Orientation and asexuality

[myraey]

I have been pondering about this maybe too much. And I am ok with being anything and liking everything. So I guess it is just a bonus to think about this.

For those of you who have had shifts in their sexual orientation or sexuality how did it happen. How long did the changes take? How do you see yourself in your mind? If that does not match reality do you just deal with it? Were there clues before? Were you surprised? I just have declining in interest in women. I can appreciate female beauty as well as before but I just get bored. I am like yes I have seen that done that. It is just random people. I have not been dating for a couple of years. I have periods of several years like that. I wanted to get my gender stuff sorted first but that is just eternal work in progress. Maybe I need to experience that more but at the moment I can not get into any relationships.

I now see guys as well in a different light as well and have been considering them more compared to before. Yet I don't see that as an option too much either. Maybe I am turning asexual . Physically everything is good physically it is just mental for me. I consider transitioning and see surgeries as options as well some day. I don't know for sure where I would end up sexuality wise . But sexuality is just not that important for me to be a major factor in those decisions. Did transitioning and everyday life change anything for you in the long run?

I know nothing about you other than you suffer from some degree of gender dysphoria. Depending on how long and to what degree you have been ingesting female hormones you can expect a reduction in libido; hence a reduced interest in sex, with anybody male or female.
In my case, my libido fell off the charts. In addition the period immediately after my srs, my only focus was the pain. That period lasted closed to a full year. That was more than 45 years ago, so things now are much different. When l finally got past the pain and discomfort turned gradually to pleasure, l was surprised to find that my sexual interest had turned to men. So yes, in my case,  there was a dramatic shift in my sexual orientation.
