This might because I have more confidence in myself now and the act is now being done using the correct parts. I’m just surprised how much my needs have increase because before surgery I was meh to sex.

    Can I just say that it’s absolutely fascinating what modern medicine can do. Like, I never thought much about it, but I recently looked up vaginoplasty – for reasons, of course – And wow, I didn’t expect it to be this… elaborate?

    Idk what the right word would be. So much attention to detail on how each part can get repurposed, so to speak.

      Oh trust me I am at the point where the swelling has gone down and the sutures are all most gone and its amazing how normal it looks. In a year you wouldn’t even know. I will say pictures on line are usually of people early on and is a little miss leading of how everything will look in the end.

        If I understand it correctly, it’s also positioned where even the fun button is roughly where a cis woman would have hers. Like, again… that’s some serious attention to detail I believe is incredibly appreciated by everyone who undergoes this surgery, isn’t it?

        I spent so much time looking for more normal pictures of a post-op vagina. Someone in a discord I’m in shared theirs and it had me ecstatic. I doubt any of this was necessary, if I have the dysphoria I’m probably gonna do it anyways right? 🤷‍♀️ Thanks for saying this. I can’t wait, I’m so excited.

      The biological formula was there all along. The parts of a vagina have direct analogs in the parts of a penis. The surgery itself is nothing short of a medical marvel. Having had it myself, there is an undeniable sense of wonder about the entire thing. It’s a surgery that has been talked about and wanted since at least the time of Elgabalus, who famously wanted to have it done. The fact that we can actually do it now and that it looks and functions so similarly, is absolutely amazing.
