I hope that helps some.

I'm not looking for an expert's opinion, but someone's who can relate.
Thank you for your reply. Probably, there would be something hormonal involved.
Stress can screw up your testosterone balance, as far as I know. And I happen to have been under a lot of stress lately, not only due to the whole struggle of both surgery and post-op, but also due to my job. Or ex-job, if you know what I mean.

I do understand that you have had a major change in your life. Everything about your penis and your sex life has changed. The feelings have changed, the emotions, the looks, your attitude. But it has really only been a month since this all happened. It's not going to feel "right" for a while...not until you find your new "right", and become comfortable with it.
Now I know it's off your topic a bit, but I injured my back and I have been slowly losing sensations in various parts of my lower body. This includes my penis. Over the past 3 years, I have lost the feeling of touch, temperature and wetness. Those are like the core feelings for a penis. But after talking to my doctors, therapist, and taking Viagra, I am finally working to accept the new status quo and trying to find a way to make sex work again. I personally know what I had before and I want it back, but you didn't want what you had and now you have something new, but don't know it that is "it".
My recommendation is take it slow, be patient. I personally think that your current blockage is just because you are overthinking it. You're putting too much pressure on yourself.
I hope this helps.

Your input is anything but off-topic. So don't apologize.
And of course it helps. Any change in your body (be it a surgery, an accident, anything) might be serious enough to change, also, the way you experience your own sexuality. Maybe it's just a matter of time, yes. I've been pretty anxious all my life, why would I change now? lol Just kidding. But sure, I'm the "I want to see results and I want to see them right now" kind of guy. And it's been only one month since the surgery, and barely a week since I'm stitch-free. So...
I agree. I'm overthinking it. I'm so very aware most of the time of my brand-new state. But it feels weird, though, not to feel attracted to anyone... My biggest fear is that, even with my foreskin removed, I kept avoiding intimacy and human contact.
