Best Answer

Women have breasts to feed their young children, much like other mammals do. The breasts contain the mammary glands that produce milk for infants. The breast do not normally produce milk until stimulated by hormones during pregnancy.

The one biological purpose of breasts is for nursing newborns. However they can have other uses in the context of intimacy.

No, not normally.

Men have functioning nipples that can potentially produce milk, but do not because males have a different hormone makeup. If artificial hormones are introduced or an imbalance occurs, then they can potentially produce milk or develop breast tissue. However, this is not the norm for a healthy adult male.

There are also males that chose to be surgically altered to have breasts.

Some overweight makes have fatty deposits in their chests area that can appear like breasts, but that lack any actual breast tissue.
