    Factors Head Shape
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the genetic determinants of nipple shape and size in both women and men, with participants expressing curiosity about whether these traits are inherited from parents. There is speculation about regional variations, noting that Asian women may have "petite" nipples while European women often have "perky" ones. The conversation emphasizes a desire for scientific insights into the genetics behind these physical traits, while some participants suggest that the forum may not be the most appropriate place for such discussions. Overall, the focus remains on understanding the genetic factors influencing nipple characteristics.

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?

As much as I enjoy the subject you are talking about, I really don't think this is the site to do it on.

Me neither Prudens, this is a science forum so keep that the topic.
