As a straight female dating a trans man These videos are so helpful in what to expect and how to be supportive and super hopeful that my boyo will be happy and still get pleasure
Same!
@@mel_vxn it's hard as he has a community of support and obviously what he is going through is much harder but there really isn't support for someone like us going through it and trying to support them x
Do you have a sister friend or cousin by chance ?
Thank you for making this. I can imagine how personal this is for you. Amazing job explaining things!
Thanks for watching!
You're such a handsome man. I came to your story late but glad to hear you're close to it coming to a close for now.
Aw thank you 😊
@@Codytalks11 No worries, man.
These videos were really really interesting and you explain the process and emotions very well!! I think you are incredibly brave and very grounded and you should be very proud of yourself xx
Aw hey thanks!!
Thank you for doing what you do and for posting all of this!
Well Done! Keep Educating!
I feel like the people who say it doesn't look real have only seen stage 1 results cause with all the stages and with tattooing I've seen some results that look really similar to that of a cis guy
This could be very true! Usually pics that are posted are pretty soon after surgery too. They get better looking with age haha
@@ElPollitoLoco23 the head can be tattooed as well!
@@0MGitsRayRay to give it a more red/pink skin tone? Or what are u referring too? Ive thought about doing this but havent found much info on it.
@@ElPollitoLoco23 yeah, tattooing the phallus is mostly color correction adding pinkness to the skin, darkening the head and adding veins.
where are photos of the final product?
First off - you are amazing for being so honest!!
Next - if you want to do something about your brows, consider trying micro blading - a great artist will make you brows look full and natural...
and it’s actually really easy and just feels like scratching..
My one eyebrow is lower than the other, and makes my face/eyes look wonky...
I try to pluck away the brow to lift it but because I’m blonde I don’t have much hairgrowth around my brows...
Mibroblading is not just something to do to get flawless brows - it is specifically used to make hairlike lines in between and around your natural hairs, to give a natural looking brow... you can even ask the artist to make them a little bushy if you want 😘
My cousin's wife had her eyebrows removed and tattoed, and I have to tell you the result was amazing simply because it was extraordinarily like the real thing. In fact, I wasn't aware until she told me.
Just fyi - microblading today is not like tattooing... they use tiny blades made of needles that ‘scratch’ tiny superficial ‘cuts’ in the top layer of the skin...
Then they apply the color on top of the scratches... it feels like scratches and sting a bit - but a good artist keeps the area numb throughout...
The only drawback is that you have to get touch ups - usually within 3 months the first time - and then once a year...
Because of the superficial nature of the treatment...
But it is SO worth it!!!
Good to see you again! I'm glad you're feeling better, yes ,you are! :) You are much more confident! I can tell you I'm relieved because there was time when I was really worried about you, like you are in doubts. But now I only wish you keep it going!!!!! Not to worry it will be allright, I promise!
❤️❤️
Dude, I love your honesty!
Super helpful! Thanks Cody!!
Within the past few months I’ve been really suffering from bottom dysphoria to points where I’m feeling really suicidal everyday but your videos really cleared things up for me and I think over the years contemplating, organizing my expectations and looking at phalloplasty, if I make it through these next few years this is what I’m going to opt for. Keep going and doing what you are, you’re really helping people out here. Bless
Jimin Maen You got this!!! Just keep looking forward. ❤️
I love you cody! Your freaking awesome and no matter how ill I'm feeling you can always make me smile and laugh. Keep doing what you do hunni! 😘
aw shucks thanks for making my day. :)
@@Codytalks11 you make my day too! 💖
I just came out a month ago. At 41 years old. Havent started testosterone and it just seems like it's going to take so long to just be the human I wanna be ugh just subbed man your videos are very informative!
Well?? Do you have a penis now??
6:38 woah............big worm
Thanks for the video!! Very informative
Thanks for making these videos! I got my date for RFF 🙌🏾
Heyyy congrats dude!!
Thank you so much for sharing all of this info about what is obviously a highly personal matter. It’s invaluable. I’ve never read or heard anyone talk about their personal experience with the vaginectomy part. I don’t know if that’s because very few people get it, because it’s unpleasant to talk about (completely understandable), or something else. If you do a future video like this and feel up for it, I‘d be interested in hearing as much as you’re comfortable sharing about your experience with that surgery-e.g., how painful was it? How was the healing process? How does it feel now? (I will, I hope, eventually be getting this surgery myself)
Will do my best! Also I do have a phalloplasty playlist that goes over a lot as well if you are interested!
great video you seem very happy with the results...
