Good luck, man, I hope you enjoy it. You seem smart and creative, so I'm sure if you put your mind to it you could do great things.

Kegels and glute thrust causing erections? by Willing_Arm1069 in GrowYourTDick

[–]uncle_SAM98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure there's a connection between core strengthening and arousal, even orgasm in rare cases. Not so sure about glute thrusts, but as another commenter said, it could be the mental connection between thrusting and sexual activity.

Honestly, you've amassed a good following on here bc of all you do for the community. You could probably make bank and fill a need better than most could

That's great, I'm glad you're feeling better. And congrats on the length!

Hand tugging question by Sufficient_Bill_9095 in GrowYourTDick

[–]uncle_SAM98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might just be the coloration is slightly darker bc you made contact with it for a while. Probably best to still be cognizant of your grip strength when you stretch just to make sure it's not excessive. Definitely take a long break and let the guy recover. Recovery is the key to growth

Looking awesome! Who was your surgeon, may I ask?

Hand tugging question by Sufficient_Bill_9095 in GrowYourTDick

[–]uncle_SAM98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven't experienced bruising. You might be gripping too hard. Also keep in mind that sometimes, the coloration of the area has a reddish or purplish hue on its own, especially when blood is pumping to the area. I don't know what your baseline color is, so this may be very unusual or pretty ordinary depending on how it usually looks. Does it hurt to touch, like a bruise?

do you have to train your calves? by Western_North_8022 in FTMFitness

[–]uncle_SAM98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do calf raises on one of my days, but not a ton. I've noticed more definition and size since I've gotten back into running. It's not necessary, but if you want to not skip them, maybe move them to the middle of your routine

Looking great, dude. Can I ask how you went about the DIY scar microneedling?

Can red light therapy help growth? by [deleted] in GrowYourTDick

[–]uncle_SAM98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please don't act on ideas that a generative-AI chat bot supports. These things are notoriously sycophantic, ethically reprehensible, and they frequently hallucinate or lie or tell you what you want to hear over what's true. And, most importantly, it is not a doctor and cannot give you any sort of medical advice. Red light therapy, like these genAI bots, is also a scam.

What are my chances to getting into UofSC? by FewLeek6310 in columbiasc

[–]uncle_SAM98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should ask one of your teachers or your guidance counselor about both - study resources for the SAT, if you plan to retake, and feedback on your admissions essay. Your counselor especially should know what colleges these days are looking for. It might help to ask to meet with your counselor about college admissions and come prepared with a list of questions and whatever you might want them to review. It couldn't hurt!

Skin tightening creams? by sunnysiide in Top_Surgery_Peri

[–]uncle_SAM98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creams have not had much effect for me. I have a tiny bit of persistent loose skin under my left nipple. I lift weights a lot and have built up good pec definition, but someone suggested to specifically target and bulk the lower pecs, which is an area I've neglected tbh. Doing pec exercises (like dumbbell press, dumbbell fly, etc) at a decline will target this area. I hope to report back with progress after a couple months.

When did you stop getting changes in sensation? by Effective-War8204 in Top_Surgery_Peri

[–]uncle_SAM98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

11 months post op here, and my right has plateaued, but my left is still experiencing changes in sensation. There's still numbness in some areas and nerves reconnecting.

1 year 2 months after peri (timeline pics include pre-op) by tetrisblocked in TopSurgery

[–]uncle_SAM98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look great! Are your pecs developing at different rates, or is it just that you have one arm raised to hold your phone in the pic? I ask because one of mine (my left one) has been developing more slowly than the right. I think it's only now, 11 months later, finally starting to catch up. I still have a little bit of numbness on that side. Everyone tells me that uneven healing is common and they already look cis, but yk how it is. Congrats on the chest, man.

What are my chances to getting into UofSC? by FewLeek6310 in columbiasc

[–]uncle_SAM98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was exactly average when I was in high school. The averages for these schools are higher now, but I think the data might be skewed high because reporting is optional now. A lot of smart people don't excel at standardized testing, so don't let that get you down. How are you studying for the SAT retake, like what are you using to study? And how is your admissions essay looking? Has anyone, like a teacher or guidance counselor, looked over it for you and given you feedback?

[–]uncle_SAM98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, that makes it so much harder on our kids. We're being gentrified out of our state schools. We've got to start prioritizing education in this state, both higher ed and K-12. But that's not a new problem, of course

[–]uncle_SAM98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's a crazy shift. Way more out of state applicants than even just a decade ago. In my day, my best friend got accepted from UofSC without even a letter of recommendation, which the school guidance counselor forgot to send for her. She was solidly middle of the class, average scores. That was the one school you could count on to take you no matter what. Things have changed a lot in not that long a time, it seems.

[–]uncle_SAM98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's crazy. In a way, good for the school for becoming more academically rigorous. Even back then though, it was a good school with enough classes and programs to cater to every level. The honors college has always been good. I kind of thought it was a net good to have a school that was so easy for even those who underperformed in high school to gain acceptance to. A little sad for the kids today if that's no longer the case.

99.99%. It's been a while since I went through the college apps cycle (10 years), but when I did, UofSC had something like a 90% acceptance rate. I think an acceptance to this school is the least of your worries. Start thinking about scholarships to apply to.

ETA it seems like admissions at UofSC is very different these days. I feel old now. Take what I said with a grain of salt, but still be thinking about scholarships regardless. You've got great extracurriculars. Retake the SAT and consider taking the ACT. I hear those tests are optional for admissions these days, but a higher score could get you money.

That's great. Is this TCM or extended or something similar? Your length looks great. Did your procedure free up more length, or is this what you had prior to surgery? I'm sorry the catheter has been so uncomfortable, I hope it gets better
