My MTF girlfriend is a few months into HRT, and lately she has noticed an increased libido, and she's been having "wet dreams." This disturbs her, because she's been told that orgasms will hinder HRT. I haven't been able to find anything to corroborate her fears (gladly). Anything you can tell me? She's pretty freaked out!

Kia Ora John,
I can't say I've heard this before, what normally happens is it drops, but I guess it's a YMMV thing...
I'm sure other more well informed members will be able to shed some more light on the matter...

My libido didn't increase or decrease.. But it did change..
I can't see by what process an orgasm would hinder HRT. Here's a link with some references: http://examine.com/faq/does-ejaculation-affect-testosterone-levels.html
Which shows no change in T levels, but does show a prolactin level spike..
Apparently abstinence will cause T levels to rise..

The 1st 3 weeks on heart my libido went through the roof then crashed for 2 or 3 weeks and then I learned I needed foreplay to arouse.
