    returning to this, out of cursed curiosity, how does it actually feel doing that splinting? i can’t imagine it’s comfy.

      It’s not uncomfy. I find most pressure on that area is largely interpreted by my senses through a strong contextual filter and I perceive the context as neutral-beneficial so it doesn’t really bother me.

        that surprises me, interesting. thank you for the explanation!

        i suppose it’s like if you gently push your tongue onto a side of the cheek, and then push on that cheek with your finger. at least, that’s the closest analogy my mind can make… longing for the surgery, honestly.

        still, surprising that there would be a counterindication against doing that if you have a new vagina, even if it healed a long time ago. >:(

        since you talked about feeling like the other parts have their kind of benefits - i wonder if other people also sometimes wonder what it feels like to have the opposite part (beside the dysphoria). do you have that too?
