Firstly, here’s wishing you all a happy new year!
Hoping everyone had a great holiday and is feeling full of optimism for the brand new year ahead!
So, how did the rest of the year play out as far as progress on the Bionic goes?
Well, the exciting news is that it’s actually looking like we’re going to have two Bionics. The Bionic Basic and Bionic Deluxe. The basic will be a hydraulically actuated device that will be completely manual. It will be activated through a discreet push on the side of the shaft to open a valve that will allow fluid to flow from the testicles into the shaft. The Bionic Deluxe will have the same look and shape, but will be electronically actuated through a variety of input sensors. At this stage, we don’t know if we will be able to implement all of them by next year, but that’s ultimately the goal.
The input options being explored are: An insertable remote control that can activate erect and flaccid states through pelvic floor muscle contractions, a handheld version of this remote for those that don’t want to insert or don’t have strong enough pelvic floor muscles, and we are also looking at a touch-sensitive shaft that responds to stroking. Lastly we are also exploring pairing it with a fitness tracker that will read an increase in heart rate to actuate an erection. (But don’t worry, there will be an override “off” switch so you don’t get a woody when going for a jog.)
It’s all very exciting progress so far!

So is it still uncut? For partners that are homosexual is it possible to use this on them? Will it work well for male to male contact? Can you use condoms with it? Has anything major changed that you would like us to know about? Would it be available by Christmas? And could you go stealth with this or can people tell? I would like to be as stealth as possible with the help of this device. Thank you for your time
Not sure about cut or uncut. It will depend on what works better. It should work fine for male to male contact, but would definitely recommend condoms for hygiene. Christmas is ambitious, but not impossible. The idea is to make is as stealth as possible.
In the case of stealthness, hair would probably be a good idea to have as an option, whether a part of the final product or something to buy and add to it.
Yep, we’re on it :)
This space is too small for all the comments I want to leave! I have one of your pissing Packers and I still have trouble using it without it running down my leg. I want one that I can use without the hassle of using two hands and that looks natural when at rest and not sticking straight up. The one’s I have that Lay’s at rest are way too small, no bigger round than a size 7 ring for a woman so when wearing pants it’s as if I’m not a man. It’s important to me to look anatomically correct. I’m on a fixed income and I’m definitely not getting any younger so bottom surgery is almost looking impossible . I’m hoping soon I can get something that I can be very happy with!! Thank you so much for continuing to make better and usable products!!
Touch sensitivity shaft sounds super cool as well as the heart rate monitor great progress
So, the way the Bionic Basic achieves erection would be more like how you would achieve an erection after phalloplasty, and the Bionic Deluxe would be more like a natal penis in the way it achieves an erection?
If you go with the fitness tracker option (which would be super cool, in my opinion, and is my favorite option) would you have to create your own special tracker or would it be able to sync with existing trackers like Fitbit and Apple Watch?
Yes exactly. It would come with its own special fitness tracker.
Dude this is amazing, and an awesome indication to how far the research and design is progressing. I’m so pumped to replace phalloplasty (and all the other procedures) as a realistic option for my dysphoria. Like, you have no idea how relieved. Thank you for all you do.
Do you still need donations for this project? Any idea if I could make a small monthly donation?
This is late but I see he hasnt responded. Yes, he still needs donations for the second step of the process. You can find it on the bionic tab near the bottom, past the first step with the complete fundraising goal. And there is an option to “make this a monthly payment”
Whoops! Yes for some reason I didn’t see your comment Clark. You can find the donate option at the bottom of this link http://transthetics.com/the-bionic-stage-1/ with the option to donate monthly. All and any donation is of course huuuuuugely appreciated :)
I’m so excited about the future of this!! To be able to have this 24/7 and for it to have the multi function of flacid to erect is clearly so ideal.
In order to start saving, is there a ball park figure for how much the Bionic Deluxe would cost?
It’s hard to say at this stage, but it’s probably safe to say it could easily hit the $1000 mark.
This is all sounding so good. I could go for either a basic or deluxe. I just signed up for monthly donations and might give you few bigger amounts depending on how much money you make. I really want to see the bionic become reality. I was going to wait for phalloplasty to become cheaper down the track, like after 10 years, and then I was going to use a rod. But this makes it all so much easier.
I’m sure this is going to be very expensive to buy when available! How are the trans community going to afford this when most cant even afford a packer or Stp
Exactly my same reaction to it thats a very steap price when most cant afford the most realistic ones now at a few hundred
I think its purpose is more for an alternative to surgery. $1,000 is much cheaper than phallo or even meta. And if its function is perfect and works the way we’re hoping, it will in fact work as a 3rd option for a lot of people :)
Any update to the launch of this? I’ve been checking randomly for about a year now.
