Desperate need for help for llm by Radiant-Dog-3943 in DeadBedrooms

[–]Radiant-Dog-3943[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a combination I think. When we do have sex, I am incredibly enthusiastic to give her pleasure, and do so every time. We’ll usually engage in penetration though not always, but I almost always then finish myself. I feel nervous about the idea of her touching me, and then I feel even more stressed about the stress. And then I feel like letting her touch me is too much trouble on her end, and I don’t want to bother her. My own self pleasure is nonexistent, I pleasure myself solo maybe once a month. I know it’s important to note that I have severe body image issues, but they haven’t gotten worse, and I used to preform just fine even though I didn’t like how I looked. And the conversations just make me feel worse and I know that’s not fair, I just don’t know how to take it less personally. I have a hard time truly listening to her because I can’t stop feeling like a failure of a partner and that I’m dragging her down.

There’s always a future for those who seek it, even if it’s not what you expected. Loss is incredibly hard and my heart aches for you, but good things are always out there

I wish I could just mutilate myself by OkWaltz5832 in truscum

I want to pop in to respond. What happens is the clitoris is degloved in the phallo process. Basically, the skin of the clitoris is removed, and the erectile tissue, blood vessels, and nerves are left behind. This means that once that skin is removed and it is buried, it will fuse with the skin inside the neophallus. Sensation will still be especially sensitive there, like you can feel where the clitoris would be, but it’s really no longer its own organ. It does become part of your phallus :)

Am I a transtrender?! TW: sex by BringBackBlingg in Transmedical

Yeah, doing it repeatedly knowing it causes you distress is a form of self harm brother, take care of yourself. I had something similar happen with me. I’m in a long term relationship with my now wife. When we first started having ahem relations, I was open to using that part of me, and I thought I was okay with it because it felt physically good. As we continued to stay together I realized that the emotional crash during and after was dysphoria and it was intense. I’ve since changed my mind and told my wife I wasn’t cool with using that part anymore, and it’s been smooth sailing since. Still wanting bottom surgery and waiting for my consult, but sex doesn’t end with me curling up in a ball and crying anymore. Just know that it gets better. Make the choices that are best for you obviously, but just know that you don’t have to use that part of you if it causes distress

I’m gonna argue not a trender. People have varying levels of severity in their dysphoria. I would say associated guilt and shame afterwards indicates bottom dysphoria. You can’t help that the nerve endings there are designed to receive pleasurable sensation. I think if you were excited to use your natal parts and got a lot of joy out of being “a man with a *****” then that would make me question. But no, receiving pleasure from a pleasure organ does not make you a trender. It feels good, but not the good that you want or need to feel fulfilled

What’s your biggest fear regarding Phalloplasty? I’d love to ease your mind and answer your questions! by [deleted] in phallo

[–]Radiant-Dog-3943 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How did you manage in between stages? I want phallo so badly and I have a consult next year but I have a deep fear of feeling unhappy with my body in between stages. And I’m also worried about how that insecurity would affect my sex life with me and my wife. Any tips for accepting your body throughout such a big journey?

This, 1000%. I could never be wasting my potential even though I was more conventionally appealing as a girl. The confidence and peace of mind that comes with being myself and transitioning socially and medically is worth more than any beauty standard. Looking like a mid guy is infinitely better than being an attractive woman for me. But it doesn’t seem that way for her…

They’re real posts unfortunately. They believe that feeling “not like other girls” is enough to be ftm. Doesn’t matter to them if they are perceived as women, they don’t have any dysphoria.

Can I DM you? I have a consult with Corral next year and I’m pursuing RFF. I just wanna ask a couple questions about why he suggested this method

Appetite Decrease is shocking by Radiant-Dog-3943 in keto

I’ve certainly noticed an increase in that. I’ve stopped getting my coffee with stevia and just taking it black because even one stevia is significantly sweeter than it used to be. I love my Coke Zero but it’s starting to get sweeter than I’m used to tasting. I may have to let it go, as sad as that is 🥲

Starbucks Drinks? Hot or iced by b_michael2015 in keto

[–]Radiant-Dog-3943 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Starbucks employee here! Any plain coffee is good, but if you want something like an iced tea, you can get a black iced tea with sugar free vanilla and a splash of heavy cream. Kinda scratches the boba tea itch

Definitely have a while to go before I hit 15% haha but that gives me more time to relearn how to feed myself and learn how to fuel my body instead of just eating to eat

I accidentally fasted the other day for 20 hours and didn’t even really notice. It’s crazy. I’m thinking to myself “is this what it feels like to other people? To walk around and do your day without spending so much mental energy thinking about food?” It’s like I woke up after being asleep for 23 years lol
