Cutting Off Male Flowers


Okay folks, question of the day:
 
I have heard that you are supposed to cut the male flowers off after the
pumpkins set, and I have done that, but I have no idea as to why I am
doing that. Do the male flowers take a lot of nutrients from the
pumpkins?
 
Many Thanks!
 
Matt, the inquisitive.
