Hey all, been lurking here for a while now, finally made an account though because I have a question I think is a little too silly to ask my therapist or my other trans friends...

Anyways... I'm about to start T. Next week actually! All my blood work came back ok and they're just gonna figure out my dose and get me my first dose next week!

But one thing i was wondering about starting T...

Does it affect bodily sensitivity?

More specifically, could I become less ticklish?

I know that might sound strange to ask... But I'm wicked ticklish. My bf tickles me all the time, as do friends and family... And when they do, it's like I can't control myself. My voice jumps up, I start freaking out... It makes me feel each time like my masculine image is being stolen... I hate that I have such a fem Response but can't control it!!

So basically... I'm really Hoping that maybe a few of you will be able to tell me that this'll get better... Hopefully I won't actually find that the T increases anything...

Sorry... Silly question, I know... It's just one of the few things I'm legit uncomfortable discussing with people IRL...

I don't know, but I do know that testosterone makes you able to tolerate more pain.
Maybe you can tolerate being tickled more too.
I think, in general, males can more easily suppress emotions like happiness, and laughter, where as women are more controlled by their hormones.