Thank you and I learned so much.
Very well said Cody. :)
Hi Cody! You mentioned that you some times feel dysphoria with your eye brows. If you are looking to grow them in thicker I have some advice. I gave into the 2000s trend and over plucked my eye brows and have tried everything under the sun and this is the only thing I have found to work. I started using rogain on them. But the trick with rogain is to make sure it can reach the hair follicles or it won’t work. So I use a tooth brush and give them a good scrub before applying before bed. I also use a biotin shampoo that helps remove the DHT build up that blocks the hair follicle. Since I started using this method I have seen really good results. Hope this helps!
Hey thank you!! I’ll give it a go!
Castor oil worked wonders for eyebrows and hair regrowth in general. Layer some on before bed and you’ll start seeing results! Plus it’s natural and safe so you won’t have to worry about putting it on your face. It can be a bit drying though because it is a cleansing oil so don’t forget to moisturize.
Thank you this is really helpful 👏
😊
It is so great that you are so open about this. Even though some people give you shit on the comments, I think your work is pushing trans people forward. Greetings from cold Finland!
Aw hey thank you! ❤️
Hey Cody, I just want to say thank you for all the effort that you put into your videos and they’ve been really helpful for me personally. I’m not a trans but I’m going to undergo phalloplasty surgery in January. I was born with an extremely rare birth defect called Bladder Exstrophy (Google it). It affects the entire urological system and including something else down there. I’ve been through multiple surgeries, procedures, and some serious emotional problems growing up. I still need three more surgeries and I’m completely done with everything. Even though I’m not trans and can’t relate to everything you’ve gone through, watching your videos has helped me though some of my fears and concerns, and I really do appreciate it.
Hey Jason!! So glad the videos have been helpful! I’m sorry to hear you have gone through so much :( surgeries are never fun. Best of luck with phalloplasty! Who is your surgeon if you don’t mind me asking?
Cody_talks Thanks, and my surgeon is Dr Rick Redett at Johns Hopkins. He’s a pediatric plastic surgeon. He works on things like cleft palate, but also this. It’s him and my Urologist Dr John Gearhart who’s specializes in Bladder Exstrophy, they’re my surgeons. One thing about my surgery I’m a little bummed about is they won’t be able to extend/create a urethra to the tip of the phallus cause it’s not possible and there is no point since I catheterize myself through a Mitrofanoff stoma.
Hey I have heard great things about Hopkins! Sounds like you are in good hands. I am sorry they can't extend the urethra :( are they taking a graft from your arm or leg or etc?
Cody_talks they’re gonna create the phallus from my arm and take a skin graft from my leg
These videos were sooo helpful and i think when I'm older (I'm only 14 now and I want to be at least 20 if i get bottom surgery) I'll probably get phallo instead of meto
I fell ya and I'm with you all the way and wish you the best
For your eyebrows to look fuller (because you mentioned it making you feel insecure..You are very handsome..Your eyebrows are fine)but if it makes you happy you could have something called Microblading which tattoos individual wisps of eyebrows.Right now it is fashionable for woman to have thick eyebrows ...but it is affordable and if you get a technician who is really good it looks natural.I am sure they have a good one in your town...Great video very informative..I am sure this will help many people.
I have my Phalloplasty on Tuesday the 7th of January. Anxiety is high. love the dog have a Dachshound myself.
Thanks for these videos! I don’t know if I’ll ever have it. I would love to but am hesitant about major surgery.
No problem! Hope the videos might help in your decision process!
6:37, HAPPY HOT DOG!!! lol... that was adorable :) I have a question: is there a correlation between less bladder infections with phallo vs. metoidioplasty? So far nothing done lower surgery wise, but WOULD like to "blend in" a bit more when going out to the gym, or even to the mens room at Menards lol....
haha! :) and ya know I am not too sure. I have had a couple of UTI's since phalloplasty but i think that is due mostly to having a stricture.
I can't wait to one day have phallo!!
There's a Clothes Designer in NYC who makes Clothing for Shorter Guy's...I like his Clothes !
Also doing the forearm
Hey bro. I've got Dr. Chen and Dr. Watt. ALT Phallo stage 1 on 8/14/19.
