Everything you want to know about manly nipples and were afraid to ask.
When people hear the word "nipple," most often their minds picture a woman's. Nipples and breasts just seem to go together in most people's minds.
But of course, men have nipples, too. Even though men's are the only nipples we are allowed to see in public, they are oddly mysterious, overlooked and ignored. What are they even for?
The nipple and areola are two different things. Think of a bullseye: The nipple is at the center and the areola is the darker skin that surrounds it.
During early development, just after fertilization, male and female embryos start out alike, with the same genetic material. In the first four to five weeks, nipples start to develop, but it isn't until after six or seven weeks that the sex chromosomes (XX for female or XY for male) assert any differences. So most humans have nipples in common.
But why would a body go through the effort of growing nipples if they have no use? Actually, male nipples do serve a purpose, although it's one people don't often discuss. According to one study , for almost 52% of men, nipple stimulation enhances sexual arousal. So a majority of men report erogenous uses for their nipples.
Still, male nipples are relatively mysterious. Here are # things you might not know about them.
Structurally, men's nipples are no different from women's. They're all exactly the same. Sure, the amount of breast tissue and glands surrounding the nipple might differ, but the structures themselves are just the same.
Nipples, for both men and women, are considered to be "specific" erogenous zones (as opposed to "unspecific" places on the body like arms and legs). This means that both men and women often report sexual arousal with nipple stimulation.
But not ALL men or women. Not all nipples are sensitive, and sensitivity likely has little to do with gender (although males' nipples may actually have more nerve endings ).
Stimulation of the nipples can produce an rush of oxytocin and prolactin in the brain that triggers such intense feelings of pleasure that some people achieve orgasm from nipple stimulation alone. Both males and females report having these "nipple orgasms."
Sensitivity isn't always a good thing. During sports or while running, many men suffer nipple chafing, especially with certain types of fabric. Many use creams, barriers, or bandages to prevent chafing.
A nipple is just a mammal's means of feeding their offspring. The nipple's entire purpose is to enable babies to drink milk. Think of them like twin spigots. And since both male and females have mammary glands, this means that yes, the rumors are true: Some men can breastfeed.
Although the mammary glands are usually smaller in males, and milk production requires the production of prolactin (a hormone men don't usually produce), there have been rare instances where men were able to produce prolactin, make milk, and even breastfeed. It is a condition known as male galactorrhea and it can be caused by certain medications, pituitary or thyroid issues, tumors, or malnutrition, among other reasons.
Some people—men and women—have more than two nipples.
Before and during the 1800s, a man's extra nipple was considered a mark of virility.
Some people are born without nipples. Athelia is the absence of one or both nipples. It is a rare congenital condition that can occur on one or both sides. But some people have no nipples by choice. Some trans men choose to leave the nipples off when they have top surgery.
Genetics plays the biggest role in determining what nipples look like but overall, nipples come in several different "types": protruding or flat, everted or inverted, or a combination of these looks. And while we're at it, we might as well mention the wide range of size, shape, and color options. The average areola is four centimeters (about the size of a quarter) in diameter and about three times the size of the nipple , but again, size and ratio fluctuate widely, from dime-sized to half-dollar.
Not only do nipples come in all shapes and sizes, but no two nipples are exactly the same. Yes, that means its 100% normal if your left nipple is different from your right.
Those bumps in the areola (also known as Montgomery glands) surrounding the nipples contain glands and hair follicles, and both men and women have them. The hairs that grow here are often darker and wirier than the hair on your head.
Gynecomastia—an enlargement or swelling of male breast tissue—is a fairly common condition, especially during puberty, where hormones cause the tissue under a male's nipples to grow. Gynecomastia can effect one or both sides and sometimes becomes quite pronounced—enough to earn the title "breast" or "boob." This often happens early in puberty. Many report that their nipples are uncomfortably sensitive during this surge in hormones, but the extra swelling and sensitivity usually goes away within about a year.
A man's nipples will often change over the course of their lifetime. There are several reasons for this. Puberty causes nipples to grow and darken, but fluctuations in hormone levels can cause changes to the nipple later in life, also. Areolas are part of your skin, and this means they can stretch, especially when you gain or lose weight. It is not uncommon for nipples' size, color, and sensitivity to change over time. Weight gain or loss can also effect changes.
An "inverted" or "retracted nipple" is when the tip of the nipple pulls inward, below the surface of the areola. The condition is not rare and affects anywhere from 2 to 10% of people. Sometimes this is a permanent condition (congenital inversion), and sometimes it's a temporary reaction (to cold temperature, for example). Warmth and/or stimulation is usually enough to push the nipple back out. In most cases, an inverted nipple is a natural, harmless, normal thing.
Hard nipples are sometimes a sign of sexual arousal...but not always. There are a number of other explanations, including cold, friction, allergies, or sensitivities to fabric, food, or laundry detergent. Nipples have a mind of their own, no matter how embarrassing it may be when they assert themselves in public.
Even though at close range you can't tell one nipple from another , men's nipple are not illegal anywhere in the U.S., but laws about women's bodies are stricter (and much harder to interpret). Additionally, they vary from state to state, and most don't state explicitly what the laws forbid. Instead of clear policies, there are ambiguous phrases and vague warnings against exposing "intimate" or "private parts,” and this leaves the power of interpretation in the hands of police.
Men are also at risk for breast mastitis, and the nipple might show the first signs of an underlying condition. Redness, scaly dryness, discharge, or sudden nipple inversion are all signs to look for.
Women's nipples are against the law...but men's are not.

