Super soft! I love the color and the fabric. I wish they had more of the MonsterCock style in modal for the boxer briefs! Hoping they make one in orange!

Just discovered it was official underwear day today! Sporting my Wildman T modal blue briefs, monster cock style today. 10/10 comfort.

Without a doubt, Wildman T has become my FAVORITE underwear brand. They fit absolutely perfectly - better than any brand I own. So happy they exist.

These are the grey monster cock style boxer-briefs.

The fabric and cut has been a friend during the hot days… keeps things nice and cool!

Bikini Brief, purple, D-pouch

Hello everyone! I am officially 2 years post op Stage 1 ALT phalloplasty! I had surgery with Dr. Chen, Dr. Safa, and Dr. Watt. My stage 1 included skin grafting, UL, burial, vaginectomy, phallus creation, and scrotoplasty. Stage 2 was glansplasty and testicular implants (about 1.4 years post op), and my last surgery a few months ago (about 5 months) was to upsize my testicular implants. Here are my updates.

As always feel free to ask any questions and I will link my previous updates from my journey below in the comments.

**DONOR LEG** : (pictures 2 and 10) Absolutely no issues. I do moisturize my scar at least twice a week after I shower with quality lotion and let it air dry for about 10 minutes. If I skip the lotion for too many days, the scar will get quite dry and irritated by my pants. It has become pretty much skin color and while the scar has texture, it isn’t super noticeable to the touch (it looks more than it actually is) and it is very soft and smooth thanks to the lotion. I did do stretches and scar massage once I was able to after my stage 1 (I will link this post below), which I felt really helped tremendously for my mobility. In terms of sensation, I can feel most things - both deep and light touch on my scar. I will say, sometimes, too deep of pressure hurts since there is not much fat between the scar and the muscle below. However, I can NOT feel hot or cold temperature on this part of my body anymore. But that is not a big deal and fair trade off for me. I just have to make sure I don’t put a hot pan or anything on my leg. Though, if something cold touches me, I cannot feel the cold, but once the next is removed and the cold looses contact with my scar, my nerves feel like they’re…. Sizzling? It does not hurt, just feels really weird for a little while after. For exercise, I have had no issues doing all the workouts I do, running, jumping, or building muscle. Sometimes the nerves misfire and feel like they are itchy, but I cannot scratch it since the feeling is deep inside… so I just slap the area lightly and it passes.

**SPLIT THICKNESS GRAFT** : (pictures 3, 4, and 11) As the pictures show, it has healed up great. It pretty much is skin color. I also moisturize this part of my body twice a week with lotion after showering. If I don’t, it will get VERY dry and itchy and start to have these weird red, pimple like dots that are annoying (they go away with time).

**PENIS** : (pictures 12, 13, 14, 18, and 19) I am really happy with how things turned out. My surgeons did a brilliant job. While I sometimes get in my head about my length (which I think is a pretty normal penis-owner problem), I am quite satisfied. I am about 5.5 inches (13.9 cm) long and about 5.5 inches (13.9 cm) in girth at the tip and about 6 inches (15.24 cm) in girth near the bottom middle and base. I do find with my length, not all underwear is created equal… but again, it is a fair trade off for me in return to feel at home in my body and finally euphoric when I look in the mirror at my naked self. I will make an underwear post eventually, but have found that Separatec and Wildman T are the best for my size. Real Men’s Apparel (D pouch) are good too… but slightly too snug for my liking. I still wear them occasionally though. Despite having ALT, I did not have any debulking done and do not plan to. My pinch test was about 1.5 cm around. (I am wearing Wild Man T briefs in picture 20.) I have noticed the GIRTH of my penis does change slightly (by about 0.5 inches or 1.27 cm) due to temperature. When it’s hotter, it expands by about that much and feels a little more swollen (it’s not actually swollen, just feels like that in my hand, it’s hard to explain) and it will shrink by that much too when it’s really cold out. I didn’t expect this. Length doesn’t change at all, or at least nothing to notice.

