So ok, want to preface with I'm transitioning come hell or high water. 

But so ok I've got two questions, from what I've read.  It's a before and after thing for both.

Before HRT did you get , um in the mood often?  And after how often?

Before HRT Could you/did you want to get off, and after?

  Ok and a third question, Is it true that after HRT it's um diffrent?  you know whole body, not as the ftm's put it, all glands?

Most things are YMMV and this is no exception.. I know for me, before hrt I felt the urge constantly. After hrt I still feel it frequently but it is very easy to ignore it. as for orgasms, it has changed a lot for me... after the 7 month mark I started having multiple "peaks" during orgasm and I have less control over my body and voice during.

I have found that intimacy can be just as fulfilling, if not more, than getting my nut off. I have to agree with Jane, I've noticed that I get this arousal from deep withing, and it washes over me in waves. And I just cannot keep quite, now. But, remember, YMMV.

The whole body thing... not so much what I have noticed is the less of them you have the more intense they are so that might be why it seems more intense for females as they tend to masturbate less often, And yes if your prone to ignoring the thing for months at a time they can be intense enough to wrack your whole body as your libido will drop on HRT as that is linked partially with the male hormone testosersone.

Least mine did it's significantly lower now. The general sensation is the same, (somtimes more painful tho at first as it dose atrophy somewhat) some of the pleasure accociated with it is in the fluid movement of jizzing. whitch I can't really do now as you loose the ability to ejaculate. On the plus side no ejaculation means no refractory period thus you can have mutiple orgasms but it's difficult to get that motivated on your own I find on account of the lower libido.

I can agree with most of what's been said already. Its different! But How? Its very hard to put into words, but I sincerely doubt you'll be disappointed. Its sort of 90˚ different.. and the Waves thing is very much my case. Multiples is good and my lover really enjoys putting me through it. I used to have a wee bit of totally clear ejaculate for a while and even that sort of faded away. I have had an Orchiectomy but not vaginoplasty. My libido hasn't changed much, but is definitely different in perspective. Your results may vary--

hope this helps-
Lexi-

Before hrt, rarely in the mood, rarely got off, even when married. Probably contributed to a lot of problems in both marriages, actually.

After hrt, still pretty much the same, and even before hrt, I had given up on relationships, so its not really that much of an issue to me. Kind of wondering if it will change after I have surgery, but prepared mentally if it doesn't.

Hehe, I am 8 and a half months into hormones....and they have been different for a while.

They are way way way way way way better than before. SOOOO much more powerful and longer lasting and involved...

I don't get as frisky as I did before... but sometimes I play around and make myself frisky just because the ending is so much fun (hehehe).

But, even with the big added bonus... my priority with a guy now is the closeness first and the sex 2nd (instead of before where it was the other way around...both important, just sex was more important then).

my body does involuntary things post-op that it never did before.  strange when it happens. but nice. 

Damn it now there another reason I can't wait to start.  xD  go know sex isn't my main concern, but if I'm even close to the average I'll love it.  you girl are the best, and thanks for being so open.  I've seen two types a girls talking so I needed to know.  you know the girls that just want to be girls.  vs. the ones that hate to be boys.  If you can follow what I'm thinking.  And it seems like there a link between that and um how much you enjoy your self both, before and after.
