So did Desmond Morris and all these other clever people who ascribed some variety of "intelligent design" to the "true" purpose and modern shapes/designs of women's breasts also offer equally credible and slick explanations for the existence of male nipples then?? :)
Apparently the solid rounded shape suffocates the baby and causes it to fight for air . One only has to look at the design of the teats on babies bottles to see the kind of shape that works best, much closer in design to the feeding apparatus of the female chimpanzee, infant has no difficulty . In other words all nipple no tit . So the female breast is predominantly a sexual signalling device, rather than an expanded milk machine.

This is why!

>existence of male nipples

cause the embryo follows a female template for the first 6 weeks when the male sex chromosone kicks in for male embryos. The embryo then begin to develop it's male characteristics. However the nipples and some breasts tissue is left.

Yeah I?ve heard that theory too. Because of it whenever I see cleavage I picture a little person bending over inside the lady?s blouse and sticking their bum out the top. Which is amusing but has also somewhat ruined it for me.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
