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.

I'll be honest, this post pissed me off, so I apologize if I'm direct and abrupt.

I had some really rare complications with my bottom surgery including losing most of my clitoral tissue to serious necrosis and lots of separation in the labia. I still have no regrets.

I don't care that another person may never be able to give me an orgasm. Heck even if I hadn't been able to give myself one for the rest of my life I would not regret it. It still has resolved a major mental health issue. I had intense "phantom genital" issues my whole life. It cause a ton of anxiety, erectile dysfunction, and other sexual issues and was just torture, really.

Not to mention tucking was extremely uncomfortable for me due to some testicular nerve issues, so now I don't need to worry about that anymore.

So, don't assume that everyone should not have surgery because their pleasure might be slightly decreased or they may lose some sensation.

Maybe even in the worst case scenario it isn't that bad.
