Upcoming FTM Book: Eternal Fantasies
...where every longing finds fulfillment
Raziel Amador, half of the dynamic R&B sensation duo, (Trans)essence. Over the past eight years, he and his best friend, Soul, have revolutionized the music scene while advocating passionately for LGBTQIA+ acceptance. Despite overcoming numerous challenges and societal barriers, one formidable obstacle remains - romance. Battling the fear of being exploited by fame-seeking individuals or fetishized for his transgender identity, Raziel begins to lose hope of finding his perfect partner. However, when he stumbles upon the voice of an angel, his life is forever changed.
Enter Zamira McBride, a seasoned choreographer who has graced the stage with some of the industry's finest. With Jazz Amore, Raziel's sister and a rising superstar, as her best friend, Zamira jumps at the chance to tour with (Trans)essence as their lead dancer. Zamira views a world tour as an enjoyable getaway from her one-bedroom apartment, where she finds solace in urban fiction while fantasizing about an electrifying love interest.
Eternal Fantasies is a fun, steamy romantic journey filled with secrets, adventures, friendship, and messy queer drama. Step into The Eternal Fantasies World Tour, where every longing finds fulfillment.

Fictional Transgender Advancements vs. Reality
As a trans-man, I’m well-informed about gender-affirming surgeries for transmasculine folks and transgender men. However, I understand that may not be the case for everyone who reads my work. This book contains two fictional advancements. To leave fewer questions, I will briefly compare reality to the inventions I created.
REALITY
Phalloplasty is a surgery that those who wish to construct or reconstruct a penis have. This surgery creates a penis using tissue flaps that may come from a patient’s forearm, thigh, or back. These are called “donor sites.” Large and permanent scars may fade but usually remain visible on these sites. These donor sites give those who have the procedure sensation in their penis; the sensation varies per successful surgery and by which donor site is utilized. While creating the penis, surgeons often extend the urethra, so one can urinate while standing, form the glans (head of the penis) and construct a scrotum. Phalloplasty is extremely personal to whoever receives it, so some folks may opt for less or more (ex., some folks born with a vagina might opt to keep their vagina in addition to a penis). After surgery, medical tattooing can be done to advance the aesthetic of the penis.
Those who get phalloplasty may also get an erectile implant. These implants are either:
Semi-Rigid: These rods are implanted inside the penis and are always firm. When an individual wishes to get erect, they simply raise their penis upward and then downward once disengaging. While this implant usually has long-term use before needing replacement, some feel the constant need to try to conceal a boner is worrisome (since the penis is always hard).
Inflatable: Inflatable implants use a fluid-filled reservoir implanted under the abdominal wall. A pump to this reservoir is placed inside the scrotum. When an individual wishes to be erect, they pump the fluid by lightly squeezing their scrotum until fully firm. Once finished, they press a valve on their scrotum to deflate.
Trans men often do not have the same visible “cum” as a cis-men. However, some are able to produce fluid when aroused. This is because their Skene's gland remained intact. Skene's gland is what produces “wetness” and “squirting” in those born with female anatomy. Even if their Skene’s gland is still active, it doesn’t mean every trans man with the procedure can visibly ejaculate (technically, it’s more of a dribble).
Trans men cannot get people pregnant—more than likely (ex., some intersex transmen exist).
FICTION
In the wonderful universe of Taylen King, phalloplasty and donor site scars exist. However, there have been advancements when it comes to erectile implants. The Erection Enhancer uses biomimicry and responses from the brain to assist those with erectile dysfunction or phalloplasty receivers to have organic erections. With the installation of a microchip implant, the neural network communicates when aroused, sparking blood flow and forming an erection. Does it make scientific sense? Somewhat. Genuine researchers are looking into this, but of course, with further details, inner pieces, and information that I have access to.
In this universe, one can opt to undergo a specialized genetic modification. This modification produces sperm and allows the possibility of getting someone pregnant. An artificial sperm production chamber is built within the recipient, partnered with genetic editing and testosterone therapy, causing the possibility of impregnation.
In short, trans men may be able to experience natural erections and get others pregnant in this universe. However, that is not the case in real life. Though these procedures haven’t come to pass in reality, advancements are currently being tested and researched. So, this all may be achievable in the far, far, far, far future. If you are a trans man or trans masc or feel you may wish to have any FTM surgeries, I highly recommend Subreddits for further information and experiences. If you do not wish to have FTM procedures, research is more than fine, but please respect any sacred FTM places you enter.
Your journey on The Eternal Fantasies Tour begins February 22nd, 2024. Leave your worries behind because every longing will find fulfillment.
I hope you all are as excited for Eternal Fantasies as I am. As you can see, Everlasting Embers got a little spin. Over the past weeks, I’ve written so much…that got scrapped. I’ve been through so many story ideas and graphics that it’s a shame. I will be using my other ideas in the future, but this book seemed perfect for now. It’s going to be extremely fun. I’m excited to explore through fiction. I’ve never really written any scenes outside of the US, but we will be all over the place in Eternal Fantasies. So, I hope you guys are excited. It’s gon’ be real spicy.
Normani has always been a main character I’ve been wanting to “get off” for a while. This role fits her. Finally, she’s employed by King’s Palace Productions (DFLSFSLKD).
The good thing about being “stuck” trying to figure out a new book is that I enhanced my Photoshop skills like crazy. I’m excited to add more graphics to my books, making them more realistic. If you see something cool in the middle of a chapter, just know it’s purposeful. Anyway, are y’all excited about Eternal Fantasies?
Thank you all for being patient and reading my work,
Taylen (he/him)
Yes Puerto Rican characters I’m so hype
