If you're wondering whether it's safe to use sex toys during your recovery from gender confirmation surgery, the answer is generally yes! However, there are a few things to keep in mind.
First, check with your doctor or surgeon about any specific restrictions or recommendations they may have regarding sexual activity and the use of sex toys after surgery.
Secondly, take things slowly and listen to your body.
You are going through a lot of changes, both physically and mentally. Don’t overwhelm yourself.
Start with gentle stimulation and work your way up from there. You will need to experiment a bit to figure out what feels good and what doesn't.
Again remember, in some cases, it can take around 2 years to heal fully, so be patient and gentle with yourself and your experimentation.
And lastly, clean your sex toys before and after use (with soap and water or a toy cleaner) to prevent infection.
Sexual activity helps to increase blood flow and keep the tissue in the area healthy.
It also helps to reduce stress and anxiety, which can contribute to healing.
Additionally, sexual activity can reduce inflammation and pain in the area affected by the medical procedure.
It releases endorphins, which can help boost your mood and physical sensation, improving overall well-being while also providing a distraction from the grueling recovery time.
Furthermore, it helps to keep muscle tone in the area that was worked on, which will help with recovery.
Many people are self-conscious about using sex toys after gender confirmation surgery, but there is no reason to be. In fact, as mentioned, sex toys can be a great way to help with the healing process by providing much-needed stimulation and relief.
That said, there are some things to consider before using sex toys after surgery.
First and foremost, make sure your incisions are healed and that your doctor gives you the all-clear before engaging in any type of sexual activity.
Once you have the go-ahead, don't push yourself too hard, too fast. Remember, you're still recovering.
If you're feeling pain, discomfort, or bleeding during your pleasure sessions, stop immediately!
This isn't something you should power through—it's a sign that your body isn't ready yet.
Take a break for a few days or weeks and try again when you feel up to it.
There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing sex toys for your gender confirmation post-surgery recovery.
Ask your doctor any questions you might have about your recovery journey and what your expectations should be.
If you get the green light, consider what type of toy would be best for your particular situation.
For example, if you're recovering from vaginoplasty, stay away from all penetration during recovery. But, according to Dr. Ashley DeLeon, gentle clitoral stimulation can be enjoyed.
She also mentions, just like we discover in our pleasure explorations, that the body is full of sensory nerves, so you needn't be restricted to genitalia to enjoy sexual pleasure.
The reconstruction of sexual organs means that you can experience sexual stimulation differently than before. For instance, in phalloplasty, the “hot spot”, the clitorial gland, will be in the shaft, and you won’t be able to ejaculate.
Depending on the donor tissue used to create the neo-penis or neo-vagina, it might not be as sensitive as naturally developed genitalia.
Nerve regeneration also takes time; it can vary anywhere from 3 weeks to over a year or two after the surgery.
So, take your time and explore - you need to reacquaint yourself with your body.
Ensure your toys are made of body-safe materials, like soft 100% silicone.
This is important because you want to avoid introducing bacteria into your body while it is healing.
Also, look for toys that are easy to clean. Avoid anything that has nooks and crannies where bacteria can hide.
Lube is not only for penetration but also helps reduce friction between your toy and you, giving you a more pleasurable experience.
Remember to always use water-based lubricants with your silicone sex toys.
Sexual healing is an important part of the recovery process, so don't be afraid to ask for help if needed.
This is supposed to be an enjoyable experience, so make sure to pick a toy you'll actually enjoy using.
Regardless of the type of surgery you had (metoidioplasty, phalloplasty, vulvoplasty, vaginoplasty, breast augmentation, or chest reconstruction), it's a scary experience, and it can be daunting to start sexual play again. It needn't be!
