what is Fleshlight

It's a masturbation device. Google it. They sell it direct and on Amazon. There are a lot of different models. I bought the "Stoya Destroya." It is very good!

My favorite and go=to stroker is the Tenga Spinner. Easy to use and clean. Gets me off every time. It's about $25 on Amazon.

Everything is still going extremely well.

My ball sac is high & tight when I wake up, which is normal for a grower like me. The ball sac still seems larger than pre op but all of the swelling has seemed to have gone away. However, the left nut is still tender to the touch but not as much as before.

Cycling is easy because the pump seems to have settled perfectly between my balls. No problem pumping one handed. It's taking 25-30 squeezes to reach max and 5-10 more after 30 mins or so to keep it that way.

Deflation is easier now too. No problem finding the button and holding it down w/o it slipping between my fingers anymore, due to its position, practice & better technique. Still need to use 2 hands to deflate; 1 to hold the button & the other to squeeze the saline out of the implant.

Despite having a Touch, I still find it more effective to hold the button down for 8-10 secs (instead of just 1-2) while squeezing my dick until most of the saline is out and, when I release it, I can still get the rest of the saline out before the valve closes. When I only held the button for 1-2 secs, the valve closed too early and I had to press it again 1/2/3x's to fully deflate the implant to where I can feel the cylinders krinkle in my hand. However, no matter how much I deflate it, the implant will auto inflate to about 20% to a chubby 5" L x 5.75" which is bendable but neither hard nor soft. My doc said this is normal.

I stopped trying to do the Perito exercises because I didn't see the point of trying to bend a dick that can't be bent in order to try to make my dick bigger.

However, I am masturbating, which my doc says is as good as the Perito exercise. My doc & Perito say that f*cking is also as good but I'm between fuck partners). I'm masturbating 2-3x/wk for about 15 mins after a cycling session and I just started using a 2"VED tube at low (5mg) pressure for 10 mins after each cycling session. Both of these things should help to facilitate any growth that's possible.

I doing 2 cycling sessions per day which are no lasting about 1.25-1.75 hrs including masturbating &/or VED use.

Apart from the immediate increase in girth from 5.5 to 5.875" post op, there has been no noticeable increase beyond the 5.75" pre op length yet. After using the VED, my dick, it increases in size to 6" L x 6.25" G but,this increase is temporary and goes away after awhile, as it did when I used the VED preop. The difference is that continued use should increase the cylinder size and the dick size overtime.

We'll see . . .

PS: Just tried rowing for the 1st time post op. Almost 2 months w/o doing any exercise. Pre op, I'd row 10k meters/day, 5 days/wk in 2 sets of 5k meters in about 36 mins each. Just tried rowing 1k meters today. Not entirely comfortable but not painful. 1k was enough for today. Will gradually do more each day until I get back up to my pre-op form.

7 weeks (49 days) post op: 03/14/2023

Everything is still progressing well. Nothing concerning to report. Just a few nuances that may be unique to me or applicable to others; not sure which.

My ball sac is now always "high & tight" like it always was pre-op. As a grower, I never had "low hangers."

All of the swelling in my scotum has finally gone away (it took a long time) but there's a spot near my left nut that's still tender to the touch. Not concerned about it but I do hope that goes away soon.

Despite all of the swelling having gone away, my ball sac just seems "bigger" which I notice because my sac rubs more against my thighs which I have to dust w/talc to reduce chafing. Didn't have this "problem" before.

My guess is that the addition of the pump and the tubing in the sac is what is causing this and that it will never "go away" because of it. The way it is now will probably be how it always will be from now on.

I am still cycling 2x/day for about 1 hr each time. Once in the morning in a hot tub and once in the afternoon or evening in front of the TV w/a hot pad over my dick.

I've added 10 mins w/my inflated dick in a 2" VED @ 5mg pressure (which is very low) during my morning cycling session which temporarily increases the inflated size of my dick from 5 3/4" L x 5 7/8" G to 6" L x 6" G.

Not much of a difference but I can definitely feel the additional stretch while on the VED which I'm hoping will reduce the time needed to get the extra length/girth that would happen normally while cycling w/o it.

The size of my dick deflated vs inflated isn't much different either. Deflated it's 5" L x 5 3/4" vs 5 3/4" L x 5 7/8" G inflated.

It's real "chubby" and nice and round in the hand when deflated. However, as a grower, the new size of my dick deflated is still a change that I'm getting use to.

I am also masturbating w/a Fleshlight every 2-3 days or so during the morning or afternoon cycling session which my doc says will be just as useful in "breaking in" the implant, as actually f*cking or doing Perito exercises would.

