Quote from: peggygee on January 12, 2011, 08:27:20 PMI will admit though that when I was pre op, that the act of masturbating was angst producing, due to my gender dysphoria.
Quote from: girl_ashley on January 13, 2011, 12:00:07 PMAs already mentioned, masturbating is a very good way to ensure you will be orgasmic after vaginoplasty. If you don't keep those nerves exercised, they will "forget" their function and you may find yourself unable to orgasm at some point.
Quote from: TraciMC on January 13, 2011, 07:14:58 PMThe only time this was the case for me was when I went to the sperm bank immediately before taking my first dose of HRT to save some, er, stuff. The clinic had stalls with porn (Hustler mags) and no where to lie down, and no pillows. It was wrong wrong wrong; I never once masturbated with my hands in my life. Eww. Never that way. I had big time dysphoria trying to get myself to produce stuff for them to save.
Quote from: Vexing on January 13, 2011, 07:34:53 PMThat doesn't sound medically accurate. Nerves will only atrophy if they don't have sufficient blood supply; they are unable to 'forget' their function, as they are little more than conductors (like a piece of copper wire).
Quote from: Janet Lynn on January 12, 2011, 11:41:09 PMI doubt very seriously that it is dangerous. In fact if you have been in HRT for quite a while you will get shrinkage. You may wish to "use it or lose it". Remember it may become your neo-vagina. And you don't want to "come up short". @ Alyssa. OMFG.
Quote from: Helena on January 14, 2011, 12:48:24 PMMasturbation can kill...especially if you insist on doing it in your car at 70mph and it goes off explosively, getting in your eyes and causing you to swerve across 3 lanes of traffic.
Quote from: Nobuko on January 18, 2011, 03:02:55 AMI also heard something regarding masturbation by people on HRT helps increase the likelihood of being fertile if HRT is halted. I can't afford sperm banking.
Quote from: sweetie87 on January 18, 2011, 11:08:17 AMI seriously doubt that as masturbation (pre-op or post-op) should've no or little influence on hormone levels. It is said that fertility will usually be lost within a year of HRT. For those having HRT from the beginning of puberty there will be no fertility at all.
Quote from: sweetie87 on January 18, 2011, 12:32:08 PMYou mentioned not being able to afford sperm banking, but if you really do want to have children then it's better to bank sperm instead of guessing on the 'use it or lose it-theory'.
Quote from: Nobuko on January 18, 2011, 11:23:40 AMThe reasoning behind it didn't have anything to do with hormone levels.. It involved something like the "Use it or lose it argument", with the reason function being lost permanently being due to gradual atrophy from lack of use.