Diseases Of The Male Breast: Possible Causes Of Breast And Nipple Changes In Men

Hi, im almost turning 17 years old im a active teenage boy that plays basketball all the time, about 2-3 months ago my nipple was itchy so normally I just sctrached it without even thinking and a thew days after that my nipple started to crack, puss comes out sometimes, it goes scaly and scabby sometimes when i peel of the scab tiny amount of blood comes out. I have no pain on my nipple it's sometimes itchy but hardly ever. I visited the doctors like 2 weeks ago he said im developing... but arghh i wasnt sure about that examination from the doc I'm going to visit another one tomorrow im very scared it's holding me back to do many things in my life, does anyone know what this could be... just praying it's not cancer and stuff like that. My left nipple is just normal.

i have a lump in each niple at the base the lump is about an inch wide and then gets smaler futher towards the skin its painfull if somebody punches me there and they feel bumpy and like rocks

same here went to the doc and he asked me if i had this happen during puberty and i said no, im tiny guy never really went thru puberty and now im almost 28 as well my father had the same thing didnt start to really grow till 27 and he then put on 40 pounds and was a lean machine for many years. but thats what im thinking it is. its only my left nipple. i heard from a weight lifting buddy that when your body produces testosterone it also produces extra estrogen and that is whats causing the nipples to become sensitive and hard. he also said weightlifters on roids can have this effect them in much much more negative ways to where they may have to have surgery to remove whatever it is in there. i dont know what the guy said it was but it isnt anything to worry about unless it is disconforting. my doc said to give it 3 months.

Gynecomastia during puberty
Gynecomastia caused by hormone changes during puberty is very common, affecting over half of teenage boys. It is especially common in boys who are very tall or overweight. In most cases, the swollen breast tissue will go away without treatment within a few months to two or three years.

Hi young man, I was looking for info on breast lumps for my 13 year old son because he has a lump in his breast too . I came across a lot of info that said this is normal for someone his age. I read your entry and I am concerned about a few things that you stated, though. First that you are past 14 and have a lump developing at that age is a bit unusual. Second, you said that it became scabby, cracked, and pus came out of it. Now, it may be that you had an injury to that area and it caused an underlying hematoma, the scratching made it infected,or maybe some other kind of harmless thing. HOWEVER!! given the symptoms, I would DEFINITELY get another opinion. Because it is YOUR life and a doctor trying to rush you out of his office because insurance only allows him to do so much is not going to do you any favors. Also it couldn't hurt to get another opinion, and if worse comes to worse, most cancers are able to be cured if caught EARLY. so the sooner you fing out exactly what is going on, the better. I am in the health field, and have learned that not all doc's are created equal.

i am so freaked out!i am 13 and i have a lump under left nipple and everyone i know says that its cancer!Its really hard and when people punch me on that breast or get on top of it it hurts! and now i am so freaked out, i havent gone to a doctor yet, but i just want to know if this is normal?!?!?! please help me out someone.

When i was 16/17ish i had a lump directly behind my left nipple that i noticed when playing guitar as it was a bit sore pressed against me. I was pretty worried having just seen a thing about breast cancer in men, so i went to a doctor and he said it was a 'breast-bud' or something and it occurs naturally through puberty. It went away soon after, then came back briefly and then went away again and has been gone since.
Hope this helps!

hi, im 17, and i've had these lumps underneath both nipples since i was about 13-14, they've gone down a bit, but still promenant. So far ive heard 2 years and they'll be gone. Ive gone to my doc. and he says they'll be gone soon. How much longer will i have these for?

Yeah i am getting the same thing. It's supposedly fairly normal so there's nothing to be worried about. I just get annoyed cause i cant take my shirt off without getting embarrassed like at the beach and stuff

yo bro
same here im so freaked out that i have a lump under my left niple and
im scared to go to the doctor

im quite tall myself, and ive had this problem since i was 13.. im sixteen now.. its still the same as it ever was... real annoying...X(

To all the guys in pain:

When I was 14 years old, I developed a hard lump under one of my nipples. It hurt like HELL. Whenever one of my friends gave me a "titty twister", I would almost start crying. I freaked out and thought I had breast cancer, because nobody ever mentioned that this was a part of puberty for some guys, but...

IT IS.

It hurt for about a year, and then it began subsiding...but then the other nipple started hurting, and developed a similar lump. Nothing to worry about, guys. Just don't let your friends punch you in the chest, and bare with it for a year or two. Eventually it will go away and you'll have some very manly hairy nipples to boast about.

However, mine didn't scab or puss. If that's happening to you, get several opinions from doctors. I had a non-related skin condition that was miss-diagnosed by 3 different doctors before the 4th one finally got it.

GOOD LUCK DUDES! :D

yeah i'm 13 and i got then under my nipples and just today my mom bumped me and liquid came out. if i squeez the, more liquid comes out. whats wrong?

yeah i had the same problem, i went to the docters and they said, im fine its just a lump of hormones, it hurts really bad when i get punched

I used to have a bump under my right nipple when i was 12 and 13 but some time when i was 14 it when away. I am 15 now and its not there anymore so im guessing its normal and will go away eventually for everyone else too.
