Do you think FtM surgery will improve

That is actually one of my ambitions. In fact, it was in my introduction post! Still, there are a lot of variables to consider.

Why stem cells? How would one make semen out of stem cells? Are there ethical issues we need to think about? What if we need to change the chromosomes first? What if the penis is rejected? What about the prostate gland and Cowper's gland?Should we just cut the majority of the bottom half? Should we just create a new body, but with a Y chromosome? Would this procedure have negative side effects? How the hell would the process even work? Can we invent an IRL Medigun so the patient doesn't die a gruesome, grisly death? Because that would be cool. Should we invent a respawn system, in case they do? (TF2 reference ? Or a just a general videogame reference?) That would be even cooler, but it could have... odd consequences, good and bad.

Until embryonic stem cells can actually help others, I can't support it (no matter how much pregnancy gives me the willies). If someone proves to me that it's extremely useful, I will support it! Also, you'd need a lot of experience in genetics. The best candidate for inventing the process is a stealth transman. Passing as non-trans would let him avoid a lot of grief, and he would know what it's like to be one of us!

 

:dry: Take a look at the "XY anatomy". It's a bad idea to only take one part of the reproductive system. And what's the point if you can't take a piss out of said penis?

 

I kind of doubt things will get too much better. The penis is a very complex thing. I imagine that we will be replacing hearts, lungs and eyes before we figure out how to build a penis that can become aroused without help. I'm not a doctor though.

 

You can probably print a penis. You can print a lot of organs now.

Unfortunately, from a realistic standpoint, I'm doubtful about improvements happening too soon.

 

Damn, I'd love a penis i could use for packing, peeing, passing, AND penetration, all while being receptive to touch, and capable of becoming flaccid/erect... Basically everything except what it was designed for...

Well, science is certainly advancing in the direction of being able to print organs, so who knows? I'm not going to hold my breath though. It's better to pack and pretend I think, until the holy grail graces us with pecker power...

Well, don't worry. You probably wont have to wait more than twenty years.

Edit:

Damn, what about a robot penis controlled by the brain? Like a robotic prosthetic? It could work, right?

 

Give or take 10 years and we should see big leaps in improvement.

 

I'd say in around 70 years.

 

Unlikely to be that long, given that we've successfully managed face and limb transplants. Medical science is advancing with leaps and bounds.

 

Well lets wait and see, I personally can't see it happening anytime soon.

 

Considering there have been complete face transplants where the person has been able to feel and use the muscles? I'd say that it's fully possible. A face is quite a deal more complex than a penis.

 

Yeah, might be harder to build a pole than dig a hole but if they can do face transplants, pfft. I give it ten years. Five, if we get lucky. Options are getting better every day. I'd never do phallo with what we've got now but I'm betting in ten years we'll have better, less invasive and more functional options and I'll have a boner in my jeans before I'm 35, if I may be so blunt.

 

The biggest issue that I can think if is blood flow and the blood vessels needed.

 

I can only hope for it to become more realistic. With what we have now, I probably won't do a bottom surgery.
