QuoteRight but what were trying to explain to him is that he's not dickless nor will he ever be because the clit is made out of the same thing as a penis and as I also said the invers can be stated as well a penis is an oversized clit and gets erect it has a shaft and a hood over it, its just smaller. And I have alot of bio guy friends and the same feeling they get when they jack off is the same feeling I get no lie,We have alot of weird convos but what teen boy doesn't. You will actually find that our bodies are actually the least thing that's different its only hormones and brain structure. Took biology also learned this in sociology we all start out with female genitalia a clit is just an underveloped penis.
Yes, I agree on that and I have always been very sure that what I experience is the same as a cisguy's too, but sensation isn't quite going to be 100% the same despite that. I actually think brain structure is what differs less personally but that's a different subject.
QuoteNobody's saying you can't be a guy unless you have a penis, but for a lot of people it is crucially important. Do not dismiss the technology as not "all that great" — considering what surgeons are working with (skin grafted from an arm or other body part) the results are impressive.
Well, I was at a seminar earlier this year with the local surgeon showing the most recent tech and their results and I wasn't impressed, personally. If other guys are satisfied with that it's their thing, as I already mentioned. ¨
QuoteCosmetically speaking, if done well, it's pretty indistinguishable from a 'real' penis.
Those are very rare I'd say, result-wise.
QuoteOf course there are limitations. I, too, wish there was a way to achieve a natural erection and the option to have a foreskin. For the time being, though, this is what we have and for many people it's satisfactory.
I'm not trying to change your mind, and I'm not saying that current techniques are perfect — of course they're not. just be careful about making sweeping statements like "it's not that great" — fact is, the technology itself is rather incredible, it's just a question of whether it is satisfactory to you personally. And there's nothing wrong with wanting to wait if certain factors (i.e. lack of natural erection) are dealbreakers for you. That is perfectly fine. Just try not to state it as an objective fact; this can is a hugely sensitive issue for many of the people who have had lower surgery and are satisfied with their penises.
It was my opinion so what does it matter if it's a sweeping statement or not? With that said, I have to say that I do think it's somewhat factually correct to state that tech isn't all that great compared to what it could actually be. Yes, some guys may be happy with their results and that's good for them and I was aiming for a graft myself before I changed my mind. Especially after I attended the seminar earlier this year. It changed my perception of phalloplasty a lot, and not in a good way. I would likely consider it a reality check.
Did you for example know that they are experimenting with titanium screws implants where you can attach a prosthetic device instead of doing grafts? I mean, I can't say I think that method is revolutionary or anything like that. I suppose it could be the second best thing if you want to wait for something else available but don't want a graft.
As I said, I think I'll go with a meta.
