The correct medical term for male lactation is male galactorrhea.

Lactation requires mainly estrogen, progesterone and prolactin.

Theoretically greatly increasing the levels of those hormones in your body should lead to some degree of lactation. But since you mammalian glands didn't develop in puberty like female ones do, the actual milk production will be very little. There are several medications which are known to cause galactorrhea

as a side effect (f. ex. Tagamet

and Risperidone),

also several foods are supposed to increase lactation (asparagus etc.). Pathologically galactorrhea

frequently occurs in males with pituitary adenoma

(tumor of the pituitary gland). Several observations made by allied doctors after treating the victims of concentration camps in WW2 also lead to the conclusion that the hormonal dysregulation

caused by starving can lead to galactorrhea

in males.
Physiologically, due to a combination of the effects of maternal hormones before birth, prolactin

and growth hormone passed through breast feeding and the postnatal pituitary and thyroid hormone surge in the infant, male galactorrhea

sometimes occurs in male and female newborns.

physically stimulate the nipple and areola, and the body will respond by making milk! Forget about milk inducing drugs and exotic techniques: all it takes is stimulation!
