Best Answer

You can, but only if the woman is lactating. This means that her body is making milk. This might happen when she had a baby and has too much milk, or she might be taking hormones to make her make milk. There's no difference from a baby and a full-grown person drinking milk from the nipple. However, it may be painful for her, because babies have few if any teeth, and you probably do. There's no reason you can't if you are careful and she's willing and lactating!

How can males produce breast milk?

Yes, in theory, men can breastfeed. Male breasts have milk ducts, and some mammary tissue. They also have oxytocin and prolactin, the hormones responsible for milk production. There have been reports of men who were able to produce milk through extensive breast and nipple stimulation, but no one knows whether the milk was of the same composition or quality as the kind women produce. Using a pump, or a feeding tube (a small silicone tube attached to a plastic bottle filled with formula) at his breast, he might be able to get a baby to latch on and suckle, but how long it would take to produce even drops of milk is anyone's guess.
