I guess I mean, how long before anything feels different? And assuming that one has not had SRS.
its pretty much the same as before i had an orchi tho so my semen is completely clear and watery

I feel embarrassed but this is one of the things I am most looking forward to. Especially after SRS.
Mindblowingly better for me! My whole body feels it now.

I can second that.. Women enjoy sex with there whole body. I noticed this before SRS already. Once the estrogen starts to take hold, you experience more than just physical changes.
To be honest I admittedly feel that my climax' intensity is kinda being on the decline. It may have something to do with the fact that my weenie feels extremely sensitive since I've started HRT, its skin has become way thinner and its surface more vulnerable, apart from pain coming from inside once 'fully grown'.
It has gone even that far that I can't even have unrestrained intercourse with my better half since there'd be a lot of (literally) friction going on which I can't take at all being at this stage. It would mean more pain than pleasure for me.
To put it in a nutshell, I can't really say that anything in regards to that has improved - the contrary is the case.
For me it is more intense and a little longer. My breasts became a major erogenous zone too. The way I got to climax also changed. I hope this isn't like inappropriate to say, but after 2 years on hrt an erection is not necessary for me to climax. The usual way someone deals with boy parts to get a climax doesn't work for me anymore. Rubbing instead of stroking is what does it now. It's actually better to untuck just a little and do it through your panties. You don't have to actually touch "it" which is better for people with dysphoria or if like me have a boyfriend that isn't into your boy parts and wants minimal interaction with "it".
Julia
Not inappropriate at all.
I find it quite comforting in a way that we can talk about these things freely here.
Is it wrong to say that I am REALLY looking forward to this?
Hi Lily,
I've been on low dose E for about a year. My breasts have grown a bit and are definitely an erogenous zone along with my perineum. The perineum has soften and I can easily push 2 or 3 inches deep. I really don't pay as much attention to the penis. It's more flaccid then it use to be. When I climax now my whole body quivers and for much longer.

I'm jealous!
I have been on spiro and estradiol long enough now that not much of anything is produced and my libido is so reduced that I rarely do it now. Before I started HRT I would ummm play several err sorry many times a day. I don't miss it at all and now it has become somewhat painful. Someday I want to see two of the three, if not all three gone. They sure as heck aren't doing me any good now.

Gad I want experience more than I do now. The typical male short and intense just doesn't do it for me.
I wasn't afraid to admit HRT making orgasms better was a huge thing for me. My ability to be erect without the help of Viagra was a problem after about 6 weeks and it took another 4 months and adding progesterone before I began to really want sex again.
Once it changed, however, it has been night and day better, really no comparison. As others have said, new erogenous zones have made things better. Remembering back, the biggest shift was that riding the wave of multiple orgasms just became easy, where before HRT it was something nice could do but only with exact concentration to not let myself ejaculate on the one hand or get too disarroused to continue.
Orgasm was what really convinced me both that hrt was real and to proceed to GCS.
Do you think I am just jealous or am I feeling slightly dysphoric right now? :P
(I'm ok, really)
Oh I came a long way with my orgasms (no pun intended) before HRT. Far enough that with the addition energy that came with HRT I was really worried about GCS taking away some of what I'd gained. I've been writing here on Susan's for a month now about my sometimes frustrating quest to be post-op orgasmic.
I could do with finding a way to pleasure myself without feeling disgusting and dysphoric after.
Still under a month in, feels about the same, but takes more concentration to maintain erection, and there's no desire to do it until I start, try to do it with around the same frequency as I used to in an attempt to keep the tissue healthy so it'll be in good shape for donor tissue, and in the meantime if I do become intimate with someone, it hopefully won't hurt, but like they say, the desire is all but gone without being directly triggered by something.
Odd question ... I think it's mostly in your head, has to do with who you are interacting with, how you feel about them and how we feel about ourselves.
Some people will become more sexual through transition, others will lose interest altogether. It really depends on the full story of who you are.

Couldn't agree more
I've been on estradiol for 6 months now (2 months low-dose and ramped up to a normal dosage after that). I'm also on spironolactone. I started noticing changes within about a month of starting on the estradiol. Of course, the changes mostly start in the brain, and the body just goes along with it, I believe. For me, the desire for sex plummetted. Nothing "started" on its own, and had to be initiated manually. Yes, a climax does feel different now. It used to be much more pinpointed at the erogenous nerve endings on the top of the head of the penis. Those seem to have dulled, for whatever reason. Perhaps this makes me more aware of the physical feeling throughout the rest of the body, what some women describe as a more "female" orgasm. I think I understand now why sex is so much less an imperative for women. Your (my) brain simply doesn't think about it as much.

That is something else I noticed. My sex drive completely crashed. I don't really get horny anymore. When I'm with my boyfriend sex isn't the main thing on my mind. It takes kissing and foreplay to get me in the mood for sex. Before hrt sex was the main reason I hooked up with guys. Now I can be just as happy watching a movie with my boyfriend as having sex with him. Actually it's usually him who initiates sex. It's interesting how testosterone pretty much makes a person a slave to sexual desires. Well, actually it's like sad.
Julia
Yeah. It can be sad.
I'd be a happier person if I had a lower sex drive.
These days I can ignore sex more than I could on T, but my sex drive is just as high if not higher than it's been in the last decade. How to explain? Being horny, on T, was like an independent thing. I could be happily doing something else and it would just "invade my space." Now it's a gentle knocking. A quiet voice asking, "now?" and if I agree it sweeps me up like a tidal wave. Distractions can kill the mood like that, though. I have to stay focused on it or it's gone.

April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!
Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.
They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!
Think outside the voice box!
Hmm I might need to think more deeply about my relationship with sex. It might be more complicated than I realise.
I've noticed it's more of a whole body feeling now. I shudder sometimes feeling my body shake and what sounds like I'm moaning as I am reaching orgasm. I don't even need to be hard. This is one thing that is keeping me on track of continuing hrt. I really like the feeling of a female type orgasm than the male version.

A prolonged, full body electrical experience that makes your toes curl in kind of feeling ;)
It didn't feel any different for me. I had to find the right "combination" of t blocker and hormones that enabled me to still get an erection and be able to have the benefits of hormones which took about 6 months.
After getting breast augmentation though now I cannot orgasm if my nipples aren't stimulated. That wasn't the case before I got them done- but I like it.

Transitioning seems to be all about revealing the real person within, including how libidinous they truly are.
Many accounts talk about the sexual drive shriveling up and dying. If it's important it seems like a good idea to keep practicing occasionally, as a lot of it seems to be mental, as you say. Or perhaps these people truly aren't horny and the hormones are just driving them on. But according to many much of the sexual response is really in the head.
After a month on HRT, I started feeling it through my whole body. Even before climax, I felt these wonderful waves of pleasure just run all through me.

I totally understand this. I felt this way for.... well, 20 years or more. After deciding to transition, it often felt worse than before, but HRT seems to have cured that.
My sex drive is way down now. Instead of it being something I feel like I have to do regularly, it's kind of a 'Oh, yeah, sure I could do that' thing.
