Hi y’all so happy to be part of the restoration community. I first learned about restoration around 2010. I made my own device but it just wasn’t working out so for over ten years I just gave up on the idea. Sometime ago I stumbled onto this sub and immediately wanted to know more. I always kinda knew there was something wrong with my sex life im a gay man, I always thought I was just automatically a bttm because penetrating someone els felt ok but not enough to climax. So in order to please my partners I took on the role of bottom. When I started to hear of how amazing sex felt for intact men I knew I had to do something and desperately wanted to share this news with people in my life. When I worked up the courage to tell my best friend he looked at me like I was crazy and said some pretty awful things to me. I even told one of my parents and I got the same reaction but worse. They made it seem like I was blaming them and that there was something wrong mentally with me. But I carried on I am now close to 3 months in and can comfortably use my dtr and air device. I’m making huge progress 🙏🏼. The other night I visited my parent that I had that awful discussion with at a family event and they got totally wasted lol. As I helped to get them in bed with some water and blankets they began to cry. I was shocked asking what was wrong. Through their sobs they told me they were sorry for mutating me and if they had known better they never would have 😳. I was so shocked hahahaha but in the best way not only can I talk to y’all about whatever’s going on, but by opening up and being honest with my loved ones I have a few people I’ll that I can talk to about my journey. I’m so happy I made this decision.
