Title: Is it normal to A-Sexual during this time. I consider my slef Demisexual
Post by: Corrina on March 23, 2018, 10:04:14 PM
  I do have some attraction towards others but sex especially right now doesn't interest me. Before and still I have to get to know the person and have a mental, emotional or psychological connection with them. Even after I know I will be picky. I am MTF wanting a relationship after the total transition is finished but I know that part of me will still want that real connection. I just won't sleep with a man to see how it is. That's the way I feel now. Of course I want to be attractive but not a tramp. Does anyone else think about these things? Marriage and being a wife and already know the answer to this being a real woman. I don't mean we are fake now I just mean happy and not afraid to show your sexuality and someone pointing and saying, your a man. I know I'm sounding crazy but I have these thoughts because I want this to happen and happen right.

I don't think it's an issue at all - just as you should define your transition goals, details and schedule based on your needs.  And you don't have to decide everything all at once. 

Quality work takes time.   ;)

I was very single for awhile as I was sorting things out, and started exploring again after I stopped completely hating what I saw in the mirror. 

In a way I don't expect my transition to ever be 100% finished, much as life can be more interesting if we don't stop learning the day we graduate from school.
