Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hi everyone. So I am new here and I guess this is a sort of introduction. I did used to have an account here as an MTF but I left quite some time ago. I had surgery a few years back after a lot of difficulty obtaining it but have started to have doubts as to whether I did the right thing.

Basically, at the time I was dysphoric and desperately wanted SRS. I remember feeling really happy on the day that I had it done and I was content for a long time but I have got to a point now am not so sure if I did the right thing.

The thing that confuses me is that I like being flat down there and I like my new appearance in the mirror but I actually miss the feeling of the old parts. For a long time I tried to forget all the fantasies I used to have that featured myself having a penis because I thought it wouldn't be healthy for me post-op. I thought that everything would just convert in my mind but they didn't. I am I couldn't climax or enjoy sex though, and one day I just let it go and I indulged in a fantasy from the past where I had my old parts. It made me so excited and I was able to climax For the first time in ages. Ever since then I have found that I can climax but I feel more and more wrong.

I don't know why I am like this. I am happy living as I am now but I miss my old parts at times. When I had them all I wanted was them gone, but after having a vagina for a while, I think I felt better before the surgery. I have got myself in a loop that I can't find a way out from. I am not sure if actually want the old parts back but I seem to have a lot of fantasies about the idea. It's like deja Vous because that used to happen the other way round.

Hi ☺️. I'm pre-surgery, so can't fully empathise, but could you  be over thinking this. If a fantasy works for you, then use it. I don't see anything wrong with what you describe at all.

If in a position to do so, you might seek out a therapist to talk through your feelings and work through them.

Good luck. X

Thank you Megan. I see your point. I suppose I am just worried that such fantasies might imply that had regret. The problem I have is that if it was partially the fantasy that caused me to want surgery, it means that I may have done it for the wrong reason.

I do miss the feel of the parts. Strangely though I do feel more comfortable being flat but fantasising about not being than the opposite. I guess maybe my fantasy is similar to a woman using a strapping on another woman, sort of. I just don't want to feel like I am odd as a woman to have such fantasies.

I'm not sure how old you are, but you may have had those fantasies for many years, your brain knows they work, regardless of your revised plumbing [emoji4]
