Title: Testosterone and "down there"
Post by: kaidenhendricks89 on August 12, 2015, 08:47:02 AM
Hey so I am two weeks on testosterone today and I've already noticed a few things like I've gotten a few chest hairs ... OK I have three but I'm proud of them lol ... and the blond hairs on my chest are getting darker. My throat has been sore off and on and my voice has been "cracking" at times. I know this is all normal but the one question I have is about down stairs growth (sorry if this is TMI) did any of you, or are any of you experiencing discomfort,  almost feels like your crotch is irritated?  I'm assuming this is because I'm starting to grow but just kind want to know if anyone else felt this.

Yes,  kaidenhendricks89,  starting to feel something going on your crotch at two weeks is normal.  This will continue for a few months, some guys like wearing boxers as there is less rubbing or irritating the area.  It is also something you will always have down there so start getting use to having it sticking out a bit so to say.

In my first week, I felt a lot of discomfort down there until things "settled" Just get used to it and know it's completely normal. You just started the best journey of your life man!!!

Ok good to know!  Thanks guys!  Yeah mm I've always worn boxer briefs and they hold my packer without a harness but I think I might have to stop that all together ... for now at least

Does your packer rub some on it.  You may have to forgo your packer until you get use to the new size and feeling.

I'm with the others. As you grow, and it could be very little to a fair amount, previously unexposed areas are now rubbing. Part of that too is the libido increases as your body's T level rises, causing some swelling and making the swelling increased. You will have to get used to it just as an xy male has to deal with penile growth at puberty and increased libido.

A packer would certainly cause rubbing, so its your choice as to whether to continue wearing one or giving it a rest for a bit. The feelings you are having are normal, so don't worry too much about it.
