Orch/tissue Results

[nlg1986.livejournal.com]

Hey all, still doing research about having an orchiectomy, the material I keep finding, which is so minimal and pretty much limited to folks with experiences of "i'm having an orch and plan for vaginoplasty in the future" doesn't represent my personal experience with my body and needs around transition. I guess I'm curious if there are folks here who had an orchiectomy and are into their penises, or kinda into them, and where your desire for this surgery comes in.

Also, the material I keep finding hasn't ever really mentioned anything about what happens to individual's scrotal tissue in/after the procedure.

I'm not particularly interested in the aesthetic of a scrotal tissue removal along with the orchiectomy, that's my personal preference though. I curious if folks have had surgery, kept their scrotal tissue (for whatever reason, i'd like to hear if you'd share), and essentially what it looks like. I guess I can imagine a lot of things; the tissue retracting and the scrotum/lack-of-testicles looking small (this is actually what I'm after), the tissue looking just like extra skin, etc.

Obviously everyone is different, but this lack of information feels really frustrating as it seems like my desire around transition, surgery, my body is not accessibly represented anywhere, and I guess I'm just calling out to folks to share if any of this resonates with them!
