Thanks for the replies all. Yes, it does sound like an episode of Friends but trust me, it’s not. I agree it is pretty superficial. And Farmer, just reading your post gave me the willies, so I don’t think I’ll get it cut off. Thanks for the suggestion though. Later all. ---

I’d find it interesting and curious, but not a turnoff. I mean, most people I know have SOMETHING “different” about their bodies. A third nipple is nothing compared to some other anatomical oddities that come to mind… I knew you’d ring in on this one, ricepad 🙂 ---

Is it any more or less useless than the other two? I think I’d be a little curious, but otherwise wouldn’t care, but then, me being a hetero male, it doesn’t much matter what I think. ---

I guess this gives new meaning to the phrase “Sucking hind titty.” ---

Some women have three breasts…they make a bra for that too. ---

My third nipple doesn’t even really look like a nipple…more like a scar or something. Sometimes I tell people it’s a bullet hole or knife wound, just for kicks. And NOBODY with an extra nipple has it where Scaramanga had his…in the middle of his chest? Give me a break… ---
