NSFW.. duh
I don't like being erect, which a combination of Estrogen, and occasionally tucking tape, has made almost a non issue at this point. Its also likely that since over 2 years ago, I've also intentionally begun to attrophy(?), which estrogen appears to have sped up (only been on it less than 2 months). Basically, I stopped masturbating while erect, which was easy because it was so dysphoric, and I am still able to orgasm regularly through less traditional means. (I'm aware some people use chastity equipment for this purpose, but I did not, and I don't know the long term effects of such devices)
My cis GF "fingers" my soft equipment, which can be felt in prostate somewhat as well as nerves at the skin surface, and I can can "O" for over a minute straight, once was even over two minutes. The few people I've attempted to explain this to IRL are always confused, so im not great at explaining it. (If you have Questions, feel free) Also, I'm still open to anal sex, which shouldn't need further details lol.
I plan on having a vaginoplasty within a year or two at most which will be nice, but for the moment, I've got a healthy sex life and am happy with it.
Surface level warning that you probably already know, but I'm an anxious individual: Vaginoplasty uses penile tissue for depth, so if you let it atrophy, you're losing depth. Not a dealbreaker, but just in case, you should know.
Other than that... What do you mean people are confused? What about? I'm confused 😅
FYI: this is not true of PPTV (peritoneal pull-through vaginoplasty), which seems to be one of the better vaginoplasty techniques currently, as it's less finicky than the type of vaginoplasty that uses penis skin.
