Yes.... Pre transition, ie, up to 19, i had no interest in sex... I had some arrousal and self experimentation, but no care for men or women. Went on some dates as a second, generally ended up friends with the girl. Hrt made me blosom in terms of my sexuality... I found i was noticing men.... the way they dressed, thier hair, thier stubble, thier muscle... *shivers* I started to get that goey feeling in my tummy when i thought about certain ones. This all happened within a few months of going on hrt... as if my brain was finally on the right fuel... Its great, I feel utterly normal in that respect now. All the m2fs that say 'oh going on hrt killed my labido' or 'turned me a sexual' is curious to me... as it was so different.

Exactly my experience, we agree at last!

My sexuality really blossomed, have to admit it put me well out of control for a while... a very long while!

As much as i loathe to sount ->-bleeped-<-tastic... but thats how all teenage girls get XD

Hehe!

To this day I just love it, you described the feeling really well. It's just like that but for me, mainly, but not always, with girls.

Just wanted to share my results with anyone who is interested.





Started at 3 months after my 28th birthday, this was taken 3 months after starting HRT.

My skin has improved and my hairloss has slowed considerably if not stopped,  though I wouldn't say the loss I've experienced has reversedl.  I haven't noticed any other facial changes as a result yet though I'm of course staying positive.

I disagree.. your face looks rather differnt gorgeous!

Thank you Rachael, very kind of you to say.

Au contraire, ma soeur! My experience has been comparable to yours:

When I came out to myself, my libido rapidly dropped away to nothing and I became effectively asexual. In fact, I'd noticed it declining right before I came out to myself, so I think the two developments are connected. I remained de facto asexual until I got a good dosage of E in me.

Like magic, E gave me a new libido. But it was incomparably better than the old one.

My interpretation is: The old male model of sexuality had to die away, in order for the female one to grow. Now in my sexuality I am soooo glad I am a woman. I feel like I'm finally feeling my body and its pleasures for the first time. The two sexualities are utterly different in nature, and the female one is immensely superior. I couldn't be happier with the effect of E (and disappearance of T) on my sensuality and sexuality.

The metaphor that comes to mind is from Catholic eschatology, when the dead are resurrected their old corruptible bodies are replaced with "glorious" bodies. Yes, "glorious resurrected body" is exactly how it feels to me.

I must admit the female sexuality is very religious....

I talk to god a lot more now thanks to it...

I know this is what I need to do but I am concerned because I have always been an attractive male ...

I felt this way too. One thing I struggled with was that I always fancied myself a nice-looking guy, from what I'd heard. Was I really ready to possibly go from a good-looking guy to a guy-looking girl?

Only you can answer it...  but it's something I forced myself to address before I started hormones. In the end, if I was willing to give it all up for transition, what's a little physical attractiveness?

You gotta be kidding?  I started four months ago, age 61.  The HRT is really working already.  My therapist says I pass pretty well now, and will pass 100% in a couple of months.  I NEVER thought I could do it - and I am 6'2".  But I did lose 32 pounds, and that really helps

They do say that good looking guys tend to have more feminine facial features.  Just think johnny depp or jude law, etc.

Not in the least. She definitely came out ahead.

You look really beautiful, amazing eyes.

I stumbled upon this thread and thought it useful to mention that I started therapy 7 days ago.  If other writers have had wonderful results, I await the outcome of my own changes with interest.  As I look at my avatar, it reminds me of what I looked like when I took that photo 3 years ago when I began my transition.  I look at it and see a man with a wig on and seemingly many people in my neighbourhood see the same as I do.

There is one matter I must address though and that is of Charing Cross clinic in London.

What I have read of the place within this thread bears absolutely no resemblance to that Charing Cross clinic I attend currently.   Could it be the same place?  I had problems getting referred to the clinic and once there, further problems getting approvals to begin hormones but this is simply because I had specific medical issues to be dealt with in order that my pathway was to be of the utmost benefit.   That said, the personnel there have been wonderful to me, telling me to be patient and to carry on as best I could.  Now I am finally recieving the hormone therapy I had so wished for and for the life of me, I cannot get style councelling for love nor money out of them.  Maybe I dont need it being well into life as a woman and managing quite well without it.

As far as i know its changed management recently... As you said, you're a new paitent there... it used to be BAD... looks like im the one at the last bad one now

Thank God for that. About time. The old guard were a really unpleasant lot.

I wouldnt know....

Ive been waiting to see a GIC for 3 years.

I have been watching this one and decided answer.  I am 54, 55 in a couple of weeks, and have been on HRT for 10 months now.  I have achieved a 38B, but am still experiencing some tenderness.  If as in the past, that means that there should be more growth shortly.

I have noticed changes in my body shape. Thank the gods, and my face is still feminizing.  I will be very interested to see what changes have occured of the tears.
