I am new to this, and waiting for a reversal surgery, sometime in the future. The whole situation around my surgery was pretty traumatic. It's been ten months, and I am beginning to recover emotionally, even though I have some bad days, but I can see my optimism, and hopeful spirit coming back. I can't imagine four operations, and all that you've been through. That means you are strong, a true survivor, now is when we come to know what we are made of, saying it is tough is such an understatement. You are so beautiful, and strong, and have a supportive family. I think we must overcome the fear of rejection, only advice I can give you is not to care about it, just find a way to use a belt, or cover, or something that will make it possible, and just not care. There are still sensitive, caring men out there, and when they see you, they will be attracted to all your beautiful inner wealth. Just try to find that confidence, even arrogance, if they don't accept you, their problem. But, someone will. I have a feeling this may turn into a blessing after all, I have learned so much, so much is so clear now. You are lucky you are beautiful, and young, just find that tiger in you, and find intimacy, so many ways to have it, so many, if women needed a penis to have great sex, there would not be lesbians; you need a real man, and I know there is one there somewhere where you live. Have you ever met one of those amazing souls with incredible disabilities who are joyful and happy to be alive that have this contagious positive spirit, that make everyone smile around them, that is the confidence we need, the attitude we need, and to work towards finding that place, a process, long, short, but for sure achievable. You'll get there, your strength comes across your writing. Do not make a big deal out of it, others will if you do, let them see that beauty within, do yoga, try Buddhism, I don't know, stop traffic, it is there, somewhere within us. There is a saying in sales: 'do not make an issue where there is none', I think it applies to us also. Make a big deal, naturally, of all your other aspects, sides, this wil pass. Volunteering is a great way to meet sensitive men, find a passion if you can. I hope I can follow my own advise, I am trying.
