It helps remind you which side of your body your ass isn't on. This can be very useful if your head is stuck, there, and you have grope around to relocate your various parts by touch, alone. :cool:

I don't remember, I was either looking for breastfeeding information (back when I was breastfeeding my kids), or was trying to find a good page for my son to read about "Why do men have nipples?" when he asked me that question, like the OP.

It's from the Redundant Department of Redundancy Handle Issuing Department.

M4H= Mercenary For Hire. Of course, Mercenary automatically leads to For Hire, so it's redundant.

You, my friend, are a good candidate for nipple rings.
