Technorati Tags: gynecomastia Why do men have nipples? It might sound like a very awkward question, but some men might have actually wondered why they have nipples. Fortunately there are people such as Dr. Michael Bermant who actually provides an answer to such a query.
The nipples provide a focus point for the male chest. They direct the eye to the curve of the pectoral muscle.
