id like to believe im living my life as authentically as possible. been out since 13, on T since 19, top surgery in 2020. ive grown into a new person entirely and im so proud of myself. im to the point of my transition where my transness has no say in what i do, usually. its just a thing i dont have to worry about.
since the beginning, ive been questioned about bottom surgery. even right after i came out and went to gamestop, i told a guy that worked there my new name and pronouns (i was pals with him prior) and he said something along the lines of "youre gonna get 'the surgery' right? cus that's the only way you can fully call yourself a guy" or whatever. i thought it was very weird. i just said yes to end the interaction. and after, the thought of bottom surgery has been kind of a... meh. i never cared. i could deal w having a pussy, whatever. periods sucked but once i was on T consistently it didnt matter. i tried an STP packer, and i didnt like it. too messy for me and uncomfortable. packers in general are uncomfortable and im too paranoid of looking like i have a boner bcus idk how penises naturally sit.
im 25 now and have just recently started thinking about bottom surgery, bcus another trans guy i knew got his. at the same time, ive been in a relationship with my partner going on 4 years. they are afab and nonbinary. i have had a weird relationship with sex for all my teenage and adult life, because of multiple traumas and other shit.
im learning to finally have a healthy sexual relationship with my current partner. but now ive hit a huge snag: i have absolutely no drive.
ive been off T for a while because my doctor is in Boston and i hate going into town for it (im not very close to boston and i also dont like going outside). esp bcus of work, its hard to find the time. so any drive from the T is just gone. ive felt it naturally a few times here and there, but not nearly as much as my partner wants.
then this realization hit me: i cant enjoy sex. i just cant. i hate anything inside me, even if it feels good, its just weird or hurts. we use toys, vibrators, whatever and thats fine for them. but its not for me. i feel nothing with a piece of silicone. and yeah, half the fun is seeing my partner happy, but seeing my partner happy and all im doing is getting a really tiring arm workout the whole time theyre enjoying themselves, then after i have to lay back and get myself off while they hold me or maybe touch me or something (which i already feel weird about being touched bcus .. i dont like my dick being touched in a pussy way but theres not really much to do abt that unfortunately...) and "enjoy" myself separately from them after theyve already cum and the heat has died down a bit. its like missing something fun because you were at work, but you literally see it right outside happening. it sucks.
i get no enjoyment out of sex anymore. i find it a chore and avoid it because i feel nothing. it feels like i get nothing out of it. but imagining being able to actually put myself inside them, feeling it, and possibly even cumming at the same time and not having to just lay next to each other, like 5 miles apart? that sounds ethereal. but ill never get that. at least it feels that way
as i write this part im genuinely on the verge of tears.
this isnt about feeling like a real man, this isnt about proving my masculinity. ive already done that without the hardware. but i cant make love to my partner the way i want. ive never cared about this sort of thing before so strongly and bottom surgery has always always been an afterthought. "oh maybe one day!" "idk its just not for me" or whatever. but i feel like.. im missing a part of me that should be there.
i wanna jerk off. i wanna feel my partner and even if i cant feel them because of sensitivity complications, i just wanna know that IM inside them. not just a piece of silicone or plastic. not something attached to me by a shitty plastic strap. skin to skin. i want to be able to slip inside the way any man would want to. i dont want to just keep imagining, bcus i cant. i need the real thing.
thinking about it, having a dick, thinking about how i DONT have one, the feeling of hopelessness in my chest, its all so overwhelming. i feel like nothing.
i feel like im always going to be nothing. ive always been totally fine without it and been able to work around whatever complications there have been - but now suddenly its extremely important? i dont get it. but i just wish i was normal. i wish i was born the "right way" or whatever. i know realistically i could get this surgery, i live in a state that would likely pay for it. but idk where to start. who to call. i feel like i just got lucky with finding a good top surgeon.
idk man i just. im so fucking tired of being like this bro
