Getting the procedure done this week. Ordered some underwear with ice packs and sleeve for comfort. Planning on laying on the couch watching DS9.

Any advice from those who have already crossed this Rubicon?

Yeah I was feeling better like 24 hours later. Don’t expect to be on the couch for a week. Icepacks and DS9 sounds like a good start.

The place I went to had a TV on the ceiling to distract you, but the doc put on a nature documentary about owls, the thing turned into a mirror with all the night shots…

Other then that it was fine.

And I can’t stress this enough:

Get fucking tested by the fucking deadline. Do the 20+ wanks and get tested when they say to get tested. Something like 70% of men don’t get tested. That’s how you end up with an unplanned kid. Don’t be an asshole like that!

How about your vital essences? Are you replete with power now that you have no choice but to conserve? How often do you levitate in a given week?

Follow whatever instructions they give you when it comes to waiting on exercise/sex. In the moment it’ll definitely feel fine, but you will be punished later. Speaking from experience lol.

Also icing before bed is good, also buying extra ice packs is probably a good idea (4 was a good number for me, but you can always just return them later so get a lot).

Also, if there isn’t anyone around to help after, try to set things up so that everything’s within reach of the couch when you get back. I had help, but they couldn’t be around for the entire recovery period, so yeah keep the essentials close by.

Oh and there’s probably going to be dried blood in your ejaculate the first few times so take whatever precautions you need to/don’t freak out.

As far as my experience, I wasn’t one of the fast recovery period guys. But even then it wasn’t too bad, I just moved around and did things carefully, tried not to push it (ex. going on long walks without very supportive underwear). I’d sometimes have discomfort after sex, but that was usually my fault if you know what I mean. It’s hard for me to place exactly when I felt totally normal, but I’d say within a month or two I stopped having to be careful about the way I did things. But that’s just me, and I did have an injury back in the day that may have been the reason why it took me a minute to feel totally normal.

Oh and if your uncircumcised try to clean off your jockstrap or whatever as frequently as you can, I got balanitis because I didn’t lol

Also I’d recommend getting the no scalpel procedure if you aren’t. Probably fine either way but I’ve read there’s a greater chance of complications/longer recovery if you get an incision
