Please for the truth. For those who had SRS with dr. Chettawut, y'all have sexual pleasure during penetration? It's very important for me...

Thanks.

You might, you might not. All surgeons have good outcomes as well as bad outcomes. Some patients have complications, some don't. Some patients follow the aftercare instructions and dilation schedule, some don't. There are too many variables for anyone to give you the "truth" you're asking for. There are benefits and risks involved, the decision is up to you.

IF your so concerned about an outcome you could always just keep the parts you got and stop worrying. Personally I didnt care what the outcome was as long as I didnt have to live with the wrong parts.

This sums it up.. There's no solid answer, it depends on a number of factors and no surgeon is really any better than any other in this respect.

Sorry that you felt this way but it's not really a healthy mindset. For some peoples, being a sexual being is a part of who they are as much as their gender identity, this is fairly normal. Also, broadcasting this kind of idea is just ammo for the haters who claims trans people are mentally ill - not caring about a surgical outcome certainly seems nuts.

I do care about surgical outcomes but I am totally aware that Chetwut is one of MANY doctors that have a very long track record of good results........ ANY ONE OF THESE DOCTORS would be a good choice for your desire to be a sexual being............

My comments were really focusing on your obsessing over the whole thing. I mean whatever doctor you pick is your ONE and only ONE shot. Again any one of the doctors with a good track record is a good bet........... BUT it is a BET there are no guarantees here you get whatever you get...........

Hi zlobnica, SRS is always a very personal decision. Sexual pleasure is very different pre-op to post op. for me it took several months for my brain to rewire its self as i started feeling sensations i had never felt before. your ability to orgasm changes so much and clitoral and vaginal orgasms are very different. its hard to compare them to the sensations of male type genitals, its just very different.

If you go through with SRS you have to be prepared for a couple of things:

1. Could you live your life fulfilled if you never had an orgasm ever again?
2. Do you feel 100% sure that SRS would fix your sense of dysphoria?
3. what is your expectation on the cosmetic outcome? your vulva will look as close to cis as possible, but different, but
    not to the point that most men would notice. If your gay/bisexual  then your cis female partners will probably
     tell the difference. How upfront do you intend to be with your sexual partners?
4. post op you many not enjoy vaginal penetrative sex, some cis women I've known don't. Are you ok with this?

SRS is a bit of a minefield, there are no gaurentees. All the post of women I've known from various surgeons have never had an issue, it is a very safe surgery these days with most expectations being met, but there is always the what if? I can only speak for myself and say that i've never had a problem with being sexually satisfied and i've slept with men and women

Contrary to popular belief SRS with a skin graft technique is not a one shot only deal. there can be complications, true, but as a back up there is the sigmoid colon technique which i am myself am looking into. I had SRS 15 years ago from a very good and popular thai surgeon with the skin graft technique but over the years I have lost depth. Other women I have know have had SRS with the same surgeon around the same time as me and have had no issues.

It is YOUR body and YOUR choice, good or bad you have to live with the consequences of YOUR decision.

I has SRS when I was 23 and at that time i accepted the fact that i could have died on that operating table (highly unlikely) but i accepted it as a risk and i was ok with that, as I could not continue living with the way my body was.

As regards to  Chettawut, I did not have my srs with him so I can't say, but there are a couple of posts here of women who did.

Please google more experiences of women who went to Dr. Chetawut, i have also heard a lot of good things about him but everyone's body is different.

Hope you find this post helpful and sorry if i seamed a bit harsh but it is a big life altering decision that only you can make for yourself.

Great! I'm glad to hear about this! But you have sexual pleasure during penetration too?

No problem for having orgasms during penetration + clitoral stimulation.