**SCROTUM** : (pictures 15 and 18) Really glad how my scrotum turned out. I currently have medium sized testicular implants in (which is apparently average human testicle size). I got small ones last year and the medium ones earlier this year. Both implant sizes really helped my scrotum become more flexible which has helped A LOT with mobility and side sleeping! It was very rigid and close to my body after stage 1 which caused side sleeping issues… but with time and implants, the skin has loosened. The reason I upsized my implants was to prepare for the ED pump I will be getting in the near future. My surgeon did not want to risk possible erosion for the pump, so he upsized me now to help my scrotum stretch a bit more so I can accommodate the pump bulb without worry. I have also noticed my scrotum will be closer to my body and more…. Rigid … if it’s very cold outside or right after I orgasm which is really affirming and I didn’t know was a thing! Similarly, if it’s super hot, my scrotum will be looser and seem to hang/flop around more.

**HIP INCISION** : (pictures 5 and 9) This healed up super well!!! It’s barely visible at this point. I sometimes put lotion on it, but not very often. I mainly was very careful with bending when it was still fresh for a few months so I didn’t stretch it. This came from my glansplasty as my surgeon took a skin graft from here to place behind the ridge point of my penis due to the Norfolk method of glansplasty they use.

**GLANS** : I had glansplasty about 1.4 years ago now - while some of the ridgeline has flattened a bit (which sometimes makes me a bit sad), overall, it has stayed fairly prominent and I am, overall, happy with it! I don’t see myself getting a revision. My surgeon said that about 3-4 months is when most flattening tends to happen, however, until you reach a year, it can still occur. Something I did, which I felt helped, was after I no longer needed to do the xeroform after my glans creation, I would wrap a piece of light/thin gauze (without doing it too tight, looser wrapping, but secure) behind my ridgeline to help make sure my pants and underwear did not press on it too much and promote total flattening. I did that for about a year (though I get paranoid, so sometimes I still do it if I wear tighter pants/underwear).

**SENSATION** : (pictures 7 and 8 for sensation charts) I included some charts depicting my sensation and I actually am really amazed by the progression between even a year post op and two years post op! It seems that my sensation tends to get more rich and deeper as time goes on. The front middle part of my scrotum does not have much sensation, but it’s not THAT noticeable to me and makes sense given the trauma of scrotoplasty. My erotic sensation is pretty amazing and, essentially, feels like an enlarged version of what I had before/my buried bits. The MOST sensitive parts seem to be the head and the glansplasty/ “circumcision like” scar behind the ridgeline which is really interesting! I would not have guessed that pre-op. I have erotic sensation all over my entire penis. Tactile sensation is also present but a bit more patch and less noticeable. Temperature is also present on most of my genitalia with cold being a bit more easy to register… though, again, the middle of the front of my scrotum doesn’t feel very much.

Sensation really has developed over time and I can sometimes even feel the nature of the fabric of my underwear or a towel or even a breeze on my penis if I can standing pantless in the wind or in front of a fan or something. I will say, I did not realize how much mental headspace mattered to sexual sensation prior to surgery. If I am feeling low emotionally or tired, my sensation quality is reduced … even though it could very well become super intense if I am in a good mood and well rested. I feel that is the human body, but it is way more noticeable now due to my genitalia being larger and more external.

I did take about 500 mg of Lion’s mane supplementation every day after week 2 post op stage 1 for about a year and a half. I take it intermittently now … but I have noticed that if I take it too many days in a row, it totally KILLS my libido and my sex drive disappears. I also won’t be able to get aroused very easy at all. Which is great if I need to really mentally focus on things… but terrible if I want to be sexually active lol.

**VAGINECTOMY / PERINEUM** : (pictures 16 and 17) Never had any issues with this area, thankfully. Everything healed up very well and the scar is barely noticeable. After my recent upsizing for my implants, however, this area did get swollen and tender for about a month and then it went away. This area is very senate erotically and feels quite pleasant to touch lightly during intimate moments.