It often feels like one step forward, two steps back. We’re at the stage where we have a functioning prototype of the bionic basic, but I still want to refine a few aesthetic elements before doing the first demo video.
I’m excited to see this become reality. And use it until the complications on phalloplasty are much less. But what is not completely clear to me: do you feel it when someone touches your shaft or not? And do you have to clean it out immediately after you pee?
Is there a discount on future product if you donate?
Big donors will be offered a “front of the line position” once we go into production.
Is this a one size fits all? I feel like it may be too big for me when I bought it
Yes, it will be available in one (average) size to start.
I also worry about price and size. Also will it be a stp.
I have 2 questions:
1.) Does average size mean 4, 5, or 6?
2.) (this one is kind of 2 questions in one) when do you think this product would be completed for production runs to start? Because the donations seem to not being going up as much as I thought considering A LOT of people want it to become a thing. I’m too young to donate and I don’t want my parents finding out that I even want this, but if I could donate all my money I would. And is there a different and faster way to speed up stage 2?
1) average in flaccid is about 3.5 inches. Erect, it’s about 5 inches.
2) that’s very hard to say at this point. I’ll be keeping you updated on progress via the newsletter at http://transthetics.com/subscribe/
Please make it uncut, or maybe two options for either cut or uncut, as long as uncut is an option. I really want that. This project sounds amazing, thank you so much for putting so much time and effort into this. If it ends up working as well as hoped, it will be amazing
man make it so we can have it to 6- 8-9, no girl is goin to want a five incher and i shore as hell dont want to be that small
Really amazing product. I can’t believe this is even a possibility and well on its way to becoming a reality!!! Thank you so much for the time you’ve invested in all your products and especially the anticipated Bionic. May I ask two questions:
1. Will it be possible to make an uncut version include retractable foreskin on top of the realistic texture?
2. Will the vaginal plug have to be inserted and removed daily/periodically or is it something you do once and never have to think about again unless you engage in penetrative intercourse, go into a pap smear, and such?
1. Very likely it will be uncut in flaccid state and cut in erect state so that it looks natural in both states, ie the foreskin will roll back during erections which is often also the case in the biological human penis
2. You would insert it when/if you’re anticipating wanting to use it so only inserted as needed.
Thank you so much for your reply, in that case I will wait for the deluxe. So assuming I opted for the cochlear implants (the loop method still isn’t fully convincing to me although it might in the future) as an international buyer would I have to travel or could I buy the implants and instructions and find my own surgeon locally assumingly? Thank you so much and sorry for all the questions, I’m just really interested in this product.
You would find your own surgeon locally. There are surgeons all over the world that perform the Cochlear Vistafix surgery.
This is terrific.
Would the bionic come with an Apple Watch app? Also, is there anyway it can be bigger and 3.5/5? Like maybe 4 flaccid and 6 erect?
Yes it will be apple watch compatible. And exact sizes in both states are yet to be determined but it will be something in this range.
I’m so excited about this. I have a couple of questions. First, will the deluxe have all the features the basic has? Or will they each have their own advantages? Is the difference in launch date and price both sufficient for it to be convenient to get both or should I just wait for the deluxe? I have missed some of the news, last time I checked it was going to be attached to you through magnetic cochclear implants that required an intervention, is it still so? How would it work for international buyers? Last is there some type of waiting list one can be signed up to? I will definitely start saving for this.
The deluxe and basic will be quite different in terms of how the erection is achieved but essentially, yes the deluxe will do everything the basic does but be electronic. However the price difference and launch date differences are likely to be significant. And yes, the cochlear implants are still in the mix as an option, but that won’t be mandatory. As we’re still so far out from a launch, there is currently still no waiting list.
Thanks again for your second reply, I’m definitely saving for this
Make it 6-10inches long and girth wise4- 8 iinches with diffrent skin tone along with pigment decoration with beautymarks or pubic hair.tgis will increase your buyers spending along with a more variety of people.we all are different dont make it hard for the ones who aren’t white

Hi, I just had a few questions.
1. I have read the comments and would like to ask if both cut and uncut will be an option as I personally, aswell as others would love to have the option available. I am very much wanting cut.
