Thanks Finn, I've felt the exact same way about getting phalloplasty and it's so good to hear that someone else was the same. I've contemplated it for years and years, at first I definitely didn't want it (based on myths and misinformation) and after time, I've slowly realized there's a lot of aspects that I'm not okay with, and that I do need it. When i first figured that out, i felt invalid for not instantly being completely sure about it, but hearing others experience the same as me has helped me sooooo much. I'm set for the beginning of 2025 for stage 1, and I'm both super excited and super scared! 😅 Thank you for sharing your journey, it's been a HUGE help and has helped me figure things out, surgeons and doctors can only tell you so much, they don't know the phycological and personal parts of the journey, so thank you. Wish me luck!

Thank you for this wonderful comment, this is exactly why I share so openly. So many people feel their need for surgery is somehow invalidated if they have doubts and hesitations, but I actually think this is normal! Who ever wants surgery? Its painful and comes with complications and risks, we want the outcome, but not the surgery, its just unfortunate we have to have the surgery to get the outcome! So yes, having these concerns I think makes you a much wiser and prepared person when it comes to surgery, as you know what's ahead, and you are prepared for it, rather than just skipping into it thinking everything is hunky dory! I'm so pleased you have managed to work through everything and have a plan ahead, how exciting! Dont forget nerves are normal too! I'm not sure if you know, but I have a website with a ton of extra info, and a phalloplasty book too. Ill link it here, and if you every need any extra info or whatever, do please give me a shout! finlaygames.com/my-books/

Hi Finn. Great video. When I listen to what Dysphoria was like for you and all the in's and outs of getting to where you are today, I realize how desperately you NEEDED to have all the surgeries etc to reveal the man you truly are. How Transphobes can say it's a Trans Agenda and it is not A real condition pisses me off. No one would go through all the pain and emotional upheaval just because it's trendy. You are a brave person. Now you are congruent. Body mind Soul and Spirit. I am thrilled for you.

Thanks for this update. Very relatable… I can’t overstate how much I appreciate it. I previously imagined other men who get phalloplasty are so dysphoric that they can barely shower & panic about it daily. I don’t think I feel that way, but I guess I do randomly/impulsively curse out loud while bathing… I convinced myself for over half my current lifetime that bottom surgery was impossible & ignored the thought… but It is no longer out of reach & I have a lot to think about.

I'm glad you gave yourself this gift of a beautiful life. You have such a big heart. If you were born with a body that reflected your gender from the beginning, I think your heart would be just as big. If someone is a lovely person then they just are, no matter what's going on around them. I discovered your journey in early 2013 when you were baby Finn and pre everything, and throughout the changes over the years the things that have remained constant and continue to grow strength to strength is your curiosity for life and people, and your heart and the compassion you have to help people. I've read your book and it's a beautiful story of your development and growth into manhood. Will you be releasing other books either through a publisher or self publish?

Baby Finn has come a long way and I am so honoured that you have seen the entire evolution! New books are on the cards......and there will be more news coming soon!

Your not trans if at some point you don't talk about peeing... it's in the law or something. :) x Yours is an amazing story, I kind of knew what was involved in surgery in the opposite direction only now realising how little I knew. The part about realising only after the surgery was over just how much dysphoria there was buried away hit home for me. In my case I really wanted the surgery no doubts what so ever, only I was in no way ready for the emotional ride on the other side as my body kind of clicked into place. Again like you I had issues that needed more surgery although in my case it dealt a blow to depth and scaring in an awkward spot... I had to hide a lot of hurt after years of preparation... it was just bad luck that's all. As I must talk about peeing then I have to mention the childish moment of euphoria that first made me go yep! that's how it should be... I was unbandaged for the first time, still very swollen, and not only was there nothing there, which was fantastic, but I also farted and my flaps (Labia) vibrated... laughed like a child for ages. Yes that was the intellectual height of my transition. :) On bladder anxiety I can completely get that, I was operated on as a baby down below and have spent my life thinking about where the nearest loo is when ever travelling. Oddly enough never realised I should have been able to clear out my wee from the shaft with a muscle action as I never had that ability which explains why it always seemed easier for other people, learn something new every day. :) xx

Its still really only disappearing from my life, but long journies, especially on public transport, can often still spark off the worry! What a journey we have!

Hi there, I've got another kind of question. The tattoo on your donor arm, is this one done by a special kind of tattoo artist? Like a medical tattoo artist? Of a special scar tattoo artist? I'm five years post-op but my scar is still so fragile. I have multiple tattoos, but I really can't imagine that it would be possible to cover up my scar with a tattoo. I think it will bleed a lot and that the ink won't attach to my skin. What is your experience with covering up your scar? Thanks in advance.

Hello my friend. My tattoo was done by a tattoo artist who has experience with tattooing scarred and grafted skin. Whether yu can have your arm tatooed, all depends on the quality of the skin on your graft. I wrote a blog about this recently which goes into much more detail you can find it here 👉finlaygames.com/tattooing-skin-graft-scars-after-phalloplasty-surgery/

I get a big smile on my face when I see you've put out another video! 😃😁😊🥰 Happy 6 years Finn Jr.!!! 🥳🎉✨🎊🎆 "With a side of cheese." 🧀 Love Lamby hiding back under there... (It's become a fun little game in my mind, "Where and what is he up to in this video?" I love it!) 16:20 Just another odd question for you: Have you ever asked Chris what the differences between you are in terms of feelings of pleasure (where you felt it, how intense and such? Or is that in your book and I can just find out so you don't have to answer if you don't want to in the comments?) I haven't had a chance to read your book yet, but it's on my "next" shelf! I was surprised at myself, once I transitioned (no lower surgery yet), that I've known all along that if I did full lower surgery that I would identify as/be a gay man. This is such a turn of events for me that I never expected, but, in a way, also knew way back in my mind. So far my partner is still on the fence about staying with me, but if I delve into getting lower surgery, I think our relationship would be over as a couple, and just be friends. It's tough going through all of this. I still thank you from the bottom of my heart that I found your channel and that you are willing to be so candid and genuine for those of us out there with the same type of journey! Have a great day Finn, and thank you again! 🐑🥰👏

Haha! He needs to have his own book, Wheres Lamby! That is a really good point about asking Chris about how we each experience pleasure, I have asked some questions, but never really in a compare kind of way. I will ask him ahead of making my next sensation video! I cant wait to hear what you think about my book! Sexuality changing is a surprise, never in a million years did I think I would go back to men! Life is full of surprises. Transitioning is so hard when we are in a relationship, some survive it, others dont and that is really tough to manage. My heart goes out to you my friend and I am glad my videos can give you some comfort. Much love to you!
