I love this. Certain surgeries absolutely involve some amount of "plumbing", e.g. connecting the blood vessels in a pig heart transplant (I think they even refer to it as plumbing, perhaps informally). And I think it's very accurate to say that plumbers, electricians etc. are to houses as surgeons are to living creatures.

    I got a novel plumbing job from a surgeon!

    I got genital nullification surgery. With My weiner removed, I needed somewhere to pee from. So the meat man plumbed My urethra downwards to around where cis women keep theirs, sans clam. I have what's called a meatus, which is a medical term for an opening on the body. The end of My hose is neither a male nor female socket. It's not a socket at all!

    That awesome.. and/or horrifying. I'm so glad I'm comfortable with the default configuration my body came with, and don't often have to think about stuff like this. But I'm also really glad you seem happy with the results of your, uhhh, renovations!

    Although.. What exactly is a male socket? I've always thought of it as an outlet, nothing goes into it, stuff only flows out.

    Lol, I knew someone would chime in with that. But by design at least, there should be no flow from the outside in. To the extent that we can call evolution's craftsmanship 'design'.

    The only thing I know about that is the scene from House where he catheters himself. To the extent we can trust the show's medical accuracy, his reaction during the insertion, and the number of pain pills he took beforehand, let's just say it seems highly unpleasant!

    i assume its the same as anal, if you shove a huge thing up there its obviously gonna hurt, but if you start small and train bigger and bigger...

    but like, it already sounds unpleasant, i dont even wanna imagine how it feels