However, I also still occasionally do the Perito exercises when my dick is deflated (about 25 bends 90 degrees in each direction) which should also help to "break in" the implant.

Could hardly bend the implant when inflated and heard Perito say in one of his videos that doing the exercises deflated was just as good as doing them inflated. So, that's what I'm doing.

I've never felt any "pain" during the recovery process but my dick sometimes still gets a bit sore from cycling and I sometimes still take some Tyenol & Ibuprofen to take the edge off.

I'm back to my regular exercise routine which involves rowing 10k meters/day, 5 days/wk in two 5k meter sessions of about 35 mins each; 1 hr 10 mins rowing/day.

I was approved to have sex 4 weeks ago but I'm between f*ck partners didn't want to rush it.

I'm about ready to start looking for new f*ck partners and I just got a prescription for Truvada to use for PrEP from my PCP for this purpose.

Never ever caught an STD or HIV before and I don't want to start now. Safe sex all the way!

Great to see your journey and progress!

Just to note, the extra length and girth is only within the VED chamber?

I noticed you talked about removing a testicle etc.. If you actually wanted to, you could go on Testosterone Replacement Therapy, at your age, you would be a good candidate, it would also improve your quality of life (increased libido, energy etc).

I also noticed you were interested in removing the suspensory ligament for extra size. I had the TEP done with incisions for extra length and girth.

Great to see your journey and progress!

Thanks!

Just to note, the extra length and girth is only within the VED chamber?

Wrote a post directed to you detailing my postop VED use in another thread.

I've been using the VED 1x/day for only 10 mins at 5hg in a 2" inner diameter tube (6.28" circcumference) for 2 weeks and the size of my dick when inflated is now 6" L x 6" G which is a 1/4" gain in L and a 1/2" gain in G over my preop size of 5 3/4" L x 5.5" G.

I noticed you talked about removing a testicle etc.. If you actually wanted to, you could go on Testosterone Replacement Therapy, at your age, you would be a good candidate, it would also improve your quality of life (increased libido, energy etc).

That was an early random thought when I wasn't sure there was enough room in my tight sack for my nuts and the pump.

The pump fits in my sack but the tubing going to the reservoir on the left does not allow my left nut to fully descend as the right nut does.

My left nut is also still a bit sensitive/tender (7 wks postop) from whatever abuse it suffered during the surgery but I expect that to go away shortly.

------------------------------------

My T levels are "normal" and I have no need for T supplements.

Also since I was previously diagnosed/treated for prostate cancer (Pca), it's not a good idea for me to take T supplements because T feeds PCa and excess T could cause a recurrence of my PCa.

Many men whose PCa recurs often have to undergo androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with is the opposite of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in order to eliminate T from their system.

I also noticed you were interested in removing the suspensory ligament for extra size. I had the TEP done with incisions for extra length and girth.

That was also early talk which I decide, after some research wasn't necessary either.

2 months; 8 weeks; 56 days post op: 03/21/2023:

Again nothing much to report.

So, this is going to be my last weekly report and I'm going to switch to monthly reports from now on.

My next report will be in April and last report should be in May when I'm scheduled to have what I expect will be my final post op appointment with my doc.

------------------------------------------------------

Things are quite routine for me after 2 months post op and the cycling sessions are just feeling like a "chore" now.
Something that I know that I "have" to do but would rather not have to do, if I didn't have to do it.

Still cycling 2x/day for 1-1.5 hr/sessions, including some VED use and masturbation but even those additional things are starting to feel like a chore.

I still feel no pain when inflated but I still feel the "stretch," which I guess is a good thing because it means that my implant & dick are still "growing" but I just wish I could be done w/it now.

The only unusual thing that I seem to be experiencing that I haven't noticed others mention are my "sweaty balls."

In addition to being somewhat larger (to me) because of the implant, my balls almost always now feel sweaty, which requires me to dust them regularly w/talcum powder.

If that's the "worst" that has happened to me post op, then I think I'm fine. LOL!

---------------------------------------

The other unusual thing that I've been experiencing, which is assume is unique to me, is that, because of the size and lack of flexibility in my deflated implant, I can only row confortably on my Concept 2 rower, with my dick hanging loose and pointing straight ahead between my thighs and out of the fly of my boxers.

No way that I can wear tight lycra shorts, as I normally wear rowing, comfortably with this thing hanging between my legs. So, it's a good thing that I only row at home alone. LOL!

------------------------------------------------------

I measure my dick almost every day (not because I'm hoping to be "bigger" but because I prefer to rely on data when speaking about such things) and the inflated/deflated measurements for my dik do not differ much.

This morning I measured 6" x 5.75" deflated and 6"x 5.875" inflated. So, the girth is about the same as it was immediately post op and the additional 1/2" in length I attribute to the VED.

