a word about surgery

17 hours ago by gandalf_die_12te to c/mtf

so i've seen a lot of people talk about surgeries, mostly genital or boob area. i'd like to comment:

i think it's not a good idea. at least it's not as good an idea as people generally think. it does not just change your looks. it also changes the tissue, and that matters.

as an example, some women do plastic surgery to get larger boobs, but i'm quite sure that this erases a large part of the nervous tissue in the boobs, so the plastic essentially doesn't feel anything, so i doubt that it would feel good to get them touched and stimulated by someone you like.

the same is true with the penis, which is not just a form factor, but also contains a lot of nervous tissue, and i'm quite sure that it would be significantly more difficult to get an orgasm without that nervous tissue. this is just something to beware. i'm not an expert on plastic surgeries, but this much seems rather straightforward to argue to me.

You seem to be talking a lot about stuff you haven't experienced and are not an expert in.

It's such an ignorant position.

Most top surgeries (I've known 3 girlies just in my immediate circles) regain full sensitivity, the nerve issues are from pressure and inflammation immediately after surgery. It also massively depends on the incision type, how they're inserted, over vs under muscle, size compared to your natural tissues. Some forms carry more risk than others.

Same with bottom surgeries. I've known 2. All have sensation and great orgasms. I would uh, know.

Of course there is risk, but pretty much nothing in this post is true, especially the part about it being a bad idea. That's for people to decide for themselves.
