8 years of living in Japan and there was one thing that I never realized - men are generally shy to show their nipples ( "nipples" otherwise known to Otaku as "B-chiku" find out why nipples are called B-chiku ). Even if its just their B-chiku showing through a t-shirt.

I've seen these products available for women a while back but lately seen some for men! Done a search to find this product called Nippless ( 526 yen for a 6 pairs - which will last you 12 times if you have only one nipple) which is for women *and* men (the kanji 男女兼用(だんじょけにょう) on the packet means "for men and women use").

Are you shy of showing your B-chiku? Would you use this product? And why the hell do men have nipples anyway?

Another one for me to add on the "WTF List".  So now I know why some of the guys on DBZ never had any B-chiku was cause of those things. :P

Anyway, I lol'ed at the last option on your poll.  Pure gold. XD

Things like this are always interesting.  I wonder why Japanese men have a problem with that.  Hmm...

Now that you mention it why do men have nipples!? ^o^

Just finished watched Byousiku 5 Centimeter - Oukashou, I think it very good.

I always found Japanese people (some others would fit this description nicely) amusing. They seem to be all prude and all, but when it comes to phantasm, they don't hide it... I guess it is more not to give a bad image of themselves or to keep some level of reputation.

Heh, something to hide men's B-Chiku. I knew that some would be ashamed of themselves and a bit excessively, but coming to this?
Well, if it sells, it means that some can't stand themselves in a sense after all...

Total weirdness!

Interesting that this is for men and women. Weird but interesting. I'm not afraid of showing my pecs. Men have nipples because everyone starts embryonic development through a female template that lasts till six weeks when male sex chromosomes start. So we men are left with nipples because of that.

I gotta say Japanese men are odd, that a lot coming from someone as weird as myself too. >_>; Its another matter for women however, traditionally their bodies should be more sacred, however with raving teenagers and their freaking hormones they can be largely inhibited... much to my dismay.

In truth, men's nipples DO have a purpose.  In times of need, they are actually functional!  

Male lactation, though rare, is a reality.

You mean this is for guys to wear when they go to the beach so that they can take their shirt off without exposing their nipples?  Interesting.

re: male nipples

If I recall correctly, during gestation human males develop from a "default" female template. Male nipples are thus a sort of vestigal organ, something that never posed enough of a "problem" for male embryonic development to bother removing entirely.

As far i know, it's used by marathon runners to prevent scratching the nipples.

私の場合は、乳首がピンク色だった時があってその時は男性として嫌でしたね。日焼けしづらい体質なので小麦色になりにくいです。
だから、比較的、肌がしろっぽく、乳首がピンクです。
友人とプールにでも行かない限り、指摘されることないので普段は気にしてません。一緒の場合で言われたりすると嫌ですね。ピンクなんて言われたくないです。
