They are called vestigial organs and men do not only posses a niple but they also posses a mammery gland.
other vistigial organs are: appendix, 3 molar, coccix, and many more.
these are organs that had other uses in the past.
this applies to almost every mammel.
for exmple the blue whale has a pelvis. proof that once it walked the earth.
same thing with our appendix, it was for a dif diet.
good question thanks.

why not? women have some too... why wouldn't we be allowed some fun too?
