Very Strange question??

[Just Shelly]

I recently obtained some skin numbing ointment in a prescription strength for my electro....it seems to work fairly well, especially on that nasty upper lip.

Ok, hears the strange question. On the precautions it says it can be used on the genital area....what I would like to know is if I use it on the "penis" part would it work to stop erections!! I really don't think it would...since what is causing them has nothing to do with contact.

The reason I am asking this is because I have been seeing someone that isn't aware of my born gender....I have never had problems with casual erections up until now!! But every time we start to be more intimate I also become bigger!! It totally disgusts me and I am not sure why it is happening....plus its a little hard to hide even tucked. I thought maybe I could use this cream to stop it from happening.

I feel really weird asking this....like it is wrong or something!

Hi Shelley,

Firstly, no you are not weird, and it's not wrong to ask such a question. In the stage of transition, EVERY question is legitimate.

Secondly, no. The cream should not stop an erection, as erections are caused by a multiplicity of sensory inputs. You just may temporarily lose sensation of the exterior parts of the penis.

If you intend trying it, select a small portion of the gland and try a test application to gauge what reaction, if any, may occur. You don't want to damage this sensitive skin should you intend to offer it as donor material at a later date.

What? How do you know? Maybe he will. I go out, well did go out, now it's all FWB and BFF, with this guy and we have so much in common and when we met he said he would never be with me. Ever. He just couldn't. He's a conservative Christian. But, low and behold, it's happening. Maybe its fate. I also have a lot of good answers to his questions about God and how that I believe God is just and good and beautiful and everything that is good. So, I can't imagine a God that would purposefully want me to be unhappy when there is a solution. I explained how unhappy I have alwys been and barley knew happiness until the month before I met him and how if he knew me before he would never hang with me cause I was such an unhappy, up and down person. My point is this: give this guy a chance.

But do it in a public place. Explain things. Think it through. If her really loves you, he will stay or at least remain friends. He will understand why you didn't tell. You pass amazingly well so explain to him also how it isn't gay to be attracted to a woman. Even if you are a trans woman. Trans is the adjective. Woman, what you are, is the noun. And he might not put two and two together for awhile if you can keep it taped and tucked. [I re-read that and saw how it might me offensive to unpassable trans women and i'm sorry. I don't mean you have to pass to be a woman. It's just society is what it is and pretty trans women get a pass. Pun intended.

Also, I feel you. I never, ever get erections. But sometimes when I'm next to this guy, or sleeping and cuddling, it just happens. Ugh. It's disgusting; you're right. I just got prescribed prometrium which will bring T down even more, but it also increases libido, I think. Not entirely sure. But i'll let you know the results.