I checked out the doctors and what turned me off on crane was the 8+ lawsuits his currently has in court. I just felt very uncomfortable. I felt really comfortable Chen and Watt.
You've got the dream team man!! I would definitely not longer choose crane haha.
@@Codytalks11 If you live in the Bay, holla back. It would be nice to connect with others.
Hi, what doctor did you do your surgery with and at what hospital? Thanks
What made you decide not to go for a pump erectile device? I’ve always thought of it as ideal for myself, but I like to hear other people’s opinions too.
you seem like such a lovely human
aw thanks :)
When after your surgery was it hard for you to pee and if it did did it burn?
Are there any ressources like websites where one can look at results?
Transbucket has alot
How tall are you?
Great video. It’s my first time watching you. I have a question. If you don’t get a pump does that mean you can’t get hard and have penetration? What happens in masturbation or a hand job, does it stay soft and you just have a sensation. Sorry if that’s personal.
Did you do electrolysis for your arm before surgery? I have heard opinions for or deemed unnecessary. Just curious of your choice and thoughts on that choice. And thank you so much for this conversation. Appreciate brother.
Yes I did. I deem it very necessary if you have any hair on your arm at least for the part that will become your urethra. :) I went for about 8 months two times a week.
@@Codytalks11 That makes complete sense! Thanks for responding back. This is definitely a topic that needs more discussion amongst the community. Vulnerability is helping so many. Beautiful thing. 🙏
Hopefully fully recovered by now
yes! Thanks :)
I’m married to a trans man and I’m freaking out for the future surgeries. I don’t know how to be calm at times and not have high anxiety about the future surgeries. I need help!
Cody - a little off topic and but with the advances in face transplantation maybe not so off the wall. If science made it possible, do you think ftm individuals would be open to a penile transplant?
I think many trans men would be open to it and they have done one successful penis transplant on a cis guy but I don't think trans men would be first on the transplant list unfortunately :(
It's a commitment to a lifetime of anti rejection drugs which can be pretty harsh.
I have this weird thought that if accidentally my pants were pull down by something or someone, (simply naked ) in front of people
I would feel so much of extreme dysphoria because of what I got down there.
I am pre-t and pre-op.
I can definitely understand that!
Have you thought about dating without sex in mind or finding a woman that doesn’t give hoot about Sex? Also have you considered microblading the brows? You’re definitely not alone in being self conscious about the brows.
I still like sex, so I would have to be with someone who did too haha. It is just a matter of patience and getting to know what works :) As for the brows yes I just don't have the money for microblading currently :)
I think this question may be irrelevant. What happens or what would happen if you got kicked or hit down below, after phalloplasty and when you have testicular implants? Especially having the rod and the pump!
💛
Oh man I cringe just thinking about it. I imagine it would be incredibly painful and could break something if it was hard enough lol
good question
have you tried minoxidil on your eyebrows?
yes
Are you ever getting the erection rod?? And if not I was told by someone else that you can still have penetrative sex without it??? Do you know if that's true???
I've also heard from others that Dr. Crane is too optimistic and promises more than he can deliver. Doesn't sound good.
Yea for sure, I want honesty over false optimism haha
...Small... Uff. XD I'm 1.50m (5'9") and feel ok with The thought being called a "Boy" instead of "Men". Was allways Like that^^"
150cm is a lot less than 5 ft 9... it’s 4 ft 11
Do you still need to visit the gynechologist? If so, how is that done? Isn't the vagina closed? Did you have histerectomy before?
No need for a gyno, no Vagina or uterus or ovaries
@@Codytalks11 wow, you really had to go through a lot to get to where you are! Thanks for sharing your experience, it really helps me understanding the trans community.
Do we get to see what it looks like
This is kind of disrespectful and a very intrusive question
You're cute Cody ;)
aw shucks lol :)
You are so cute 😘
I don't like how there's less sexual sensation after phalo. What's the point? You have all this intrusive stuff done to you and pay a lot of money for something you feel LESS sensation from. And you still have to be trans in the bedroom, come out and have a "special" kind of sex and not just be a regular guy. Bottom surgery such a waste of time amd money, getting butchered by these surgons. They should be giving you MORE sensation, and along the whole head and shaft of the phalus. 80,000 $ later. What a rip off. No wonder Crain was being a sales man with you.
