This video is of concern for a couple of reasons.  Men who have excess
mammary tissue are at greater lifetime risk for breast cancer.  It would not
be in the health interest of males to stimulate more mammary tissue growth.
One male relative had reduction mammoplasty for gynecomastia.  The surgeon
specifically said it would reduce the lifetime male breast cancer risk.
Higher than usual estrogen levels in males are a risk, so males undergoing
sex change and taking estrogens elevate their chances for breast and other
cancers.  Then Oxford scholar Fiona Giles has to sit naked in a bath for
this video.  Attention getting, yes, but for all the wrong reasons.
