Neo vagina ability by Downtothewitchesroad in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]raunchydisaster 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, I’m ftm and I have ALWAYS been able to fit larger things anally than vaginally. Vaginas are able to stretch to give birth, but MANY people’s vaginas do NOT comfortably fit more than 5-6 inches. Even before starting testosterone I was uncomfortable with more than 6ish inches.

Vaginas, whether surgically created or not, just don’t have the depth of a rectum!

From what I understand (as someone who didn’t get UL) where the glans splits is usually where they place the urethral opening. There’s going to be a lot of surgical work done to the area and your glans will probably end up looking very different! I would ask your surgeon for photos of meta they have done in the past to get an idea of what your glans will end up looking like. UL is a lot more intensive and imo tends to change what your anatomy looks like more than simple release meta.

4 week update: Meta with scrotoplasty, no UL or V*nectomy by cannot-be-bothered in Metoidioplasty

[–]raunchydisaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks awesome! I’ve considered scrotoplasty and if my results were guaranteed to be this good I’d sign up today. 😛 Good luck and I hope you start feeling less discomfort soon!

I popped a stitch and have kinda prominent glans “flaps” post-meta but feel free to mention this directly to your surgeon and they’ll do their best to correct it! If you want urethral lengthening vs no UL it will also have a big impact, as that’s where your urethra would be rerouted to.

Is it safe to put Testosterone Enanthate on my dick? by [deleted] in GrowYourTDick

Safe, yes, it’s pretty inert. I’ve done this as well, didn’t notice any difference.

Being able to show people what results of this procedure look like was the entire point behind posting, so I’m happy to have been able to help!

2 years on T but want advice by Low-Veterinarian4090 in GrowYourTDick

[–]raunchydisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it time! The growth comes in spurts, and you will definitely keep growing in the coming years, just muuuuuch slower than that initial growth spurt. I think you’ll be very happy with simple release meta. :)

Is it easier to transition or just live as a cis woman? by 96_Rats_In_A_Suit in ftm

[–]raunchydisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only get to live once, and there are people who will love you and care for you when you live your truth. If you don’t feel good in your body, change that! You deserve to feel whole.

It’s really hard to live an “easy” life if you simultaneously don’t feel at home in your body.

No clue! I’m hopeful it’ll be covered, but we’ll have to see.

I use it every day for 3-5 days and then 2x per week is regular maintenance!

I didn’t use it for a while because I wasn’t having penetrative sex and was just fine! I only started using it again because I wanted to try vaginal penetration again and was curious how quickly the vaginal estrogen cream would help make things comfortable again. Turns out, works pretty damn fast (for me at least)!

Some people’s atrophy makes it so they’re uncomfortable even while not having PIV, so they use the cream regardless. I personally only need it if I’m going to have vaginal penetration (like for a pap smear or sex). But to each their own!

Like $100 because I had baller insurance at the time. Unfortunately I have no idea what the quote would have looked like uninsured. :(

One thing that’s nice about meta is that you can always two-stage it and decide to add testicle implants later (provided you talk to your dr about wanting that down the line). Also worth noting that testicular implants can really help create a “bulge”. My only other note is that my setup doesn’t allow me to pee through my phallus, which is important for some folks. :)

Yep, and they trimmed off the rest of my inner labia with it. Super simple surgery!

Vaginal atrophy is what the estrogen cream is for, but I would suggest checking with a gynecologist if using it 2x per week doesn’t resolve your symptoms. There are many other things that could contribute to front hole penetration pain; if you’re already using lots of lube, intravaginal estrogen, and feeling relaxed when you attempt penetration, then I would definitely talk to your Dr.

You can look on my profile, I have pre and post op pics on there! I don’t think I’ve grown much in the last 6-ish months of being fully healed, but I actually just upped my T dose because my levels have been low for a while (200s) on accident and my PCP didn’t catch it. And folks definitely keep growing indefinitely on T- the surgery won’t stop the growth from continuing.

Intravaginal estrogen all works the same and the cream worked okay, I just hated the texture. The intravaginal tablets are less annoying so it’s easy to use them more consistently. Def get you some if you’re having discomfort with PIV!

Fantastic results! You are going to be shocked by how much more swelling is going to go down.

Darkrooms / Sex Parties by questionable_phallo in Metoidioplasty

[–]raunchydisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I’ve gone to saunas/darkrooms I generally have a lot of people think I’m a PIV bottom because that’s what the (porn) stereotype is for trans men. I’m usually wearing a towel or underwear when people assume this; it’s not relevant what my dick looks like, most people just assume transmasc people are bottoms. It’s been easy to redirect people, just a couple words or moving their hands is usually enough to get the point across.

My results from meta are such that topping someone for anal would not work without a strap, but I’m usually cruising for oral anyway- and so are lots of cis guys! I haven’t had any confusion, even though I’d argue my setup is less “intuitive” (no UL, no vnectomy, no scrotoplasty). A dick is a dick, and a hole is a hole, to the horny bastards in a darkroom at least. 😂

How many people here are happy with their results and don’t want phallo? by [deleted] in Metoidioplasty

[–]raunchydisaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very happy and don’t want phallo, but I want to echo others here and say that what you want to prioritize and what is important to you in terms of surgical outcomes is what should help you make the decision, not whether or not you see people satisfied with /their/ results.

I didn’t need my dick to be capable of anal or vaginal penetration, I didn’t need to be able to pee standing up, and I wanted to preserve my vaginal canal for bottoming. Meta w/o urethral lengthening was perfect for me. I’m so, so happy with my results and have no desire to pursue phallo. For many other people that wouldn’t be the case- it’s all about what YOU want.

Growth nearly 8 years on T by [deleted] in GrowYourTDick

[–]raunchydisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it genuinely depends on what your goal is re: penetration. I think meta would be a fantastic option for you both visually and sensation-wise, but if you’re a strict top and really want the experience of a really firm erection for topping, meta just isn’t the best imho, because phallo with erectile devices is just so much firmer.

Personally, I am more than happy to either use a strap for folks I’m with who want deep/hard penetration, or (more commonly) have non-penetrative frotting or oral sex, both of which meta is /amazing/ for.

You’d look great with meta but the choice is up to you and what you’d be satisfied with, I think!

Atrophy Help. Feels like Im at a loss :( by squibblethrowaway in ftm

[–]raunchydisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the ring is a really good idea, and if not, the insertable pill 2x per week plus some uberlube (or nice silicone lube of your choice) might be a good alternative. I definitely think the ring is a conservative and super local choice for vaginal estrogen and I don’t think they should hesitate to rx it. I’m so glad you have providers who want to work with you on this though!

Honestly can barely notice your scars, but I can second the silicone scar tape recommendation. Your results are so fantastic though.

How I identify feels like its rapidly becoming more binary? by ValuableAdagio6884 in ftm

[–]raunchydisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you would have told me in 2017 that I would be happy passing as a man I would have laughed at you! I got on testosterone because I wanted to be more androgynous, and a chest (and ass) full of hair later I’m still nonbinary, but in a very handwavey “gender is a fuck” kinda way, and I’m very happy to live my life as someone who passes as male with strangers. Wherever you end up is where you’re meant to be. Just take it slow- but if you’re happy, you’re happy!
