        Actually it is true
        Certain psychiatric medicines that influence hormones does that - even in males

      We know, but we call it milk as a joke. It’s not actually milk.

        Sometimes regular stimulation is enough. I saw one case where a man took on an orphaned infant where there wasn’t even any animal milk available to hack together formula, and the starving infant attempting to get milk out of his nipple every hour for multiple days was enough to get the one breast to start making milk, and the infant lived thanks to it.

            Take six mg estradiol enanthate injections weekly for two years. Follow up with domperidone-based lactation induction. Supplementing a testosterone blocker would also be useful.

            Warning, this is essentially going on the full hormone therapy trans women go on. You can induce lactation, but it requires being hormonally female for an extended period of time. Look up the effects of mtf hormone therapy, as you would be getting all of them. Also the breast growth is permanent. You have been warned.

              I am not genuinely contemplating doing the hormone therapy, the above comment was in jest. However that is very cool to learn about. I had no idea breast development was a one-way road. These are questions I never thought to ask. Thanks for sharing

      Don’t many things need to go wrong during fetal development for that? The mammary tissue is usually completely destroyed by birth in men.
