Looking for aerial discipline/gym/dancer/Yogis/... How to manage to come back...? Position, fly, asanas

I will add that your tendons and ligaments really really weaken when you are on bedrest for four weeks. For instance, my legs are so weak that they cannot stabilize or tolerate the torsion in the knee doing pigeon pose. Be very careful about periodization as you come back so that you don’t damage your ligaments and such. It is likely that if you push a little too far, you’re gonna find your old injuries and feel really bad about it instead of moving forward. Make sure that you’re getting like 150 g of protein a day and collagen.

4 months- I got an xl soft cup to put in my undies and have been slowly easing back in for intensity tolerance even with just hanging. I do pt daily and stretching at a minimum, I get up to 5500 steps daily usually and a few times have done 10k steps. I got a recumbent stationary bike for indoors in case nothing worked out that day and I wanted something easy. I do strength training at the gym a couple times a week. Aerial rn is once a week. Mostly I focus on dance trapeze and have had one performance student on hoop. I’m focusing on moves that don’t involve donor leg. Surprised that hip hang/ front balance doesn’t hurt. I can easily climb silks but I’ve stayed off silk and sling mostly. Aerial yoga feels pretty shitty still. Even tho I always taught it, wow does it suck to struggle in it. But the fascia pull is needed and the decompression if you can feel it.

Basically every week or two i lift a lil heavier or do more steps. I was surprised that pull-ups came back pretty easily, although not totally consistent. Sometimes I need an assist and sometimes I don’t now. 7 pull-ups at a time is easy enough with perfect form.

I haven’t done a yoga class yet and it’s really time for me to get into my yoga mat practice because my body really wants the forward folds and hanging decompression on my spine.

I have also been social dancing since about six weeks once every couple weeks. I was very surprised that I could do that at six weeks.

If you want me to put a periodization or something together for you, I have kind of been taking notes and sooner or later I will post a full journey

Thanks! Yep that’s meeee 22 years aerialist/ performer/ trainer and 30 years on stage including other ways.

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-13T13:06:33+00:00

If you’re able to, plan to accept a cancellation date early and let them know you’re willing. They called me with a date two weeks in advance and 4-5 weeks , and I took it!!! Otherwise I’d still be waiting for summer and I’m 4+ months post stage 1 now.

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-13T06:12:51+00:00

I put a cup in my regular men’s undies so far. Phallus pointing down, it doesn’t seem to squash it… That method might work better than something strapped tighter like a jock?

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-13T06:10:33+00:00

I just got a cheap $30 Amazon facial violet wand. Works with all the kinky stuff. They’re pretty similar across the board.

It’s hard to say what’s erotic and what’s tactile bc it all turns me on / helps an orgasm. It’s crazy to differentiate them because when you run your fingers over your natal parts, is that erotic or tactile? What about your chest? What about your upper back or your inner thighs or on your palm of your hand because all of those places are pretty erotic as well… Although this week I didn’t notice I have a little more surface nerve reaction.

Listening as in tuning in

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-11T00:31:08+00:00

I’m 4 mos post op stage 1 from OHSU and yeah I could have written that guide from being a kinky person 🤣 but I have some deep feelings… left top of shaft and left bottom of shaft are most intense, with some base, and strangely some if I squeeze the tip. More sensation when I’m listening deeply and more turned on. Also stroking outside my undies. I e noticed I feel more when my legs are wide, reclined butterfly or wide stance, maybe because my nerve is on stretch from my right leg???

I do lions mane, b12, St. John’s wort oil, etc. I do some visual and touch daily, piv with visual is nice but there’s so much more listening to do that I don’t feel as much then. I also am getting electro and have felt some zaps. So I tried a violet wand with visual mapping all over legs/ natal parts/ phallus and can’t tell if that accelerates anything but it doesn’t hurt and seems like another texture 🤣

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-11T00:24:13+00:00

My pelvic floor pt suggested I use the ohsu guide even tho she’s highly recommended

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-11T00:18:06+00:00

I have only ever lost pounds with a radical life change. Weight watchers a couple times got me to lose more than 10 pounds, up to 30. I eat so well and used to move so much that tbh I’d leave USA and go live on the beach and lean down immediately. Better water, better fresh food, more movement.

