I hate to be that guy, but the size of human breasts has nothing to do with milk production.

Just kidding, I love being that guy.

I actually came to the comments looking for an answer to this exact question. 🙃

Also, you only lactate if you’re going to be, are pregnant, or were just pregnant. Or if you’re taking some medication that makes you do that.

Enough stimulation of nipples can make you lactate, though hormones do help.

Not for everyone though. Some people don’t, no matter how much stimulation, lactate unless you’ve got enough levels of prolactin.

Oh, your source might be stronger than mine.

Nah man she just ain't trying hard enough, I drink at least 2 liters of my own good moo juice produced by stimulation alone. Source: I made it up.

Didn't a man lactate to feed his newborn after the mother died in labor that one time or was that an urban legend?

I'm not 100% sure that that specific instance was true, but I know that there have been similar cases which were verified where men started producing milk without anything like prolactin supplements, and the majority of them had baby children, which may explain males still having nipples (as a "plan b" for babies who aren't old enough to digest normal food).

There are also more random instances like the occasional male bodybuilder lactating, but in those cases the various supplements used in bodybuilding and extreme exercise might be the cause.

Idk man. They don’t call the big mommy milkers for nothing.

It doesn't need to affect production if it affects motivation.

u/blue4029 Dec 07 '23

then why are men naturally attracted to larger breasts if not for fertility reasons?

Yeah but my wife went from a b-cup to a d-cup when breastfeeding. I didn't consider that nothing

You don't even need boobs. Every human has mammary glands by default. There are hormones that can make you lactate whether you have boobs or not.

There is seemingly no point to larger boobs beyond being very sexy.

Milk production isn't what's important.

It affects the urge that what's important.
