Hi,

Just out of curiosity. We all know that women have different nipple heads.(Actually guys do too).

What is the key determinant here? From mom? Dad? And is there a majority kind of nipple head for different kind of people? I know asian girls tend to have "petite" nipples and most European girls have "perky" kind.

Is there something in genetics that determines this?

-Tom