**URINATION** : Everything is going well for the most part and I had a successful UL hook up. I did suffer a small case of wound separation and a fistula after stage 1 which healed up completely after 9-9.5 weeks. However, my body overhealed a bit and so I have a small stricture here at the base of my penis inside the UL. However, I can live with it. It only causes me to pee a bit slower than average (average is about 10 - 22 seconds, I take about 25-47 depending on how much I need to pee out). Plus it burns if I am very dehydrated. I could correct it, but since it causes me barely any issues (no major ones), I am deciding to leave it alone since some strictures are finicky and can come back worse if you fix them (my surgeon quoted a 5% chance of that happening .. so small chance, but not 0). I did have pelvic floor tightness after stage 1 that later had to be addressed through pelvic floor therapy (truly a game changer - I also now hold stress in this part of my body, so I still do these stretches/exercises a few times a week when I can). I still dribble a little after peeing, but most of this has been resolved by mastering the milking technique and dabbing with toilet paper after urinating. I feel 1-3 drips post-pee is fairly normal for people with penises, so I’m not concerned. However, this is worse if I sit to pee so I try not to urinate that way unless I MUST (like when I go #2). I don’t know if it’s how the plumbing is bent when sitting or my little stricture, but I’ll have about 7-9 extra drops after milking if I sit to pee. I will occasionally have burning when I urinate (without infection) if it’s SUPER hot outside, if I drink heavy alcohol (like spirits), or eat a lot of fried food that can take 72 hours to go away… which is weird. However, staying super hydrated makes this go away faster or I can avoid it that way too.

**SEXUALITY** : Overall, I am quite satisfied. However, I will be pursuing the erectile device (preferably, the pump) in the near future. I still haven’t figured out how to master the cobain tape method nor have I found a sleeve that accommodates my girth without causing me to worry about blood flow restriction or completely diminished sexual sensation. In terms of orgasm, I can orgasm and have been able to since after a few months post stage 1. I will say, I still have not had a penis-only orgasm and part of this is my fault for being lazy and not being patient enough and overly focused on just “getting off”. However, I get closer every time I do try. And if I had a BIT more time last time I attempted it, I probably would’ve achieved it… but I rushed it that evening.

Maybe TMI, but right now, I only stimulate my penis which feels very good and can bring me to the point near orgasm, but I haven’t crossed over the threshold this way yet. At this point, I typically will switch to stimulating my burial a little (I’ve needed less and less of this though lately so- good sign) which brings me to the point RIGHT BEFORE orgasm and then I will switch to stimulating only my penis in order to fully orgasm this way. I do this in hopes of teaching my brain to orgasm this way. If I was more patient, I probably would’ve achieved this by now. Which makes me a little frustrated with myself, but oh well. I am goi to work on this going forward because I feel I can achieve this goal in the next 6 months or so as long as I don’t give in to cumming the “easy way”. However, I do wonder… if I could have successful penetrative sex, would I have already achieved this due to difference in type of stimulation? Maybe. I heard of one guy on here taking 3 years to fully organs from only his penis…. So I am not getting too concerned or depressed over this.

When I get aroused, I will say it feels like an enlarged erection. It’s very cool. Arousal begins at my base in my burial and I can feel blood rushing in my perineum area as well. Things feel like they swell. With my increased sensation and nerve development, these feelings have extended into my penis, despite the lack of erectile tissue in my penis and no physiological response. It is really fascinating and feels great!

Back with some more of the colored cotton briefs I own. Loving these lately.

Previously bought this colorful cotton pack of *Seperatec* briefs - have been letting them sit at the bottom of my underwear drawer since I’ve been wearing the bamboo rayon ones more often… just remembered how comfortable these are as well.

Heia Norge!! Ro! Ro! Ro! 🇳🇴 🥁

Hoping Norway makes it through! The team has been doing great this World Cup so far!

This pair always makes me think of wintertime in Norway so I wanted to wear it today in honor of the game!

Much respect to Brazil nonetheless though!

Personally I prefer the briefs when hitting leg day for a bit more freedom. Loving the grey for obvious reasons. lol.

Love the bamboo fiber boxer briefs! Stays dry and cool and is super soft.

Mesh Nylon Boxer Briefs (7in) with V-fly with D sized pouch - lately, these have become my FAVORITE for the gym. Great airflow (especially as the weather heats up), comfortable, and keeps everything in place. Plus easy access thanks to the v-fly, so going to the bathroom is quicker and I can get back to my sets.

I don’t mind no fly, but I really do like how the newer lines have v-fly options and have come to prefer it when possible! I also really love the silver waistband with the rhino icon! It’s my favorite of RMAC’s waistband styles! It’s the little details for me.

Life is rarely simply black and white… oftentimes it encompasses fields of grey.

Honestly - one of my *favorite* pairs. I love the red!!! And the red and black on the waist band is a super nice touch.
