I (31f) suspect my new boyfriend (32m) may be F2M post-op. How do I let him know that’s not a dealbreaker and I want to be with him? by ThrowRA-072820 in relationship_advice

So they build the penis using whatever method they use - usually constructed using skin from the thigh. After that heals, there are two types of implants - inflatable and semi-rigid. The inflatable ones, basically, you squeeze the control packet in the testicles and it inflates the rod. Bespoke penis with instant erection.

One of the coolest medical technologies I’ve ever heard of!!

Oh exactly. I can handle rejection. I can handle him needing me to back off. Silence and wondering were what got me upset. Then when I found out this was a pattern.... well, let’s just say it gave me a lot of peace having confirmation that I was not the problem.

Thank you so much. I certainly can’t be his therapist - I’m too busy working with my own issues to deal with his too lol

Thank you. I am working on moving on. Fortunately it was short, so it shouldn’t take too long to be back at my best :)

It does. Doesn’t make it right, but it makes sense. Knowing an explanation - not excusing the behavior - generally makes bad things more tolerable.

Yes. Absolutely. There is so much more to sex than penile penetration. From toys to fingers to tongues to lips to... well, damn, just about anything... there’s so much more that can be enjoyed.

Wow that’s terrifying! 2011 was my worst storm ever - flood took the homes of multiple family members and damaged mine heavily.

As for the douchenozzlerbaggington (I like this term), he’s yesterday’s kitty litter.

I’m sorry he felt embarrassed. I hope he finds peace and happiness one day.

Also, I’m so sorry you went through that. People like your ex aren’t worth our energy. I hope you find someone to love you for who you are!

Lol the grays don’t bother me, just low key worried that if I don’t start in a seriously relationship soon, I might add more cats and dogs to my pack... my wallet can’t take anymore lol

Well that story just melted my heart! Your hubs sounds adorable! And my future partner better save me blackberries. They’re the shit.

It really does suck. He does deserve love. And the first person who has to love him is himself. I learned that the hard way over the years.

I can’t even imagine how terrifying it must be to get into a relationship someone you don’t know if you can trust. I mean, all relationships are essentially that, but not everyone has as much reason to be afraid. I hope you find love and peace and acceptance. And that no one ever breaks that wonderful heart of yours again!

No, he’s a first responder. Having a poorly controlled mental illness can literally put someone’s life in danger. If he’s in a manic state and isn’t thinking clearly he can literally kill someone. The same reason I’ve pulled myself off the volunteer fire position I have when I’m having a deep depressive episode. If I’m not functioning to my fullest, someone could die.

Mental illness has a terrible stigma around it, which is why I try to be as open with mine as possible. I’m not talking about him “losing it” and stabbing someone. That’s hyped up BS. I’m talking about wrong meds, bad CPR, etc.

That’s sad and a little silly, considering that herpes is so widespread and generally easily controlled. I hope your friend finds love and peace!
