Hi girls,
I want to write this (hopefully) not too long 6 year update on my SRS (I'm old school and prefer sex reassignment surgery, as I feel it more correctly describes what was done to me).
Firstly, let me start off by saying I don't regret going to Dr Suporn. I think he is an amazing doctor, whose surgery changed my life and let me live semi-normally for 4 years. I enjoyed an active sex life with a heavily self lubricating vagina: I have not once, in the past 6 years used lube during sex. In fact, I self lubricate enough that I have had, well, the other type of penetrative intercourse, using only my own lubrication. I can also orgasm vaginally and clitorally. The appearance overall is quite nice, men certainly seem to think it's beautiful, but I won't lie, there are unattractive aspects (mostly the "gaping" that I think is common with all if Dr Suporn's vaginas, which is ironic considering how extremely tight we tend to be).
2 years ago, however, when I was 4 years post op, I stopped dilating for a period of around 3 months. Stupid I know, but I had my reasons. Anyway, when I started again, I realized I had lost around 3 inches of depth. You can imagine my devastation. I had gone from being able to sleep with just about any guy, to not having a functional depth. I have since regained 1 inch, but that's it. At 6 years post op, I am left feeling like dilation is as much a part of my life as it was around 6 months post op, and I. Am. Hating. It. So much, in fact, that I would hesitate to recommend Dr Suporn's surgery to anyone. Dilation for me was painful and extrmely time consuming from day 1. Well, day 1 of dilation, that is. The first month is supposed to be "easy", because the tissue isn't contracting yet. That was NOT the case for me, as my tissues began contracting immediately after thr packing was removed, and I have had to fight for my vagina ever since. Dilation certainly became more bearable a few years after surgery, but it never became easy. It's relatively easy now (compared to the absolute torture it used to be), but I am dilating tima depth that's 2.5 inches shallower than it used to be, and it's certainly still uncomfortable. I am also still extremely tight, to the point where every man comments on it. They don't mind it, in fact they love it, but it's uncomfortable to me. I also haven't been able to enjoy sex since I lost so much of my depth, because I just feel like my vagina isn't adequate anymore. Going from almost 8 inches down to barely 5 makes a huge, huge difference.
In conclusion, Suporn's approach has, in my experience, been far superior to the traditional penile inversion technique, but with very real trade offs, and countless hours spent dilating. However, if you have a well endowed partner, you may be able to have a better experience than me. When I was having sex reslly regularly, as in several times a week, everything was perfect (but still very, very tight).
