Hormones and Erection

[Bionca]

Hormones are tough to gauge as the way they affect the body has so many variations - dosage, initial levels of estrogen/testosterone, genetic makeup, etc. It could be that just reducing the levels of estrogen and/or anti-androgens will do it, or maybe not. If yes, then the results won't be evident probably for a few months or longer. The down side is some of the feminizing parts fo HRT will also start to diminish.

She could take Viagra and probably get some of that back. I understand that many of the gals in the sex industry do just that. I agree with you that any mucking about with her HRT should be done under a doctor's observation since it isn't something that's safe to adjust on your own.

It brings up one thing that has recently been bothering me. The recommended levels of hormones for transition are FAR greater/lesser than would be found in average women. There are some within the community who feel this is a hold-over from the 50's and 60's when pre-op trans women were expected/assumed to be completely sexless until SRS. Evidence of sexual activity (particularly if it involved our penis) was reason to deny any further progress and access to any transition resources.
