Lubrication
Well it has been almost a year since my Sex Reassignment Surgery. I have had several complications and am still in some pain, but I am winning at last. A while back I noted that I was lubricating in the clitoral area! While I was happy to note that it was of little consequence if my vaginal opening was not doing the same. It was impossible to tell what was happening there due to pain, blood and other discharge associated with the healing process.
The last few days I have been much more comfortable when dilating. It is still painful, but I have coped much better and that pain has lessened. I had noted recently that I seemed a little damp at times. This could be simply more discharge from granulation tissue but also it could be I was self lubricating to some extent.
As an experiment today I dilated without the aid of extra lubrication! The first stage with the smaller dilator worked well, so I gave it a go with a larger dilator. Again it worked fairly well but I did not it stuck a little. The fluid in my vagina lacks the slightly slippy texture that lubricating jelly gives. It is different to the fluid produced with clitoral stimulation!
I tried again with a slightly larger dilator namely a rigid type ladies vibrator. This time though I was in trouble for a minute or so. The darn thing stuck and would not go in or out! After a few minutes of panic, I did manage to leaver the darn thing out! Unfazed, I added a tiny quantity of lubricant and tried again. This worked and despite being tighter than my larger dilator it did not tear me.
So now I know I am definitely self lubricating, but this may need a little help form a lubricating gel.
I am also so happy to have been able to take the slightly larger vibrator. It gives me hope that all will be well very soon!
