Title: Curious about testicle condition after HRT
Post by: Beth Andrea on November 15, 2011, 12:35:23 AM
I've read a few things about testicles after HRT that I'd like clarified, to the best of your experience...

After being on HRT "for awhile", the testis either:

1. Shrink...

2. Turn to jelly...

3. Stay the same...

4. ?

Mainly I'm thinking of the "turn to jelly" comment. Are they still formed, but much softer/squishy? Or do they become actually liquified?

:o

they mostly just shrink and shut down, but are still there, and will resume producing testosterone if you stop hrt

1 & 2

But I've been having more activity down there. I went from 8 1/2 inches to 6 inches after HRT. But my days of topping my gay lovers are over with(for like 3 years now...LOL)

1 & 2, and partially retracted.  Slightly softer but not "squishy".  Definite shrinkage of the gronic also.

After just 7 weeks of HRT, major shrinking - and more sensitive, but then that goes for the whole groin area. Actually, it's like the sensitivity that used to be all concentrated in The Head has spread out over the whole groin instead.

After over (6)six years ON . . . they've retracted internally to point where one can barely see, even notice 'em . . . less than a friend who's actually had an "orchi".

i think everyone is different, depending on meds, overall "abuse" lol and, or course, genetics.

( some meds "block", others "inhibit" greatly affecting how the body's own "feedback loop" responses with "tucking practices" also varying mileage )

Hmmm if your a woman... wouldn't you call them your heterosexual lovers? Unless of course your talking about being sexual with women!    ;)

Thanks all (and if others are reading, feel free to still post)!

I'm not on HRT yet, but have noticed times when my "boys" are smaller than how they normally are...probably a function of how often I have sex, I suppose. (I wonder if it's a personal perception issue? Like when I'm feeling "manly" they're one size, but when I'm feeling "girlie" they're another?) Think "jumbo olives" versus "small olives."

I'm a weird one, I'm likely to buy some calipers and measure them, just to know...

I asked mainly because the "turn to jelly" comments almost make me nauseous...It's one thing if they're like a honey-packet from KFC (firm skin, jelly inside) but it's another thing if there's like "green slime" (c) just floating around inside the scrotum.

Length (of the penis) is always an exciting thing to talk about...but how about firmness? Is it useable, or just mildly hard?

That's where I am now. The entire groin area is erogenous for me, the penis is really secondary to that kind of pleasure. In fact, I'd just as soon not be touched there at all.

A woman can have sex with a gay man. My former friend did and had two children by him.

My A4A account was on fire years ago. But yeah, it was the sacrifice one had to make.

If "useable" just barely, depends again on meds taken and, if anything, PAINFUL is definitely a direct function of "firmness" so if "together with a partner" is important to you then I suggest you find another way for sure ! !

I have to agree with that. Since I lost some inches, I get some pain from stretching I'm guessing.

Sure they can. After all, and technically speaking, all types of people can have sex with each others and even objects. But having the ability to have sex with someone or something is not the same as having a sexual orientation towards that specific subject.
Yes, I know that plenty of gay guys have had sex with both females and T-chicks as a fun one thing, to "try it on", or, to parent a biological child, but they never repeat it, for the simple reason that their attraction is towards masculinity, regardless of genital apparence of the other person. Hence there are plenty of gay guys that would really like to have repetetive sex and serious relationship with a masculine pre-op T-guy, but no gay guy that would want the same with an überfeminine pre-op T-girl, no matter how well endoved she is. If he do, he is not genuinly homosexual but rather bisexual leaning.
Unfortunately, many people both in and outside of the Gay-community equals bisexuals with homosexuals, so it is not odd that the subjects get mixed up the way they do as being one and the same although they are not.

Well, that's all fine and dandy, but it doesn't say anything of eithers sexual orientation, only their genders. ;)

A lot gay guys, and otherwise, want "family" but yikes! really can't imagine why a woman would want to do THAT at all !

Oh yea! Forgot! The "meal ticket" thing~ nothing else to do? lol Sorry! Been a rough divorce, now that we're truly "unmarried", perhaps we can "just get along" after all? 

Standing joke is: wife BROKE mine long ago!

He is a realyl good looking guy and is more or less a glorified sperm donor. But he helps her raise the daughters when he's not out partying, playing sports, getting in my other gay ex's pants, or being a little catty bitch.

My friend's sister was married to a guy and had two children with him.  After the children were years old, he came out to being gay.
It is possible to be married/have children with a guy who didn't admit to being gay until after all was said and done.
Not looking to argue, just another point of view as to how it's possible/why a woman would have children with a gay guy.
