Threaded Tapers

Hi guys,
I've seen pictures of threaded tapers being machined on lathes and was
wondering what the hell use they are? I mean, since the diameter of
the threaded section is constantly varying, what can it possibly be
screwed into? I cannot imagine any nut or internal thread that would
accommodate such a piece of work.
Kindly disabuse me of my ignorance if you can, thanks.
P.
Pipe threads are tapered... It makes it more likely to seal when tight.
