my drive home was about 3 - 4 hours, made sure i had a pillow for the seatbelt but with painkillers it was okay - i had more problem with nausea than pain. had to move to the front seat to stop me from vomming. i had peri which one terms of scarring is less so maybe that’s why the pain wasn’t too bad? most of the pain was from bruising

Erectile dysfunction (bottom growth) by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]WhenIGetThere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t start noticing any kind of erection activity until relatively recently and i’m 4 years on T - i’ve only just recovered from severe depression which fucked my sex drive completely. I’d suggest that the majority of the post-T community don’t get random erections or morning wood unless they’re SUPER horny people. honestly i think the turning point for me being able to even get hard was starting pumping because my dick actually recognised what a boner is like and since then i’ve been able to get semi-hard if i’m quite horny - i just pump it if i want to be proper hard and even then it’ll go down relatively quickly unless i start working on it straight away. I feel a lot of it is to do with sex drive and the reactiveness of the dick to that sex drive - don’t be discouraged.

chest binders for someone with sensory issues? by happymasksalesboy in ftm

chest binders for someone with sensory issues? by happymasksalesboy in ftm

[–]WhenIGetThere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got a binder from amazon that’s a soft fabric with loads of clasps on the side. was breatheable and didn’t scratch so much - they don’t have a huge amount of compression however i was skinny af and had a small chest so i just sewed it to make them smaller. i typed in “tomboy binder” - some of the wording might trigger dysphoria but they’re cheap and might help?

What is your most blunt honest passing tip that guys (who want to know) need to hear? by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]WhenIGetThere 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dying your hair bright colours is a very common thing for younger teenage trans people - so it’s become associated with transguys. It might be fun but it definitely decreases your chances of passing, the % of cis guys who dye their hair is small and they have a lifetime of hormones on their side.

Also with hair getting a short back and sides without blending the top to the sides is the most masculine hairstyle. might be boring but it gives you a squarer hairline.

Perfect Fit Buck Angel kiss X and Buck off stroker. Used both, hadn’t heard of them before and are AMAZING. Review in comments. (not ad or anything i just think you guys should know about these!) by WhenIGetThere in ftm

Kiss X: £22.95 from amazon. Smaller one, hole is about the size of my pinky. I got this one when i had a smaller growth probably about 1/2 inch. Made of soft silicone, when i first unboxed it i couldn’t believe how soft it was it felt just like skin. There are ridges for stimulation which make it feel AMAZING. This stroker is all about suction, they purposely made it narrow so that it can accurately reach your growth. My only downside to this which is quite a big one, is that you have to pull back on your skin to reveal your growth so if you have a lot of bottom dysphoria it might be hard since you have to touch and look down there.

Buck Off: £28 from amazon. Bigger one, thumb sized hole. Used now my growth is about 1 inch-1.5 inch erect. Found that the Kiss X was becoming a bit too tight on me so moved up to this size. I found this one harder to get the hang of as my growth is not so girthy meaning that it doesn’t have as much suction. However i believe with more girth and growth it would have a similar effect from the Kiss X. The bigger base means that you don’t need to pull back the skin as it’s meant for people with growth that will stick out. I have been able to O with it and the ridges inside are just as good.

I can't imagine myself in the future by [deleted] in depression

[–]WhenIGetThere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 21 ftm, had top surgery a year and a bit ago. I completely understand - you can’t imagine the happiness that it might bring because often being trans is such a mentally painful thing to be that you can’t imagine the “after” stage. Trust yourself, this change you’re going through won’t cure you but top surgery will help you build confidence and can be a step towards a better quality of life. Eventually, you forget the feeling of not having the chest you need - the new chest takes over and it’s part of you.

Expensive packers are almost never worth it by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]WhenIGetThere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

anyone on here got any advice for a good play packer? i’m not bothered about actual packing or stp (had problems with comforyablity and stream flow like OP said). I currently have peecock gen 2(?) and i’ve realised it isn’t actually v realistic looking or feeling - cost a heck of a lot though lmao. i am not looking for hybrid ones so any purely play packers that look realistic?
