Aussieguy > I\'m not sure how it works in the US, but this kind of evaluation is in the competence of psychologists, which I happen to be
New1inch > So you don\'t understand the reasoning, yet judge harshly and you \"know\" it\'s not for aesthetic purposes? Sorry, but you don\'t even try to conceal that you don\'t use logic.
And why you have to believe I\'m US resident? Well, I\'m not but how is it even relevant?
Yes, the main purpose is aesthetics. I like the look. I prefer this kind of look. I prefer the look that doesn\'t hide elective nature of the result.
And thank you for your concerns regarding stylish clothes. I already tried them - no major problems except for possible need of wearing one size bigger.
Briceb > Yes, it\'s not without impact, but it\'s surprisingly manageable. Even things like running, climbing, long sitting etc. And the concealability is pretty good - right on the brink of \"attracting attention without making clear what is actually so different about the look\"
[Edit] Lakingsfan > For me, it\'s about going to extremes and showing it to people I\'m willing to show it but hiding it from the sight of others. And surprisingly, even this size has been pretty concealable. The bulge is there but I never have my pockets empty - it turned out that a handkerchief, cell phone, keys, wallet or other things in pockets change the shape/profile of trousers in a way that the bulge becomes nothing extreme.
What you see in photos hasn\'t been planned to be exact model of what I want, only approximation to see how the bigger options would be affecting my day-to-day lifestyle. And surprisingly: not significantly.
Coolhandluke > Thank you for practical remarks. I think torsion shouldn\'t be a problem since the implants tend to stick to the wall and testicles can be sewed to the scrotum (I\'ve been told it\'s routinely done as a prevention of torsion). Given the possible weight, I would be very careful when avoiding necrosis. Going in multiple steps would be a possibility, but I think I would rather prefer expander implants or previous regular stretching with saline, which should result in thickening and strenghtening of tissue.
But sorry I must correct you. OCD you mentioned is a kind of disorder that is unrelated to what we are talking about. And dysmorphia is a very specific disorder of self-perception that requires that the person is not aware that he/she is taking things to extreme, the perception is distorted. But I am very well aware that what I want is \"extreme\" compared to what is statistically normal and that I am even above average.
It\'s my choice and I don\'t see who else should be blamed or praised for results than the one who commissions them (given that he has been informed about risks and the one responsible of surgery doesn\'t do mistakes beyond inherent risks of the process).
This kind of look, that is somehow extreme relative to other people\'s choices, is in accordance with my idea of aesthetic beauty. It\'s not a perception of beauty calibrated by such parameters as \"being as natural as possible\" or \"being as normal as possible\". It\'s something else requiring more open-minded approach when trying to apply any standards of beauty to it. For many of us, it\'s terra incognita
I believe a lot of people here are doing what they do because they feel they are too small and want to see themselves as more or less average (or a bit above average). Their motivation is the feel of lacking, of deficiency. For me, the motivation is growth, striving for something a lot above average. Yes, objectively I don\'t need it ... but most probably almost no one here objectively needs enlargement.
It\'s about the feel of what we want. What we consider beautiful.
About approaching of what we see as ideal. About what we feel that would be right for us. For me, I feel THIS is what would be fitting for my person and that it would be in it\'s very unusual way beautiful.
