The 'phantom limb' may sound more familiar to you. Amputees still feel their missing limb. But what about the phantom penis syndrome? It characterizes post-operative heterosexual and transsexual men who have removed penises due to cancer or trans-sex surgeries.
A team at the University of California in San Diego, USA, discovered that 60 % of heterosexual men who had lost their penis due to cancer stated they still felt like having a penis, while the sensation persisted in just of 30 % of male-to-female operated transsexuals.
"We explain the absence or presence of phantoms in these subjects by postulating a hardwired gender-specific body image in the brain that does not match the external [birth] gender. Before birth the brain may develop an image of the body that may not necessarily match the physiological outcome," said lead researcher and phantom limb expert Vilayanur Ramachandran, a phantom limb expert.
The UC team presented its work at the 2007 meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society held in New York City. The team also investigated female-to-male transsexuals, finding that 60 % of them stated they experienced the sensation of bearing a phantom penis since early childhood. The team believes that this strengthens the concept that genital mapping of the body is hard-wired before birth, and could be a biological factor, predetermined before birth, explaining why transsexuals perceive a misfit between their 'gender identity' and their anatomical sex.
The concept is in the cradle now, but it is based on how we perceive our body as being determined mostly by innate hard-wiring of our brains developed while we are in the womb. The phantom limb is another misfit between body image and reality reported by amputees who still "feel" their lost limb, but also by people born limbless. "Phantom limbs are purported to be the result of 'cross-wiring' in the nerves of the brain responsible for the missing limb and surrounding brain regions," wrote the researchers.
The phantom penis could have a similar cause, and the patients could still describe the organ's shape and length and even the sensation of 'phantom erections'.

Background:
Perception of a phantom limb is frequent after an amputation of an upper or lower extremity. Phantom penis is reported infrequently.
Method:
Case description and literature review.
Result:
The phenomenon of phantom penis followed total penectomy. Several aspects were unusual, particularly the existence with phantom only in the erect state, and associated recrudescence of a preoperative painful ulcer. General features of limb phantoms after amputation are reviewed including a résumé of recent studies of cortical reorganization. The phantom process is analyzed looking for clues to the nature of the underlying neural organization. The puzzle of phantom pain is briefly touched on.
Conclusion:
The development of the phantom is attributed to activity in the deafferented parietal sensory cortex.

The phenomenon of phantom limb post amputation is very well documented, but the idea of a phantom appendage that has never actually existed on a person’s body has not been widely studied.
So I speak here only of my own personal experience of my own phantom penis and how it relates to the Joystick .
To start with, try this little experiment. Find a small twig, and holding one end between your thumb and index finger, run the other end over a variety of surfaces, exploring the sensations you feel in your fingertips as you run the twig over a wooden surface, a glass surface, a concrete surface, a pillow, a sofa, whatever surfaces you find in your immediate vicinity.
This is fairly analogous to the experience of having the Joystick attached to my body. I think in large part because my brain is wired to feel like I should have a penis, when I’m wearing it, the sensitivity it provides me, far exceeds what one might expect from a prosthetic device. I can very clearly FEEL the inside of my partner. Add to this the visual of seeing a very life-like penis actually attached to my body, and my bottom dysphoria all but disappears. This is the only prosthetic with which I have been able to achieve this level of connection, which I attribute in part to its realism but mostly to the vibrating base (which I always keep on the lowest setting) that somehow allows for real feedback to travel from the shaft to my erogenous zone. The Joystick really does become a very real extension of my body.
The term “transsexual” is widely rejected in the trans community. It is a term related to people who have undergone surgery in order to change the appearance of their genitals. The term’s use is rejected because it essentially creates confusion in the binary community by making it appear that transgender identified people only have “mental” issues with their genitalia, and that transsexual people are the only ones who undergo surgery. It’s like saying the appearance of one’s sexual organs define their gender, which is untrue. What about intersexed people?
Understandable. If you don’t find the term transsexual relatable that’s your prerogative, but others do. Personally I don’t like the term either, because to me it sounds like it confuses and conflates sexual preference (eg homosexuality) with gender identity and hence I find transgender more accurate. To me being transsexual should mean someone who is attracted to trans people. But I think when you’re quoting from and linking to an article, that it’s appropriate to do so accurately.
How does the joystick work? That big ball on the end, does that sit on your growth or does it go inside your hole?
Thank you for speaking up about that, Sean. I completely agree.
Alex, I disagree on both your points.
1) It’s incredibly fetishistic when folks (cis people especially) say that they’re only attracted to trans people. So I don’t believe “transexual” has literally any place in our vocabulary.
2) I would’ve quoted it like this: “… this study on transgender folks (CW: contains outdated language)”
That is not what transsexual means. In fact it’s pretty much just the same as transgender anyway, just not an umbrella so it’s more specific to those who use it. But since many people seem to be uncomfortable with the term I understand where you’re coming from Baer, nothing wrong with disliking it if you’re more focused on gender than physicality. W/e, you be you :)
Sorry, it was the weekend, and I hadn’t had a chance to check the site.
That’s not actually what transexual means. I was just applying the same linguistic logic that is applied to homosexual. Personally, I’m also surprised that some trans individuals prefer to call themselves transexual over transgender, but each to their own. Buck Angel is a case in point of someone who considers themselves transexual rather than transgender, but then you could argue that contributing to the fetishizing of trans people is something he participates in for a living, seeing he’s a porn star. I just think there needs to be room for a diversity of opinion and experience on this. I also think that as a person attracted to trans people, you’re often damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
Alex, I know you are just doing terminology damage control because people are offended by a medical term others actively use, but to say that’s trans fetishism to show yourself naked on the internet as a trans person is pretty large double standard. Unless you’d say that about gay or lesbian couples as well, that’s a real big step backwards. But I’m glad you’re accepting of diverse opinions on trans issues – as you can see I guess I have a different one than you, and that’s not a bad thing. We just have different ways of seeing it, but the criticism of him just seems backwards.
Max, I agree. I don’t see any issues with anything Buck Angel is doing. I’m just saying that “you could argue that” not that I believe that personally. As I said, I often feel that people that are attracted to trans people are dammed if they do and dammed if they don’t. If someone was to say “I’m only attracted to biological women” that’s not fetishizing, but if someone was to say “I’m only attracted to trans men” then that’s considered fetishization and problematic by many. I just wish people would let people be people.
I completely 100% agree. I personally don’t think that “fetishizing” trans people is a thing. Because maybe someone is attracted to the male physical body but only likes woman. In that case they would be strictly attracted to trans women. And if one were to say that the man attracted to only trans women is truly gay, that’s invalidating the trans woman and the man saying that it is wrong or not possible for the man to be attracted to women with male genitalia. And just like with heterosexuality, homosexuality, or (and I know I’m going to get backlash on this one) pedophilia, or beastiality, we don’t get to decide who we are physically, emotionally, sexually, platonically or otherwise attracted to. (***Now PLEASE understand that I am NOT condoning pedophilia in any way, because children can’t consent to sex, and even if they do, most people still don’t find that socially acceptable because no one except the child themselves can TRULY know whether they were consenting or not and if they knew what they were consenting.)
And just like you said, it sucks that people are criticized whether they do or whether they don’t like trans people. Because a lot of people see it as, you either are transphobic for /not/ being attracted to a trans women/men, or that you are fetishizing trans women/men because you’re attracted to them.
To clear up the issue of the label “Transsexual”, it is indeed an outdated term and it does have a VERY specific usage. Please remember that the word “Transgender” did not exist prior to sometime in the very late 80s or early 90s and, for a long time, it was only used by professionals in the medical and p
