Most Ts's no longer get hard

after about two years, ejaculate becomes a clear liquid
and reduces to a few drops, then nothing at all.
Sorry to piss on the fantasy, n' all that.

Hi Katey lynn.
Just to expand with my specific experience.
I started hormones 4 ? years ago,
self medding
on a relatively low dose
Microgynon
{Progestogen ? Estrogen combination}
I tablet / day
Levonorgestrel 0.15mg a synthetic form of progesterone
Ethinylestradiol 0.03mg is a synthetic version of oestrogen
Later I would be scripted by my doc, along with 6 monthly blood tests which are important.
Climaval {Estradiol Valerate} 6 mg / day
Finasteride 2.5 mg / day
Zoladex implant---chemical castration
This is part of an article I wrote a couple of years ago
{I might post up the whole thing, it's about transition}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hormones
...Like for example, my main drive for hormones was a more feminine body,
to match what I felt inside. Then along the way my reasons / motivations subtlety altered.
I'd read about how some Ts' derive a psychological benefit from hormones.
I used to think WTF is that all about? Do they delude themselves that
popping pills makes them feel female inside??? Well, actually, yes, it does.
A year ago, I had an operation & came off 'mones, for a 3 week period
& the testosterone rush was intense. Familiar, yet alien to who I was.
& its effects (mood-swings, stropy, argumentative, were real ncomfortable) Hope I don't have to do that again any time soon.
My bio/ chem hormone makeup was always just ?wrong? but it took this event to realise just how much.
And then, a more fem body started to appear.
Yet this was now a secondary benefit to the psychological benefit I'd previously thought to be a delusion.
Still nice to have one appear, anyway.
Sex
They say 'mones drop your sex drive.
Well in a ?hard-on gotta have a wank way?, they do.
But here's the funny thing. I feel more of a sexual & sensual being than I ever did as a man
(lets be honest, I used to be a man, I'm sure you can deal with that simple fact while you check out my photos)
Maybe its a spirit thing, of feeling completeness.
& sex is brilliant, even more than before. And it happens because I want it to,
not just because of the daily surge of testosterone through my body.
& everything is just much more sensual.
And real.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My personal observation is that sex drive is linked to mental standing.
Some pre-op transsexual women are ok about their penis some hate it and some are more positive.
Their sexual function seems linked to this starting position.
I was always ok'ish about the penis thing, while always detesting the look feel and presence of my testicles.
Someone touching them is yukky and for me a bit painful.
I still get hard, and if really turned on, get very hard.
{This seems unusual /rare for ts females, after years on meds}
Now here is something you don't want to hear:
I've shrunk by about an inch in length and a little in girth.
The problem is that getting very aroused really hurts.
Like a tire being over-inflated.
Ouch!
In summery
The majority of Ts women loose sexual penis function after prolonged hormone use.
Some Ts's still maintain sexual penis function after prolonged hormone use.
If you are on hormones for a substantial period of time,
and if you still maintain hard-ons, these will become painful.
One last thing
Offspring
Is there even the remotest possibility you want children at some future point?
Pre-hormones, I never considered this. This is not an issue for me,
but this oversight may have been....
If there is any chance you may want to pass on your DNA,
Prior to starting hormones,
Get your sperm frozen and stored by one of the companies who offer this.
It's not a permanent option though
as the sperm viability drops off significantly after being frozen for 5 years
After 10 years frozen, the sperm is not viable
