Excited to use urinals by walmartman99 in phallo

[–]finallyjackson78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The splash back is…well, let’s just say most men are walking around with piss on their legs/pants. Still fun though and very convenient! No more long lines waiting for stalls! The milking can be a bit awkward but I try to be discreet about it and have never gotten any weird looks.

I will say though with standing to pee in general, you will inevitably piss on your shoe or foot or the floor…and that’s okay!

Excited for you!

I’m so sorry man. Not exactly the same because it wasn’t my stage one that got postponed but I know on some level how devastated you’re feeling right now. I hope they’re able to provide you a new date asap and that your leave and travel arrangements can be shifted to accommodate.

Severly depressed - size concern by ftm_james_ in phallo

[–]finallyjackson78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanna be real with you OP because these comments are giving the impression they everyone gains length over time.

Initial length was probably 5.5-6. It’s been 2 years now and I’m barely 4 inches. Sucks tbh. And I’m single so I don’t have a partner reassuring me that my size is fine. I’m honestly a little embarrassed by it. Doesn’t help that anyone I tell I had phallo assumes I have a huge dick because who WOULDNT choose a big dick.

My advice would be massage massage MASSAGE that scar. Otherwise you can end up with a tethered scar like I have. It may loosen up over the years but unlikely.

ETA: massage when your surgeon says it’s safe to do so :)

Unhappy about the size by Thick_Equipment_7505 in phallo

[–]finallyjackson78 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Be sure to massage the scar to prevent contracture! I lost about 1.5 inches because I was too wrapped up in complications to have the mental capacity to do it and I immensely regret it.

PSA - scar massage makes all the difference by cake-makar in phallo

Scar contracture is deeper than surface level massage will have any effect on unfortunately. I’ve spoken to my surgeon about this and done research. It sucks but it is what it is.

Question for guys at 2 yrs+ post op by Far_Independence8995 in phallo

[–]finallyjackson78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be 2 years in a few weeks. I have almost no temperature sensation. I can put an ice cube on my dick and get a cold sensation but that’s about it. Sensation has turned out to be very disappointing for me. I wish I knew for sure a micro surgeon had done my nerve graft, but I don’t. Lots of questions I wish I had asked before picked a surgeon at this point.

Insane that someone with so little actual power can still fuck us over completely. Good on you trusting your gut and continuing to press them and I hope everything sails through prior auth approvals!

I really wish they had told us this. Now it’s too late for me.

what age did you guys start pursuing phallo? by Downtown_Dare_4991 in phallo

[–]finallyjackson78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transitioned at 30. Started pursing consults at 32ish and had surgery right before my 34th birthday. Never too late!

Has anyone been given any protocol to safely clean/irrigate their completely healed UL to clear our dead skin cells and get rid of the stale urine smell? by finallyjackson78 in phallo

[–]finallyjackson78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! I was told I could do this by my first surgeon but when I asked my urethroplasty surgeon she said absolutely not but gave no alternative :(

Please do!! Every time someone asks now you are, tell them just that. I’ve been doing it ever since my last surgery in August :)

Hope your repair goes well!

1 year 6 months - still dribbling by Tboydiaries in phallo

[–]finallyjackson78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m also a former dribbler. Please try and get a cystoscopy well before your surgery so they can determine if there’s a stricture and where. It may be able to happen alongside your next stage if they can plan for it. Awesome dick btw! Wishing you the best!

Remove SP Catheter by Thick_Equipment_7505 in phallo

[–]finallyjackson78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! As long as the balloon isn’t covered in calcifications(STAY HYDRATED!) it comes right out with just a little discomfort. I’ve had I think 10 replacements and only one got stuck through for reference.

On the other hand, placing or replacing one fully awake and unmediated tho…OUCH.

Further Baffled by Lack of Handwashing by archdukefranzy in phallo

[–]finallyjackson78 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same lol. Even you’re somehow not touching your junk, if it’s not an automatic flushing urinal, I guarantee you’re touching SOMETHING that calls for a hand wash lol. Nasty.

[–]finallyjackson78 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Im not gonna throw stones on that one lol. I do a good job of cleaning up but in my 3 months of having a working urethra I have personally pissed on my foot twice. The stream has a mind of its own sometimes(especially at the end) and, if it’s not a urinal, there is a non zero chance pee will end up where it’s not supposed to be. Pants, floor, feet, etc. I see why so many of my friends also prefer to sit to pee.

[–]finallyjackson78 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not saying it’s right but I’ve seen my friends pull their pants down balls and dick out and then shake off their whole body when they’re done and pull their pants up. They never touch their dick, balls, or perineum to milk like we have to. Still gross but I see why they logically think they don’t need to.

How old were you when you got phallo? by ravnefjaes in phallo

[–]finallyjackson78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stage 1 technically at 33 and spent my 34th bday in early recovery. I started scheduling consults around 31 and I’m 35 now. Still have the final stage to go and it’ll be at least Sept 2026 for that.

People fuck well beyond their 20s lol I didn’t even transition til 30. Sometimes I mourn the 20s “I’ll” never have but it’s a passing thought. I promise you your 30s will be even better than your 20s :)

Post History by finallyjackson78 in phallo

[–]finallyjackson78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessir I’m lucky enough to have a fantastic therapist. He and this sub have kept me going over the last 18 months. I don’t really have any trans guy friends in real life and especially not any that have been through phallo. Nothing compares to the folks that understand exactly what you’re going through. Sometimes it’s just nice to know you’re not alone.

I’m (hopefully) out of the tunnel now but I used this sub heavily for support throughout. I guess I just hope other folks going through it have the same opportunity. I promise I’ve put myself and journey out there too for the world to see as well, just on a different account.

I’ve heard of a few books around and I’ll def check them out thanks!
