What effects will HRT have on my errections?

[jenn90210]

Yeah my little monster is more for her then me. I just wanna keep her happy too but to tell the truth i'm thinking I want SRS... Anyways... But untill that day comes I gotta use my little monster to keep her sexual appetite at bay. I swear shes has a mans sex drive.. I start next week on HRT then its a long road ahead. Im still gonna keep everyone updated on how long it works or doesnt.

  is your little monster a lady gaga fan too? lol

ive heard a lot about people who play around with different hormone brands until they find a combination/ brand that allows them to still function in terms of erections , actually have you considered contacting a pre op/ non op girl online who works in the porn industry? they would know all the tricks about how to keep functioning/ keep the ability to get erections becuase their career depends on it

Mine aren't very firm after 6 months, it curves downward and is a lil painful if I do anything beyond minor touching. My ejaculation ... is non existant. You may want to bank sperm if you're looking to have kids one day because you'll probably be permanently sterile after 6 months.

I'm glad I'm strictly into men and a bottom only, with no desire for anybody to even acknowledge my penis, or I'd be in trouble huh?

Shoot.. some days I get on here and wonder if the real purpose is to just have boobies to look at when your gf / wife gets mad at you

bends downward and is painfull? thats a little strange do you think its the result of some kind of penile fibrosis ?

bends downward and is painfull?

I wonder if regular long term tucking could cause something like that.

No idea, but it never happened before HRT. Ever.

No problems with it otherwise, just when it's fully "erect"

I've been on hrt for a little over a year now, and I've maintained my functioning minus the ejaculation and random erections, which, I don't like anyway. At first, I lost function entirely, but after a few months my doctor added progesterone to the mix and that's when I regained my ability for erections. It takes a little longer to get one now, and will go away quicker if not maintaining stimulation, but I don't mind that. The size and girth of the erection is unchanged. I've concluded that the progesterone is what allows me to keep them, because if I stop taking it for a month, it will go away again. Hope this helps..

I've been on HRT for 4 years and this matches up with my experience.  It's been about a year since I last penetrated.

That doesn't mean we don't have an active sex life.  My wife always needed oral or manual stimulation to reach orgasm.  Now she even says she prefers manual.  She still has 4 or 5 orgasms to my one.  I think many women don't get much real pleasure from penetration.  She may get off on the idea of pleasuring a man and making him come though.

Even though I don't get usable erections any more, I find my sensitivity has increased.  My breasts are a major part of my sexual equipment now.  Once my wife saw my response to her sucking on my nipples, she really got into it.

In fact the one thing that can give me an erection is breast stimulation.   There seems to be a neural connection between breasts and the genital region.

I've agreed not to have SRS without her full consent, but I think someday that will come.

Bottom line:  You can be a great lover and give your wife all the pleasure she seeks.  Lesbians do it all the time.

Ok this is an update on this topic i started 2 months ago. So far I have had fast results on HRT its been amazing how much its effected my body. So far I have breast groth, loss of muscle mass, soft looking skin, my penis and balls are shrinking rapidly. I dont get erection at all anymore, when me and my wife try and have sex it takes alot of foreplay just to get a chubby. Then we try and have sex with my little guy and bam!!! It just get limp quick. So for me i guess I got my answer to my question. My Endo has me on an agressive dose of HRT and I really like his approach and im gonna say on HRT because Im liking these results, i can only emagine where I will be at 6 months or a year. So being a very sexual person all my life and pretty much having sex with my wife 4-5 times a week to nothing now has been a hard on me mentally but i did know this could happen.. So just an update to all of you that posted now you know how it went. But the positve is that my body changing result are moving so fast I never would have thought that much would happen. So I would say I have gained alot and lost a little, for my results.

Mmm. I was going to open a thread about when do you completely loss your erections and I find this... Looks like a total roulette.

I wonder what will happen to me. At this moment my libido is already lows and it's almost impossible for me to keep it strong enough for penetration, so no clue about the future while on HRT.

Would it be weird to ask the doc for a combination of meds that keeps it working until you are sure of wanting HRT?

[Nicolette]

I'd be very much grateful if someone could give me formula to stop them. My T level is barely readable, but I still often wake up in the morning with you know what. The only way to kill the thing for good will be to have SRS. Well, next year if all goes well, in my head. I wonder if that means I'll be very horny post-op.

[Apples Mk.II]

Can't say I would be sad if the beast would sleep more often. Specially during the mornings

Hope you get it soon. Wonder If will do it in the future...

So I'm about 5-6 months HRT now. Still no erections but it does get a little bit chubby when the wife puts in the foreplay but not really enough for full penetration but now we just sorta rub our parts together or my big clit as she calls it and now I can have Orgasiums. Even though it's soft it's still Orgasiums but no fluids are released not sure why that is. But my O's are so differant I would say longer and more through my body. But differant than before. So as I have learn now you don't need an erection to orgasium. It's will work with some practice. I have noticed that my current equipment has goten about 50% smaller than it usta be. I'm fine with it because tucking is so much easier now than when I first started transistioning.

As far as asking my Endo Dr for any ED type drugs. I'm not gonna do that he did warm me this could happen and it did so I'm not gonna look like a fool an ask for my cake and eat it too. Plus I found a new way that works great so I'm happy now. I still rather have a Vagina than my current equipment.

When I first started HRT I expected to become completely impotent and lose all sex drive, but that didn't happen. What did happen was a lowering of the sex drive and loss of involuntary and morning erections. Thoughts about sex also became less frequent.

After SRS though things changed more radically. My T levels dropped to the very low end of the spectrum for women and arousal is something I now sort of have to work at. It can still be triggered in an instant but not at will like before.

Before SRS I used to masturbate quiet often. I had heard that it would be good for me to do so, so I did (also I enjoyed doing it). No I don't do it so much anymore. I can think about doing it but I easily get distracted and forget about it. On average I do it maybe once every 2-3 weeks or so. (btw, I have no problem reaching orgasm).

One might think this change in libido would seem like a huge loss and a scary prospect, but it isn't. It's not the equivalent of a man that can't get it up when aroused. I don't miss "it" because it is the craving "it" that has disappeared. I still enjoy sex, quiet a bit actually once my engine gets going, but it takes more to light the flame. The only thing about it that bothers me a bit is the fact that I can't be as available for my husband as he would wish I was.

I'm getting a little off track here but the point I'm trying to make is that a drop in the libido doesn't necessarily have to be perceived as a bad thing when it happens. It's not like you loss it and you sit the cursing the fact that you can't find it. It's more like forgetting that you ever had it. One does not feel sad about losing something one can't remember having.

The change in libido happened pretty quickly though, so should it be a huge problem or feel like a great big loss there will most likely be plenty of time to bail before it is too late. Otherwise you are likely to not care that your libido has decreased.

it goes away unless you count morning erections.

I always hated it anyways. the only time I was ever comfortable with it was when I was with my ex - but then it was annoying since it seemed to happen at random moments. 

[Kelly J. P.]

... how many people here have lost all use due to HRT? how many have had no change at all?

I have had mostly no change at all. Morning erections appear to be completely eliminated, but as far as those that come when asked for... they come as told, nearly as easily as they ever used to.

I suppose it's lucky, as I still desire attention in that regard from time to time.

[JenAtLast]

Well, I guess my body was just aching for the estro and/or t-blockers.

Around the end of the first week, I could have erections, but no strong enough to penetrate. 
By the middle of the second week my semen had become absolutely clear, and by the end of the second full week erections were done...absolute toast.

While I was shocked at how fast it happened, I cannot describe how wonderful it felt to not have the "unwanted monster" doing it's own thing.
