NSFW spoiler for sexual chat
I’m four years post-op as of this month and nothing has really changed in terms of sensation since around a year or two post-op. My nipples react to temperature, emotion, etc., and I can *definitely* feel a lingering pain deep within the scar tissue when I snag them on stuff or hit them. I can’t feel anything else except for excruciating pain. I can feel the skin once I get a few inches away from my nipples, but I have no sensation at all once I get close to them. My nipples weren’t removed- I didn’t have grafts and the only incision on the front of my chest was a small one to un-invert one of my nipples.
I had a sexual experience with someone close to me not long ago and it involved them touching my nipples. It became really apparent to me that I really can’t feel *anything* and quite frankly it was uncomfortable and a bit painful. I guess I thought that these types of procedures were typically supposed to preserve nipple sensation and this has been a bit of a disappointment. I’m incredibly happy (to say the least!) with my results but just a bit confused and the teeniest bit sad about this. Especially after that experience. Wearing a shirt is euphoric and I don’t inherently have *numbness*, it just doesn’t feel like *anything* when feeling *something* there was a big part of my sexual pleasure if that makes sense. Just feeling a bit frustrated I guess. I don’t really have any hope for the future, especially since nothing has really changed four years out. I’m not sure if I just healed wrong or weird or something. I’m unsure if I was wrong to expect to have sensation post-op. Not sure if there’s anything I can do.
