Appendege Forming & Pleasure

[Guest Lynnx]

metoidioplasty, phalloplasty and pleasure in bed.

If i were to transition, what would give me the greatest satisfaction?

Truthfully that is my priority.

Honestly thats going to depend on who does your surgery. Some folks will feel the meta, because its "all natural" however some peeps manage to mess up on a meta, some patients might not have enough growth to penetrate which might be important to them. Conversely, not all docs imbed in a phallo -which is what allows orgasming with one- and some who try might not be able to guarantee they won't damage the nerve. In the end its question of size vs less invasive option.

I'm mainly concerned with functionality. Am I going to be able to use it like I want. Hopefully by the time I go in there be some improvements in the surgeries.

You mean sex? Sex you can have, especially with the phallo. Penetration, urirnation, stiffening (its censored), sensation; you can get one that does all of that. Ejaculation however would mean rewiring a bunch of stuff in your innerds and figuring out how to have something mechanical manufacture semen. -don't count on it. I figure if a bio-man cn be "content" with a phalloplasty (cuz you can bet the surgery was not originated for ftms but rather genetic males who had accidents or birth defects) then I sure can too and not feel any different. Do I wish it were "more detailed"? Yes. Am I gonna say I don't want one if offered it for free? Not on any day of the week ending in "y".

And how cool would that be? There are some days I'd sell my soul to be able to do that.

[Guest Evan_J]

...., I'd sell my soul to be able to do that.

Fortunately I recently learned that we can't actually do that -you can't sell what really isn't yours (as in "a possession") to begin with.

However, I know the emotion you're having. I don't think there's anything about being a biological male I'd be happier to experience than what it is to be a father. The sexual arousal and gratification from that function would be good too

People who's had a metoidioplasty can become hard themselves while those who've had a phalloplasty need either a rod or a pump to become hard.

If you want to experience pleasure with a phalloplasty, you'll need a nerve hook-up and should look into the forearm as a donor site. Correctly performed metoidioplasties have sensation, including sexual sensation.

Metoidioplasties are rarely big enough for penetration, so prosthetic may still be necessary if that aspect is important to you. Phalloplasties are big enough for penetration.

Then there's the aesthetics - I know I want something whose appearance isn't jarring and a turn-off. This is highly personal. Some like the look of one, some the look of the other, some the look of both, and some the look of neither.

[Guest bronx]

For me I want to have the Metoidoplasty simply because sensation is important to me, and the phalloplasty is not a sure go at this time. However if the surgery is improved I will diffently opt for it.

[Guest StrandedOutThere]

If I got bottom surgery, I'd have to go with the meta. Something about having plastic parts implanted in my nether rod creeps me out.

As for right now, I'm getting by with what I have.

If you want to experience pleasure with a phalloplasty, you'll need a nerve hook-up and should look into the forearm as a donor site.

I actually know of one doctor (at least) who uses the waist as the donor site with a thigh graft and embeds the "original part" for sensation. Thats one way to do it.

I'm sort of worried about the rods Stranded (though I do know someone with them who's happy) but still my big thing is the length of time it takes on the table to do a phallo. THATS what slows my roll. If I could be guaranteed maximum length for a meta with some serious tumescence I'd be a happy boy.

Tell me about it. Frustrating in more ways than one...

I always did have trouble deciding between the better of two evils.

If the phallo started out for bio-males..and that's what the tissue engineering stuff is focusing on right now...

I still say we're just as important as they are though! Because really we aren't any different if you think about it..lol

[Guest CharlieRose]

And then where do pumps come into this? I still don't know exactly what they are, but could they affect this issue, size and pleasure-wise?
