Couldn't resist reposting this explanation from a bodybuilding website. Kind of explains the situation with FTM 'undercarriage' :)
OK, biology 101: We ALL start out with a clit....ALL! at about 12 weeks into gestation, the amount of testosterone present will determine (along with the genetic code) whether or not it remains a clit or becomes a penis. Same material, same nerves (glans), just different configuration.
If the signal is to stay female, the overies grow in the abdomen, the labia does not close and the clitoris stays small. If the signal is to go male, the clitoris elongates into a penis, the labia closes to become the scrot, and the testes (ovaries) drop into the scrot.
The mature clitoris is an immature penis head, with no urethra, but exactly the same glans, which is the nerve bundle that causes orgasm. On the female, it's 100 times more sensative than the males, which is why it has a clitoral hood (similar to an uncut man). The clitoris splits into 2 legs - surrounding the vagina on the inside, which is why some woman are vaginally orgasmic.
If a woman has high testosterone values because of AAS use, the body is fooled into thinking it might be male. One of the results is the clitoris attempting to become a full-fledged penis. It actually will develop into something looking like the head of a penis without the urethral opening. Now, a normal clitoris will swell with blood during sexual excitement. The chemically enlarged clitoris has an extended shaft outside of the vagina and will get erect, just like a man's penis.
The chemically enhanced clitoris is no more sensative than before, except that it might not have the protection of the clitoral hood because of its size, causing more direct contact that could be good or bad, depending on the source and the present state of emotion.
;D
Most female bodybuilders I know love this side effect....makes you wonder....lol
I still say that because my mom had very high T levels while pregnant is why I ended up with something that is way more penis than it ever was clitoris. Be nice to have another inch or two but I'm not complaining. That's one of the few things I've never complained about lol
I look forward to having noticeable (even if just to me) erectile tissue.

Growth isn't necessarily as much as you think.

At the gym in the showers I have seen some GG's that are serious roid abusers and they appear to have a penis in front of there vaginal canal. However, I don't know if the opposite is true perhaps some exotic hybrid surgical procedure but then there's finding someone to do that??
I think it's sexy as hell......... :)
Me too....I honestly couldn't be with a 'regular' girl....I am warped....lol
