SRS is not that bad when you get it with a good surgeon and it can ease your dating life and your safety in public as a trans woman. : transmaxxing

I'm post op mtf. I'm 14 months out of surgery and I recovered pretty well. I had penile inversion vaginoplasty done with a scrotal graft. I have 7 inches of depth and a beautiful vulva. My clothes fit much better, I retained all of my s*x drive, I didn't face any nerve damage and I love looking at my body now when I'm in front of a mirror or under the shower. The vagina just fits much better than a peepee. On estrogen you inevitably face erectile difficulties eventually. With a neovagina I can enjoy penetration. I'm bisexual. I love being penetrated by both cis women and cis men. I can wear a strap on if I ever have a desire to penetrate. I don't though.

I often see horror stories about SRS pictured as potential outcomes. While the first few months your vulva is bruised and dilation consumes all your available time, it's not that bad afterwards. Starting at 4 months post-op I didn't feel any discomfort worthy to be mentioned anymore. At 6 months my body was mostly done with healing already and my brains had remapped my perception of my s*x organs already by that time. I was penetrated by a young man in his 20s at 7 months post-op and it just felt heavenly. It was very enjoyable for both of us.

I also produce quite a bit of self lubrication from the cowpers' glands. Dilation is not that painful. It's more of a nuisance. It doesn't hurt. Sometimes I replace the dilator with a dildo and it feels amazing to stimulate my vaginal walls.

Orgasms are mind blowing too.

I would say that for me SRS changed my life for the better. It always me to live as close to female as I can. Without this procedure, I don't think I could have had the experience of womanhood I'm having now.

My dating life is much easier post-op. Cis lesbians are willing to date me about 7 out of ten times. They would never have agreed were I pre-op, I'm pretty certain of that. Genitalia play a big factor in dating lives for most people. Straight men with very handsome features are also more likely to be interested in me these days.

My SRS was performed by dr Burin in Bangkok by Preecha Aesthetic Institute. My operation took place in Piyavate Hospital. I stayed in Thailand for 3 weeks until flying back home. I payed 9000 dollars USD for my SRS. I paid 5000$ for other expenses including letters, flights, accommodation and food and drinks, transport and hair removal on my scrotum.

I'm very happy with the results. My vulva looks very natural.

I just wanted to tell my story to tell you that SRS is not as horrific as some people with hidden agendas love to portray it. A well healed result looks quite realistic. Always choose a surgeon with good credentials!
