British Columbia’s Medical Services Plan currently covers male-to-female gender reassignment surgery, as well as female-to-male top surgery (mastectomy) and chest re-contouring. However, the province does not currently fund bottom-surgery for FTM citizens. Urge the British Columbia Ministry of Health to join the ranks of Ontario and Quebec in performing the surgery, and also to start including this surgery in their MSP guidelines.

Take Action! Sign the Petition.

Earlier this year, an article in the British Columbia newspaper, the Victoria Times Colonist, called for provincial funding for trans male bottom surgery. The article singled out phalloplasty and had no mention of metoidioplasty, a procedure that’s presumably more in-demand by transgender men. But is that presumption correct? To find out, we surveyed trans men interested in bottom surgery and asked: “If money were no object, would you choose to have a metoidioplasty or a phalloplasty?”

Does pumping work? Yes! There are numerous accounts of trans guys who have increased the size of their penis with a daily regimen of pumping. However, success with pumping depends on a high level of commitment and patience. For best results, pump twice a day, morning and night.

Measure Up

To measure the length of your penis, hold it straight out from your body and measure from base to tip. To measure the girth of your penis, wrap a soft tape measure around it to get a circumference measurement, or wrap a piece of string then measure that length against a ruler.

Cylinder Selection

Select a cylinder twice as long as your flaccid penis, and about 50% more in girth. (Example: If your penis is 1″ long and 1/2″ in diameter, then use a 2″ long, 3/4″ diameter cylinder.)

Warm Up and Get Pumped

Warm up by wrapping your penis in a warm towel for a few minutes. Simultaneously, soak the cylinder in hot water.

Dry everything off, then amply apply lube to your penis, as well as a small amount to the inside of the cylinder.

Position the cylinder to ensure a good fit and seal.

Pump to five pounds. Keep the pump on for as long as it takes for your penis to become fully engorged.

This shouldn’t cause pain or fill the cylinder completely. Check yourself frequently to make sure you’re not blistering or bruising badly (slight bruising is OK.) If you’re experiencing any pain, blistering or significant bruising, disengage the cylinder immediately. These symptoms aren’t the sign of permanent damage but you will need to take a week or so off pumping to heal up.

Advanced Pumping

Once you’re comfortable with basic pumping, you can experiment with increasing the pressure on the pump to achieve more length. Take a cautious approach, always being aware of any pain and bruising.

If you have a second, larger cylinder, you can try the Two Stage Pumping Method: complete the basic pumping technique, then increase the pressure to 15 lbs, disengage the smaller cylinder and attach the larger one.
