I’m not really sure how to explain this but I’m going to try my best. I am 8 month post op stage one RFF. I have light displaced sensation on the right side of my phallus. I feel it up in my scar by my hip. I also have light sensation at the top near the base that I feel in my penis. My doctor recommended putting a vibrator on my natal parts to orgasms but this also feels like too much and doesn’t feel good. Also too much vibration and it almost makes me feel numb. I’ve been orgasming by just moving my penis back and forth and kinda pushing it in against my natal parts. But I’ve also struggled with sex drive lately… it’s hard for me to get turned on and even see myself as sexy. I’ve always struggled with self love but I think it’s harder without good sensation. I also feel like having so many people see me naked and looking at/handling my penis, it’s almost lost the feeling of it being a “private” part. Before surgery only my girlfriend had seen me naked and that was only a couple months before surgery. But now I feel like a bunch of people have (including my parents and a whole lot of doctors and nurses) and it almost doesn’t have the same effect anymore. I did recently start going to therapy again so I’m hoping I can find ways to help. But I guess I’m just saying all this to see if anyone has/had a similar experience? Did you find anything that helped bring your sex drive back?

Had a standard urethra dilation yesterday. It was a very easy surgery. Total time was probably an hour but total operating time was like 15 minutes. They just put a catheter balloon in the expanded the scar tissue I have causing a narrowing. I was still able to pee pre op but I had some pooling behind the narrowing causing leaking throughout the day. I was originally told I would have a catheter for three days post op but ended up waking up without one which was a huge relief. I was originally recommended the optilume dilation but my insurance wouldn’t cover it because they consider it “experimental”… and self pay was a little over $20,000 which is not possible for me. So I went with the standard one which was covered by insurance. I am not sure yet if the procedure was effective because I still have a tiny bit of bleeding. But hopefully it worked and stays that way 🤞.
Also I highly recommend getting Amend for nausea before surgery. Everytime I’ve had it I’ve had zero post op nausea. One time I actually went straight to the chick fil la after surgery 😂.
Just wanted to share my experience because I haven’t seen it talked about too much on here.
I have my consultation for implants next month. It’s crazy it hasn’t even been a year since stage one! That was surgery 7 yesterday (including top surgery and hysterectomy).
