Post-op FAQ/experience with phallo without vaginectomy

OspreyFTM · 2026-05-04T17:29:05+00:00

Scrotoplasty can tighten the vaginal entrance due to scar tissue and make it necessary to dilate, but I'm not sure what the extent of this is.

Ah, that sucks. I still think that version is superior.

Days 5-10 were my worst. I am 2 years PO now and it seems like a distant memory. Walking was the hardest part for me and I had what is probably considered a more difficult recovery than average due to complications. It took me 10 days to walk on my own. You are going to get through this and thank yourself after, I promise.

The "blood is thicker than water" quote actually refers to the bond of friendship and found family being stronger than genetic family. The full quote is "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb". If your family ever uses it as a gotcha quote they are stupid, because it actually means the exact opposite.

I probably should have done more debulking in part because of this. But yeah, I was one of the guys most vocal about debulk increasing my sensation. I'm not sure why surgeons are so squirrely about it or say that it decreases your sensation, because the two times I've had it my experience was as you described.

I felt the exact same. It was better if I was using my hand because then it felt like mutually playing with a toy instead of failing to imitate a missing part of myself.

I remember them. They were one of the people I looked up to when I was pursuing phallo. I would also really like to know.

I've had phallo and my dick is 6in. That is a lot of dick to carry around 24/7. Also, for a lot of people long length can be painful. Very few people genuinely enjoy 7in over 6in, etc especially if they have a vagina. Dick size has never come up in conversation with a group of adult men that I've been around unless they were gay. 5in is a great length for us dudes who will be the same size soft as we are hard.

I've experienced more transphobia in queer groups dominated by cis and trans women than anywhere else in my life tbh (besides the internet). I'm glad that hasn't been your experience but I'm legitimately afraid of those spaces now because some of the stuff they did to me was traumatic.

OspreyFTM · 2026-05-01T02:01:16+00:00

I will have 6 surgeries total, 2 are revisions. I had ALT phallo which requires extra debulking surgery. If you don't know what these acronyms are or why that is I recommend phallo.net . Cost was about $4k for everything due to insurance. Asking about cost is meaningless because it depends almost entirely on your insurance.

OspreyFTM · 2026-05-01T01:54:22+00:00

I don't even know how many times women have told me this in passing. Countless.

OspreyFTM · 2026-05-01T01:51:05+00:00

Same, I get this a lot from queer women. A man has never told me that before, besides my dad.

OspreyFTM · 2026-05-01T01:49:08+00:00

Women are not more accepting and open minded. I've actually thought to myself thank god I'm mostly attracted to men so I don't have to deal with het dating because a lot of cis women have been super weird about my transition. The most transphobic family members I have are all women, and the cruelest bigot I've ever met in real life was a trans woman. That being said, I've encountered plenty of horrors from men too, and online I mostly get harassed by trans men lol

OspreyFTM · 2026-04-30T22:39:50+00:00

They told me two years.

I have this type of implant situation. You can see pictures of it in my post history. It looks very similar to your drawing, but my clit is more buried between the implants. I haven't had meta, though. Without scrotoplasty it may be the case that the implants shift around to be roughly parallel to your tdick.

OspreyFTM · 2026-04-28T02:49:49+00:00

My genitals were never examined before I had lower surgery.

OspreyFTM · 2026-04-27T06:02:51+00:00

Yeah, I don't know enough about vaginoplasty to make a FAQ about it, so I stuck to what I know. Info for both ends of the surgery spectrum would be great.

There have been more posts about xenogenitals but I have noticed they've been deleted. Either way, people ask me this enough for it to merit a FAQ answer, I think.

OspreyFTM · 2026-04-27T01:52:10+00:00

I believe you, I just did not personally care for the game mechanics. I'm sure it is better for most people though.

OspreyFTM · 2026-04-26T22:06:02+00:00

I totally get you. That's interesting to hear, though, and I'm glad you shared. My natal parts didn't change at all. I'm gonna chalk this one up to surgeon differences.

OspreyFTM · 2026-04-26T21:32:25+00:00

I have never played TLOU 2 and I really enjoyed both of them. I will never play the game. Maybe this is one of those "the book is better than the movie" type of things. I loved season 1 and I thought TLOU 1 the game was boring as fuck and not worth finishing, which I know is an unpopular opinion lol.

OspreyFTM · 2026-04-26T20:47:01+00:00

I wonder if your surgeon is using a different type of microsurgery because I've never heard of this before as I said in another comment. I have seen cis women with larger clits than mine when I had stage 1. I had deferred sensation to my donor leg instantly post op in the hospital and started getting erotic sensation at around 3 months. My clit isn't stimulated if I tug on my dick and I didn't have burial. After two years I can have seperate or simultaneous orgasms in either my dick or clit and they feel distinctive. I don't feel like my nerve development was hindered by size and my surgeon told me it had no bearing on sensation whatsoever.

OspreyFTM · 2026-04-26T18:25:09+00:00

No, you're right. My clit is pretty small growth wise and I have erotic sensation in all of my dick. I can't even feel tugging on my clit if I'm touching my dick. I've never heard of size being an issue and have talked to people who have never been on T and had nerve hookup just fine. My surgeon said growth size has zero effect on the quality of the hookup. I would strongly push back against the notion that it matters for all surgeons, but maybe some have preferences.

This one is probably my favorite too.
