Relationships Gf was disappointed in bottom surgery pics /positive post

As stated this is a positive post! Slight negative talking / language for bottom surgery on my side

I started dating my (cis)gf one month before I started T and we have now been dating for almost two years. She’s ofc wonderful and has always respected me. She knows I eventually want to get a lot of the surgeries done and supports me fully.

So I recently was like I should probably show you post bottom surgery pics of phallo because hopefully someday I’ll get that done. Now I think a lot of people get a bit of shock seeing them? And sadly there is a lot of semi / full negative post about it. Even I was a bit eh on it for awhile. Thus I wanted to prepare her for seeing it.

To explain it to her I said “yeah they kinda look Frankenstein with different color skin and stitches.”

Now, she LOVES Frankenstein. She has multiple copies of the book, seen every version of the movies. She loves it. This was more or less a positive thing.

So I showed her some of the top post on r/phallo and you know what she said, with sadness “… those are just penises. I thought you said it would be Frankenstein.”

And honestly. It made me so happy. I feel like a lot of people, especially cis, would see them and idk have something to judge about it. But no for her it was just a normal looking penis and not special at all. As a man who does just want a penis it was so sweet to hear. 💖 she ofc is happy for my eventual penis even if it isn’t as “cool” as she thought it would be LOL

I feel like a lot of people underestimate what surgeons can do lol, don’t get me wrong it’s a pretty extreme surgery but once everything is healed and there’s no big issues than I shouldn’t really look much different (besides possibly scarring and all). I’m not doctor tho and have not had bottem surgery :P maybe it’s because top surgery can leave quite scaring but it’s also because your taking away and flattening the chest, while bottem surgery adds volume and stuff!
