  If I’m reading this right, they degove the penis and extract it through the mid seam of the scrotum. From there, they extract the entire erectile structure and shorten the urethra to the front end of the perineum before ultimately reducing and connecting the scrotal tissue to create a smooth continuous surface.

  So I have a number of questions.

  Firstly, why the degloving? The outer penile tissue doesn’t appear to be used in this diagram, while I can understand doing it to provide enough tissue to work with for covering the area the penis was located at, it feels unnecessary to extract the entire shaft through the scrotum before removal.

  Secondly, where are the testicles? I was under the impression that fully removing them causes massive health issues because they do actually produce a number of important hormones. I suppose with the interior penile shaft removed there would be enough space to house them internally and the lack of thermal regulation wouldn’t really matter as it’s only really there for the visibility of the sperm, but the diagram does not provide that info.

  Lastly, I have grievances about the placement of the urinary tract. Anyone who’s changed a diaper knows that UTIs are stupidly common even in males if you wipe in the wrong direction. They’re a life long worry for females simply due to anatomical design. While this wouldn’t provide the the enclosed space or extra tissue that the labias do, it would put the urethra far closer to the anus than either existing design and in an area universally known for excess sweating, friction, poor air circulation, and retained moisture. This feels like a recipe for constant and fast spreading UTIs.

  Say nothing about the changes in hygiene behaviour you’d have to make moving from washing a penis to washing this, or the sensory changes that would come from having your anatomy rearranged like this. A UTI with this is going to feel entirely different than with a penis and that’s assuming the nerves needeed weren’t damaged or relocated in the surgery. You may end up with a full bladder infection before it even presents.
