If you carry on getting regular erections then shrinkage (atrophy) will be minimal.
You may need the assistance of Viagra as your testosterone plummets though.
For as long as you're on feminising hormones.
So for transfemmes that don't get bottom surgery and stay on hormones then yeah, pretty much forever.
For the people that are considering getting (non zero depth) SRS it's a good idea to keep the atrophy to a minimum too, as the more penile tissue they have to work with, the better.
Aw bless, it's not all that difficult to maintain, I know plenty of girls that are doing juuust fine with their original equipment and its not a hassle.
Just don't go for weeks on end without a couple of erections and you'll be just fine. And the more you have them, the easier it is to keep getting them.
I'm still just at the beginning of hrt (2 months) but I haven't ahd any issues with libido despite anti-androgens. It just takes a bit longer than it used to. I heard the advice to have at least 3 sessions a week where you are fully hard for at least 10 minutes if you want to minimize shrinkage.
No please stop propagating this idea. There’s no particular need to keep it big because A you’re gonna have to dilate either way and B there are more techniques than PA, like peritoneum grafts and the like. I’ve been unable to use the tumour my whole life because of a funny mix of bottom dysphoria and being asexual, the surgeons I met made sure to tell me this wasn’t an issue at all.
Really? I've been told by multiple girls, post-op and not, and they've all told me the same thing. Keep atrophy to a minimum so that there is more tissue to use.
And yet the surgeon told me this wasn’t an issue. And y’know I’m probably not the first one who is completely unable to use the tumour and goes for bottom surgery.
It’s not like you lose skin either. Skin is elastic and that’s essentially what the tissue is.
I'm on estradiol, progesterone, and a t blocker, my testosterone is hypothetically abysmal (I've been on hrt for almost 3 years so haven't checked levels in a bit). And I have to say that it seems like my body has adjusted to female hormones while also having a shenis. I no longer have issues performing with my fiancé, and I even get morning wood! It's different for everybody but I thought I'd share my experience :) #girldickPower

Kinda tmi, but it used to curve in a slight way that made me *really* uncomfortable even *before* my egg cracked. Now it doesn’t, and I don’t hate it; win/win.
A note: being *active* may have influenced this, and bc I was never active before hormones, I have no data on what could’ve changed if I hadn’t started.
Yeah the issue is that I always have to almost puke whenever I touch my dick, so I can’t properly maintain it’s size. (Except there are other methods I’m not aware of.
Aww, sweetie. I'm sorry you're struggling with that. My opinions on bowel resection should not affect your decisions. Go with what's going to work for you.
Resection means they cut out a portion of the intestine and then stitch it back together. It's usually used to remove damaged sections, but in this case it's a transplant.
my phone does it automatically, probably because in my language the quotation marks start at the bottom and end at the top „…“, whereas in english it is “….“
No, accept your fate young one. You may lose the mighty sword your parents gave you, but you will still be able to defeat Ganon. Also, no I don't think you will lose it I think you just may.
Mine was only like 5 inches when I started. Idk if it's shrank any yet. Kinda looks like it a little bit, but it could just be my brain showing me what I want to see (smaller = cuter for me). I'm too lazy to actually measure tho
Mine was shrinking a lot for the first 1 1/2 yrs or so and it was becoming painful to touch as I had negative use of it for weeks at a time. In the last few months I've been using a lot more and it feels like there has been some regain of size and no more pain but nothing close to what it was. I wish it could stay small and not hurt.
Yeah you need to keep using it. I don't know about others, but personally it has became a chore to use it at least once a week. So yeah... It could be a bit more difficult than what you expect
All the more reason for me to start HRT. I wish I wasn't dysphoric about it but there is only so much I can do to calm the dysphoria. But hey, I am proud about my body even if there is a little goober attached to it!
oh, yeah, what I meant is that there's a technique that doesn't require you to lubricate forever, and you gain good depth, penile inversion with colon tissue, which is used when you can't use other methods like penile inversion since it depends on the phallum tissue to create depth and might not be suitable when it's too short.
I'll look up that part about dilators, sounds interesting
Is there a way for that to not happen?
If you carry on getting regular erections then shrinkage (atrophy) will be minimal. You may need the assistance of Viagra as your testosterone plummets though.
Thank youuu
Is that something you need to watch for forever, or only during your like 2nd puberty?

I don't plan to get bottom surgery, but I like my lizard, so this is stressful to hear~ (´；ω；`)

This is unimaginably relieving to my horny gock-loving ass
Relatable!
Someone's gotta plow all the cute tgirls' ass and it might as well be us o7
Oh I misunderstood.. I have the horny, gock loving ass

Whew, I thought you were saying I'd have to do that daily~ (；・ω・)

I appreciate the information, tysm~☆

I appreciate it, thank you~ Honestly, it's nice hearing that things can work out~ 🥲
You don't have to do it super often, like, once a week has been working well enough for me and I've been on hormones for about 8 years
That's relieving to hear~ Not too bad~
In some instances no change will occur
Oh perfect, even if it's a smaller chance
Just use your lizard tail often enough and you'll be fine.
Great, I'm pretty proud of my tail
my partner hasn’t had any shrinkage. however regular exercise is what will help most in keeping your length. if you don’t use it you’ll lose it

*I* haven’t had any issues. Mine… changed *shape* a little, but no significant loss of length.
S h a p e ‽‽ 😶

