There have been cases where a man has lactated. It may not have had all the benefits of a nursing mother's breast milk, but the human body is made up of elements that are basically the same, just in different proportions from male to female. Men have estrogen...albeit, in a lesser amount than a woman. Woman have testosterone, and again it is in a lesser amount than a man. There have been documented extreme cases where a man has expressed sustinance for a hungry child.

Anyway...in most cases, if you are not a woman, or you are a woman and you are not pregnant or post partum...you shouldn't be lactating. If you are, or if anything is leaking from your nipples, you should seek medical attention immediately!
