I wasn't going to post about this because it's a private matter but I'm wondering if this is normal. I am right at a week on T. Three things have happened thus far. I have hair getting thicker everywhere, my "cocktail smokey" has gotten longer/wider, and I am horny all of the time.

I mean I am 9 days post a open hysto. Two days ago I couldn't take it anymore and when my gf went to the store I took care of business (she has cut me off until I am fully healed from surgery). Twice today as well and I'm still horny, lol.

It is funny but it's getting kinda tender down there as I stay hard. Is this normal? Or is this something I should call the doc about? (I'd rather not)

You jherk! Don't you even know how to spell pikkel?

For a while there, I was jerking off half a dozen times a day when I could manage it. And more. If I didn't do it at least two or three times a day, I was a mess. So I scheduled time in the morning before work--a morning session was absolutely essential.

Sometimes I started getting sore, but that didn't stop me.

People told me that things would subside in six months or so, but it took a lot longer for me. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones...

Thanks Arch, Now I don't feel too much like a horn dog. I'm a week in and it's like this already...so I hope I am ones of the lucky ones and the urge goes back into a more normal one sooner than later.

Typical teen male behavior...whacking off at least twice a day...

Hahah, my husband cut me off about a week in too, because HE was sore from all the activity. Then, about a month in, I offered for the 2nd time that day and he looked me dead in the eye and said "Good God, you're worse than ME." Which kinda hurt coming from a guy who's slept with every chick in our friend circle. Sniffle. I quit asking after that.

As far as your comment about it going back to more normal sooner rather than later, it doesn't really 'go back to normal' so much as you just get used to it. You adapt, more or less. (At least that's what I hear.) My drive is still stuck in 5th, but I've figured out how to ignore it to an extent. I'm still jerkin the gherkin as often as time allows, usually 2x a night, but I don't have to schedule it in anymore hahaha! And if I'm just too tired, I don't have to 'do it or not sleep' anymore, I can snooze a bit, THEN get up and do it anyway

Being on T has really made me understand why teenage cisguys are so crazy all the time.

Gerkin Jerkin looked better than Gherkin Jerkin...but right now it all sounds nice, brb. lol 

Well, as an MTF, I don't know if I'm welcome to input, but as a biological male, I must say that, yes, you do get horny with testosterone. I don't like jerking; I tried it once, and I felt tired and dizzy afterwards. Ew  . However, I sleep with a body pillow, and I would be lying if I said that it hasn't been humped a few times. 

In short, your libido is normal. Nothing to fret about.

+1 for pillow-humping.  It's probably more common than some might believe.
one can be quite creative in the quest to get off, but be cautious with what kinds of "lube" you use...don't use "icy hot" muscle cream, and don't use any mint toothpaste.

Hahahaha... I've just realised why the topic title was confusing me so much - I read it as "taking T has caused my gherkin to wear a jerkin" and was waiting for the overcoat/foreskin reference .

You're not talking from experience, are you?  (Just use soap...  )

Ah, the stories I could tell...yes, I've tried many different things for lubes a d to simulate a vagina...ironically never *actual* lube nor any commercial "pocket pussy."

IMHO lotion, two hands, and a nearby heat lamp is best.

It's normal. I have the same problem.

Try different ways of getting off? By that I mean, try more indirect methods like...I dunno, rubbing up against something?

Gah. You know what I mean (hopefully). I'm trying to keep it PG-13.

You're officially the Macgyver of getting off, lol.

its normal to be super horny. also from jerking it a bunch you will get sore, its happened to me.

And be sure to switch hands once in awhile, lest you experience "the fiddler crab effect." (This has never happened to me, but I did see one or two guys in the .mil who were teased about it.)

Cocktail smokey?     Awesome

Any rate, you I was getting off 5 times a day at least for awhile there.  I've gotten tendonitis in both my wrists from purely jerking off.  So I had to get cortisone shots and wear a brace each time.  It still didn't stop me.  That was using the hitachi magic wand however.  So my wrists were in weird position to accommodate that.   I also got sore down there but a good sore, sort of warm and tingling. 

Now I use a small vibe and it works better for my wrists.

So that was my TMI of 2012.
