Trouble with sexuality/sexual experience, can I have your input?

So basically I feel frustrated. I'm preop but I expect to get my SRS done sometime early next year. I'm a year in on HRT and besides not getting much physically I feel as confused as ever sexually. So whenever I'm doing something of that nature, I feel like a girl for a few then I get frustrated because I realize the parts are wrong. This happens about every time. So then my mind shifts over and not only am I doing the act with boy parts, my mind... makes me feel like I'm a boy too. Sadly it feels way better too. And I CAN'T STAND IT. I feel undermined because we as transpeople have to jump through sooooo many hoops to get our letters and everything and these little doubts are basically used as evidence that you might not be trans and that this surgery might not be for you. I've seen it used by peers and sometimes professionals. So then I'm just sitting there wondering if I like it more because I get frustrated, despair, and (for a few moments) the mental feeling matches up with my equipment or if this just might be a real warning not to go any further with transitioning. What compounds this is that I'm mostly interested in women. I always have been and I wonder if it's because I feel I should just use my current equipment that way because vaginal is penetration and I'm not into anal right now. I have no idea and when I forget about my physical mental mismatch, sometimes boys become really attractive to me.
 

The reason I'm asking this here is because people reading this tend to have gone very far with transitioning. I'd like to know if the way you experience sex has changed and if so, at what point? If you understand what I wrote above (probably not :P) do you experience times when your mismatched body and your gender identity actually match up? And does SRS play a role in any of this, such as negating the frustration that leads you to feel more masculine?

Thanks everyone I really appreciate it!! :D

im not speaking for everyone but i feel like not all trans women like men. I would consider myself a woman and at the time i have not had GRS but you just have to play your part. with me i know that one day I will have GRS  but for now sexually i use the equipment i have. regardless of what equipment you have everyone finds away to be sexually pleasured. with that being said only you will know what you really want when the time comes. I know when the time comes and i dont have my male equipment anymore ill figure out what pleases me sexually. hopefully this helps. dont stress though we are only human. life is 90% about guessing and 10% about knowing.

Pre op I used to just closed my eyes and Imagine myself as the woman receiving the deed even though it was different in reality. That state of mind helps after GRS to find my mojo back since it doesn't really change at all and now it is with the proper part.

I never had interest in sex or masturbation pre-op but I'm aware after hanging out with other trans that most people do not feel this way. Some people have zero genital dysphoria at all.

I'm a lot more comfortable with my body post-op and now enjoy intimate situations.
I will touch a 100 flowers and not pick one.

That's a really good description of how it worked for me, too.  Pre-HRT and pre-op, even though I had male genitals, whenever I was sexually excited I always visualized myself as a woman and imagined myself receiving vaginal penetration.  Sometimes I also received anal sex from men, but inside my head I was experiencing it as vaginal.

As HRT progressed, erections became rare, but I still had pleasurable feelings from genital manipulation (as reinterpreted inside my head).

After GCS, it took a number of months for nerves to reconnect and a lot of exploration for me to get used to a new way of experiencing sexual excitement.  But the outcome is great.  I have lots of erotic sensation in my clitoris and the lower part of my vagina, and I can readily experience orgasm through both masturbation and intercourse.  And now, I don't need to pretend any more - no more mental reinterpretation of genital feeling.

Sorry to ask this but did your refractory period go away? Does it commonly go away? I'm curious because it sounds like it is supposed to with just hrt alone.
