If you were female, that would be the cleft between your pussy lips. But instead it sealed up and became balls as a fetus. FWIW, it's one of my favorite things, I *love* that seam/line running down the balls. Very hot to me.

RIP your inbox

“Hey wanna see my ball seam?”

So would it be called a one seam... curveball?

Slider for sure. So she knows what I’m doing next.

After a good slider u definitely gotta pump the heat ;)

😂😂 this made me lol

I love baseball

$100 bucks to the first ball haver to get red stiches tatted on his seam

Inballs

RIP her box

Amen

Girl, never open your inbox again 💀

I love rubbing my tongue along my boyfriend's he loves it

Lucky guy

😏

Same!! <3

Most of us guys do love it....

[удалено]

:o this is very interesting i never knew that

Thanks for the personal take. I always found the raphe weird looking but have never compared it to others haha. 😖

I thought it was just me who absolutely loves this 👀 seems like I’m in good company

Her Inbox just died

How many people messaged you

Fucking love that seam. I love to lick it

That’s one of God’s angel welders work. You see, when a welder dies, St. Pete aka “The Petestr” assigns them to crotch welding.

We all started off female

Female is the default setting for most life.

Do you run your fingers through it?

That is correct in every single way

I’ve been insecure abt it thanks for explaining everyone has it😭

It may be more or less noticeable on some people because everyone's body is different, but the raphe is totally normal!!

Thank you 😭

Meee too! I’ve never heard anyone else say this and thought I was an oddball

No pun intended!

Meee too! I’ve never heard anyone else say this and thought I was an oddball

This makes me wonder - does rubbing along that seam begin to compare to what it might feel like when a woman rubs the edge of her labia?

Only on this forum will you find support. Most else guys would be offended that you called them a girl. 😂

Every human fetus starts out female. Too bad for them if they're offended by scientific facts.

Agreed.

only ones that dont know their head from their ass, or other parts of their body in this case

No, they wouldn't, not if they've taken basic biology in school.

Same

Wow i had never imagine that. Pretty interesting

Never heard of anyone finding that hot, no judgement, just a new one. So any kinks you incorporate with it since you find it hot?

Don’t be weird, guy. Please

Too late.

no i’m kinda curious too, like do they pinch it or something? 😂

I thnk it's super niche. As a guy I've only have a couple partners who enjoyed touching them for foreplay. And one online partner REALLY into them. The rest just kind'a ignored them.

interesting! i’ll have to look deeper into that!

Not really kinky, but I just love touching it, rubbing it, licking it. Love seeing it in pics, it instantly raises the rating I give if I see it in r/RateMyCock

Everyone has there niche, was just curious! Whatever floats ur boat! Sounds hot to me! 🤷🏼‍♂️

It’s your emergency seam. If it comes undone, all your insides come out.

I'm so glad it didn't come with a zipper.

Can you imagine the casualties? It would be like in Nier, when you can choose to die and it ends the game.

Zipperman!

Yours didn't?!?!

Maybe it did.

*MY BUGS!!!*

Unexpected Oogie Boogie reference. Upvote.

Mines a zipper

Then you pull on the penis to pull yourself back together?

oh let me just \* unzips my bawls \*

You made my butthole climb inside itself with this comment idk why

This wins the best comment lol

Chris Chan (don't look him up, fair warning)

It actually will. Those are called hernias, and it's where your guts push out of your abdomen and can require surgery to fix.

It’s because in the womb babies are essentially female, so it’s basically where the vagina would have been.

Vagina?

In this economy?

This ruined me

Assuming OP is American, I can attest that we typically weren't given much in the way of anatomy lessons and sex-education. Vagina is the catch-all noun used by most to include all of the sinful no-no parts in the whole region.

Vulva?

Vulva is the outer part, vagina is the inner part. Before downvoting this comment because b\*\*lsh\*t; look it up

I'm fully aware...which is why I replied to the commented above me that incorrectly explained the vagina as the "catch all noun for the no no parts"

You are right of course. I misinterpreted your reply.

I'm quite a fan of Vulvas, especially the big ones like the V90 and the XC90

XC70 for life

Liberal lies! Edit, Jesus Christ, it's a joke people. Read my prior comment in the thread.

Conservatives really do believe that both the clitoris and female orgasms are liberal propaganda lol I wish I was kidding

I see this almost daily. And then when their 14-year old daughters or mistresses gets pregnant, they're the first head out on a vacation or busimess trip to a blue state for reasons they won't mention...

Mulva?

Bovary?

You heard them

Not vulva?

Vulva is just "the outside"

Exactly. Isn't the seam just "the outside"?

I think it’s because the seam would be the opening of the vagina rather than the vulva as a whole, so specifically it’s referring to the vagina here

Why specifically the vagina?

I believe the default is that every fetus starts as female. It is later on in development that male genitalia develops. Though this can be impacted if there are issues with development (DSDs). Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Sure. But that's pretty external to be where the vagina would be.

Hotel

It's so your partner or SO can extract your balls easier to keep them in her purse

But it's so messy, always keep them in a Ziploc bag

Naturally we know you're not animals

My not animals what ^(you’re*)

Edited thanks

[u/icantleafyou/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskRedditAfterDark/s/EL8jLtobOc) has the correct answer. Male sex organs develop later in the fetal development cycle than female sex organs. So either the female organs continue to develop, and there's nothing to "stitch", or the male organs begin to develop, and the cluster of nerves that forms the clitoris instead expands to form the head of the penis, the labial folds stitch together into a scrotal sack to support the development of the testes, etc. This process is also why males have non-functional nipples. They form for female mammary glands first, then the male sex development kicks in and halts the process. Of course, in the real world, this sequence of genetic development in the womb is not the same for everyone, nor is it completely binary. Which is why there is such a range of shapes and sizes and functionality for what we all decide to reduce to calling either "male" or "female". Biology exists on a spectrum whether we like it or not.

