Title: How would I be able to keep my high sex drive during HRT?

As I've stated in a prior threat (also created by me), I do not want to lose my desire for sex (with women) while I'm on HRT, for the main reason being that I'm running a Clips4Sale video store to help pay for my hormones and surgeries.
Losing my sex drive is something I still fear before I start taking hormones (which I haven't yet started but will after I schedule my first appointment) but that fear kind of went away when I learned that there are supplements to be taken to boost sexual desire. Anyone else have any experience with this?
It's kind of weird but... I kind of like the idea of men coming on to me, hitting on me and flirting with me BUT I still want to be attracted sexually to women. I will date men though.

Bicalutamide (Casodex), an anti-androgen, will block androgen most effectively while maintaining sex drive (and spontaneous erections) since it does not cross the brain-blood barrier. On it, testosterone levels will rise but will not affect you. Estradiol will also rise. The result is increased feminization. To avoid menopausal symptoms, adding a small dose of estrogen should suffice without compromising your sex drive. Ask your doctor about this. Good luck! :)
