I Had Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery: Part 2

A woman discovers what it's like to have sex after vaginal reconstruction surgery.

Back in April, I shared my story of having vaginal reconstruction. Of course, a surgery of this nature requires sex to be put on hold for quite awhile, but I promised readers that I would write again when my spouse and I finally gave the new runway a test flight.

I just recently picked up a new vagina. It's brand new, shiny, and never been tested by man.

Large busts were so common among Jewish women they'd created a word in the Old Country for exactly what I'd inherited.

Do Below The Belt Fractures Exist?

The answer is yes and it's actually more common than one would think.

Penis fractures do in fact happen. While it's true the penis has no bones, it's actually the spongy areas on both sides that get injured. However, in order to get even anywhere close to doing this, the penis has to be bent pretty severely to one side. It's very important for a man to seek medical attention promptly if he finds himself with a fractured penis. During surgery, doctors stitch up torn areas and make sure the urethra isn't damaged.
