Hi! I have been on Spiro and Estradiol for somewhere between 5 and 6 months and I have finally reached my full dosage. One thing that I noticed is that random erections were gone completely on the 3rd of 4th month, I guess once my testosterone levels were low enough. At this point my labido had dropped alot and I had a lack of interest in sexual type things.  Now about 2 1/2 months later and on 3 times the estrogen I was on at 3 or 4 months, I feel my sex drive increasing to the point where I am pretty sure I get aroused more than pre-HRT. I cannot get full erections ever, but I do get turned on a lot now, most of the time for no reason. Not having an erection makes this an okay situation, and I don't mind the sex drive increase personally.

Has anybody else had this or a similar experience with HRT?

-Seq

Yes but never out of my control... NEVER spontaneous... Seven months in here and on a high dose of IM injected EV and a big dose of spiro... My T was 3.8 ng/dl last time... E makes me horny as hell sometimes   No complaints here, functional equipment even if its not right is better in my eyes than nothing at all

My sex drive absolutely cratered for the first few months on E, but now(7 months or so) after time and being on a full dose, it's come back slightly. Still pretty low though. Hard to gauge though exactly where it is because while my sex drive in regards to self love may be pretty low, it might be a different circumstance if I had a girlfriend to actually do things with.

It hasn't been my experience but only because I've also been on an anti depressant that smashed my libido like a baseball bat might smash an egg...something I was very happy about I must say.

 Thanks for the replies!

Yeah, for me it's spontaneous sometimes, but I still don't get an erection. The non-erection isn't an issue to me thought personally. I don't think I have nothing at all as far as equipment goes, but it definitely works slightly differently than before.

Yeah, I feel like my sex drive did not exist at all when I started hormones. I think that was a big factor in my last relationship ending... The problem now is I feel great and am happy that my sex drive has increased substantially, however as you had said... A partner might be helpful in exploring this...

Sounds violent! But glad you are happy. I'm not bothered by a high sex drive, as  long as I don't have to deal with erections

It takes a while to get warmed up but I do get a decent erection, just a drop comes out at the end The feeling however is incredible It was easier for me on a lower dose of spiro but I hate T so much I just keep it at my prescribed dose even though I doubt I need it much anymore

Mostly just the urge to get off will come for me, sometimes out of nowhere and sometimes in reaction to a man... I kinda just put it on the back burner though and I maintain a pleasantly aroused state Its a whole body feeling for me
