Success in editing the video. The quality is sub-par, and to be honest I became exceptionally frustrated so it’s not as good as I’d have hoped, but it’s complete and edited.
I am now just waiting on my Wife to watch it a few times to make sure my anonymity is secure and the precautions I took are enough. Call me paranoid, because I am. I enjoy being stealth.
I kind of feel like the video is null and void seeing as it covers a lot of my initial written review, alongside it being my hands moving a prosthetic around in front of a camera for nine minutes while talking – thats kind of odd.
Regardless, if it passes the Wife-test, it’ll be uploaded to youtube and then posted here.
Details about sex coming up ASAP. As well as the video review.
I know I’m taking my time, but there’s no other way around it unfortunately.

I was in the shower thinking about how I could have answered this better, apologies. Firstly, Freetom Prosthetics recommends to use a condom when using the prosthesis for sexual purposes. This is not only for safety, but hygiene purposes. I always, always use a condom when using prosthesis. It’s just a thing that I do.
As for sticky residue, this is a confusing question. Residue from the lubricant packaged with condoms is something biological men have to deal with as well – and to be frank, I can’t see why this would be a problem unless you weren’t prepared to wash your junk after you have sexy time with it. That comes with a whole other set of hygiene issues you might like to consider.
Overall, use a condom – its cleaner, protects your prosthesis and partner from potential nasties laying on something you use to urinate with (even if you’ve cleaned it).
Introduction: I’ve had this thing for a few days now, although due to the time of year and guests I haven’t had the privacy to play around much, and I prefer to be confident with a packer before I use it full time. I have however had enough experience with it for an intial report of sorts, so here it is. If you’d like to read my initial thoughts, they’re located here.
Packing: This is the aspect I was most looking forward to, and it’s the part that’s been the most challenging. The packer itself isn’t much larger than what I am used to in terms of length, yet in girth it is a little wider. The problematic part is the balls, as they need to be situated basically in between your legs against your natal anatomy, and there seems to be a lot of silicone around the receptacle area which, while useful for the urination feature, feel cumbersome for packing. This can be seen in the third photograph. As far is the rod is concerned, I can’t find a suitable way to pack with that in. I leave it out, and I don’t particularly care for it’s features unless I’m having sexytime. This kind of makes the whole “ready to go” aspect of it redundant for me, but it’s not something I was looking for when shopping for this product. Success has been found when poking the shaft out through the fly of briefs which have such a feature, then putting a snug pair of briefs over the top of it all. I feel like a jockstrap would work well, but mine’s gone AWOL.
Urination: I feel as though I can’t report much on this, as I’ve never had problems using any of the various STP devices available in the last 10 years. The balls however are very hollow and don’t flow down toward the shaft as easily as might be needed, which causes a slight fluid build up. This is resolved when you squeeze the balls and shake the shaft after voiding, but unless you’re careful about clean up – hygiene is a concern. The inside of the prothesis is particular rought cut, however this is merely cosmetic and does not effect function. Something I achieved with this prosthesis which I have never done with any other STP device before is simply open my jeans fly and piss without care, thought or adjustment of natal anatomy or STP device. It was very smooth and natural, however as mentioned ensuring liquid wasn’t left in the receptacle needed a bit of careful attention. That, right there, that one moment in time was worth it for me. Even if it never repeats itself. I felt whole.
Play: Due to stress and constant guests, I’ll leave this one until I have used these features. My Wife is also going to provide a summary of the erm.. recieving end.
Pleasure: The “pleasure” ridges inside the prosthesis actually do line up with my biological dick, and I can see that they will provide stimulation – however subtle that may be. This design seems rather dependant on luck of the geographical state of one’s anatomy, so I feel it wouldn’t work for a large proportion of the consumer population. Still, for those it does line up with, it’s a nice touch. Urgh, pun.
Overall:This is a very nice quality prosthetic for the price. I really like the detail on the prosthetic in terms of realism, and touch. The feel without the rod (and if wanting an erect feel, with the rod) is incredibly realistic. In hand, it just feels right. The coloring could be a little more realistic, as per the intial “paint upgrades” previously offered, but for silicone it’s nice to have various shades available for purchase. I could use a slightly smaller receptacle area, having come from the peecock which was my go-to, daily packer for the past long time I became accustomed to a shallower recepticle. The packing situation is most dissapointing, and I do feel this will be rectified slightly over time when my packer bends to it’s natural state for my body and preference of positioning a little more – this happened with my peecock. As in, I like to hang to the left, and eventually my peecock hung to the left off it’s own accord. If we’re talking numerical scores, I’d give this product a 7.5/10, due to the aforementioned packing difficulties.
