mostly on individual, the type of surgury performed, and several other things. sexual frequency can inded replace for most. lubrication is generally needed (but some GG's need help with that too) there is a procedure being performed that mostly eliminate the lube part, I know a few that have ha it done that way & are happy, others seem to have had complications. In my case, I dont think of as dilating any more, just me and some better functioning toys having myself some fun. I'm not sure what long term requirements would be, as mentioned B4, different ways of preforming the surgury, prob. affect the amount one needs. Those of us having surgury in recent yrs. likely need to do things differently than our sisters, that had such done even 10 or 15 yrs ago, and those that had such done even longer than that prob. have other needs.

One of the things I've noticed tho in our Charactor Cathy is the constant complaint of being sore after after intercourse, I could see this maybe 1st few times but even if Simon's hung like a horse, by now in their sexual relationship, unless they woing it mutiple times or 3-4 hours at a time, I'd be concerned, as something doesnt sound quite koshar.

I know some of my answer is evasive, but truth is there is I think at current 6 different accepted ways to perform the surgury. with varying degrees of success due to individual, and time which one had their surgury & whom performed it in 1st place. techniques have evolved from the earlier surguries as much as medical knowledge & technology.
