Peeing in the woods - UL update in comments!
Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I posted about my UL on here! This is gonna be a happy one.
So, as some of you may know I had a complicated UL recovery. Fistula, strictures, repairs, catheters, re-routes - you name it and I’ve probably experienced it. My most recent repair (4 months ago) included hooking up my urethra again, and closing the temporary re-route.
I have since developed a minor stricture, but it’s nowhere near as bad as I expected. I basically thought that strictures always got worse and ended up in getting an SP again, but turns out they can just be mildly inconvenient. I don’t always really notice it myself, but I pee slightly slower than is desirable. My urologist tells me he can easily fix this in the next procedure. If it would stay like this, it wouldn’t really be a big deal either. But, peeing faster does sound nice so I’m all for it!
My UL is probably one of my fav things about my dick. It’s just so convenient. If I go for a long walk, I never have to worry about bathroom access anymore. I’m a very outdoorsy person, so this has been a major upgrade for me. Instead of cutting my trips short because I might need to pee, I can just pick the first tree I want and take a leak. It’s something that brings me a lot of joy.
When out and about, there are frequently instances where the ability to STP comes in very handy. I love urinals, it’s great to be able to skip the entire bathroom line at events and just walk in and out in 2 minutes. It’s also great for places with dirty public toilets, such as gas stations, the gym, or public transit.
At home I frequently sit to pee, and I feel great about that too. While I love being able to stand, it’s not something I always want to do. I love how it’s now a decision I can make freely, instead of one my body makes for me. I’m very happy that sitting has remained comfortable. I like the wiping proces a lot more too: just a quick dab on the tip with a single square. When standing I usually just shake and squeeze and I’m good to go.
Overall, UL has been everything I hoped it would be and I simply couldn’t imagine going without it. I am beyond relieved that everything finally works. It can absolutely be an exhausting journey, but for me it has been very much worth it. I have found that I love my penis a lot more now that I can pee from it.
Picture is from my walk in the woods today! Again, it makes me so happy to be able to just pee like this. Also please don’t beg to see my dick: if I had wanted you to see it, I wouldn’t have censored it.
TL;DR: UL journey sucks, but worth it in the end!
