Yes, owning a neo vagina is like owning a dog.
By this I mean that it is a full time commitment.
If you've never owned a dog, cat or any vertebrate larger than a rabbit, you may be unprepared for the time and energy that your vagina requires.
For example, dilating. Three times a day you need to take your vagina for a 'walk'. You need to make sure you do this every day, so that your vagina doesn't get unhappy and unhealthy.
You also need to feed your vagina, with a steady supply of condoms, sanitary pads, lube, cleansers and ointments.
Your vagina will often dictate what activities you do during the day, because you need to make time to schedule your walks and feeding times.
Your vagina will also make a mess; you will need to do laundry more often and have a steady supply of clean underthings.
Your vagina may also disappoint you; like pets, they don't always turn out like you expected or behave as you hoped they would. You may need to put extra time into your vagina for it to perform how you desired, or you may need to accept that your expectations were unrealistic and learn to love your vagina, no matter how flawed it may seem.
Vagina.
Not for the faint of heart.

ROTFL....
Nothing I can add to that  :)

It would make a great T shirt  :)

Yep.  That about sums it up.  Perfect analogy!  :)

Haha I love it!

Lol!

3 out of 4 :-D

Well I know that you didn't need it to do the number 4, I'm sure your naturally sunny disposition does that on an Olympic level.

Uncalled for, Tekla.  Play nice.

Cute Vexing.  Really cute, but knowing the procedures involved, very true.

And here I thought I was being nice and showing Xmas spirit by not going for the 'well give it a bone and let it gnaw on it for a while before it goes out and buries it in the back yard.'

And, for the record, I didn't go near the worming jokes or the flea collar material either.

I give serious replies to serious questions regardless of who asks them, and deal with silly analogies in a silly way regardless of who makes them, if my humor was better than original writer, then they need to improve.  Really, when that analogy was written the 'fetch' and 'flea collar' didn't flash on them?

That was totally uncalled for, Tekla.   If we can not be respectful, leave the thread alone and keep your comments to yourself.

        *laughs* I love it!

Pain in the ass that it will be, I would rather all that than what's there now.
What's there now is zero maintenance but it's gross and disgusting and doesn't belong.

Good thing I always wanted a dog.. but I would prefer this instead so I can understand how you feel...

Quote from: tekla on December 25, 2010, 10:39:06 PM

A few days after surgery? Maybe...

After the doctor did the first cleaning, I made the comment "If more women looked like that, there would be more gay men in the world"
Went over like a ton of bricks... (American to Thai humor does not blend well)

cute I likie lol

lols funny analogy indeed.... and tekla was funny for once and got busted for it! that's just.... triply funny >__________<

Same here.  What I've got is low maintenance, but it is extremely out of place.

I just ignore mine. Ew..

Why did you bother getting it then?

So guys can give me a hard time.

That just cracked me up somethin' fierce. Long as ya happy with it though, anything is worth upkeep if you're happy with it, reminds me why I hate being born with one though (One of many reasons least), high maintenance things they are, even if different for MTFs and those born with one, the principle is still similar XD.

The only problem I can foresee is it might want to follow you 'round and go everywhere you go

Pam. Things are really dark for you at the moment. You've been treated like crap by some guy and feel so very alone.

But you have experience now. When you start to pick yourself up again and you will, you'll put that to good use.

I know you feel so negative about what you've done. But you are a beautiful woman.

I'm sorry love, but don't try to turn back the clock or ignore yourself. You made a mistake with that one. Many of us have done it, some of us, repeatedly.

Even the ones you are born with still require mantanance, get inflections, need pap swears, etc.  So not maintanance free like having outie parts.  Does hold a tampon to absorb that mess produced by that organ connected to it.

