so from about 3 months on t i started waking up "happy" ( in my boxers) it started out as only once or twice a week now i'm six months on t and it's almost every single morning that i'm having to "take care" of myself sometimes 2 to 3 times a day i'm hoping it evens out soon, till then it looks like i'm, "wacking the weasel" 

And here I thought this thread was going to be about lack of dysphoria while wearing male jammies.

LOL...yes, you're a normal guy. Almost every man under 60 wakes up with "morning wood."

And young guys </= 30 often have to "do themselves" at least once a day.

You'll never look at other men the same now...Ha ha, I know what all of you do in the mornings...

I will nevar!!! I'm not going to do that ever  . I'm unsure if this is because of my asexyness or dysphoria overload. Please T. Do not betray me

Um, you don't have to sleep in anything, you know. Heck, I sleep nude. 

OP, you now understand why men are always so horny.

I do that now and I haven't had top surgery yet. My house and I'm going to be comfy. You should go ahead and do it. Cold sheets feel great on bare skin.

I don't get "wet dreams" that often or whatever you're referring to. I actually would get them occasionally Pre-HRT because I had people who were intimately interested me at the time. I don't have anyone like that now, and I think my subconscious mind knows better than to subconsciously get my hopes up. As far as thinking about being intimate with strangers or visuals of strangers, it usually does nothing for me. I do get turned on a lot, but it's usually pretty aimless and lately I feel pretty poorly about myself afterwards.

Ditto, good sir!

That's exactly how I feel. I don't understand why people wear clothes when they're alone in their own houses.

For being human?

I can count on one hand how many of those I've had in over 40 years of T exposure... most were in early adolescence. I think my ex (ciswoman) has had more than I have.

Not wanting to derail this from the joy of FTM wood, but I know that uninvited erections were a great source of dysphoria for me, one that I was open about with my partner, even before coming out to her totally. It really bothered me that she would interpret that physical response as an expression of desire for sex, when it was something I could not control, and I felt it got in the way a great deal with being intimate in a less aggressive and (or me) icky way. Tried many times to discuss it and find ways to keep it out of her assumptions, because it would often lead to her turning away from cuddling that I emotionally wanted and needed so much more than something interpreted as overtly sexual.

Maybe I need to start a separate thread for this, given that it's likely to go somewhere very different than this thread has been? PM me if anyone else wants to discuss this in any detail?

yeah another naked-sleeper.

for the topic, I dont get morning boners anymore, because I wake up during the evening/night and sleep the morning. generally I more get it during nights whem im about to sleep but somethimes that "night" would be considered early morning for someone.. so.. maybe?

maybe I should try to change my day pattern to something more normal XD

Elspeth, I am guessing that all the things that make an ftm happy (not using this word esp in the way that the OP did) would make an mtf unhappy and vice versa. It's the nature of being trans. I always think it is quite ironic, esp since I have an mtf girlfriend.

BTW, I like being in boxer briefs without anything else, but don't like nudity even by myself because of dysphoria. Not worry about anybody else seeing me or something. There is also the evil mirrors.

Wow I could never sleep naked!! Then again I only wear winter cloths all year around and unless in the bath I have socks one

I must say this topic reminds me why I was so glad to be rid of happy mornings

Agreed. So much so, apparently, that my attempt to open a complementary thread is being treated with resounding silence. No great surprise there, there are lots of things we don't like to dwell on.

C'est la vie. Perhaps someone will find it in time, and respond when the moment is right for them?

I'm not sure if this is a just a statement on morning wood or a question on when it evens out so....
My sex drive hasnt decreased but i've just gotten used to it like i used to jerk it like 2-3 times a day up until like 6 months and now i only have to do it a couple times a week.


and yeah sleeping in just boxers is great. i cant sleep with clothes on they're too constricting and hot, though i could never sleep nude, too much dysphoria.

It's kind of funny. Us guys will spend hours talking about various packers and prosthetics. A mtf friend of mine can't get the slightest straight answer on breast implants.

I guess it means via la difference.

I am SOOOOO happy this isn't something i have to deal with anymore, years of waking up with that annoyance are finally behind me. I had not even thought about it until like two weeks ago when one of my good friends made a joke about morning wood and then I said "huh...i think its been nearly 7 or 8 months since I had to deal with that..."  he looked at me like WTF?!...it was funny to me =)
