If told you would lose your ability to orgasm would you still have transitioned?

[missymay]

Orgasms are important to me, and I'm not willing to go the rest of my life without another one, so, I'm still deciding whether to have SRS or not. And if I decide in favor of SRS, I am only considering the best of the best surgeons to do it; and yes there is still a risk, but it's minimized.

[LizMarie]

I would still complete my transition without any doubt whatsoever. As someone who actively considered self-harm "down there" and having discussed this with my therapist, it's something that I have as a personal high priority to get done once I can afford it.

[FalseHybridPrincess]

Yeap Id still transition

[MikaylaGC]

I'd still transition. My testicals are like so small now its just like well good luck with making me 'ejaculate'(possibly TMI lol), but heres something interesting and Im not sure if this is just me or what. Ok say something is going on sexually, when Im aroused I basically leak fluid, same as before(males do this just prior to sex ie. natures lube) except now it happens alot, throughout the process, pretty much constantly. I cannot ejaculate anymore, wont happen, it would fall off or cause me so much extreme discomfort from endless friction that its just a waste of time, but interestingly my brain still goes through the motions of an 'orgasm'.

Like I said this could just be me, or it could be quite common with Tgirls, not entirely sure. And tbh, I prefer this way of orgasm, it lasts forever, can happen multiple times, and less mess....yay!

[Lady_Oracle]

Well our outies do not function like a cis man's penis. We have to go through the same motions mentally any other woman goes through to orgasm once we're on hrt. And orgasms are all about the brain first, not just physical stimulation.

Anyways to answer the thread's question, yes I would still transition. Orgasms are great and all but I have tons of things I want to do in my lifetime and I'd rather do those things as my true self than living a lie with lots of physical and mental pain.

I think I would be even more inclined to transition if I was told that I would never be able to orgasm again. I really would prefer to never orgasm as a male again though I would definitely be interested in having a female orgasm at least once.

[CrissyMarie]

Here is my short and simple answer to that question.  Yes, because becoming a woman for me is worth losing orgasms.  It's entirely more important to feel comfortable in my own body then it is to have an orgasm.

[Missy~rmdlm]

Yes.
I never had a high libido, that's why I have cackled when the marriage counselor recommended a sex addiction mitigation therapist. I like sex well enough, but it doesn't run my life.
My my most recent orgasm was a few days pre-op. I feel I will have no trouble in time post-op in due time after some more healing issues are resolved. If not, no biggie, lack of orgasm, won't preclude sexual activity for me anyhow.
I'm living my life in the most outgoing, fullest experience ever. Even deep skeptics like my mom have conceded that I'm a changed for the better person.

[SneakySeksy]

Well after 1.5 years on HRT I can no longer get an erection. It's just silly to even try. I DO NOT miss it. I have learned how to orgasm in different ways than I used to. Not being able to orgasm would be devastating to me. But I still get a thousand times more satisfaction knowing that my body is changing and I'm more happy then I've ever been in my life, orgasms or not.

Then again, SRS isn't really the holy grail of transitioning for me.

[Nicolette]

Hmm, I never thought of that, but I can wear skinny jeans, really tight ones, with no tucking. Nothing shows. I could probably wear a bikini. With enough time on HRT, this should happen. I think?

You're lucky. I never looked right, even with super tight tucking. Some jeans I've got even show residual post-op swelling from srs!

[Jess42]

OK so what are we calling Orgasms? I have never been able to have "manly" orgasms cause the danrn'ed thing will just not stay up that long if at all. Girls laughed at me and some guys loved me and it would take a while to even get it a little hard and then it was like, "If not now then never" and kind of like a rabbit. Fast and quick and then debatable. I faked more orgasms than a cis girl. The tounge though never let me down though. With girls an hour or two, with guys, well I just ain't gonna' say. Even laughed at, no complaints from either or. I must really be screwed up now that I think about it. Crap I ain't never had anything but lesbian sex or girl sex in the place I won't say and then I had the "O" with a little help from the hand. Now I guess the dysporia is kicking in.

I guess I'm just abnormal though. So it really never has been a big deal to me.

[ImagineKate]

LOL, I never really enjoyed sex anyway. I wouldn't miss it.

I would like the female version though.

[Northern Jane]

HE!! YA! No hesitation at all.

[jillayne]

Yes, without a doubt. I have only anal sex now.

[JennX]

Yep. So much more to life than sex.

IMHO... and YMMV.

[Evelyn K]

Yes, without a doubt. I have only anal sex now.

[Christine Eryn]

That's would be like owning a Ferrari that tops out at 40 MPH, if that makes any sense. Whatever happens to me physically down there is worth it to complete the total package. Of course, I'd like to keep my ground shaking, tremor causing, mind numbing orgasms if at all possible.

I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter. How do I achieve a "ground shaking, tremor causing, mind numbing orgasm" too? Any secrets of the M2F kind to share?

Might it require a swing set?

[Kaylee Angelia]

No one need lose their ability to orgasm... The genitals are but a stimulus (pleasure) receptor but it is the "brain" that both causes and experiences orgasm.

This is why paraplegics can achieve orgasm by having by having their elbows rubbed.

Once you truly accept and learn this truth..."nothing" can keep you from achieving orgasm...and nothing can make you orgasm harder than what you want to.

Sort of gives a whole new meaning to the term "sex and chocolate" doesn't it?

I had a minor orgasm once just from eating dark chocolate.
