What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study seeks to explore the various methods used by transgender men for sexual intercourse following phalloplasty or metoidioplasty, focusing on their satisfaction with different erectile aids, as well as the satisfaction of their partners. Phalloplasty and metoidioplasty are gender-affirming surgeries that often require additional aids to achieve the desired sexual function, particularly for penetration. While internal erectile prostheses are common after phalloplasty, they come with high complication rates, leading some patients to opt for non-surgical aids. However, the effectiveness and comfort of these aids are not well-documented. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the types of aids transgender men use, how well these aids meet their sexual needs, and how satisfied both they and their partners are with the outcomes, providing much-needed insight for healthcare provid
