The best information I can find for you is in regards to mothers who have adopted a baby, and are trying to nurse: La Leche League: Adoptive Breastfeeding.
It seems the best method I repeatedly see to induce lactation when not pregnant (from sites for adoptive parents) is to: use a breast pump. I am not sure how motivated you are...but a breast pump would need to be purchased/rented (about $300 or more) and you would need to pump every 2 hours for 15-20 minutes per breast. It is time consuming...not sure how great that is for you and your partner?!
There are medications, called galactogogues, that can help induce milk-production, as well as herbs (none have been proven effective, however). When I was trying to increase my milk supply (after giving birth), I was told the best way is to:
- consistently stimulate nipples (baby is best), or purchase a breast pump
- try an herb, such as fenugreek
- drink lots of liquids...keep hydrated!
- be very well-rested and keep stress at a minimum
I've got to ask...WHY do you and your partner think it would be great to start producing milk?!

my husband loves breast milk
June 11, 2011 - 8:36amPeople with excessively large breasts also produce milk in early life, sometimes after puberty, depending on how big the breasts are. I mean, I'm only 15 and I could produce 2 liters of breast milk per week!
