The problem is that your reasons may not be worth the risks. I know that self-image, aesthetics, and identity are indeed important. However, there are risks from any surgery (have you read some of the accounts of complications from Dr. Kimmel's surgeries? or have you read how many women die during ...

Thanks, Kristoff. Had I read more beforehand, I would have seen that Jesus also calls this scenario BIID.

What you are discussing as Genital Dysphoria is more apty described in terms of Body Identity Integrity Disorder ...

Raymar,

Thanks for your reply. I specified "genital dysphoria" rather than "gender dysphoria" because 1) gender dysphoria is probably recognized as a more legitimate reason to part with the testes than simply hating one's genitals and 2) my personal dislike for my testicles is not related to any ...

Sorry, I see this thread is about a month old, but, boy oh girl...Impotent4u, you caught my attention with the mention of t-girls with flaccid equipment. Care to share the link you found such treasures on?

I see little mention of your wife trying to work with you other than conceding sex once or ...

Reference ranges for total testosterone from my own labs:

Arup: 400-1080 ng/dL

Labcorp: 241-827 ng/dL

Quest: 300-1000 ng/dL

Free Testosterone:

Labcorp: 5 - 21 ng/dL

Other labs allow for a lower "floor" of total testosterone (around 200 ng/dL).

As others have said, your free T and total T are ...

Was it just the penis? It isn't specific. They should consider this powder to regrow the boy's genitalia. It works! I was watching this last night and couldn't believe it. If this powder or patch becomes available, I'd like someone to try it after a penectomy. If it worked on a finger tip, why not ...
