Scarlett Johansson 'baffled' by why men have nipples

The 'He's Just Not That into You' actress, Scarlet Johansson, says shes completely baffled by the fact that men have nipples.

She quoted in Chicago Sun Times, "The one thing I don't understand about men is nipples. I don't know if there is one aspect of men that I don't understand other than why they have nipples. Honestly, why? I guess it has something to do with the X chromosome.

"What is the function of the male nipple? Maybe we all start as androgynous creatures and then they become men?"

Is that like asking Johansson why women have underarm hair?

I say they should verify that Obama has a belly button.

Because it would look stupid if they just had a nipple. So it is for appearance balance.

Did anyone here learn about hormones.Most males are born with female characteristics until testosterone kicks in that what turns females into males.At least that's what I recall from biology class.

Well she actually answered her own question in a round about way. We are androgynous creatures until at one point when testosterone kicks in for men and starts growing our manly parts.

Why do men have nipples?

Because the genetic default is for male and female to share some characteristics. Learn more at This link.

I think it said because we as babies in the womb start out as female

Not exactly accurate. There is a genital "bud," neither male nor female, with the potential to develop into either. Genetic and hormonal influences cause some structures to grow and develop, and others to basically waste away, leading to sexual characteristics of male or female. Look up the term "Wolffian Ducts" as a reference for this.

WHY MEN HAVE NIPPLES.

Because the same basic plan has to be adaptable to be either male or female depending upon the hormones that act upon it during gestation, growth, and sexual maturation.

Feminazi idiocy states that ‘we all start out female’ and that is a crock. We all start out as hermaphrodites with the progenitors of BOTH sexual organs. Depending upon the level of sexual hormones one will develop and the other will wither away.

During teenage years women's “nipples” grow into a prominent forward facing sexual display, some more PROMINENT than others (nice ta ta’s Scarlett) due, once again, to sexual hormones. Yes, they also feed children; but they don't need to be all big and sexy for that.

Male nipples get engorged and sensitive to stimulation during sexual arousal as well, and this might be one of the ways that we as a species are encouraged to engage in face to face sexual contact rather than the more usual (and anonymous) from behind.

And if anybody needs me to answer any more questions “I'll be in my bunk”.

THats what I heard from animal physiology class as well. Except one thing, you are a male from the get go, the testosterone just directs the chemicals to grow and develop certain aspects of you. A male baby who doesnt receive his testosterone in the womb can grow up to look exactly like a woman but internally a man.
