I see a lot of posts near the event but rarely see any updates in longer time frames.

Are you happy?

Have you had any issues since the surgery?

Can you orgasm?

Any unique hygiene issues?

What are some non-obvious post-surgery things that only become apparent when everything settles back into a routine?

    Ehh, I had penile inversion and mine has never been dry. It’s only been a year but I still have discharge sometimes.

      Same. I actually get very wet when I’m worked up haha. But yeah it varies day to day but usually I have a little bit of clear discharge so I wear liners to bed and sometimes during the day.

      That’s interesting. I’ve only heard from people who got PI that theirs is always dry. I am aware that the shaft can secrete fluids, but I didn’t think it could be that much.

        I think my Cowper’s gland is really active. I have been able to have sex without lube if I have a good amount of foreplay.

          I actually just looked it up and was going to edit my original comment but you already replied! Lol anyways, what I found was this:

          Anatomically, penile and scrotal skin have no self-lubricating potential, though penile inversion vaginoplasty may produce some sexually responsive secretory fluid when urethral tissue is incorporated and lubricating genitourinary accessory glands are retained.
