Of course she could. "Figured she could" is kind of an odd way to put it. Are you serious, or are you joking, and if you're being facetious, is it friendly?

I guess I wouldn't mind input, as long as everything is no barbs and no viciousness.

I can't help but ask... are you genuinely asking this out of curiosity, or were you offended by the other thread and are just trying to get even?

I'm having surgery in 2 weeks!

Good luck with your surgery!

What does it feel like? I don't know, I've become pretty good at blocking that thing out of my consciousness. I guess it feels like it shouldn't be there.

Again, I can only comment as someone who don't want hers.

It feels like a big siren, wailing out, flashing, stinking, freak comming, stand back, don't get involved. Big time weirdo. Can't make it as a man. Avoid the smell.

It's ugly. It hurts like mad. It gets really itchy and anyone who tells you you don't get psorisis on it doesn't know what they're talking about.

It makes me inadequate. Not just feel, but actually.

Some might say it's handy when you need to pee, but believe me, it still leaks. It still hurts.

More than anything else, its a focus, a focus to remond me that my sexuality is and always will be second best. Some might say it has a lot of feelings, sensations. No, it has less sensitive than my fingers.

I won't start to anthromorphise it by talking about its needs or its behaviour. It doesn't have any intelegence nor individuality. It's just a useless part that doesn't seem to have the correct wiring available.

Basically, it's a wheel from a truck put on a trike.

LOL too funny  :D

To be perfectly honest, there is a reason why people say that men 'think with their penis'.  In almost everything you do, you feel it down there.  It is so sensitive that every time you take a step, or move or whatever... it seems to interject its 'opinion'.   Yes, it can make you feel very inadequate.  I personally now imagine what it will feel like without it.   god that would be so nice.

A guy drove up in a new pickup, all lifted etc... my response was ' nice truck... sorry about your penis'... haha :P

I don't think you are asking how it feels when a man is putting his in my vagina, to be sure, it feels good.

If you mean how I felt about mine in the old days.
Don't know anymore since I had srs long time ago.
Still glad I lost it somewhere

I'm in the same boat. Has this had any affect on GCS surgery at all? What have you found to be most effective in controlling psoriasis? The list I have is too long to publish here. I'm just hoping HRT can provide some results. But I do worry about being knocked back for surgery.

If it's too sensitive to answer, you can PM me. Thank you very much.

Be safe, well and happy

Mine is mainly restricted to the ugly bits. It has gotten a lot worse this year and started to spread over the surrounding skin. It flakes like mad and itches as badly. The floor in front of my bed, for example, and the bathroom floor often have a small pile of dry skin lying around. I usually just vacume it up.

The entire area is permanenty red.

I use a cycle of different moisturisers. When I see a new one on the market I try it out. Some sting, like vasaline cream. Vasceline gell has no effect. Emolients work, but only for a few weeks. Lately I've been using something called Aveedo which seems quite good.

I always wash with simple soap and water. Dry carefully.

I know the condition is psychosomatic, but didn't realise the psychosomatic effect would be so obvious.

Another problem I have is that in parts, the skin has actually thickened slightly.

Sadly, surgery is no-longer an option for me. I have other health problems now which make general anesthetics, not to mention most drugs, too risky. Left things too late.

Thank you so much for enquiring Cathrine.

really, it doesn't feel like much unless you consciously think about it. it is more material there than a vulva, but you really don't feel any differences unless you experience an erection, then you really know it's there. it's really just part of your body, and you don't actually feel much of anything unless you bring it to your consciousness with questions like these. i remember wondering what it was like to have a vulva, but i came to the conclusion it would just be less material on my groin which i feel a little when crossing my legs, and just some things like that.

Want to find a brave doctor? I'll gladly trade mine. Any milage it had has been cancelled out from neglect. ;)

I would like to say though that I don't think any FTMs or MTFs should be asking eachother about gentials unless it is genuine curiosity and not intended to be mean. No, I don't think that posting the thread on the FTM forum asking about vaginas was appropriate, but it's silly and spiteful to jump over here and ask the ladies how they feel about their bodies. Don't get me wrong, I always wondered and dreamed about it, but I wouldn't ask the gals how they feel about it. They probably feel the same way I do about my vagina.

An ongoing battle of the bulge, metaphorically and physically. It feels like a sharp blade that comes out of you, filled with emotional pain. You hope it goes away, but it just doesn't. You can try to remove it, for your sanity, but it won't. It makes me nearly cry every time I realize what is there as opposed to what should be. I have to reassure myself that it will be something much nice one day, but that day can't come soon enough.

