transHey all - I have a quick question about erections.
Like so many other trans women, I don't get erections as often as I did pre-transition. When I do, they usually hurt, like my genitals are being squeezed tightly. I've been dealing with this by gently tugging on my foreskin as I'm getting erect. Stretching it out has worked pretty well to reduce pain.
As for my question - would the pain stop happening all together if I were to get circumcised? It seems like the problem is stemming from too-tight foreskin, so removing the foreskin might fix things. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks for reading!
