Question regarding sexual arousal

[Amaryllis]

Hey there, just a bit curious, since I'm trying to figure out what the hell is going on with my body atm. Is it possible for HRT to change the way sexual arousal feels.

Before HRT, sexual arousal felt very, how should I put it, confined I guess, like purely in the groin area. Lately though, I feel like when I get aroused, rather than just the groin area, I feel something akin to a wave of heat radiating from the stomach area and up my body. That and a tingling sensation throughout the entire body.

This happen for anyone else?

It's weird .-., I can't say I don't like it, but it been catching me off guard lately.

Yes, the entire mechanism of arousal and release has changed. Less focused in the genital area and more whole body.

Agreed, so many sensitive and erogenous area's

I honestly think it's caused by reduced testosterone rather than estrogen. For the ten years before I realized I was trans my testosterone production gradually reducing to below male levels. As it did my arousal pattern shifted to more female. Maybe the testosterone fueled penile sensations masked the slower acting peripheral arousal locations.

Wait until your skin softens...I spent hours just caressing myself. Arms, legs, chest...the whole body (but not so much "those unwanted bits").

Yes, for (most?) men it is all about that part, and penetration. For (most?) women it's all about embracing, foreplay, and...

*sigh*

Excuse me, I have to check something....