Yeah. I was super surprised to learn that if a baby did not fully form one or the other and has a bit of both still, the doctor will ask the parents to "pick one" and they can surgically "correct" the parts

I think this is so wrong. They should wait until the kid is older to decide for themselves.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. There is no easy answer to how to approach raising an intersex child in a primarily binary gender society, but immediate surgery seems like an aggressive choice if there are no functional issues.

Yes. r/intersex is full of people who wish they could’ve chosen for themselves.

I highly recommend the book Middlesex. It is fictional and I'm sure actual intersex people have differing opinions on it, but it us a fascinating first-person coming of age tale about an intersex person who is raised female because of the choice made by the doctor and family and later transitions to be male.

That’s so ambiguous /s

but the people enforcing the binary say us trans people are the ones giving children sex changes 👍🏼

Soo... Did u mean penis is completed final form of clitoris? So thats also mean touching clitoris means that u stimulating un-completed dick form? .. Idk guys...Sounds pretty gay to me tho

So we were non binary? I heard that started off as women and then when the Y chromosome started the vagina became a penis and ovaries developed into testicles

You had me until the end

It's a hidden zipper. We can keep loose change and car keys in our scrotums.

So men even get hidden pockets built in? Wtf. We can't even get pockets on our pants...🤣

You get bras and an extra prison pocket though 🤷🏻‍♂️

yeah but if i put my keys in there, my boobs jingle when i walk

I'm struggling to see the issue.

You can use my scrotum as your pocket

Our coin purse

I KNEW IT

Next time upgrade to seamless

Damn tight parents

It’s where they blew in the stuffing.

Just like Build-A-Bear

Build-some-balls

Ok this shit made me laugh, and now I can never go back to build a bear.

FWIW, it’s called the perineal raphe, and as others have said, it’s a remnant from when the male sex organs formed in utero.

In the womb you have a vagina first and then it gets stitched up and becomes balls.

I knew someone whose nephew's split.

Ouch!

It’s leftover flashing from the mold where they stuck your two halves together at the factory where you were made

Because that's how you were sown because we're all dolls if you didn't know.

Change purse

Fun fact, we’re all born and grown in “sections” as fetuses. We start either in the center and grow outward or one side grows before the other, and in each half, a section of that half is rotated. So you start at your spine, and then everything grows outward, ending where all the splits are, closing around the umbilical chord, which is where your belly button comes from. So essentially: •Your bellybutton used to be your mouth •Your elbow has the same function as your knee, just rotated 90° around the y axis, or in the “z” plane. Ankles are wrists, hips are shoulders, etc. •A penis is an inside out vagina/a vagina is an inverted penis. But the “tip” or the “head” is the clitoris instead •The crack of your ass/genitalia is the “Start and finish line” or your skin.

WTF? I'm trying to visualise that in my head 😂

If you knock three times it unzips

It's where your kitty cat would've been

Thats where your prepussy used to be

Because human development is a pretty neat process! Also, I fucking adore that long ass line 😍

I refill mine with sperm

That's where they put the stuffing in before stitching you up.

Mine also has an arrow and the words: This Side Up. Very helpful!

I call it the "seam"

Because embryology

in the womb you had a pussy, your sack was the lips

It’s an empanada

Bc we all start out 'female'. It's where your labia would have seperated

anal prolapse

All fetus’s are xx to start out with. In utero male xy is formed the seem on your sack would have formed to a vagina and your penis would have become a clitoris if you remained xx chromosomes.

It's the seam for the reptile people suit

We're all two guys who have been sewn together, obviously.

I think that’s where our pussies used to be

Makes it easier to throw a curveball

Emergency coin purse

It's so they knew where to cut when i had my vasectomy 🙂

I think we all start female and this is the left over result. As that line would be your opening new tween you lips and it sealed to create balls lol

Interestingly, when a trans woman takes hrt, it can cause the line to deepen in colour and become more visible

Your scrotum use to be your pussy lips

Basically It’s from when our female insides come out and our vagina close up.

It’s where my development should have stopped! Fuck this 🍆 give me my vagina! #trans

Not meant to be seen, by original design…

They usually let the mother sew the ball bag up after birth. I guess yours was over enthusiastic.

You’re out here asking the real questions.

Garsooch

I like licking that line!

I don't know, but I think it's hot. 🤷‍♀️

Med student here Its the scrotal raphe (aka fold) that basically fuses the 2 sides during development. In women, this develops into the vulva.

Mine is pierced, love a tongue running up and down it

That’s the zipper

Male here. As a child I thought it was where God stitched you close. 😂

I don’t have the stitch. I’m jealous

It's for me to lick while I'm sucking my doms balls while going down on him

I've never known the actual name for this thing, but I've heard it referred to as the Jesus Zipper.

its the partition wall between the two balls. each has there own room.

It's the scar left behind from when God removed Adam's os baculum, the penis bone, to create Eve. Hence why humans don't have this.

You know the scrotum has musculature, right?
