I’ve noticed that when I scratch in my belly button, I feel sort of a “line of pain” not really painful go through my stomack down to my penis, it feels really wierd. Does this happen to you, is there some connection between the two?
Are you an innie or outie? I’m an innie.

I don’t have a penis, but I think I know the feeling you’re talking about. It’s almost like a ’zing’ right down the line.
Why so many belly button questions today?!?
I was going to say the same as @augustlan. I suspect there is a common nerve that when touched, there is a referred pain. I’m also an innie.
err this doesn’t happen to me
I feel that too but I am a female and as such have no penis. Your belly button is where you used to get your food in through a umbilical cord. When the outer cord came off at birth the inner part still remains. probably why there is a ‘line’ of pain.
So that’s how babby is formed!
Lol. Who did NOT scratch their belly button just now?
I thought you were a girl
@oratio ROFL! I didn’t! But I DID think about it! It’s a good thing I didn’t have water in my mouth when I read your response!
Yes, it’s called the “happy trail.”
Yes, I feel that. I also considered this when responding to Dominic’s question but thought it better not to mention it. Thanks for being direct for the rest of us.
Also an innie.
If there was a connection between the belly button and the penis, then you would be able to press the belly button and the penis would spring up.
Innie, and I was about to LOL @ the thought that they could possibly be connected and was about to submit my answer when I decided to scratch my bellybutton and try it, and i felt it….
I don’t have a peen or feel any sort of pain, but it just tickles me there.
Oh and, what’s an “innie” or “outie”??
oh, sorry. Thought you meant the plumbing
@pdworkin My penis is upstairs sleeping… on my husband’s body. ;-)
Oh, and I’m an innie.
I’m an innie as well.
I thought it had to do with something sexually related since the word “penis” was involved.
I don’t feel any connection at all, my belly button must be broken. my penis still works, or it did a couple of days ago.
@Tink1113 it’s wether your belly button sticks out or not.
In=Innie, Out=Outie
@avvooooooo relatively sure, I’ve had some troubles lately. I may need first aid. ];^P
I thought outie was just for babies…
@Tink1113 Some people end up with outties forever.
@Tink1113 Yeah, for some! I think its just the sign of a sloppy doctor.
Then again, women get outties when they get hugely pregnant, so girls get a chance to be an outtie for a while!
@Tink1113 LOL! I don’t know how, but I bet there’s some kind of collagen injection or something that could plump it up… The procedures out there go the other way around.
(poor doctor. it’s just genetic.)
@pdworkin There is no evidence to support a theory of genetic outiness.
@XOIIO Psst, it’s stomach without the “k”
@avvooooooo I think it’s for the best if I limit my interaction with you on Fluther.
@Tink1113 thanks.
to the mod who reads this, can I get a chance to edit that? Thanks in advance
@pdworkin I don’t know about you, but I’m capable of being an adult. I don’t have to make a statement about how I can’t be bothered to get along or have a public conversation.
If you say something, please be prepared to back it up. You posted that outies were genetic. If you have some information on that, please feel free to post it. Until then, I will continue to consider everything I’ve ever heard (and the Google results denying a genetic cause) that says that doctors are not maligned when blamed for an outie past young childhood. If you don’t have anything to back it up, just say so. Please don’t try and make it about me when its not.
What makes it about you is your animus.
