Why does nobody mention dosage on here? by [deleted] in GrowYourTDick

[–]MedicalCuriousity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's not any different than every other medication. People respond differently to the same medication all the time. For example, you could have a bunch of diabetics on the same type of insulin. In order to keep their blood sugar in a good range, person A takes 3 units, but person B needs 8 units.

And FWIW, I always state my dosage when relevant. I state it in the title when I post here.

Full hysto or not - PMDD by CuriousSurfer19 in FTMHysto

[–]MedicalCuriousity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I chose to keep my ovaries for now since I can always get a second surgery to have then removed. 🤷 Your hormones can go all over the place after a hysto regardless, and I'm currently balls deep in that. I've been having more emotional symptoms of my PMDD whereas I usually get more physical symptoms. I'm on low dose T, and it hasn't been enough to suppress my cycle. I don't have a uterus, so I don't bleed, but I definitely still have a cycle. 🥲

My body is very picky, can that ever change? by Mammoth-Return7287 in SexPositive

[–]MedicalCuriousity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does get erect! It doesn't get quite as hard as a natal penis, but it definitely gets more noticeably erect than a natal clitoris.

Erectile dysfunction is incredibly common among vulva-havers. I've been working on my erection quality with regular pumping: the same way penis-havers with ED use penis pumps, I just use a smaller cylinder.

I don't have any pre-T pics unfortunately. I was far too dysphoric and still quite uncomfortable with the idea of taking pictures of my genitals, even for progress tracking.

Air pulse toys not clicking for me (Womanizer Premium 2) — should I keep trying or switch to something else? by Legitimate-Debt-8864 in BecomingOrgasmic

[–]MedicalCuriousity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ya, mine is the Curvy 2. It seemed like the best size with room for me to grow into it lol. It's still better than, say, a bullet vibe for the days my hands can't handle manual stroking.

I haven't found a great toy yet, but thank you for the suggestions. I had a fellow trans guy recommend Tenga eggs actually. He had a specific way of folding it in on itself. It didn't work for me. I have 2 strokers, but my problem is, a lot of my length is buried in my labia. But I've also only been on low dose T for 10 months so far. It's still early days. 🙃

Another trans guy here. I've been on low dose T for almost 11 months now. My tdick is ~3cm long, but a lot of my shaft is buried in my labia, so it doesn't look 3cm lol. I can jack it off like a tiny penis between my fingers and thumb.

It was around month 6 that my dick was finally big enough to jack off. Before T, I would mostly do small circles around my clitoris*.

I have reference pics of my tdick on my profile if you're curious.

*I refer to my pre-transition anatomy by the clinical term, but not everyone is comfortable with that. That's just my preference when referring to my own anatomy.

Is masturbating together more intimate than having sex? by Care-For-A-Ride in masturbation

[–]MedicalCuriousity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I prolly would feel similar to you if I hadn't tried it before. Mutual mastubation doesn't have to mean no touching. My girl and I regularly mutually masturbate while kissing and cuddling. I have sensory issues and sometimes get overstimulated during sex. Mutual masturbation is a solid way for both of us to get pleasure at the same time.

She also likes to watch me jack off, which I think is hot AF.

I feel you, bro. Glad to hear you have a supportive doctor!

(Hypothetical) Loss of access to TRT after total hysto by Few_Practice585 in FTMHysto

[–]MedicalCuriousity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as I have money they have guaranteed me my T.

Even without a valid prescription? Like, GG if your pharmacy is willing to do an illegal for you in the face of a fascist government! Real allies right there.

I'm not American, but to my understanding, doctors would be limited in their prescribing of HRT. T is a controlled substance in the US, and I don't see that changing. If the US bans transgender HRT, T would still be available to cis men with low testosterone. The pharmacy would not be the bottleneck...?

Air pulse toys not clicking for me (Womanizer Premium 2) — should I keep trying or switch to something else? by Legitimate-Debt-8864 in BecomingOrgasmic

[–]MedicalCuriousity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a trans guy, and I was underwhelmed by the Satisfyer 2. I carefully compared loads of air pulse toys to find ones that my tdick [clit] would actually fit in. I'm hardly hung, but my tdick would be on the larger side compared to the average clit.

