I am non op but calling it wood and whatever does help me out heh I guess that makes since.

Personally I consider anything that has erectile tissue (and can there for get hard) is wood

True heh

Quote from: zombiesarepeaceful on September 01, 2010, 03:16:16 PM... I've tried to piss while I'm hard and it does feel different although I'm pre op and obviously can't pee thru my dick yet.

I get that too. Also the stream direction becomes unpredictable.

As for morning wood, one theory is that it happens because T levels are naturally higher in the morning- for everyone. Of course this will affect people with higher T levels more often.

Maybe I'm an odd one out, but I don't think I've ever experienced this "morning wood". I don't really /have/ anything down there. I'm pre/non op and mine is just really small, sometimes I have a hard time finding it... Morning wood? I didn't even know that was possible... This is discouraging. =(

Same here. I don't know mine's size actually, never really gone spelunking around that area Might be a thing that some people get, some don't. If you had the same problem and you were bio male might be a problem (especially having a hard time finding it...ha), but since we were born female it might be less common? Or maybe we're freaks D:

I think if you got the normal girl equipment it's not as noticeable. If you're on T (or if you happen to have Clitoromegaly) then it can look (to varying degrees) like a smaller penis and act very much the same as far as erections go.

I can't tell if I've ever had the morning wood issue.  But I have some rather, err, interesting dreams at times.

HEY I'VE GOT AN AWKWARD TOPIC FOR Y'ALL.
pubic hair. (on either type of genital area) what are your policies? do you shave/wax/trim/let it grow or what?

Haha! This is a topic I actually like to ask people about. It makes everyone feel weird.  Um for myself I just trim it down neatly. Shaving is a nightmare when you're a klutz... and the stubble isn't fun. Not even gonna try waxing. :/ For a lover I really don't care as long as it doesn't develop into a forest down there.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, Koh. No matter how dirty the dream, I never seem to have "morning wood" because my equipment is just uh... too tiny for me to notice? Kinda like what insideontheoutside said.

here's kind of an awkward topic in regards to sex dreams:

as long as i've had sex dreams (since the age of 13 or so?), i've always had male anatomy in them, and this is even long before i knew what "trans" was.  to this day, i still have male equipment in every single sex dream i have.  does anyone else experience this?

I get morning wood.  Mine's big enough to act like a small penis.

I've always wondered what other people do with their pubic hair too.  I trim mine so it's pretty short.  On a lover, I don't care as long as it doesn't get in the way too much.

About morningwood: I've never felt myself as being "hard" in the morning. I tend to get more moisture than feelings of throbbing or anything if I'm turned on. Getting aroused rarely happens for me. I've also been told that what I have is large for a person not on T (inch and a half?).

About pubic hair: I don't shave, wax, etc. I absolutely hate when I am sexual with somebody and there's no hair. I personally think it's gross to get all hair removed down there but I'm not going to push somebody to not shave.

With my friends they always seem to have awkward questions that I personally don't feel awkward about answering. It's more awkward getting them to just ask what they want to ask lol.

I am not sure it I am allowed to participate as a genetic male, but take it from me, you don't miss a lot from morning wood.

It doesn't happen often to me, but when it does it is undenieable. It is quite painful when you roll over in your sleep on an erect penis. 
It also results in embarassing encounters with women when walking to the shower in the morning

*raises hand* Yup, always been male in my dirty dreams even before I knew what trans was. I did have a strange series of dreams last night though.. One was naughty and I was male, while the second was a nightmare where my parents found out about me being trans and threw me out. :/ I was female in that one.

Wow dude, thanks for sharing. xD Never imagined what it would feel like to roll over like that.

No problem 
The closest thing to that feeling is when you make a fist and extend your thumb. Place the tip of your thumb on a table and press untill it starts to hurt. Now imagine the thumb has no bones.

Interesting.  Sounds painful. 

And don't worry - genetic males are welcome here.   

I find public toilets awkward.

First there's a whole world of weird things that can occur in a public toilet. Then there's how people are perceiving you when you go into one. I can be read as male or female in a number of ways. I ducked into a women's toilet once and I didn't think anyone was in there and this old lady was and she said, "you shouldn't be in here". I've gotten weird looks going into the men's toilet as well. People having conversations while in the toilet seems really awkward to me. People making noises while they're in the toilet seems awkward. They're just awkward all around unless you get lucky and no one's in there!

I hate public toilets.  Actually, one thing I liked about living in San Francisco was that most of the public bathrooms in businesses are single-occupancy, often unisex.  That makes so much sense.  Why can't all public restrooms be single-occupancy and unisex?

The main observation I have of men's public toilets is there is A LOT more farting. I let em rip all the time now. Good fun!

Also has anyone seen that Beavis and Butt-head episode when they do a school assignment on the mystery of Morning Wood?  It's pretty funny.
