    Anyone can lactate with a course of lactation inducing medication (of which there are several iirc)

    Or with about 30 days of stimulation training, which basically involves using a pump on your nipples multiple times a day.

        Yes.

        Men are fully equipped to lactate. They just typically lack the hormones or stimulation to trigger it naturally.

        They do, they have breast tissue, even if very little. Which also means that men can get breast cancer.

          But women have milk ducts, an essential body part to develop & channel milk. Do men have milk ducts?

            Milk ducts are just a specialized sweat glands, it’s not the same but it works.
