lactate experiment: will you do it?

what you said is very true. naturally its the prolactin hormone which induces the boobis to work however the connection between pinching / baby suckling on mammary glands is that every time suckling occurs, the pituitary gland is stimulated by the hypothalamus to release a huge surge of prolactin, prolonging the ability of breasts to secrete milk. if suckling stops, prolactin drops down.

also, when someone suckles, oxytocin is also released, which basically is the milk release hormone.

*referenced princeton mcat review book of 2005

men don't have mammary glands, but perhaps, the body can be induced into making a pseudo form of itttt? after all, the nipples in male and females are basically the same in morphology and fucntion

Lactation is controlled by hormones. The pituitary gland secretes prolactin normally which suppresses it. When the hypothalamus secrets prolactin inhibiting hormone the pituatary stops secreting prolactin. Then the boobies get to work. PIH is in fact dopamine. This is why some antipsychotic presciption meds give men boobs.

edit: ya honestly do men don't have mammary glands, so i don't see it possible for men to lactate. but those drugs will definately fill out the bro

then how is it possible for men to get breast cancer, I know its really rare

Men with a hyperactive prolactine hormone can produce breast milk (at least according to Google 🙂)

did you know that that you can induce your nipples to produce milk? even when you're a guy?

try pinching them everyday for 6 months. i guarantee you'll start lactating.

i didnt know until my bio teacher told the class...

so who's the lucky volunteeer?

I've done this for two years (it's a hobby) and got nothing but tingles. 🙁

I think guys have the faucets but no plumbing.
 
In the name of science, I actually tried this a while back, but I couldn't make it happen. Kudos to anyone who does though, because that would be tits.

When I think about you I touch myself.

That was a good video!
 
So you're saying I would never have to go without my Lucky Charms ever again because I forgot to pick up milk the night before? This may be worth a try... 😉😀
