Increase before T

[Joe.]

I hope this doesn't break any rules, but I'm interested to see if this is normal. I'm not on T or anything, but since I have accepted I am male, my sex drive has increased. It's like now that I know it's not wrong to feel how I feel and it all makes sense, I find it easier and more desire to get off. I hardly ever used to get off and when my depression was real bad I'd just stop completely. Now that I accept myself I don't find it hard to get off and I find myself constantly thinking about sex. I know this is normal post T, but I've never heard of a dramatic change like this pre T. I don't care either way because it releases stress for me but I'm just curious if it's normal.

Completely. It happened to me as well, as soon as I stopped trying to force myself to visualize myself as female.

I've always had a high sex drive (higher than the cis guys I've dated...) but when I try to 'be' a girl, I lose the desire. Possibly something to do with being yourself and not repressing yourself. Or something. I dunno.

Yeah, totally *nod*
When I think of myself as having sex 'the girl way', I feel kind of... disgusted... or violated. Turned off to say the least. While if I imagine it the other way around I actually have a pretty big desire to get laid the 'normal' way (even though I probably never can, but anyway...)
I used to think I was asexual for something like ages, lol

I've had this as well, from never having an interest to a couple of times a week.  I think it's because I'm not trying to do it as a female (i.e. penetrating) anymore, because that just throws me completely off.
