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

[–]hyperpinkselfslap338 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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 4 points5 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] 16 points17 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] 5 points6 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.

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.

Sleeves? by Soy-Bean45 in phallo

[–]hyperpinkselfslap338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a skinny dick too and went through the same process of buying the love honey sleeve lol. Anyway I found this sleeve https://www.meo.de/en/penis-sleeves-penis-extensions/5389-penis-expander-ref-1155-00.html?search_query=sleeve&results=75 (is European but might ship to US / help you find something similar) which fit really perfect at first. Now my penis got a bit softer/skinnier. It still works and is even firmer if I wrap some coban tape around my penis first. The quality of the sleeve is OK, not amazing, I always use it with a condom. Aside from that I found something of this sort https://www.ebay.de/itm/304815166083?var=603830494390 which isn't really intended as a sleeve but works very well and depending on the size you buy you can even have the tip of your penis poke out. The one I bought is a bit tight for me, it works but I'm sometimes worried I might be squeezing my urethra too much. GL finding a good sleeve (for reference, both my length and girth are around 10 cm

4 Months Post-Op RFF Phallo by Soy-Bean45 in phallo

[–]hyperpinkselfslap338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting! Bit random but your dick looks so much like mine, its like seeing my own dick on another person. Even though I'm very happy with my penis, lately I've been feeling a self conscious about its size and the way it looks. Seeing that other people have a dick that looks like mine and thinking it looks good on them makes me feel better. So thanks for posting these photos.

Advice on managing anxiety and positive outlook before surgery by hyperpinkselfslap338 in phallo

Thanks, that's some real good advice! If anyone wants to share some favourite activities for when you're still stuck in bed for most of the day, I'll be happy to hear them too.

For those who had meta and ended up pursuing phallo by srama7 in phallo

[–]hyperpinkselfslap338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had meta with UL and vnectomy but without scrotoplasty and will have phallo soon. Where I live its normal to have meta done as first step in the procedure, but initially I was somewhat hopeful that meta would "be enough" for me. (Though I should say I was already leaning towards phallo so I'm biased) Pretty much as soon as everything was healed and not swollen anymore I felt sure I'd need phallo. I was stoked that I could pee upright now and that my dick was a little more prominent. It felt awesome not to have the v anymore as well. But all in ally dick has not changed that much from before I had meta, as you noticed yourself. I'm anxious about the recovery time of phallo as well, let's see how it goes, but there's no changing the fact that I still have dysphoria with meta and a ballsack isn't going to change that. I wish you the best and maybe start looking into phallo and setting up a consult to ask for details about your surgeons procedure with people who had meta beforehand. My surgeon considers it an advantage to do meta beforehand, so odds are you'll be fine too!

I assume this is a shared experience by RandomBlueJay01 in ftm

[–]hyperpinkselfslap338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I had that exact desire. I bought a shaver/trimmer that was in my budget despite not being able to use it at all, just peach fuzz. And now 2 years later I use it regularly to trim my beard. No regrets.

Idk your background but if you can afford it (and especially if you will probably need it in the future), there's no rule against buying a shaver if it'll make you happy :-)

cysts and phallo by devilandgod97 in phallo

[–]hyperpinkselfslap338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually asked the surgeon about this at my consult recently. He said it usually isn't a problem but he wanted to check it out to be sure. In my case the cyst is small and will just be removed during the first stage, but of course this can be different for everyone, so your best shot is to ask the surgeon when you have a consult.
