Actually when I was breastfeeding I was very active in La Leche League which is a worldwide organization that promotes and helps moms with nursing and there I met an adoptive mother who was breastfeeding her baby. She had her glands activated with some medication and was stimulating her breasts with massage to bring on the milk.
We were all wow-ed with this and then we got on talking about men who nurse their kids - actually there are cases of dads who develop breasts and start producing sufficient (and perfectly good) milk to nurse their kids.
Don´t ask me how it´s done, but it does work. Which goes to show that male and female breasts are basically the same thing, only in the case of females it is more developed. So yeah, that explains why nbe works for men as well I think.
