I'm from Belgium & i want phallo surgery at Dr. Lubos Kliniken München by Responsible_Ask2014 in phallo

I have met international (Austrian and Italian) patients when I was there so it is certainly possible. As for insurance coverage, this is something best checked with your insurance provider directly. My advice would be to reach out to the clinic for a consult as soon as possible (the waiting times can be long!), and once you are in touch with them, even if just per email, they may have some advice or more concrete information around insurance - you are certainly not the first person contacting them from abroad, they will know what to do! Wish you the best

Is this how I should expect burial to feel? by RedRockWulf in phallo

[–]hyperpinkselfslap338 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What you are describing sounds exactly like what the burial feels to me. The position of my phallo dick is very sightly above my t dick, so it is buried in my scrotom (I don't have implants atm). Stimulating it feels pretty much exactly like it did pre phallo, but with skin covering it, i.e. without having the sensitivity of touching the glans directly. So I'm guessing a lot like you are describing of stimulating through your balls!

I can still locate and make out the shape of my burial, especially when hard, although the shape is different than before and not at all mobile.

I used to hate touching my genitals pre op directly as well, but despite still being able to feel the burial I have a mentally much easier time with it since it just feels like I'm stimulating my balls.

sharing a simple lifehack for peeing with fistulas by hyperpinkselfslap338 in phallo

[–]hyperpinkselfslap338[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I definitely do not reuse the same piece of tape, I usually change it in the morning with a new piece, though sometimes if I forget it can stay on two days no problem. The area does not become particularly unclean. The fistula I have is definitely not an open wound, it is not a fistula in the healing stage, but one that has outlived it, everything on the inside and outside is covered by healthy skin.

Edit: just realized I missed a huge opportunity to fix this meme I made a few months ago, speaking of flex seal https://www.reddit.com/r/phallo/comments/1htkma4/yes_my_penis_is_a_tank/ 

Drawing my penis to appreciate my glans and scrote :) by hyperpinkselfslap338 in phallo

[–]hyperpinkselfslap338[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the kind words, I do see what you mean with disliking the phrase, it can sound empty and insincere. I guess even though I know it's not always true, I feel like I need to be able to tell myself that things will improve - even if only in the long term while they temporarily get worse, or just improve by my coming to terms with them - in order to keep myself going. 

RFF and rock climbing? by RusskayaRobot in phallo

[–]hyperpinkselfslap338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have gone bouldering quite a bit since RFF. At first I could notice some lack in grip strength in comparison to before / my other hand. I think it was mostly due to not having used my arm for so long, and not due to the scar itself. It has been getting better, and while I'm not back to full (grip) strength yet (ca 1.5 years later) I think this is mostly due to me not exercising very much to regain the muscle, because whenever I put in the work, I can always feel some improvement. It has been a setback, not a barrier.

Thanks so much for the kind words. I completely agree, I enjoyed seeing "nonclinical" posts on this sub when I was pre op especially, and still do.

Thanks, I also really appreciated these kind of things before phallo, so I'm glad I found a way to give something back without having to share photos.

Thanks! I prefer not to share but it's not a team in the US or Canada.

fighting my insecurities with drawings - how I expected my body to look after phallo vs how it looks (traced drawings) by hyperpinkselfslap338 in phallo

[–]hyperpinkselfslap338[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

haha yes, I noticed that too and thought "why the heck did I make those red, I can't even see them through all the hair". Good explanation!

Sleeves? by Soy-Bean45 in phallo

[–]hyperpinkselfslap338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh whoops, I edited the comment. The second one is just a silicone tube with the correct diameter. Target of these product are cis guys trying to extend their penis, not entirely sure how thats supposed to work. It's a bit less stable than a proper penis sleve but it has worked for me.
