[Aeirs]

How has it healed up? Hopefully all good

Other techniques now done at Oregon Health & Science University include no depth vaginoplasty but I understand the surgery is considerably longer and expensive but preserves vital neurologic connections.

So proud Monika.  Hugs Shannon

I've always found this quite interesting as the entire business about letters is voluntary in most places - but not in Thailand of all places.

Yep: classic Thailand

It doesn't pay to flaunt the law there and so they follow that one pretty carefully. When I had my orchiectomy at PAI I needed both letters and a third sign-off from a Thai consultant psychiatrist which happened the day before surgery following a 20 minute cross-examination. Oh and $100

I'm not knocking the place. I love Thailand. I'd rather that they err on the side of caution too.

Oh and really interested in this thread.

Monika, you had no intention of getting a cosmetic vagina at all then? How are things healing?

You mean why don't I take female hormones? I've recently decided to start taking some.

Hi Moninka.

While I first read this thread some time ago, I finally decided it's time to write.  This morning, I had my first "trans" discussion with my doctor.  She'll be putting some info together for me and refer me to someone else.  I hope to start on hormones first and then see what surgery, if any, I'd get.  How are you finding life now, 2 years after your surgery?  Are you satisfied with the results?  Do the hormones make much of a difference for you?

As I mentioned, I'm considering the various surgical options of orchiectomy, penectomy or full SRS, as well as just staying on hormones.  This is why I'm asking for your experiences, as while there are plenty of articles about SRS here, there aren't about what you did.

Old topic but I'm very curious to know, how do you get sexual pleasure without anything on the front? I know you said you're all about anal but still, we orgasm with our genitals.

[Mandy M]

If Monika still has her prostate gland then sexual pleasure is possible regardless of absence of testicles and / or penis. The prostate is a highly charged sexual gland: arguably more so than either of the aforementioned. It would also come into play during anal sex.

Monika hasn't posted anything for a long time.  I hope that she is still well and happy. 

I understand that orchiectomies cause prostates to wither (hence the treatment for prostate cancer), so I hope that she can still have sexual pleasure if she wants it.  To an extent, I can understand someone not particularly wanting a vagina.  How many holes does a woman need if she isn't going to bear children?  Anyway, most men who like transgender women seem to prefer anal sex to using an orifice that they may perceive as dry and artificial.  However, modern vaginoplasties do at least preserve some penile tissue, so there is a potential for sexual pleasure.

Monika is so beautiful and cute, with a personality to match.  I do hope that she has found love and happiness.

Hi MaryT,
   
     You are correct Monika has not been active on this site for a little over a year now. Perhaps someone know how she is doing and can provide an update.
