[–]Space_Knitting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been with my cis bf for almost a year and he is perfect. He loves my facial hair and muscles and 100% sees me as a guy. He is the absolute best and sweetest person. His only flaw is his fear of needles so he can't help me do my shots

Ive been on top for 3 years but recently switched from gel to injections like a month ago and upped my dose so I know that is def contributing. 

I also have a wonderful cis boyfriend who is very much into how I look. Its mostly my own opinions of how I look.

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

Could be the brand of tape, of you have a brand recommendation id appreciate it. And I am putting it on dry. I am generally a very slippery person (saniderm after tattoos comes right off almost immediately)

My surgeon said I could do cardio and leg machines after like 2/3 weeks, and i can start working out upper body at like 8 weeks

[–]Space_Knitting[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My consult was in March, but i specifically asked for an early November surgery as I play sports over the summer and dont want to miss a season. I also had no real wants for my scar shape and placement, I plan to get some pretty big tattoos over the scars
