so i've seen a lot of people talk about surgeries, mostly genital or boob area. i'd like to comment:

i think it's not a good idea. at least it's not as good an idea as people generally think. it does not just change your looks. it also changes the tissue, and that matters.

as an example, some women do plastic surgery to get larger boobs, but i'm quite sure that this erases a large part of the nervous tissue in the boobs, so the plastic essentially doesn't feel anything, so i doubt that it would feel good to get them touched and stimulated by someone you like.

the same is true with the penis, which is not just a form factor, but also contains a lot of nervous tissue, and i'm quite sure that it would be significantly more difficult to get an orgasm without that nervous tissue. this is just something to beware. i'm not an expert on plastic surgeries, but this much seems rather straightforward to argue to me.

Admin hat on here.

You need to be very careful about how you phrase topics like this. It's ok to express your opinion. It's ok to say that surgery is not for you and to be open about why.

What's not ok is telling people that surgery, or any other aspect of folk living life authentically on their own terms isn't isn't for them either.

You can talk about your own experiences and perspectives, but don't push them on to others
