Hey hey all! TW about surgery questions regarding SRS parts and stuff like that.

spoiler

I have a question that I don’t really know where else to ask. I have a specific set of dysmorphic concerns. Not everything kicks off the feelings, but some things always do.

One of the things that always triggers the feeling is testicles. I fucking hate having them, seeing them, feeling them. It’s easily among the worst (or tied for the worst) things to deal with. I’ve looked at the possibility of seeking an orchiectomy, but a very small part of me is afraid that doing something like that but not going for “full SRS surgery” will just cause people to treat me differently. The question is only becoming a bit more real lately to me now that I may have the opportunity to actually get the surgery in the coming year or two.

Maybe it’s a bit silly or whatever and I know gender and all of this is really complicated and more just up to us individually, but I guess I’m just curious what others think about all of this.

Has anyone done similar? How has it changed your dating life afterwards? Has it affected you in other ways? What kinda considerations are there for something like this?

    Do what you want for you. How many people are going to see your genitals? How many of them are going to care if you have balls or not? If they care, is it a big loss?

      Girl, I’m a slut, so many people will see, hahaha. I guess you’re right about not caring whether other people care or not, though. I think I just wanna know because it would change how I think about it before I make the decision (as much as I hate to admit it).

        I think I’d be a lil sad if I couldn’t gobble a girls balls but like, I can’t see that being much more than like, a preference💅 if it’s a dealbreaker were they worth your time?