2. I plan on buying both Bionics seeing as the two will have vastly different release dates. But are both compatible the same way with the magnetic implants? Could I simply change from the one to the next? Also how would it attach without coming off during sex? But then be removable when needing to be cleaned? Would it be very difficult to remove with magnetics or how exactly would that work?
3. Would the Bionic be waterproof enough to be submerged in water? Such as in the pool or beach swimming?
I’ve been reading and keeping up to date with all the latest news regarding the Bionic and am beyond impressed with the research and technology that has gone, and is going into this. This is something I’ve dreamt of and no one has ever done before. This is Revolutionary for me. Thank you so much for the efforts and hard work you guys are putting into this project to make this into a reality.
1. In order to make it look as natural as possible, it will most likely be uncut and then when in erect state the foreskin will pull back to make it look cut. That’s so we can maximize the length.
2. Theoretically yes they will be interchangeable, but keep in mind that the magnetic implant are currently a maybe. A lot more research and development needs to be done on this system. At present we just know the system exists (Cochlear Vistafix if you want to google it) and it has been used for bone anchoring penile prosthetics.
3.Yes it will be waterproof but should never be taken in to chlorinated water.
Please don’t make it really big, and cut please.
I’m getting so excited about this product as I’m reading more and more about it, but I’m worried if I’ll be able to afford it or not.
How much will it cost? Do you have an estimate?
It’s hard to say at this point, but most likely around the $1000+ mark.
since this product is going to be really expensive, can you promise that it will be a good stp and not cause too many accidents?
The STP function will have quite a number of product testers testing it to ensure it’s working for people, but I can’t ever promise that it will work for everyone.
Hey Alex, Top Of The Morning To YaaH ????
I Have Just One Question, But It’s A *Two-Parter. In So Far As Complexion: What Can We Expect? [Ahm Medium Tan] Will We Have Have Prosthetic Complexion Options?
Can’t Wait For This Beautiful Product To Hit [Not Really Concerned With The Trivial] AnyThings Better Than *Hard Non-Flexible* Rubber LoL
My Sincere Congrats ????
Rican
Yes it will be available in a variety of colors :)
Hey Alex I’ve been reading about this for awhile now. Just curios about the lubrication and the ejaculation. Would this be something that needs to be refilled or how will that work. I’m sorry if that sounds like a dumb question just wasn’t sure. Also wanted to see if there is anyway to contact you or someone else from this project privately to discuss donations. Thank you for all the work you and the entire team are doing.
It will work the same way that it does with the Joystick and the Hot Rod, ie it’s a refillable reservoir under the tip. And you can contact us anytime at transthetics@gmail.com :)
I think this is amazing…I hope there will be options of shades ..Cut or Uncut …With a length bigger than 5-6 …Personally I prefer a cut penis 7-8 . I’m also going to donate if those options are available
Hello, I just have a few questions
I know this is a prototype but I have a question for in the final production
1. Are you guys going to add more details aesthetically like veins and more detailed painting as well as movable skin and layers like reelmagik has?
Also the balls do seem a bit big and could be a little smaller and more detailed and have the feeling of like almost real balls how gendercat has or something with their amaze balls
2. will you guys offer different sizes or will their be one whole size?
im kind of interested in a size that has at least 7 inches insertable/penetrative length and i know you guys have something for the wearer that will stimulate them while using it for play but some prosthetic companies have like a pleasure pocket option so when they use it for play they can feel the suction of their movement with their partner which really is a great feature and really kind of makes you feel more connected to your prosthetic because it’s like you actually feel the movement and everything and I know you guys already have a design ready concluding how the prosthetic is going to stay attached to the wearer but also I think maybe having a tab would be useful if that doesn’t work out or as another option but then again adhesive can get rlly messy,,
3. Also since this is intended to have a battery in it i believe if thats what i read correctly, does that mean it cant be worn when in the pool or shower or jacuzzi etc?
4. Last but not least would you have to wear a condom with it when used for play? Or will the material be durable/safe enough to use without when penetrating?
anyway that’s all I really appreciate what you guys are doing in your project and I look forward to all of this! :)
1. It will look very realistic and we are doing feasibility studies of movable skin presently. The balls are tricky as there’s so much going on in them, so it’s not as easy as reel magic’s silicone balls.
2. To start with, just the one. Possibly others in the future, but that’s currently unknown. The insert for the vibe will be ribbed as an insertion alternative. there will be a variety of attachment options including adhesive tab
3. unknown at this stage
4. no
I was reluctant to embrace anything, but considering the advancements in science and the various options being considered, I think maybe my penis could be my CIS penis without surgery after all! *happy*