The girth can get as large as 6" after VED use but, as w/normal VED use, those gains are temporary. However, the gain in length seems to be permanent and hasn't varied for a couple of weeks.

So, I'll continue to use the VED moderately to promote more growth in L & G.

------------------------------------------------------

On the other hand, while that's encouraging, there's never been a time yet when I don't "notice" the implant's presence while it was deflated.

Apart from its size/bulk is the fact that it remains semi-hard and relatively inflexible and the fact that I can feel some soreness from it which I believe is an after effect of the cycling sessions.

My doc said that I needed to cycle for at least 3 months post op, which will correspond w/my final post op appt w/him in May. I hope by that time that the implant will become less noticeable to me.

------------------------------------------------------

Not that I'm complaining.

Of course, I'm thankful for getting the implant and for the fact that I've experienced no problems whatsoever during recovery.

Even if I never use it to f*ck anyone again, just having it is such a boost to my sense of self and self confidence as a man and it was worth it just for that.

I'm just hoping to see the day when it will just be a "normal" part of me (like my preop/preED dick ws) that I know is available to use when I need it but not something that I need to be preoccupied with.

We'll see . . .

------------------------------------------------------

So, unless there's something worth mentioning before then, the next report will be:

3 months post op on 4/21/2023

[Franklin_F]

Hi sswinsfba,
Thanks for the detailed journal, very informative. I am 11 days post-op, and have been experiencing the same "ball/thigh friction" problem that you described. Did you end up finding a good solution to this? Thank you!

30 days Post-Op -- 1st weekly report: 02/23/2023

Recovery is steadily progressing.

The swelling & soreness in my ball sack has almost entirely gone away but the ball sack is still slightly enlarged and can be felt when sitting. I started to develop sweaty balls which chafed against my thighs. I initially tried using vasaline to reduce the ball/thigh friction but switched to talcum powder which works better.

The tenderness in my left testicle and the pubic area just above it has also diminished. It has not gone way entirely yet but is much better.

The surgical incision has entirelly healed and is already becoming less visible but there's still an annoying (to me) remnant of the surgical suture on the left side of the incision that hasn't gone away yet.

For comfort, I bought some "kinky" briefs with a hole for the dick in front which provides support for the sack but allows the dick to hang free; much nicer fitting & feeling than the cut out jock strap I was fitted with at surgery.

I no longer feel any soreness in my dick and can place it in any position w/o discomfort.

My ball sack now sits high & tight again as it did before the implant, which I believe is typical of growers like me. This can make it difficult to grasp the pump, which still requires some pulling to achieve the best position of the pump in my hand before attempting inflation & deflation.

Inflation has always been easy but deflation can be more fiddly but I've gotten the hang of deflation now and can usually do it in just 1 try but I find holding the deflate button of the Titan Touch down continuously more effective than using the 1-2 sec "touch" method.

My dick still "self inflates" to about 20% after full deflation (when the implant feels "crinkly" in my hand) which makes it chubby but still bendable. My doc said that this is normal. So, I'm not "worried" about it but I wear thin nylon cargo pants and the "bulge" down the leg of my choice is always visible.

I haven't gotten any stares that I've noticed from either women or men yet. LOL!

The girth of my dick grew noticeably after implant from 5.5" to 5.875/6" immediately post op but there has been no measurable increase in length which is the same as pre op at 5.75". My doc says to expect some increase in length and some additional increase in girth as long as I continue to cycle at least 2x/day for 3 months post op. I think it's already thick enough but I would like some more length which make it look more proportional and less "chubby."

Although approved for sex and other activities after 23 days post op, I still haven't returned to rowing (which is my exercise of choice) because of the swelling/discomfort in my ball sack. Not as much of a problem as it would be cycling but still a problem. I plan to try to start to actively row again next week -- 5 weeks post op.

I'm between GFs and haven't had a chance to actually f*ck yet but I have already masturbated a few times and I just ordered a new Fleshlight masturbation toy (to replace the old sticky one that I pulled out of storage) to use until I find a new GF &/or sex partner.

Unless something worth mentioning comes up before then, my next weekly report will be posted here on Thu, March 2nd.

Hi sswinsfba,Thanks for the detailed journal, very informative.

You're most welcome!

I am 11 days post-op, and have been experiencing the same "ball/thigh friction" problem that you described. Did you end up finding a good solution to this?

Only thing I've come up with is to dust my balls (when necessary) w/talcum powder (that I put in a screw top jar) w/a large makeup brush to keep the powder from getting all over everything.

If I get a chance, I'll post of pic of my ball dusting set up. LOL!
