I will be happy to start T next month. One thing I have a problem with now is that I have sex on the brain but no libido. I think the lack of libidio is due to my dysphoria. Did anyone else (FtM) have a problem pre T with getting aroused due to your body image? I'm hoping the T will create desire for me.

My relationship on that front is mostly I dislike my parts....buuut I use them because its what I have, mild acceptance of a uncircumventable problem, really. I just happen to really like the physical feeling I get. I long for being able to feel through male anatomy...but...its in no way possible. Some of the best experiences Ive had is likening my anatomy to male ones, and experiencing pleasure there.

That said...I had a high libido before as is, so I was slightly dreading in a humerous way the spark of libido Id get, revved up much more. And truth be told I really did end up with way more drive. It has leveled out a bit though, I think.

T even in cis men tends to spark that quite a bit, hopefully the dysphoria doesnt make it too weird.

For me it comes in disliking the sight of the lower area, and refusing to let anyone see it...but feeling is okay simply because of the feeling. With chest dysphoria I do not allow feeling the breast tissue, but nipple sensation is something any guys can have


Ive tried to keep it vague so as not to be too tmi, just sharing what helps on my part. Ive found ways to cope with my body discomfort and feel good when the desire strikes, hope the same can be said for others.


congrats on T btw, hope you pass any oddness youre not anticipating

Although my bottom dysphoria is on my mind more than it was in the past, I did experience a lessening of dysphoria and a willingless to be more flexible with what I did with those parts once on T.

Also, T is not just an increase in drive. It will change how your sexuality functions, how you masturbate, how you get off. Just be ready for that. I found it annoying to have to relearn but I think I'm okay now. If you were polymorphously perverse prior to T you probably won't be afterwards is what I'm saying. Being able to plausibly envision my genitals as normal male genitals is the best path to completion to me but that isn't easy for me to do.

I used to have zero libido because I had zero interest in my body. So I think I can relate.
And yeah, it does change. At least for me I can see my body changing, and I just feel more masculine overall (no longer the weird sense of contradiction), which makes me feel more okay with having any libido.

I had a low sex drive before, and I have a low sex drive after. It dropped off even lower after I started having bottom dysphoria post-top surgery.
