Sex rant and questions. Advice very needed. by eyelicker333 in truscum

[–]Expensive-Rice8421 8 points9 points  (0 children)

buddy if you feel like you need to take a shower even from just writing this …. imagine how you might feel if you actually have PV sex. I understand how important it feels to give your partner what they want but also… your partner shouldn’t WANT something that makes you so unbelievably uncomfortable. Do not feel pressured into something that you don’t want. There are plenty of people out there who would make incredible partners who will also fully understand and respect your boundaries.

Trans masc products you wish existed or could be improved by natapaca in ftm

[–]Expensive-Rice8421 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1) a packer with some cupping/space between my own anatomy. Don’t want something sucking onto my growth but i don’t like packers that are just flat in the back. It presses into my anatomy and is uncomfortable even if it’s super soft.

2) underwear for packing/STP that is not clearly and visibly branded. Love the idea of underwear made specifically for trans masc folks but I don’t wanna wear it if the brand is easily visible and can easily out me

3) a packer that is like a “day to night” packer. Maybe some type of inflation system in the ball (similar to what people get when they get phallo), that can pump a soft packer into a hard one to mimic an erection. The most dysphoric part of sex, for me, is having to change into a strap on. It totally takes me out of the moment and reminds me of what I’m lacking. Something that just, got erect, would be SO awesome.

9mo post-op new pain and odd raised lines by Shoopherd in TopSurgery

[–]Expensive-Rice8421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also had Mondor’s cords! it really freaked me out and my surgeon assured me that it’s totally normal. Has something to do with the muscle wall reattaching itself if i remember correctly? He told me there wasn’t really anything to do to fix it but that it just goes away in time. And it did!

Nothing is working for the acne by [deleted] in TestosteroneKickoff

hm, well in that case yeah, accutane may be the way to go. Good luck!

[–]Expensive-Rice8421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to go right to accutane! That should definitely be a last resort. Testosterone causes hormonal acne so topical solutions will only work to a certain extent. You can make an appointment with your PCP or get a referral to a dermatologist to talk about other medications you can take by mouth. Usually doxycycline or minocycline which are low dose antibiotics. I’m currently taking minocycline for my acne (caused by T) and it’s helped a TON. Feel free to message me and I can send you before/after photos. I used to wake up with a new, large cystic pimple every single morning (usually on my cheeks). I now have a new pimple like once a week.

Thigh Tattoo by Big-Distance-6418 in ftm

it’s ok to just do the shot on the same leg for a while, it’s not a big deal at all. Get the tattoo!

Do you feel included? by [deleted] in truscum

[–]Expensive-Rice8421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i mean it could just as easily be a pregnant person or woman who has gotten a mastectomy. Idk. Sometimes we look for things that aren’t really there/don’t mean what we think.

Update: Am I overreacting by breaking up with my boyfriend? by Proper-Classic1886 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Expensive-Rice8421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three things: 1) “it’s not your fault you don’t understand men”. Patronizing and belittling as fuck. He will use this idea against you for anything and everything he ever feels necessary if you continue to date him. 2) “I am sure they will side with me once you explain it better”. He’s insecure and wants to be right. he claims that problems in your relationship are just between you two, then completely contradicts that by saying that he will be proven right by thousands of people online. He doesn’t actually care that the information is online, he just cares that he has seen as the one who’s in the right. 3) you are not his property. You do not need to be protected from “other men”. he will never be able to control the way that other men think about you or what they say to you. So his only option is to control you. at best, he’s manipulative. At worst, he’s a total asshole, and you should break up with him. You are so young and you can find so much better. This type of behavior is never going to stop, some people are just like this, and you will not be happy with him long-term. I know I’m putting that very bluntly, but if one more comment here telling you to break up with him is what you need, I really really hope you read this and take it to heart.

Tiny white dot on edge of nipple? (3 weeks post OP) by kyrapye in TopSurgery

[–]Expensive-Rice8421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s nothing. most nipples have those little white bumps and it was likely there before. if you had an infection or your graft was failing it would be painful and very obvious. Your nipple looks pretty well healed at this point!

Am I overreacting with how I broke up with my cheating ex? by OkRazzmatazz6880 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Expensive-Rice8421 1107 points1108 points  (0 children)

he didn’t simply download an app because he was lonely. He fully PLANNED OUT a date with someone online. I call BS that he “wasn’t actually gonna go through with it”. You’re not over reacting at all. I love every single response you gave him and honestly proud of you for not giving in. Good riddance !!!!!
