How does it feel (after surgery)?
As a woman with chest disphoria, I feel like my boobs prevent physical intimacy with other people for me. It has been a huge stress factor in my last relationships because I absolutely did not want anyone to see let alone touch my chest, and I went through some bad experiences when those boundaries weren't respected.
I love the idea of being "both flat", it seems like you can be so much closer to each other in a hug with nothing "in the way"... I'm really hoping I can get to a place where I feel euphoria and would be okay being touched there when my chest is flat(ter). The sensation I imagine, or partially remember from before puberty, of being able to rly feel your chest bones/muscles with your hands is just so much better than those lumps of fat 😭
Am I having off expectations here, how do you experience this if you've had surgery?
Do you enjoy being touched on the chest after surgery, did it take getting used to? I feel like I still might just be just as afraid afterwards because it was such a habit to avoid this.
How much sensation is there in the skin - especially those who had double incision surgery - is it numb for you? Is it only numb in the scarred areas? Do you even feel light touches, or only pressure?
Did reality live up to your expectations?
