why are male nipples ok to show?

Jennifer17··9 votes·2,625 views

this is something that always confused me... nipples are the gender neutral thing. the actual breast isnt.

so actually you should show the nipple and censor the breast not the other way around. and why are male nipples totally fine but female nipples arent? who decides that? i really dont get it.

it's because females breastfeed and some people find lactation gross. so that is why. it's the same reason why butts are okay, but sphincters aren't and same thing with the vagina. the only part that matters is the actual divide and not the outer folds.

as for who decided it? well.. society has as a whole over the course of however long it's been around. specifically it was something that involved religions and personal preference.

Because male nipples aren't sexualized.

I can tell you that the only time I've gone "damn look at that guy's nips" is when an artist really draws attention to them for some reason. Like making them the size of a fucking golfball for some unfathomable reason. I imagine most other people who are into guys will share my stance on that. Not all, but a fair majority of them.

Not quite the same for female nips.

I say, just let what gave us show. Ceonsorship is dumb. Like what, violence okay but the beautiful female figure isn't?

Well technically men have breast as well our aren't just a big ol thing of jigglys though so I think the nipple adds emphasis on the female breast making it more sexual? Idk. You dont go up to a guy being like oh look at them big ol breasts.

I have never found the nipple part to be attractive anyway to begin with. that's why it doesn't make sense to only block the nipple with a bikini for example.

Something something not going to make the rest of the joke because I like my account. :P

Pretty sure you're in the minority there, though.

Yeah. It makes absolutely no sense why showing the entirety of the rest of the breast is okay as long as the nipple itself is covered. But law only specifies the nipple and I doubt there are many people willing to enforce beyond that. At least, not anyone with the ability to enforce beyond that.

I don't know about here but i have never met anyone who actually "appreciates" the nipple instead of the shape of the breast. Everyone i know considers the nipple to be the ugly part of the breast and the breast looks better when it's covered.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh................Yeah I'm going to disagree on that one. Granted, the "research" I've done isn't necessarily the most...adherent to reality, but the sheer pervasiveness of the opposite of your claim leads me to believe it has basis in fact.

that's nice and all, but the science has already been done and is very well established.

I googled it and did not come to the same conclusion you did...

If you "google it" you'll find quite a lot of erogenous zones that are considered acceptable to show - including male nipples. There are erogenous zones beyond genetalia and nipples.

I'd give the map a miss.

Erogenous zones include the nape (the soft part of the neck as you mention), senstive parts of the wrist, the earlobe and the back of the knee, a small area of the lower back, the inner thigh and the navel. Very NSFW areas.

Honestly, for a game about fighting, there isn't really a good reason for a male character to not be wearing a shirt.

There shouldn't be any nipples showing really

It's hot when fighting. Shirt gets sweaty>You remove shirt because sweaty shirt feels gross.

Unless it's magical or armor, or it's cold out, a shirt isn't going to do shit on a guy in a fight.

I think in most martial arts wearing a shirt is a huge disadvantage because it generally becomes a weapon against you. One form, I think Brazillian Jujitsu, has a discipline devoted just to owning people wearing a shirt by using their shirt against them.

I agree...

I mean the answers are obvious, societal norms and sexism and all that crap but I have always found it to be silly...
