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).

A male socket would be
Ohh... I was still thinking of human biology :P
Does yours not look like that?
