I wasn't really sure if i could ask this question on here, but someone lead me to it if i was having this trouble.
See i'm a straight trans male (FtM), and my Gilrfriend is a straight cisfemale. who accepts any part of my body and sees me as fully male.
Now she can easily orgasm and such, she gets off very easily, in anyway possible. But me, i have not much arousal whatsoever, i'm not really sensitive and in the 'inside' it feels like prettymuch nothing and i feel like peeing andit also hurts an eency bit, all by a couple fingers.
We're pretty awkward when it comes up to looking up lesbian sex, because we're as female and male straight you can get, i've got a strapon, but my clit doesn't feel much at all, and in my mind i just wish i had the right genitals, chest and voice all the time...
We're finally together after a 2 year long distance relationship, and i'm very sexually fustrated, i just don't get turned on by anything.
Does anyone have any good ideas, sources, help, websites.

May I chip in from the "other side" (MtF) if I may?

The more my dysphoria surfaced the less I was able to do much with sex. This was in boy-guise and also pretty frustrating since guys are expected to do it all the time, every time, 24/7 time, in their sleep if you wish (well, some actually can? :-).
Cuddling and snogging was great but about it. Also, I WANTED to do more but couldn't and it was really frustrating. Many sound familiar?

If you ask me, it has more then anything to do with dysphoria - so long all other things are in good order, plumbing etc..
I'd think the advise with T sounds good to me, because if mine rises to a certain level say without taking AAs things are much more looking up (pun intended :-)
Which in "our" case is not SO welcome for many of us... um.

Well i find my girlfriend pretty attractive, and i do get aroused over sexual thoughts, which ido tend to think of all the time, i've been sexually excited about this for a long time, but when it came to the moment, i just don't feel anything, it's like i don't get aroused enough to feel anything really. I can get off when masturbating, but only with extreme thoughts for long amounts of time. I don't think i'd be concidered asexual, but i do suffer from clinical depression (I think mostly from the gender thing) But i don't know if that's the problem.

Thanks [8.
I actually wanted to know what it's like for you guys, since i was confused with it.
And yeah, I haven't started T yet, and i won't for a little while was the problem is all, i guess in the end it is the dysphoria sadly.

xybergeist- there are lots of guys (and ladies) who feel the same way. Its not that you dont want to, its that the parts just get in the way. I'm the same way.
if you want to read more posts similar to yours, theres a thread for that :) easily missed as you can only see it when logged in, but under the "just for us" forum, there is a "sexuality" thread.

also, positive reinforcement tends to help me get by. When I'm feeling down about my bits, I like to read buck angels twitter/tumblr/facebook. He's the "man with a vagina" as he calls himself, and his main agenda is breaking gender stereotypes, and proving that the penis doesnt make the man. He's also a porn star, and a body builder.

I don't normally respond to these type of threads since I am either shy or uncomfortable about it (not from a listener point of view but from discussing it personally) but I was in the same situation for the longest time with my girlfriend who is also a heterosexual cisgendered female. I was also pre-T and pre-op during although it did get worse at times while first starting T. It might help if you slip a small vibrator in between yourself and the strap on harness, you can also get harnesses with a little pouch for them too, that way you can actually feel something while using it which should hopefully get rid or decrease your dysphoria.
The story is the same, I've just personalized the name.

As the others on here have said, I think it's just your mind not really connecting with your body/identity during the moment. I'm a very sexual person, I get horny a lot and am constantly thinking about sex (Lol, tmi :P) but I can't interact sexually with anyone with my own parts, I can't let anybody near them, no matter how accepting they may be. It's just something my mind and my identity won't let me do.

This describes me exactly. I used to believe I was asexual because I tend to be very apathetic towards couples and people in general. Until I realised that my real problem was that I was this gay man inside with all the wrong body parts that no man would ever want. Very frustrating.

I actually have the opposite issue (high testosterone, plus the ability to orgasm multiple times leads to fairly constant sexual arousal/masturbation), but my spouse has a very low sex drive, so I can offer some of what helps for him.

You've said that you find your partner attractive, which is a wonderful thing and should help with these exercises. 

Have the pair of you tried exploring your body to find erogenous zones that don't center on your genitalia?  They show up in some very strange places.  Back of the knee, elbow, shoulder, neck, ears, jawline, stomach, etc.  Try doing an evening where for at least an hour neither of you touch the others genitalia, instead kissing and stroking along places that might seem odd to find something that just turns you on.

It's said that absence makes the heart grow fonder and that's all about what this next exercise is about.  Try having a night where one or the other of you can touch the other anywhere you like, but the other can't touch back.  If you're into it, light rope binding can help.  The reason that this sometimes works is that people can reach a heightened state of arousal without any contact of their own body simply by controlling their partner's arousal.  Effectively it's a 'power trip', but, just like the prior suggestion, it removes all contact with your own sexual organs, which might help reduce dysphoria.

'Dirty talk'.  Whether you have one physically (yet) or not, being told all the things that she wants you to do to her with your 'rock hard dick' can be a huge turn on.  If you're into it, have her talk it up.  There are even ways to 'dirty talk' cleanly, though you might want to look into up fairly 'classy' erotica for the purpose of that.  I like to think that I write such, but mine happens to be centered for gay males.  Odd as it sounds, there's a beautiful scene in Anne Rice's 'The Mummy' that might tantalize you both to read.

While I can't guarantee any of these will work, they do help with my husband and I.  I wish you the best of luck.

I sort of feel this way except for the "same parts" bit.

I can also relate to what Kvall mentioned about being with someone = totally different from getting off by yourself. The later I have no problem with, but with anyone else I was always a anxious, nervous, anxiety-ridden wreck with a bunch of "rules" the other person had to follow. Not the best place to be in for sure!

So I'm definitely not an expert advice-giver but I think one of the main things beyond the physical part is a mind over matter thing. You've got someone who accepts you the way that you want (major bonus), that should alleviate some stress I would think (it's very hard to get off when you're stressed!) but maybe what Da Monkey said might help out in the physical dept? To me it's also not out of the question if someone needs to touch themselves while doing it to help.

i would say masonm's advice is worth giving a try. exploring each other's entire bodies without any manual can teach you a lot that you didn't yet know about yourself. i only ever had one boyfriend, the relationship sucked, but the sex was good as we paid attention to each other when doing it. we even managed to get through a large part of the kama sutra without ever looking at the book, we just alway tried finding something that felt good and avoid the things we found out didn't

Thank God I bookmarked this. I really don't know what to say for the emotional stuff you're going though since I tend to keep emotions out of sex, even with someone I love. As for the physical I thought this might help. You can put it on any strap-on or prosthetic so you can feel along with her. No, I unfortunately have no idea what the difference is between the two XP.