So my In-Laws have left (phew!) and will be back on the 2nd of January for a further week at our house.
Now I have exactly 9 hours before another guest arrives, in which I have to set up the guest room agan with fresh linen and towels, clean the entire house (which is far too large for just us, so it takes a good long while) and then meet and greet said guest.
Secretly, I wish it was going to be “just us” for a little while. I feel as though I have to have my game face on when we have guests and I don’t relax. Soon I’ll go back to work.
Anyway, just wanted to check in and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Little K got ridiculously spoiled, as per usual, and is now wading through a pile of lego sets building each one.
I have not at all forgotten about the Freetom review. I’m thinking I’ll likely want a bit of alone time even when guests are present, so I might barricade myself in my room with the product and a video camera, or failing that I’ll do the detailed written and pictoral review, and leave the video review for when my Wife can be camera-person and ensure my anonymity.
As of right now my initial impressions stand well, however I am still having great difficulty finding a setup I can feel comfortable packing it in. A harness is something I feel the Freetom really needs, due to the excess silicone near the recepticle having to be pressed tight against you in order to not have the boner effect.
I just did a massive first impression post and tumblr ate it. Boo.
I have my in-laws here fo Christmas so I won’t have the space to do my video review and in-depth photo review for a little while.
First impressions are fantastic. The realism and quality far exceed my expectations. The recepticle is a little on the large side which makes packing difficult, but the pee function is easy as pie. Especially if you have success with Peecock type recepticles.
There’s not long to go until Christmas, and we have only one weekend at home before we host Christmas for Wife’s parents and her family.
Needless to say, between work and preparing the house/land, I’ve not had much time to sit down and write. For that I do apologize.
All is well in our little family, though. K is so grown up now it’s beyond a joke – I feel like his maturity has soared in the last six months. It’s hard to put my finger on exactly what has changed, but all I know is I feel very blessed to have such an amazing little man as my Son.
K has had a big fear of swimming and putting his head under water in general since a rather horrific swimming lesson experience in Kindergarten where the teacher literally pushed his head under the water, and threatened him with a lack of Santa that year if he didn’t do it himself. Needless to say we fired that swimming coach, and it’s been a work in progress ever since.
We finally convinved him to give lessons another shot – I mean we live in Australia surrounded by gorgeous bodies of water, rivers and oceans. It’s just not safe if you don’t know how to swim around here.
So last week K had his first one-on-one, swimming lesson since Kindergarten. We didn’t tell the teacher how phobic he was, deliberately. She knew he was an absolute begginer but had no idea just how terrified he was at the thought of water over his head.
Within 10 minutes, K had jumped into the pool, had the water over his head and was doggie paddling across the width of the pool by himself.
This progressed to doing a series of Pin Drops – jumping feet first into the water, arms by your side and springing off the bottom. I was in awe. The instructor is absolutely brilliant, K was having the time of his life and although you could see his fear a little bit – he also knew he was very safe.
Proud is an understatement.
He says he can’t wait to go back this week, and can’t wait to finally go along with his school friends for group swimming next year.
SIde note: I am aware I need to review the Freetom Prosthesis! Had a little bit of a stuff around and I ordered it later than I anticipated by a few weeks, so I’m still waiting on it. Hopefully it will be here before Christmas and I promise to give a good review. I’m taking three whole weeks of around Christmas/New Year – I’ll have the time. Thanks for your patience.
So, my Wife found an old dvd filled to the brim with youtube videos I made from very early on in my transition. Obviously I’d deleted my channel a very long time ago – but it’s so odd to watch these videos and reflect on the past.
Also embarrassing. Super embarrassing.
I’m still here, checking tumblr each day!
Haven’t had much of a chance to post as I’ve been working a lot, but rest assured I’m still seeing all the rad posts you all make.
I’m not sure if I’ve answered this type of question previously or not, so I’ll give it another go.
K has difficulty peeing standing up. Well, that’s not entirely true – he just prefers to sit. I often lament this is because I occasionally sit at home and he’s seen me, but despite having his grandfather literally school him on peeing standing at our request – the kid still feels more comfortable sitting.
I can’t blame him to be honest, I mean it’s much more comfortable.
I didn’t feel comfortable showing him how to pee standing up because I felt my prosthetic wasn’t realistic enough and there would be awkward questions.
He pees standing in times such as camping, car trips, side of the road emergency pee-stops and the like. He is very able to pee standing, he just simply chooses not to!
