I am making a second attempt to post a response. I lost the first because of some 'unusual' behavior of the touchpad on this netbook. That's what I get for writing while naked with the computer balanced on my right leg.

I am still naked, but I doubt this is something any of you would want to see. Post surgery at home care involves leaving the genital area exposed to air as much as possible.

Hi dragonfly,

Slowing down and taking it easy is one of the most difficult things for me to do. This does not mean I cannot relax. I typically relax, though, by being active.
This morning, I was sorely tempted to drive to the botanic garden. I'm missing part of my favorite season at the garden. So I distracted

Hi River,
Thanks for the congrats, my friend.
The last time I saw you, you mentioned how much happier I am now than before I transitioned. My life continues to get better.

Just so long as I never see you in those leathers again!....
Leathers??? Oh, you're referring to the attire of that male construct I used to be, when we first met!

When we spoke earlier this week, you mentioned how tentative and nervous I was back then. Thank goodness I've changed quite a bit!
Wait a minute, though, I've seen some quite fetching leat

Dilating is still a chore, although it continues to slowly get easier. Until today, I often distracted myself from the discomfort and slight pain by:
Listening to music, especially Bach
Reading online news and
Working crossword puzzles
For some reason, these just weren't working during my first of four dilations today. Then I thought 'I'm dilating with a substitute penis, why not see if looking at photos of men, some naked, helps?' So I tried something new for my second set of dilations late this morning.
Although masturbating to thoughts or images of pre or post op transsexuals is 'officially' listed as a socially responsible way to 'get off,' (
http://www.eunuch.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=20453) I have no idea if it is socially acceptable for an avowed transsexual to masturbate with a hard dilator while looking at very suggestive and enticing photos of non-trans men in various states of undress. Yet this is exactly what I did and, without authoritative guidance, I have no clue if I am 'normal' or should feel deep shame for my behavior.

The ethics of masturbation guide does not seem to address where transgender folk fit, although it specifically addresses how very appropriate it is for homosexuals to masturbate to all kinds of things.
What I did find is that while dilating and looking at these photos, I had at least four vaginal spasms. They happened automatically and were quite enjoyable. Still being sort of new to this whole vagina thing, and although I suspected what the spasms meant, I wanted independent confirmation. What I found is that these spasms are an involuntary sign of orgasm. I viewed this as very good news.
