Sorry,I didn't understand what you mean...! :P I'm from Greece and I don't speak English very very well  :laugh: >:-)

What Syne was saying was that she could not wait to have sex.  She was unable to wait much beyond two months, not the four months that was recommended.

YMMV in internet speak is:
Your Millage May Vary.  Meaning that you may heal slower of faster than Syne so your situation would be different.

Actually, you have quite a good grasp of English, my dear.  I wish many Americans had as good an understanding as you!

You'll get pretty sick of it, doing it several times a day, but over time you get to cut back. I will admit, I wasn't always that great at doing it as much as I *should* have. 0_o I seem fine. I can have sex with men fine. I have a sex toy that I use that's bigger (circumference) then the biggest dialator, and I have no problems with it. Not that I recommened you don't follow what you should, or be a slacker like me (and pretty much every other other post I I run into). Try not to slack, especially for the first few months. If you miss a turn, try to do it as soon as you can. I missed a few times before, but did what I can. If you leave it too long it's bad. The further a long you are the less risk there is, so the less you have to do it. Once a week after a year-ish is best. Follow what your surgeon says as best as you can. I'm probably lucky, I hear of some ppl slacking too much and messing up.

I know of one person who had to have SRS re-done in Montreal (she didn't take care of her self, didn't dilate, and it caused a lot of issues... six months later she was so bad she had to get a re-do, which meant skin grafts). You don't wanna re-do.

Dilating will also keep your vagina healthy.

Depends on the doctor -- I never heard of 4 months. I don't think I made it past two even. o_0 But, yeah, do what the doctor says. Doing it early was bad, especially too early. I will note that it was with a toy with someone who was careful, although 'cause things were still healing it wasn't as great as when things were healed more.

I would imagine they actually tell you to do it more than necessary knowing you will miss some.

I don't mean to be crude or anything but...if "organic" dilation works then doesn't the use of an appropriate sex toy work as well?

Are we not describing a process not unlike masturbation (if a bit more rigid in the requirements)?

Or am I missing something here?

If it is, it seems like the thing a girl could get used to ;)

Never try and dilate with a "sex toy" anytime before the healing process is complete i.e. before 6 months. Yes they do work, yes I use one (Vibrator that is), but you can seriously damage yourself using one before you are healed.

Dilation is about retaining depth and keeping the vaginal passage open, not about sexual pleasure or self gratification. Even after 7 years post op, I still use a dilator for 15 minutes a week, the fun stuff can be done in addition to that.

Understood. I also see in the Wiki that we are talking about a considerably longer period of time (each time) than I would have guessed.

I can see where that would be tedious.

Also "organic dilation" implies having a relationship, usually.  And if he can be satisfied with the dimensions of your vagina through the use of his "dilator", then there really wouldn't be any true need to go deeper/larger.  And as long as the relationship has intercourse on a regular enough basis to maintain your vagina then you shouldn't have any problems.

This is what ciswomen encounter when they have relationships with men.  It is the same for all women in that respect.

Any woman who has srs needs to become best friends with their dilators as dilation is a lifelong ritual.2
It sucks but that's just how it is.
Speaking from personal experience, I don't think sexual intercourse makes up for dilation.
Dilation is about providing constant pressure to the region whereas with sex, the penis is moving in and out. One would have to have lots of sex to make-up for dilaton sessions.

I don't think this question has been asked in here, but does dilating hurt? I'm really new to this and I'm a long way from SRS, although I'm very positive I want to go through it, I'm just curious! :)

Initially, it can be quite uncomfortable.  Your first weeks/months the dilation regimen calls for dilation several times per day in order to ensure that the tissues heal in the proper place.  Think having your ears pierced.  You must wear your initial earrings for about six weeks to cause the hole to heal correctly.  It is the same with being post-op.

As you go along, the discomfort becomes less.  After about 2-3 months there is virtually no pain and after that it actually can be pleasurable.

But don't sneeze while you have your dilator in.  Otherwise make sure there is nothing breakable where it lands.  :D

haha thanks for being so open with us and giving us information I couldn't find elsewhere <3 It makes me all the more excited to think of when I'm at the stage to get SRS, if I choose to/can afford it. Which I think is going to be the case. =D So excited haha. I don't even mind the idea of dilating for ever. Especially since it lessens. I have a feeling I'll be "dilating" quite often on my own hahaha.

Yep I hear that dilation becomes your LIFE right after surgery....but gets easier as you go from what I hear.

I also heard rumor that having penetrative sex (some point after fully healed of course) counts as 1 dilation...I wonder if that's true?

What do you do when you want to have sex with someone who is bigger than your depth? :S

Dr Bowers states in her after-care instructions that penetrative sex counts as one dilation.

You change position a little so that he can't get in all the way.
