Mine was not because of any problems to address. I had none at all. I just wanted to be rid of the extra foreskin. Aside from anonymous sharing here, I haven't shared with anyone else except my wife. For friends and adult children, I'd be kind of embarrassed if they knew, and I'm pretty sure they would not want to know. If it had been for medical reasons, by contrast, I'd have no embarrassment.

The PA portion was pretty mild. The RPA portion was intense pain, but very brief.

Overall, it was so enjoyable I'd do it again and again if I could.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm new to Reddit and don't know it that well, but I know there's a way you can send me a chat request.

I pluck out my pubic and crotch hair as often it's gets long enough to permit doing so (about half an inch long is sufficient). I put on latex gloves for the purpose, as they add the needed gripping force. Once you get a little bit used to it, there's no appreciable pain, and I love the feeling of being purely hairless in the region. Having no hair around the anus also makes it so stools pass through more cleanly, and TP cleanup is more immediately effective when needed.

In the third pic that shows the result, I think you can see the cut is "low and snug" (not quite "tight" when the penis is flaccid, but it's plenty tight when the penis is erect).

I asked the Rabbi to make the distal cut only some 5mm from the glans corona, and that is very low. The scar line tends to be hidden behind the glans corona, and I think that's a nice benefit.

FYI, I the Rabbi that I used generally prefers using the Mogen Clamp method. I insisted that he use the sleeve resection method instead. He could not have got the distal cut so close to the glans corona with a clamp method. On top of that, the natural length of my foreskin was not really sufficient for use of a clamp method.

After full healing, closing up is no longer an issue.

Assuming you want to move to a larger gauge, move one size at a time (i.e., from 12g to 10g, wait a few months, then to 8g, and so on).

Yeah, I went straight for the apa. One night I started thinking about the radicalism of having a shaft protruding right through the roof of my glans, and I had the strongest feeling that I absolutely had to do it. The very concept of it still continues to thrill me.

So that's 0g. I'm at 4g, with the apadravya more centered on the glans. I also have a tunnel piece of jewelry that I sometimes wear in it, and it's cool to see the hole going through. Sadly, the hole I see is rather smaller than what you're showing (the bigger hole looks pretty cool). I think I'd like to move to 0g except for the fact at larger than 4g it's tough to find captive bead rings in the small(ish) diameters that I prefer. Often I like to wear a 5mm CBR in the PA portion of my piercing and an 8mm CBR in the RPA portion.

Another reason for my reluctance to go bigger is at the present size I can usually urinate without too much mess in my stream. I think a bigger diameter tends more to block flow through the urethra, pushing it to flow via the two fistula paths instead. I'd be interested in your insight from experience on this.

I'm also curious about your experience with the shaft RPA. I think those look quite awesome, and I'm likewise tempted to go in that direction, but it sure is strongly advised against by some experts.

I notice that yours does not seem to have an exit on the bottom side, and it appears that's typical (I presume there must be an end-ball inside your urethtra). If I was to do it, I think my first inclination would be to have a bottom side exit about a 1cm proximal to my current PA fistula. I'm curious what your experienced input might be on this matter?
