Oh I'm sorry

And I've been widowed 5 1/2 years, I hope it isn't like all the guys told me " If you don't use it You lose it" want something in reserve in case Mr Wonderful comes along. Don't want Mr Barely Breathing, Mr What did you say, Honey? or Mr Just turn the electric blanket,on to medium. Want one that can generate his own heat.

Everything gets smaller, including the diameter. I haven't really heard anyone else talk about it so I'm not sure if this is a common thing but I feel like a teenager again, lol!

Is that what's going on??!! It's been so painful for me for the past four months. Not a good change for me. Will this get better over time? I hope so.

I don't understand... I am only 2 weeks post surgery. What gets smaller? The fat around your kitty? Sex feels different? Is it good or bad?

For me it feels different kinda like the first time all over again ?

I'm wondering if when someone has a panniculectomy does it also tighten up or get rid of the excess skin over the pubic bone? I'm thinking it would look weird to have a flat area where your pannus had been, only to then have a pooching FUPA.

I would guess you would lose some of the fat shielding your pubic bone with weight loss.

@Charity G well they can do lipo on the mons when they do the tummy tuck/LBL surgery. I plan on getting a separate vag rejuvenation from a surgeon that specializes in that - I have a herniated muscle on the posterior wall from some rough childbirth.... sometimes makes good ole missionary a little uncomfortable.

Sex is still great but my booty is now a flat textbook down the pants!!! Goes with the 'tennis balls in tube socks' titties!!! All going under the knife after stabilized goal weight - hopefully a year from now.

yeah, you loose your front meat, my camel toe is really non existent.

And dang it, the guys gain a few more visible inches. Most of the bari-brothers are THRILLED about that!

A few more visible inches AND it works the way it's supposed to!

But hey, look on the bright side: Yours didn't quit working when you were overweight!

Yeah but sometimes you needed a miners lamp to find it. Wondered if it would better to tattoo an arrow in my inner thigh or leave a trial of breadcrumbs. After all, you do remember what one of the nicknames is.?

Maybe didn’t stop working but the crazy hormones will do a number on drive, so in a way it does stop.

Not feeling sexy can really ruin a woman's sex drive. I didn't stop "using it" because I wanted to keep my husband happy, but I didn't enjoy it as much as when I felt better about myself. My sex drive has been through the roof lately! It's probably a combination of the increased energy level, the fact that even though I'm not at my ideal weight (and will definitely still need plastic surgery) I don't hate my body anymore and then this special surprise of youthful pleasure. Whatever the reason I'll take it!!

It actually hurt for me at first but it has gotten way better. I thought my husband was getting bigger because I'd never heard any other women talk about it. Maybe we're just using those muscles more and not realizing it.