Quote from: mm on December 27, 2010, 08:00:16 AM

I think many mtf's don't seem to realize that.  They do the required maintenance as suggested by their surgeon for a specified period of time, i.e. baths, douching, etc., then complain about odors, infections, etc. once their maintenance routine stops.  As mtf's, there is one thing that we have to realize--our vaginas are not self cleaning like natal female's vaginas which means we have to be just a little more diligent in our routines.

At three months post, I was supposed to stop the sitz baths and douching as per Dr Brassards instructions.  I still douche nightly before bed with a saline solution and I still have an evening bath.  I have no strange odors and I have no strange stuff dripping/oozing out of me.  Take some lubricant and let it dry on your skin--just think how this stuff collects inside of you if you don't clean it out.

I used to think that the woman who lives above me was weird as her bath was running two-three times a day--now I know why.

'Outie' parts are not maintenance free. They still require cleaning and they also get infections.

My last ex was almost paranoid about odors.  I was trained in Zen and the Art of Vaginal Maintenance by her, even if she did not know it.  And I am looking forward to practicing my training.

according to Dr. McGinn they do become somewhat self cleaning, which is one of the reasons she strongly recommends against douching in any form. I'm just repeating what she told me. Still it's best to follow whatever regimen your own surgeon has set up because they will know what's best for your particular situation. I just keep myself clean washing in the bath (under the clitoral hood is a particularly sensitive spot to keep clean) and have not had any problems with discharge, odour, infections, etc. Dr. Mcginn showed me inside mine several times as I was healing using a mirror and a speculum, and there's never been any dog breath from my little Xoloitzquintle (Mexican hairless) lol

Well, just in case you ever run into any odor problems, here's some advice from Livestrong.com

How to Remove a Smell From the Vagina

STEP 2
Insert a fresh clove of garlic into your vagina by wrapping it in cheesecloth and attaching a string to it for removal. Garlic has anti-fungal properties that can bring yeast in check, which can eliminate vaginal odors. You can also make a garlic paste and apply it to the vagina externally.

Well played, Fairy Girl, well played.  Have 5 points.

For the male side, we do have to keep it clean, especially those that are uncut.  Odors and overall funkiness can occur if we don't keep it clean.  So, some of us can totally relate when it comes to feminine hygeine products...especially me, who more often than not has to buy pads and tampons for my mom when she's low on funds.

Mine is like a little chihuahua that just won't shut UP and go occupy itself with a chew toy or something so I can get some peace already!

Ahaha sorry. I know this post isn't directed at my particular gender identity but I couldn't help myself lol ;).

I'm glad that you and your neo-vagina-quasi-puppy get along though. hehe.

LOL that was cute Space  LOL

I second all of that. I've never once douched, or done anything more than external cleansing. Maybe TMI, but no complaints from my girlfriend on the smell or anything else.

WELL WE KNOW I WONT BE DOUCHING !!!! :"))) LOL LOL I HAD MY LAST VISIT WITH HER TODAY AND IM MORE THAN READY !!!!! OH YEAH

right now i can only dream of having my own vagina

When I first misread the title of this thread it was rather bothersome to me... Sometimes still is... Comparing girly parts to a dog just isn't right in my book

There, I said my piece to express my feelings... That's all

Dogs are noble, beautiful creatures - as are vaginas :)

But the title is appropriate. If you cant care for a dog then....

At my brothers wake, I saw a female friend I hadn't seen in 20 years.
She gave me a hug and said "welcome to high maintenance". She was right  :)

Quote from: Valeriedances on January 23, 2011, 08:06:05 AM
I agree. I find it bothersome as well when I read the list of thread titles. Just my gut reaction when my eyes fall over it.

What would you prefer?
- like owning a cat?
- like owning an armidillo?
- like owning a hamster?
- like owning a horse?
- like owning a Utah raptor?
- like owning a shoggoth?

miniature giant space hamster.   named Boo.

For a lot of people it's going to be like owning a sloth.

Why a sloth?

Because a sloth is my favorite animal.

Understood

Okay, I know I'm a few pages late here... oh well... but I just could not pass this one by.
