Arch you just reminded me of an incident with my eyelashes. I pulled one out and pointed out to my mum how long it was. She said "Well you should put some mascara on them."

That doesn't even make sense.

She just increased MY dysphoria there for a minute.

Did I come across as worried? Only about the mascara, I hope. Now, that's scary stuff.

Another annoying thing about it was that I was driving at the time and she knows how badly I get road rage. So why did she think that would be a good thing to say to me. Sorry I'm getting angry about it now 

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but I've noticed my eyebrows are I don't know thicker or coarser... Something I didn't really think about until I actually looked!!

And I don't know if it's T related or whatever but my god my nipples get itchy sometimes!!!!

That's possibly TMI...

Lol! Great thread by the way!!

Unrelated but dude, you have huge shoulders.

Something I thought of, that is rarely mentioned, is the change in your center of gravity.  I find I can squat in positions now that would have had me falling on my butt before.   

Also, regarding 'roid rage, I have a theory that 'roid rage is actually a result of T aromatizing into E.  I have no proof of that, and I may be completely full of --it, but that's my theory.    In any case, 'roid rage generally only occurs if your T levels are way too high.  Remember, athletes who are juicing generally inject as much as 12 times the amount we use.

You'll probably get... forty lashes...



OH NOOO!

Oh GOD!  *rolls on floor laughing*

Oh, dear.

I had no idea the amount of you all who had digestive issues that went away with T. I've had digestion problems for years. My diet is generally healthy, i try to be balanced. I tend to eat more pastas than I should, but I get a good amount of vegetables and proteins and I have been drinking more water lately but I still get constipation fairly often and sometimes diarrhea when i get close to having my period.

I really hate what that surge of E does to my digestion. I know it has to be that and it sucks a lot. I'm hoping that if i ever go on T it will balance out my digestive issues.

One thing I don't look forward to is the dryness some of you mention. I'm always VERY wet when aroused, so maybe T won't change that too much.

The biggest thing I'm afraid of is being unable to or having a lot of difficulty crying or feeling empathetic. I've always had very passionate emotions and while it's sometimes a burden, I would really hate to lose it and I'm not sure how I'd cope with that.

I used to have digestive issues that were hormonally influenced. I don't anymore, but I do tend to expel more upward moving gas.

It's going to be TMI, but my... errr... "lubrication" seems to have taken on a male pattern. As in dry dry dry dry, job is done, big sticky mess to clean up. Not dry as in uncomfortable during non-arousal times, just as in no lubrication related reaction during arousal times.

Well, I suppose at least my bedside table contents are consistent with my cismale bachelor counterparts 

Not so gross - I seem to drive slower. It's been a while since I've wanted to race - I'm quite happy to chill out and crank up the tunes instead.

While looking at cars to buy, I find myself thinking (and factoring in) "Will I be likely to get laid driving that?" (even though I have no intent on picking up, it's just an errant thought)  .

I wasn't expecting the full extent of the psychological changes. Nothing I have read prepared me for just how many things would change.

It's not that it's "wrong" or "not me" - things have changed in ways that feel incredibly right. It's just that there's been a lot of tiny little subtle changes.

To maintain the same levels of diplomacy and tact I had before, I have to consciously think about what I'm saying (or typing) .

I went through that for several months.  (I believe I said a few undiplomatic things here around that time.  My apologies.) But, fortunately, I regained my old diplomatic tendencies after a while.

Speaking of eyebrows...

NOSE HAIR, OMFG.

My eyebrows grow into bushes after a certain amount of time, so I pluck the unibrow area once every two weeks or so, and every two days I shave my chin/sideburns, and sure enough, every time I have to get close to a mirror to do either of these things, I find a hair poking out of my nose. And I figure, hey, it's probably coming from the septum area... WRONG! It's a blasted hair like half an inch long coming from deep in my nose. I pull out like three of these every time. Maybe I should invest in a nose trimmer, jesus.

Wish my chest/stomach would take a hint from my nose/pubes. (Wtf.)

I'm glad to see that you haven't misplaced your priorities.

I had trouble lubricating for years. Back in the eighties, I actually mentioned it to my then-new GYN, who was a complete idiot in a number of ways (needless to say, I got a new one, but she was even worse--I've had terrible luck in that respect). Anyway, I hesitantly told him about my problem. He was about to start poking around down there, but first he stuck a finger into me, pulled it out, and told me I was lubricating just fine. It was one of the most mortifying moments of my life.

I have never been sure about why I was so dry. It could have been hormonal, or it could have been that I was unconsciously dreading sex.

Now I lubricate just fine. T fixed that problem. I do have quite a mess to clean up afterward, but I don't mind.

Oh geez, I'm totally going to get that.  My dad has mad nose hair.  My eyebrows are bushy as already.
