Any post op transwomen willing to answer questions from a pre op transwoman ?

[Stephanie Sammantha]

1: Do you get orgasms ?

2: Do you get multiple orgasms ?

3: Do you like others touching your breasts ?

4: How different does your skin feel to you ?

5: Your fat redistribution ?

6: Do you or others notice you smell different ?

7: Do you notice changes to your physical strength ?

8: Do you notice a reduction in your muscle mass ?

9: Did your sex drive change ?

[Ms Grace]

I'm not post op but I think you'll find most of those questions will apply equally to women who have been on HRT for any length of time. It's the hormones not the operation that changes skin, muscle, smell, strength, etc.

[OCAnne]

1: Do you get orgasms ?
Getting close but not yet.  Was not something I worried about for my post SRS life.

2: Do you get multiple orgasms ?
Maybe one day if I'm a good girl.

3: Do you like others touching your breasts ?
Sure, but they are kind of small.  I like it when others touch them and the 'new parts' of my body

4: How different does your skin feel to you ?
Very, very, VERY SOFT!

5: Your fat redistribution ?
Face, hips, thighs and butt

6: Do you or others notice you smell different ?
I don't ever smell.  No longer use deodorant even on hot sweaty or tense days. I still get very sweaty at times.

7: Do you notice changes to your physical strength ?
Everything seems much heavier. Often wait for men to do the heavy lifting.

8: Do you notice a reduction in your muscle mass ?
Did not have much muscle mass to start with but I have seen a reduction in neck, legs and arms.

9: Did your sex drive change ?
While on HRT sex drive disappeared.  Now post-op I am often a cat in need of a mate!

Added: On HRT 8 months? prior to SRS.

Thank you,
Anne

Well a few of the questions might have to do with hormones...

-post op there is after some time a receding of testo and related substances like dht, so there might be an additional feminizing effect.
So tthere is a possibility of more rounded breasts... some fat redistribution... and some reduction of muscle mass..
Also there is no need for anti androgens any more.
One form of hrt uses implants and injections to drive estro levels well into the female range, which drives t down and thus no anti androgens are needed. Lower doses of e might do here then.

-post srs its still necessary to have a hormone level well in the female range, not in the menopausal range.
Some people also need a low dose of testosterone for orgasms.

Thank You. I was more wondering how noticable it is to the individual experiencing them.
I read about the effects, and was wondering of more a subjective experience from a self-witness point of view.
The objective scientific stuff I could just read about, which I do.

Thank You Very Very Very Very Much. I didn't answer because I wanted a sexy answer, but, your answer to number 6, sexy sexy sexy.

[Debra]

Yeah as some have said, only a couple of these apply to being post-op really. The rest can happen / deal with post-HRT.
That being said:

1: Do you get orgasms ?

Yes

2: Do you get multiple orgasms ?

No

3: Do you like others touching your breasts ?

Yes

4: How different does your skin feel to you ?

Good =) It's been 6 years though. Not sure I remember what it was like before.

5: Your fat redistribution ?

It was ok for me. I got some breastage but not much hips/butt. Maybe a bit of thighs though.

6: Do you or others notice you smell different ?

Well I don't get that manly B.O. anymore but I can still smell w/o deodarant...it's just a lighter smell. Also downstairs, there's definitely a *ahem* feminine smell esp when I havent had a shower in a day or so and/or have worked out and am sweaty etc.

7: Do you notice changes to your physical strength ?

Kinda? I work out 5-6 days a week and I definitely still have a muscular-looking build but I'm not necessarily very strong....I just look like it. (ie: doesnt take much for my armsand legs to look muscular)

8: Do you notice a reduction in your muscle mass ?

Maybe? I didnt work out as much before transition.

9: Did your sex drive change ?

Definitely. After HRT started, I no longer needed or felt the need to masturbate daily (or multiple times a day)....but still did every few days or so. Dysphoria with my body pre-op definitely made it weird too so I didn't do it as much. Post-op, I feel like I ramped up a bit and I masturbate probably about 2x a week and have sex once or twice a week with my husband.

Hi Stephanie,

1: Do you get orgasms ?

Yes

2: Do you get multiple orgasms ?

Yes

3: Do you like others touching your breasts ?

Yes

4: How different does your skin feel to you ?

Softer. Damages easier.

5: Your fat redistribution ?

Changed from mid/lower torso to pelvic area.

6: Do you or others notice you smell different ?

My personal aroma is very subtle and sweet type, not the acrid version it was pre HT.

7: Do you notice changes to your physical strength ?

Lost a lot of strength.

8: Do you notice a reduction in your muscle mass ?

Substantial loss of muscle mass. To my body shape advantage.

9: Did your sex drive change ?

Yes. Takes longer to get there, but OMG when I'm there, I'm there. Takes a while to leave 


Speak to you as soon as I've finished my thesis.

YOU GET MULTIPLE ORGASMS ?!?!?!

[OCAnne]

Hello Everyone, just to clarify.  Although I no longer experience traditional body odor.  'The not so fresh feeling' and vaginal area scent do require frequent attention.  I found going without panties helps keep things fresh.  Always carry a couple pairs of panties in purse just in case modesty dictates.  I followed advice from the other girls in the office. 

Added: No panties option only when wearing skirts and dresses  Otherwise ouch and think twice about wearing clothing such as jeans and shorts without washing!

Thank you,
Anne

[Jenna Marie]

Yeah, I'm happy to answer questions as one of the relatively few post-ops, but all of that was changed by HRT, not GRS.

Well, except maybe the orgasms one - "does it still work after being rearranged" is a common question (and for me, YES, it does, though it takes more work than before). I've had multiples  couple times but got tired...

Otherwise I had the typical answers to those questions; yes, my skin and breasts are more sensitive, scent changed, muscle mass changed, sex drive became less demanding, and I've gotten quite an hourglass figure (38DD-30-44).

Along those lines, I tend to change my underwear immediately after working out....otherwise the sweaty down there can sometimes cause yeast infections over time.

Nothing against changing... but in general:
https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,190342.msg1695485.html#msg1695485

"That pill made a huge difference. I smell and taste amazing. I feel healthier down there and all over. I self-lube better. And I haven't had any re-occurring yeast infections or BV.  I swear by this product! I've read on other forms about it, which other people also swear by -- I've read stories of women having problems for 10 years and taking a vaginal probiotic stopped it.


Well... talk it through with your doctor..."
