The "Wonderful" Subject Of Tucking

[VeronicaLynn]

Let me start by saying that I identify as genderfluid and lesbian, I've been on HRT for 8+ months, and frankly, I like my penis. I feel like I am quite literally the only person that feels this way.

To get to the reason why you clicked on this to start reading this: tucking. I don't want to ask how to do it (I know how, and do it reasonably well); i want to ask if I actually need to do it. Like i said above, I like my penis and so i ask, why do I have to hide it? Why do I have to desperately smooth out my junkular region?

I currently go to a university and I am quite literally in the most accepting place I've known. Still, when I want to wear like really short shorts, what would happen if I didn't tuck? Can I do that? I volunteer at an LGBTQ+ center, I help all around at other LGBTQ+ friendly things, and yet i still feel like i have to hide a part of myself because of overarching societal binaristic norms. I feel like whenever I tuck, I try and hide a part of me, and it feels like I'm body shaming myself.

Anyways, yeah, that's my rant. If anyone feels the same or has anything to contribute: please do.

I'm also genderfluid and don't hate my penis. I don't tuck, but I do find some women's pants and shorts are bit too revealing due to being tighter and especially being a thinner material. I'm OK with a bulge, a full outline is a bit much though. I mostly wear women's pants and shorts that are a thicker material like jeans, and have a zipper or at least a fake zipper flap, to make the outline less noticeable.

I don't tuck either. I'm not very big so its not ever an issue, I also plan on getting SRS in the next couple of years. I would just assume this is a personal choice.

Since I learned about tucking I haven't stopped doing it for ages. Yes you can still feel it, but it sort of fades into the awareness of the body as a whole rather that existing as a separate entity, brushing against your leg.
I've also found it seems to diminish the frequency of erections - I suspect it might collapse part of the corpus cavernosum. I hate erections, so YAY!