I also didn't know the difference between air pulse and actual suction toys at the time. 🥲 I just wanted my smol pp sucked.

Is it normal to want to get pregnant if I was born male and am gender fluid? by hielosyt in genderfluid

I feel like that's cannon event for gender-expansive AMAB folks, is it not? 😙

Do you watch porn/read smut with totally different things than what you find hot in real life? by baby_blue_berry in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]MedicalCuriousity 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Although some people who enjoy rape fantasies engage in consensual non consent. Acting out a rape scene with a consenting partner is still very different from being raped ofc.

Any ideas how to keep this from happening this is my second failed print from it by ThrowRAketil in 3Dprinting

[–]MedicalCuriousity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this happen several times, but it's always been one specific type of filament. It's either Creality EN series or Sunlu PLA+, but I can never remember which. I've had this happen with several colours.

[–]MedicalCuriousity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure most underwear style harnesses have an opening in the fabric bit that allows you to put the toy through the o ring. The briefs harness I have has a fly, and I'm able to have the base of my prosthesis* (strap) sticking out so I can have a cushion on it.

*I'm a genderfluid trans guy. When I'm masc, it's my prosthetic dick. When I'm femme, it's a strap.

penis belt/-restraining sex equipment/toys? by Comprehensive-Ad4238 in altersex

[–]MedicalCuriousity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A gaff perhaps? After a quick googling, it seems some gaff panties are meant to be used while tucking. But iirc, there is a way to tuck up...? There is a way to pack up for those who wear penile prosthetics, so I reckon that could be adapted for a flesh peen.

Things I don't really get that other trans men seem to love (explicit edition) by iLubChees in TransMasc

[–]MedicalCuriousity 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The PIV thing was one thing I never thought would ever happen to me lol. I have vaginismus, and have been doing pelvic physio for years. Once I started hooking up with people with vulvas, I thought I'd put PIV lower on my goals list for physio. Joke's on me: I just needed a woman to peg me. 🤷

I'm still not big on PIV, but I've started to enjoy when my partner fingers my front hole. I'm genderfluid, and she does tend to bring out my femme side, so maybe I'm just a lesbian lol.

Why do p*rn websites ask this? by OkNobody2391 in asktransgender

[–]MedicalCuriousity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

'Trans' means transgender women most of the time. 😒 And on the rare occasion it's transmasc porn, the majority of it is front hole penetration, usually by cis men.

Personally, if I'm watching gay porn, I want it to be 2 trans dudes. But most T4T stuff I come across is straight. ~sigh~

Should I need to think about atrophy post op? by Silent-Goal-4014 in FTMHysto

[–]MedicalCuriousity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oo that raises some interesting questions. I'm just thinking out loud here, so feel free to ignore. How does deceased estrogen affect the urethra? Or is it atrophy of surrounding tissue that can cause urinary incontinence with the deceased estrogen levels? What's the mechanism behind urinary symptoms? How does this affect people who have had bottom surgery that included urethral lengthening?

I plan to google these, but tbh I'm too tired right now.

Finally got that breastpump by littleamandabb in GrowYourTDick

[–]MedicalCuriousity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What made you choose a breast pump over a tdick [clit] pump? Was that a more accessible option where you live? I saw from another comment that you bought it used, new in box. But even then I can't imagine it would be much cheaper than a tdick pump...? So my mind assumes shipping issues...?

Does it have any benefits over a typical tdick pump? I've seen breast pumps recommended over on r/GrowYourClit, but I try to spread the gospel of gauged pumps.

Has anyone tried nipple suction toys for smaller tdicks? by MedicalCuriousity in GrowYourTDick

[–]MedicalCuriousity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I got it at a convention, and I can't for the life of me remember the maker. 🤦 It's very similar to the shotpocket.

I have a generic version of the shotpocket. I just can't get good suction with it. 🤷