Every time it shows its ugly head, I ask it why it's even there... nobody likes you (it), it should just die, and really makes me sad. That, and I want to cut it off like I almost did when I was younger. I'm just so glad there's a solution out there, if there wasn't, I don't think I'd be typing this right now.

I think this has been a useful discussion for those of us who have to deal with the male bit.

I get the feeling that the original poster was looking for something more, which sadly, is a bit difficult really.

But giving some of the an opportunity to actually think about how we think about what we have now has certainly been useful. I've learnt something about myself, to be honest and a lot about others and their impressions.

Please stop the sniping, folks. People have the right to self-identify as they like without someone's coming along and being sarcastic about it.

And if you have a problem with a post, please either count to ten (or higher) and let it go, take it to PMs, or report it. When you snipe back, we get these wonderful escalations and hurt feelings. Neither fun nor supportive.

Having a penis, from a perspective where I don't like or want it, feels like an obstruction: something in the way. It's there, and it doesn't serve much use other than to take up volume.

From a perspective of what it literally feels like, it doesn't often feel like much, when positioned properly. When improperly so, well, it may feel stretched, like an arm being pulled too far... except it's one's crotch. An erection causes some more describable feelings, such as pressure. It feels like one's head when they are crying really really harshly, holding their breath and allowing the capillaries to burst. Except... in the penis. There are also the more familiar feelings of sexual pleasure, depending on the cause of the event.

It doesn't generally enter conscious thought often enough to really feel like much more; you have to be aware of it in order to really notice it in yourself, for the most part.

If your curiosity was genuine.

I don't really remember the sensations anymore but I used to think of it as a clitoris on a stalk. And its 2 friends felt like internal organs gone external. In any case it felt dreadful to look in the mirror and see it there.

Interesting to me is that the word penis is at least not banned (yet?) like it seems to be on the FtM side of things.

Interesting too is, that the girls here get all catty with each other, and no MtF getting all pissy and prissy of some FtM asking some valid questions about their bio-plumbing. I do think it makes sense to ask bio-folks plumed about their stuff too. Or?

Then, over here (MtF) it always filters down to non-/pre-op vs post-op.

Makes you think, doesn't it?

It's not the issue over on the FtM side AT ALL, now go and try and explain THAT. Is a penis such a flag-staff to get on about?

Though tough it might be to accomplish - none of the non- and pre-op FtMs are wangling their vaginas, wonderful beloved, into each others faces - only thing there is you may not even speak the word vagina or clitoris in the first place...

So, maybe we should ban the word penis over here too - then ALL go and pretend we have vaginas? Some more - and some less visible?

Just a thought,

Hey, why not?

I don't really like the literal terms either, but that's probably more a reflection of my own neurosis. Personally, I like descriptive terms. Ugly bit suits me.

Something that has occured to me is, is there any noticable post-op difference between those who have very sensitive ugly bits and those who don't?
Title: Re: What does it feel like to have a penis?
Post by: AbraCadabra on November 12, 2011, 08:42:45 AM
Spacial,
the answer to your question is a clear: YES!

BUT --- not only does a neo-vj feel VERY different to a penis, SOMETHING also seems to flip a switch in the brain department too.

It is for this reason (my current understanding...) we have all these non- pre- vs post-op flaming parties going over here.

If over here (MtF) everyone would like to create their own reality as is plenty the case on the (FtM) side, the problem would not exist.
Like then every one has female parts being female - and if it happened to be a penis with scrotum and testes it still be a vj. So?
That's how plenty of FtMs seem to cope and then can focus on other important stuff, like how to STP, sundry gear, binding etc. Those guys seem much more practical it seems :-)

My 2 cents,
Axelle

Post by: AmySmiles on November 12, 2011, 09:23:40 AM
I don't exactly like mine, but I still have it... So I'll try to answer this question in the spirit of what the original intent probably was, since very few other people seem to even try staying on topic...

It's a dangling piece of flesh between your legs.  If you flex the muscle down in that area you can feel it move up or down (I've been told the same muscle "squeezes" the vagina).  You can feel it hitting either leg when you're walking around unless you position it right.  If you're sitting down, it's usually resting on one leg or the other, which to me was extremely dysphoric.  The other part containing the gonads can feel kind of uncomfortable when it's cold outside because it contracts based on temperature.  Random erections were the worst... it feels like you're trapped in a space where there's not enough room and it's pretty much impossible to find a comfortable position.  Makes it really hard to pee too, and the more you have to the harder it is. :P

Sexually, I imagine guys like having it there.  To me it's just an uncomfortable part with sensitive tissue on it.

All that said, mine is tucked 24/7 so I wrote from memory.  I hope it was helpful to someone, because now I'm feeling dysphoric. :(
