    Not normal, but lucky.

    Hang out around the coffee pot, ask friends if they take 2 squirts or 3.

    Gosh, that's VERY wrong and so out of common...

    Right, I don't think you're serious, and if you are: I don't think that can be milk, because only women can lactate, when they're pregnant! So... I don't think a male could get pregnant, can he?

    Try to talk with a doctor about this!

    No. If you think you are being funny, you're not.

    It is not normal for a man to lactate, but it is entirely possible. Male breasts and female breasts are fundamentally the same. The difference lies in hormones, which cause the glands to swell and fat to collect. Lactation in men is caused by a hormonal imbalance... drinking way too much soy milk, for example, can cause this (as well as lowered sex drive).

    It can also be a severe problem such as breast cancer (in rare cases) and yes, men get breast cancer, too.

    Go see a physician.

    male lactation can be a side effect to medications you should tell your doctor about it. if you are not on any meds, you might have mammary glands, this means you could be a hermaphrodite. Good luck with that

    No. Any fluid leaking from the nipple requires a trip to the doctors. Get an emergency appointment!

    Only if you are pregnant. Once you have weened the baby, lactation should stop.

    Not Normal in the least.

    1st we do not have lactation ducts or the such.

    2nd this could be a infection or worse cancer... CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR ASAP!
