Hey everyone, just wanted to give an update where I am - day 74!
First things first, I am not happy with the overall look and experience. It has been a tough road from the healing to the tearing to the resuturing, etc! I will be having a revision done in April to have the back corrected. When it tore, it healed very bumpy and it feels and looks really gross. My Urologist said he is going to do his very best to make it feel and look much better! I would have to give the outcome 5/10, I am very disappointed.
I want to take a moment to talk about my most recent visit with my Urologist. I explained to him that when I get really erect I feel a pull coming from the scar line and it feels like my ballsack pulls forward. He told that it's going to take some time for the skin to naturally stretch, but I should continue to do the stretching techniques. Over time everything will go back to normal length and I won't feel a pull coming from the scar line. I feel when my penis is fully erect that it is being restricted and goes back in a little bit - it's such a weird feeling. I am a little over 2 inches still short, that is probably where the pressure is coming from! It's very disheartening.
Masturbation and Sex: jacking off is still new to me - I am trying to figure out what works best and what lube works for me. Does anyone have a lube preference? I am open to suggestions. The feel to me at times feels more sensitive than before, but there are times it just feels normal - could also be the type of lube? Is anyone able to masturbate without lube? Regarding sex, well, I have not had any. The whole experience and size has given me some really bad anxiety. Sex is no longer on my mind! My Urologist said that it's a rare side effect, but will change over time once the penis has fully healed. We'll see! I used to want to have sex all the time, but I don't even crave it anymore. Only reason I masturbate is to help stretch the skin.
The lack of a sex drive is very real for me.
I can honestly say that this is one of my biggest regrets! Maybe my tune will change over time, but as of now all I feel is anxiety each and every time I touch and look at my penis.
