How soon after starting your transition and hormones did you become intimate with a man or woman?  Did you feel any different, special, pampered?

Well, I was married, so that changes things. I don't honestly remember how long post-HRT before we had sex, if that's what you mean; I do recall that my wife treated me as a woman in bed from the beginning (even pre-HRT, really) and the whole experience was SO different than it had been before.

How did she treat you differently?

It was about 11 months after starting HRT. I found I was more emotionally charged and prone to stop things if something wrong was said. Before, if I wanted sex it didn't matter what the guy did to screw it up (short of something major). Now, if I feel ugly or unwanted in any way - I'm completely turned off.

Alaina : That was a lot of it; she acted like there was more to it than getting to the destination. In the past, I was a lot more... focused on a single goal. She switched to kissing and cuddling and more attention to my breasts and almost none to elsewhere (plus she stopped handling "it," and started touching me where the new bits would someday be, if that makes sense). Mostly, though, it was in her attitude. She's bisexual, and her attraction to women is stronger and also different, and I can't really pin down how the energy changed, but she approached me the way I've seen her with other women.

I hear you about having to be in the mood now, too! I never understood why women said that, until I'd lived it.

I'll let you know when it happens. Five months and counting!

I been with my boyfriend almost a year when I started hormones 18.5 months ago and I am still with him.  He has always made me feel special and pampered and that hasn't changed much.  Intimacy feels much better to me now and a lot of the intimacy directed towards me involves my breasts, which is different than before.  Other than that not that much has changed but I expect it will in a few months after my GRS...

I had difficulties before HRT.  It wasn't impossible before, but it got increasingly harder (softer?) to finish the job with age.   After HRT, I'm not interested in penetration at all.  Not even the Swedish bikini team could make me want to do that.

That being said,  I would very much like to be penetrated, but that's some time away.   I do, however, like to give pleasure every way I can and just having warm snuggly kissing time is perfect.  I get a different kind of turned on now that's almost all mental and found a Hitachi Magic Wand can send me into orbit.  For me, an orgasm on HRT can be 20 times better and longer than before, although I really have to work for it now and focus mentally.

Welcome to the female orgasm! It is a wonderful thing that I am thankful for several times a week.

It was about 2 years into HRT, when I was first intimate with a man. I was not looking for it

He was fine with me being trans, I met him as favor to friend, shame he needed a date, so I volunteered.. We hit it off and we started dating.

He pampered me a lot, and always made me feel special. He bought me some sexy pjs, which of course I modeled for him.. It was weird to get flowers the first time, but nice.. I loved being the woman in the relationship.. I was a lesbian before meeting him, so making out with him the first time was a little weird, but i soon loved it.. The weird part.. being kissed and having him run his hands on my body.. but in the end i loved him touching me.  This lead to sex eventually.. I loved being held by him, when i slept over. Taking a bubble bath with him, was wonderful..
