Hey, males have areolas as well as nipples, and any chubby/obese man has
cleavage as well.

For an amusing little article about why showing your nipple/areola in public
is taboo in the US, while showing every other part of the breast is 'sexy'
-- see G. O'Brien (1995) "Nipple Phobia."  PLAYBOY, January 1995, pp. 42-43.

I quote from O'Brien at the beginning of my chapter "Beauty and the Breast":
  "So what is it about this small gland of postnatal nourishment that puts a
great nation in a dither?  Perhaps the problem has to do with generations of
men who didn't get enough nipple when it really counted."
