.

There is no real biological purspose for Man Nipples... other then kinky sex for adults. And for children getting titty twisters in the playground from bullies. And if a man wanted a sex change operation he wouldn't need to get a nipple transplant from a woman. Imagine what a pain in the butt it would be to convince a woman to give you her nipples so you could fake breasts.

Human males and females are mammals, a class in the animal kingdom that have breasts and feeds its young with milk. The human fetus (embryo) has tissue that will evolve into breasts. Human male and female babies are born with nipples and associated ducts intact. It is the presence of genes that direct hormones to differentiate the breast tissue.
There would'nt be a function as such in the human male or any male in the mammalia class.

Up until the moment of birth, boys are actually girls, true fact. This is why we have nipples as we are set out to be girls but at the very last moment before birth we are given male chromosomes or genes.

At the time of conception, before a baby is sexed as a fetus, each baby starts out as girls and then the chromosomes divide and a baby either becomes a boy or a girl. Simply put, each boy starts out as a girls!

The template for humanity is female. If the Y chromosome is not triggered, you will develop as a female.
If the Y gets triggered, you go male.
It is too much of a bother to get rid of certain characteristics, so they stay.
Technically, as a man, you have a hymen, but no one can get to it

there is no function. when in the womb, we all start as female. when the male chromosomes come into play our reproductive organs drop giving us what we have now but the nipples remain.

You might want to ask a Greek male that question,rather than an American,they've been full of them selves since before the age of ,"BC".

What the other posters said about you being female for the first seven weeks of your life...
They now will provide pleasure. Have your partner play with them with their fingers, or try licking or sucking them. It might just feel really good!
