why do men have nipples?

The description on the cover says "Hundreds of questions you'd only ask a doctor after your third martini". The book is full of answers to silly questions like 'does eating chocolate cause acne?', and 'is sperm nutricious? or fattening?' (hahaha), or 'can u drink your own urine?' (yuck!), or 'can u catch diseases from a toilet seat?', and of course the age old question 'do men need sex more often than women?'.


The scientifically proven answers to the questions above are 1. NO, acne is connected more to changing hormones than to food choices, 2. The average ejaculate contain about two to three hundred million sperm. Total calories: about five. So despite its important load, sperm is not particularly nutricious nor fattening, (hmmm...) 3. The Chinese Association of Urine Theraphy (seriously!) says urine is sterile, antiseptic and nontoxic. For serious Yoga practitioners, drinking one's urine is called amorali (er..Danura..?). Its 95% water anyway, with the rest being 2.5%Urea and 2.5%salt and other minerals. But the point is, why the heck would you want to drink your own urine??? 4. Yes you can, BUT its not that common. (phew!). However...WORK may be worse than the toilet seat. A study in Arizona found that the typical office desk harbors around 400 times more disease-causing bacteria than the average toilet seat!! (Obviously, they havent seen our public toilets in Brunei! Huh!). 5. Do we really need to answer this question??? As if we dont know the answer already!!! hahahaha.

btw. Why do men have nipples? Its because boys and girls start the same at the embryo stage. Its only after six weeks that girls nipples were put to use. Men are left with nipples that do nothing. oh, and men can get breast cancer!

Why do men fall asleep after sex?

I love books. I love to read, if only to escape from kehidupan yang boring ani. But i read banyak jua buku2 yang bertujuan mengajar. The next few entries would be about my books.


This book isnt about sex!! Utak kuning! No its a book in a series by two scientists to explain some common things. Normal things that we have but we seldom question. Questions like 'why do women pee more than men?' (because men have larger bladders and can store more and whenever men pee, they therefore pee more. Womens bladder is smaller and so they have to pee more often. hahaha), 'why do feet smell?'( because even though sweat is odor-free, bacteria on the surface of the feet act on the sweat and caused the stink. and we have a quarter of a million sweat glands on our feet), 'do animals masturbate?' (yes they do! Orangutans in Borneo have even learned to masturbate using sticks!!). etc etc etc. Hundreds of useless information in the books. Geddit?

btw why do men fall asleep after sex? The book gave three possible explanations. Chemicals. Men orgasm more than women. And 'men work so damn hard'. Go figure!

p.s. The other book in the series is titled "why do men have nipples?".
