Hi Joanna.
Like Shantel said, estrogen isn't really known for its libido properties. But the brain is the biggest sex organ, and women often feel horny due to outside factors, such as feeling good about themselves and their bodies. Estrogen is making you feel better, so it's probably indirectly responsible for turning you into a sex-crazed b_

I completely agree!  Hence the ability to completely shut it off when you desire.  Its like a giant switch in my brain I can mess around with xD.

Or until my GF flicks the switch and well she has control of that when she wants to 

I guess I have always had a strong sex drive. Hormones didn't change much on that. Thoughts and touch changed, bite my shoulder and I will completely bend to their sexual will, I became more a enjoyer of mild pain. I would guess it's not so much the meds as much as my coming around to various sexual stimulus.

this might be my lack of knowledge in this area. But if you mean by, hugging/kissing/ cuddling/ other forms of body contact?  yeah im usually down for that.  But the actual lack of 'sex' is what drives them away.  I keep it to myself that I dont want to be doing it, But ive even done it for them just because I love them and wanted to satisfy them.  maybe they can sense that im doing if for them and not because I want to?

I think you are going to need to be straight up with people if you want to find someone compatible. For me, being desired is kind of necessary to connect to someone. If you didn't want to screw me, regardless of whether you were willing to screw me, I wouldn't be able to believe that you cared about me. I'm just not built that way. Words don't do it. My emotions are wired into my physicality. And there are quite a lot of people who are like that, especially girls apparently.

I don't think it's shallow. It's just different. Sex is a really intimate experience for me. I can't do that with someone who doesn't want me. That would be... well kind of gross.


And I guess that kind of answers Joanna too. My sex drive is pretty intense. I kind of hate not having anyone at the moment. But at the same time I'm not sure I'm really comfortable enough with my body yet that it's a good idea. Very torn.

Hi Ladies,
      First of all, good luck Joanna, your FFS will go fine. You're already a pretty girl, though, and I didn't see the need. As for me, I've been full time for 13 months yesterday and on HRT for 15 months. In the beginning of my taking hormones I would have little orgasms several times a day the day of and the day after my progynon shot, then they slowly disappeared. My sexual appetite was always bisexual, but I enjoyed men more than women, who I enjoyed too, but I was always trying to prove myself masculine with women, and felt like a lesbian no matter how many I made love with. I was always with men as a woman and it was far more emotionally and physically satisfying to me. I've been attracted to men exclusively for about fifteen years, but he had to be really special for me to really lust after him and nothing ever happened. Now, in the last several months my state of arousal is nearly constant and I am constantly in lust looking at gorgeous men. I'm 58 years old and feel I look very good for my age, but I am, after all, 58. I'm in a sexual relationship with a 31 year old surfer and I think about him night and day. I don't get to see him nearly enough for me and would wear him out if I had the chance. I love being a woman, being held and cuddling, but I'm soooo horny I feel like I'm fifteen. One of the girls here said our libidos might be raised because we're happy, and that's certainly my case. I've lost 62 lbs. since July 12th, 2011, and I've lost the weight because I'm happy. I've only got fifteen more to lose and I've gone down from a 16 to an 8-10 depending on the maker. That's increased my lust exponentially too, because I have one attribute men love and look at all the time now, my legs. Anyway, please include me in the club. I have one question. I've only posted a few times, but I wanted to post on the 'before and after photos and couldn't figure out how to do it. Could someone tell me how? Hugs, Miranda

What does suck big time tho for me,  is   90% of my relationships end cause of this.  I can meet the social and emotional needs of my partners. But I cant keep them happy in the physically intimate department.  I cant wrap my head around how big an impact that has in relationships.

I have the exact problem.