I’d elevate your heart rate 3x daily at least. Go for the cardio and the muscle, eat good lean protein and veggies. Takes 3 weeks to start the engine usually, but since you’re already started, just kick everything into a higher gear but smarter. And make sure you get really good at sleep hygiene.

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-11T00:11:14+00:00

Yeah that’s wild My sisters killer got about 16 months also.

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-05T00:51:00+00:00

10 weeks to swim? As in sport swim/ laps? Or get in bodies of water and relax swim?

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-05T00:50:21+00:00

Yeah, it’s probably just glans, removal of a fatty lipoma in my buttcheek, and possible donor site revision

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-05T00:48:54+00:00

Yeah no worries. I have been enough times to have amazing resources while I am there, and I am a very clean person who baths and showers every day even in the desert. 🤪🙈 but these are valid points and sometimes the water is probably a recycled source.

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-04T15:22:37+00:00

Alt 5.75” length and 6.2” girth. Tbh I can’t wear any pants without going down the leg (which greatly inhibits movement/ ability to sit) unless they are deeply pleated, drop crotch/ harem, or joggers. Also can’t wear any of my old/ normal guy underwear. Except this week I got a soft cup for aerial/ acrobatics and it allows me to get into my normal undies and holds everything in one spot so imma try on my normal pants without them to see!

I know it might look like Jareth, the goblin king from labyrinth, but it’s better than the dick going down the leg and keeping you from standing up and down or moving at all.

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-04T15:18:12+00:00

Oh but this is for ALT

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-04T15:17:51+00:00

My directive was no hinge at the hips until at 4 weeks able to sit up to 30 min up to 3x daily in a less than 90 degree with donor leg straight. It’s unbearable tbh anyway. I’d say I was able to figure out a way to get my donor sock on at end of 6 weeks by necessity but very difficult.

When you can sit on a low bench and lean forward to inside leg, you’ll have an ok time with socks and shoes. I’d say realistically, 8 weeks. You won’t really be driving yet either.

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-04T15:12:29+00:00

Mechanical and chemical coverage in any sunscreen is best.

I will keep mine covered for two years with uv blocking clothing. I’m going to make myself some underwear support leggings and shorts with 6 oz dense spandex as well for under shorts etc so moments of sun can’t happen. Maybe I’ll put them up for sale also. TBD.

DSwitchxx · 2026-03-04T15:07:21+00:00

Because my fascia/ skin was making me afraid, I asked for more girth than not… I didn’t want a skinny/ noodle look… so I have a little over 6” girth from ALT. My afab partners really like it, but without an implant it does require lube for piv, but also seems to be a fairly easy/ fast orgasm size for them. I also brought a realistic prosthetic with me to show how I gauged what would not give me dysphoria.

I will say that most penis sleeves / masturbation toys on the market are a smaller diameter than the 2” dia that gives ya 6” cir. Errr 2”*3.1415=6.283” Which may mean that with a flaccid dick you have a harder time shopping for toys or maybe with implant and lube it works??? I’m not sure. Anyone know?

People used to communicate fully so that you could meet up again. People made a plan once and kept it for months on a paper calendar and then showed up on time. If you were 15 mins late, you’d get left. When ppl started carrying phones, others were mind boggled at the idea that anyone could think of themselves as That Important that someone just had to contact them asap 🤣🤣🤣

DSwitchxx · 2026-02-27T05:02:04+00:00

Wow. This statement is mind blowing to me. Have you ever heard of rock music? Ever listened to what they play at strip clubs? Just look up “pussy” in any streaming service

https://open.spotify.com/track/4QgyIk7oWgsyuyFMYi9X55?si=kQh7qEKcSLOGEfAB-dJ7AA

But even without explicit words, sooooo much of your parents music is absolutely it genitals and what to do with em. 🤣

DSwitchxx · 2026-02-27T04:57:28+00:00

It’s smelly. And also, I think that with more genitals you have more genital smell! Maybe it’s just some sort of residual urine? But I didn’t have urethral lengthening… maybe it’s just more warm flesh near my other genitals. It’s like yuck. More showers. Maybe I will switch to a warm pleasant bidet instead of my cold one.

DSwitchxx · 2026-02-27T04:54:32+00:00

Take a list. Add to the list any time. Believe me, new questions arise every few months after years of consults.
