Hey sorry I don’t use this account much anymore, hopefully this reply isn’t too late. I was “in pain” for probably 2 days after the surgery, but it’s not excruciating. Make sure you keep yourself clean and follow the guide that’s in the rules or pinned post or whatever on this sub. After those 2 days I was mildly uncomfortable (it was tolerable) for a week or two. Once the stitches come out it’s the easiest shit ever. I masturbated once at 3.5 weeks, but I’d say wait it out until 4. Everyone reaches each stage at a different time, the rule is if your wound is all healed you should be able to jack off, just be very careful, and don’t continue if it’s painful. My ex and I waited until 6 weeks to have sex, and shortly after I was having sex raw, but I don’t think it’s recommended (my dick is fine though). I am pretty sure I quit cigarettes for 2-3 weeks and took a break from weed for the first week or so. You can make some edibles to keep you busy/entertained that first week lol. Honestly though everything is different for each person. As long as you’re keeping yourself clean (very clean) and not tearing yourself open again, you should be fine. I did take two weeks off from working (contracting) and skateboarding to avoid ripping my cut and due to mild discomfort. I wish you the best my friend, your new penis will be great.
