I just see this on web when I was chatting with my ftm friend.
Do you know it?
They make it from finger (amusing idea)

Worth it just for the alarm clock photo.

That's heavy - glad I'm done without any of that...

FtM have my compassion...

... Wow. I'd freely give my penis away if it meant that a FtM guy could use it. Just ... Wow.

I've seen that site before.  Why is this amusing to you?  Not many people go this route.  It's certainly not the only phallo option out there.

To me it just seems one of the available viable options. It was only the photo with the alarm clock that I found amusing.

it would suck to lose a finger, but for some I can see it being preferable to a graft scar on the arm. A missing finger can easily be explained away.

I never said it was amusing. Quite the opposite.

Sorry, but the OP said "They make it from finger (amusing idea)".  I wasn't trying to say that you thought it was amusing.

No, but it sums why I don't think I will be getting bottom surgery. At least not for a very, very long time. Don't why it's funny though (to OP).

How interesting and quite impressive. Before I looked I assumed that the finger was donated, obviously from a donor before they died, (but I suppose a penis could be donated then too). It's a bit drastic losing your own finger, but it's a decision I'm sure they thought long and hard about.

I wonder if it could be done with a finger donor.

I also really don't get why some people think it's *that* bad. I mean, I'd rather have all my fingers, and I won't go for phallo anyway, but for some people it seems like a really good choice given all that's currently available. It's just a finger; I don't really think missing a finger means much in the face of missing something much more integral to one's identity. And quite a few people think even MTF surgery is 'awful'  and horrifying, but it's saved lives.

That is a pretty darn good option, if I say so myself. The size of it is very credible, and to have a fully functional penis for just the loss of one finger would be a good trade, if I wanted a penis (and they remake your hand into a "Simpsons" three-finger hand (I had thought there'd be a gap between pointer and ring finger))...the rigidity is "useable", but not quite the rock-hard that a cis-man would have.

I'd give a "thumbs up" to it, but I don't want that to be lopped off...

Kinda gives a new meaning to having a "boner", eh?

This would bring on all the awful array of drugs necessary for anti-rejection - it's much harder to get the body to accept someone else's tissue, even when it's a good match. It's hugely more straightforward to use your own tissue, from that point of view.

Sounds terrible. Probably unethical. And cosmetically of not much use. JMO

Did I know about it?  No, and now I wish I didn't,  I find using the third finger disturbing but also strangely hilarious. 

I know this is old but I had to say sommat.
I was aware of it due to a friend who has an uncanny ability to know really random stuff.

Frankly I really want bottom surgery but NO WAY would I give up my finger for a penis...

I just couldn't do it...besides I'd probably just spend the rest of my life thinking of it AS my finger. I dont think i'd ever really be able to get away from that and just think of it as a penis.

That is so cool. I did not know about it, but honestly haven't looked much into phalloplasty really. Looks like we'll be in the pioneering stages of it for awhile yet.

I heard about something similar done with a cismale on Ripley's years ago.  The guy said urination was exteremly painful to him.  As much as I want a weiner I would like to hold it properly with all fingers attached so I will have to pass.  I hope something improves within the next 10 years.

And now for my piano recital, as the trousers are whipped off

XD Oh dear. I had no idea but it kind of horrifies me. Good to know about, though. Even if I won't go that route.