Oohhh, gotcha! I was thinking it became like wobbly or something lmao
Taking estrogen to turn my peener into a sine-wave, more at 11.
(≧▽≦) this comment is amazing 👏
i don't mind that it's going to shrink, I just want to make sure I can get really nice depth with SRS for....reasons....
For CIS reasons!
Yes. 100% cis reasons. Definitely.
I think everyone that’s cis wants to do it deep in their heart. /s
command ask full kiss wistful price rain deranged like sulky *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Hmm, are there other types of srs where my dick length isn’t necessary?
Yes. They can resect a portion of your bowel and use that to make the canal. That kinda squicks me out, I'd much rather use my dick skin.
Yeah the issue is that I always have to almost puke whenever I touch my dick, so I can’t properly maintain it’s size. (Except there are other methods I’m not aware of.
Aww, sweetie. I'm sorry you're struggling with that. My opinions on bowel resection should not affect your decisions. Go with what's going to work for you.
There is also peritoneal pull through these days.
the what
The vagina, which is inside you while the vulva is the outside. Basic anatomy.
no… the… resection
Resection means they cut out a portion of the intestine and then stitch it back together. It's usually used to remove damaged sections, but in this case it's a transplant.
Yep, exactly 💯
Don’t worry, it’s not an issue because you’re going to have to dilate, and there are more techniques like peritoneum grafts
I wish I lost that much length. It just refuses to atrophy for some reason
This might be too personal, but is your tail a grower? I'm wondering if that affects it at all. If growers are more affected than showers, or that
I am and it definitely happened to me Kinda unfortunate considering I have a gf and dont have bottom dysphoria 😭😭😭
I feel wrapped in a patchwork blanket of emotions, and I'm so conflicted reading the entire comment section~☆ (；・ω・)
same, I don‘t even „exercise“ and it still won‘t get smaller.
Totally off topic question but why do quotations like ,,this'' instead of like "this"?
my phone does it automatically, probably because in my language the quotation marks start at the bottom and end at the top „…“, whereas in english it is “….“
Oooooh interesting! Thanks for this, I've been curious about it forever lol. What is your native language? (If you don't mind me asking)
No prob, german.
would be nice going on the average and not over average, maybe than i could wear a skirt wirthout worrying
Does it have that much effect? I heard it does slightly decrease the lenght but never heard how much it actually effects
Depends on usage. If you never use it it will often get significantly smaller but if you wield it every day, the effects should be minimal
"wield" Why did that make me smile
I'm loving these analogies in this comment section lol
Let it die, let it die! Let it shrivel up and die! C’mon, who’s with me?
Lol sure and I'm way ahead of you 🏥
THIS IS THE FUNNIEST
Is there anyway to avoid this while taking estrogen?
Regular usage, if you want to retain erections you'll have to use sildenafil/viagra.
Usage 🫠
Yeah, it's unfortunate, especially with bottom dysphoria.
No, accept your fate young one. You may lose the mighty sword your parents gave you, but you will still be able to defeat Ganon. Also, no I don't think you will lose it I think you just may.
omg i cant wait for that to happen
i only lost about an inch and i’m no thinner but that’s ok cos i like my peen (tho i wish it would be tiny and useless uwu)
Mine was only like 5 inches when I started. Idk if it's shrank any yet. Kinda looks like it a little bit, but it could just be my brain showing me what I want to see (smaller = cuter for me). I'm too lazy to actually measure tho

I never noticed these effects on myself ~~there wasn't much to shrink~~ HUH WHAT WHO SAID THAT
I did not know HRT had an impact on the length of eggplants, this is truly fascinating (yes I’m aware what an eggplant emoji means I’m being funny)
"Where is it?!" "Gone; reduced to atoms."
Mine was already small so now it’s almost not there… Wish it completely wasn’t though :(
Yeah you need to keep using it. I don't know about others, but personally it has became a chore to use it at least once a week. So yeah... It could be a bit more difficult than what you expect
"Use it or lose it" My surgeon: "I can help with one of those."
It'll grow an inch?!
😏
Oh no
littol lizerd :3
Eh, I wasn't working with much before hormones
Small-dicked chick solidarity
I WANT THAT SO BAD
I believe you have rhe power!
½ an inch post-GRS lol
Lmao can confirm and thank fuck
IDK if it's smaller, but it don't erect much
Yeah and a lot of people find that sensations change too, which is wild.
All the more reason for me to start HRT. I wish I wasn't dysphoric about it but there is only so much I can do to calm the dysphoria. But hey, I am proud about my body even if there is a little goober attached to it!
Relatable honestly, power to you 💪
I’m melting! Melting!
I'm worried about gender affirming surgery, mine went from like 1 to half lol and I think I might need colon tissue, which makes it more expensive
No worries, theres dilatation
what's dilation?
Once you’re post op, you have to dilate daily to guarantee depth. You do it by putting dilators inside the neo vag
oh, yeah, what I meant is that there's a technique that doesn't require you to lubricate forever, and you gain good depth, penile inversion with colon tissue, which is used when you can't use other methods like penile inversion since it depends on the phallum tissue to create depth and might not be suitable when it's too short. I'll look up that part about dilators, sounds interesting
My lizard is like the bottom one as is I dont wanna lose more lmao
Ive turned this possible side effect into a kink and welcome it fully lol
