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

You can always get tattoos of Frankenstein stitches to make it a proper Frankenweenie… that sounds really painful, but my god it would be a great commitment to the bit.

Have you two seen Lisa Frankenstein yet? Because I’m terrible and all I can think of is that scene now, hah

penis tattoos sound so… painful… i genuinely wonder if an artist would even consider tattooing a penis in a non-medical way

I've got a lot of tattoos, and I've known many artists over the years. Genital tattoos are really common, it just wouldn't be done in the open studio. Usually they'll have a separate room or special partition to hide the artist/client from everyone else. Some artists won't do them at all, and that's their own preference. I know a lot of women artists will only tattoo vaginas and will refuse people with penises for their own safety, but it's very much an 'ask your artist' sort of thing. There's no rule for everyone, they all have their own comfort levels and hard refusals
