"Do Males produce prolactin and/or oxytocin?  After hearing people
on-line describe "phantom let-downs," I must admit it sounds very
similar to the sensations I feel when I witness a baby latch on and
feed for the first time.  It is a warmth that spreads throughout my
chest.  Is it possible, or just something else??"

Whooaaaa!! This sounds veerrryy interesting.... Since I'm the one who
started the posts about phantom letdowns, I have received numerous emails
from women who have them all the time, but you are the first MAN!!  Do your
nipples ever tingle?  You know there are stories about men who have lactated
and fed infants in extreme circumstances but I bet you are just so tuned in
to women who are breastfeeding, that it is a "sympathy" type reaction. I
certainly don't know the answer.  Kathy Dettwyler, what do you think?
Interesting, huh?
