Up To The Largest Diameter Dilator Today

Recommended Posts

  • Admin

Today, I began using my largest diameter dilator, the one I get to use from here on out, unless I goof off and lose some size. I traded a dot of depth for the diameter, and while it is tight, I have learned to rotate it past the ouchy spots. I have a few nerves that are hinting at pleasure in the months to come, but the bad ouches are over. I may get over my intention to remain celibate at this point, but even the possibility is a far cry from what my thoughts were two weeks ago.

I was really supposed to be here last week, but I developed a yeast infection, and had to wait for it to clear up to increase my size up to the middle sized "boy friend". He is history now, and only about a day overdue per the instruction sheet. I remember yeast infections in my ex-spouse and my two daughters, and now I really know what they went through there. They did not laugh at me too hard when I told them about it!!!

I am still happy with my decision to have SRS, and I know it was right for me. The pain though has been real, and is part of the price I am paying, but worth it in my mind. I am starting to put the pain behind me, and the sharpness of it has dulled in what I really feel, also time is starting to collapse in on itself, and I cannot put time to things like I did on my first three days.

Its a bigger decision than we can grasp at the time we make it.

Hi Vicky,

Lead the way, dearest!

I don't know what I'll be saying postop, but have really thought about that last line: "It's a bigger decision than we can grasp at the time we make it." I made the decision 40 years ago. Made it again with more conviction last summer as the letters were completed. And now, standing on the doorstep, wavering with nervous second thoughts... I'll stick to my decisions because I know they were valid, will live life forward without regret. But, (I seem to find that word too often) what costs? What else will I know that I don't know now? Oh what the heck? Full speed ahead, and damn the torpedoes!

So, making the full circle on the thought. Largest size dilator / torpedo? Those things scare the dickens out of me!

Love, Megan

Yes damn the torpedos!!! Don't worry Kiddo. I'm the little PT boat at your side, I will protect your cruiser. If anything tries to submarine you, *way giggle* I have the depth charges ready. Stay on board and don't jump ship!

Like I said gray is my to die for color! LOL! Keep your colors flying, you will have a victory! Hug. JodyAnn

PS---Vicky did! She is relaxing on her desert island with hunky men to give her dates. That and she doesn't even need to put up with frivelous small talk too. Giggle. JA

Wise words indeed.

Thank you again for your wise words. I hope Jody doesn't sink anyone's submarine if the torpedoes are needed. I am on the fence but seem quite content there for the time being. I spent so long just finding the courage to do what i've done. There is also the fact that i am one of a couple. I am grateful for the posts as they help me better understand myself and others.

I may someday damn the torpedoes, especially the ones that hurt.

Hugs,

Charlie

Sounds like it won’t be long before we all will be hearing about orgasms and how much fun dilating has become. That’s always a popular topic.

I don’t remember loss of depth with wider diameter, but I guess it varies.

Perhaps, since you been so recently thru it, you might share how you dealt with the yeast infection since treatment of such is fraught with many potholes in both the detection and especially treatment in post-operative MTF. Others could benefit.

Sounds like a good topic to elaborate on if you will. Perhaps a different topic altogether.

      Good morning!   Finally got my ears pierced, so up even earlier worrying about how I slept on them last night.

      Hello @The Lake, Welcome to our forum. I’m intrigued by your introduction and would enjoy reading more about your backstory. We all have very unique journeys and yours is not one I have come across often. As you become more comfortable with our community, maybe you could share more aout how your gender identity evolved, what difficulties you confronted and endured and what some of your successes were along the way. Also, do you see yourself involved in a future transition of roles, presentation, social, physical, or something else entirely? There is never any pressure to share a thing here. So feel free to share as little or as much as you like. We are a very open-minded nonjudgmental group who enjoy learning new things from our members.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @gizgizgizzie, It’s nice to have you in the fold. We are a very diverse group so you’ll fit in just fine. Right now, society at large is getting bombarded with misinformation, bait and switch tactics, propaganda and lies so it’s no wonder no one can get it right. I don’t come out and explain things about my gender identity as much these days but when I do it’s amazing how little these people know about our transgender community in 2024.   Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I hope to learn more about you as you become more acclimated and active within our forum.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.

      I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge.    I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that.   I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing.    I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.

      I sometimes look too critically when I look in mirrors. If I’m presenting as male, I think I look too feminine. If I am presenting female then I think I look too masculine. It’s very irritating! Sometimes I think I get it down right. I guess everybody has their good and bad hair days and such, though.

      I cooked a breaded bone-in pork chop (seared in iron skillet then into the oven) an artichoke (w/mayo) and a frozen mac n' cheese that claimed it was "The Best Mac n' Cheese" ... and it was actually pretty good.
