Okay, so this might sound like a really weird question but I am so curious. Will my new penis float after I'm all done with the surgeries? (Phalloplasty)

Welcome to Susan's Place. I have to admit this is the first time I have heard that question and I am only checked out on original equipment. I suspect the answer would be if you were nude, it would act as if it were weightless and enter the position that the skin and structure would force it to were gravity not acting on it I would suspect that would be a horizontal to downward position.

Was hoping a post-op guy would answer this. It's an interesting question. Hope you don't mind a speculative answer.

The type of phalloplasty (and erectile device, if present) could affect this. A semi-malleable rod, for example, probably prevents buoyancy. Inflatable erectile device, probably not. Forearm or ALT phalloplasty, mostly skin and subcutaneous fatty tissue, probably floats to some degree. Phalloplasty variations which use some amount of muscle tissue in the construction probably wouldn't float as easily.

According to my DuckDuckGo results (I will not have Google knowing I searched for this, nnnnnope) it's normal for a penis to float in water. So if you were concerned and not just curious: A) non-surgically constructed penises float too B) for this very reason, there's bound to be men's swimwear designed to prevent aquatic awkwardness.

Still pre-op unfortunately, but my thought process was similar to this.

This is an interesting question that I never thought about, thou I don't know it makes much difference if it float or sinks in the end as it will be close either way.  I just wish I had one now so I done with surgeries and could tell you the answer.

I happened to stumble upon the same exact question in a Facebook group this year and their answer was yes, it does. In fact the question they asked was "is it normal if my junk floats after phallo". So I guess you could assume that it will. Unless you have an erectile prosthesis, I´m not sure how it would work then.
