Sexual thought patterns GONE!

[Rachael]

I find it interesting that I'm not on T yet I already have these male thought patterns, always have. It makes me wonder exactly how much of it is driven by hormones. Hmmm... *smokes pipe and looks pensive*

I would love to see a picture of you with a pipe in your mouth

An interesting point...  In MtF blocking T generally reduces the sex drive on a male level, but I have experienced the taking estro has increased my sex drive as a female.  Are we pre-disposed because we are trans?

Very true...
no male labido, but i do have a female sex drive... its just different... and not like the whiney nagging child that is the male drive... oh wait....

predisposed to dislike sex ? is that what your saying Steph?
id disagree with that tbh, i know a lot of sexual and happy transfolk... then again, i know a fair share of non trans people who dont like sex or feel asexual...
swings and roundabouts...

I cannot speak for Steph, Rach, but just speaking for myself I got the notion she was writing that WE are predisposed to female-type sex drive due to our conditions. IOW adding the E and lowering the T may well make an MTF feel a natural sex-drive simply because it is, natural that is.

Let's see what Steph says.

Kind of agree with that.  I think the female sex drive fell into place rather quickly because it was more natural.  But the truth is this means I have periodic times when I am kind of craving sex, and others...well where I don't care.  As far as the female sex drive being different, yeah, thats pretty accurate, though I never had much of that male sex drive, it was more of an abstract to me. 

I do know sexual and happy transfolk, I am just one who discovered her sexuality a bit more because of transition, where it didn't much exist before.  The strange things hormones and more natural social situations do.  I also know transwomen who became very sexually active because of transition.  For me it was just a little tweak to being a woman with a low sex drive, but better then no sex drive at all like it was before.
