My fiance and I were talking about stuff and he said i wonder why man have nipples. I said I dont know. The next day I decided to watch TV instead of get on the internet and I was watching animal planet. They were talking about penguins and how the male feeds there young waiting on the female. They said that one thing man and woman have in common is nipples and that every man has everything they need to produce milk there is just a hormone that prevents it from produceing in most cases. then they go to this story about how all through history there are storys of man producing milk and then they talked to this woman that said when she got pregnat her husband said I'm going to breastfeed. She said so by power of suggestion one day ONE of his boobs swelled up with milk. WEIRD. What do you think of this? If your a woman would it be weird having your husband breastfeed instead. If your a man would it be weird to breastfeed? Woman do you think that we should find a way to make all man breastfeed so that all we have to do is give birth LOL? Have you ever heard of this and what do you think? heres a link for those that likes to read stuff about it. http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=A24E0966-E7F2-99DF-322F8725F208D744

I would love for men to be able to breasfeed. Anything to let them know exactly what women go through, although my child bearing days are over. I have never heard of either but find it very interesting.
