Mtf transitioning. Anyone else sexual orientation change?

[Cristyjade30]

 Ok I'm about 10 months in to my transition, I'm very happy so far, I'm losing my muscle, I have my voice or I found it rather; I still have muscle to lose but most people don't seem to notice. I recently discovered boys.... and there's been two thatvteally got me. One fromwyoming and one from Oklahoma City. I am at the transgender weekend at okc, at the habana. Mostly cds I think I seen one other transsexual here. So I meet this guy who says he is not gay or a chaser at one of the many clubs here, from what I understand straight people come here also to the clubs. He was definitely curious but I was honest with who I was with him up front, and he didn't run away. He was older than me I'm 33 he is 39, he was definitely cute and sexy, but I would have went home with him, but he was the perfect gentleman, he held doors for me and wouldn't take advantage of me bc I was a little drunk, even tho he could have had what ever he wanted from me and I prob would have let him. He had me from the start, this is the first time I really liked a guy😖, I've like one other but not like this. He is coming back tonight to see me, ->-bleeped-<- do I do? I don't have srs yet,
I'm still drunk but he has me spun bad. I used to be solely attracted to just girls, but he had me all over him by the end of the night, i am curious did hrt turn any of you more straight ? As into guys bc I am going straight and it kinda scares me but I kinda like it. And know I was never ever ever into guys. I never wanted to be. And yet here I am several months into hrt and I was puddy in his hands. And he was slick to, the kinda guy who could probably get any girl. I'm like ->-bleeped-<- me on top of everything else.. some one help my heads is all screwed up from tonight. Thanks

I'm still on my early stages of transition to state about any orientation change.
But if it only depends on me and no biochemistry influences my tastes, I'd totally stick to girls.
Guys scare me, make me feel uncomfortable and most of the time they've got an unpleasant smell... 

[Cristyjade30]

He smelled really nice, lol. I was scared of guys also, didn't like them bc they all think with there little soldiers first and foremost. I am just wondering who else had there orientation change? Bc I definitely did. Is it normal??? I seem to like guys all of a sudden and I seem to be liking them more than females in some aspect, he drove me to my hotel and walked me to my room and I wanted him to come in, he knows he could have, but he didn't. It kinda turned into a date bc we talked about everything. Ugh these hormones have me girlish as hell. Lol,

I have been on hrt for about 8 months and have definitely noticed a shift in sexual orientation. I was really caught off guard when I met this guy at my new job. He was handsome and had a great personality, unfortunately he was already engaged. I got past it, but I'm still blown away by the attraction itself when I was completely into other women before. It's amazing the changes hormones can cause.

It can happen, because it happen to me, absolutely no interest in men before transition, then the new attention, felt weird at first, then holding hands with my new boyfriend, it felt so different and strange, then that first kiss, it was like OMG I'm kissing a man, I just went with my new orientation, I did eventually married a man, he is still my husband now for over 7 years, married longer than some of my friends

I fooled around with a guy for the first time (in my adult life) in January. The thought of it never grossed me out, I just felt indifferent to the idea. I was happy to explore it but I ultimately I wasn't into it. I've been on HRT for 18 months now and yesterday I fantasized about Jordan Barrett. So, yes?

[natalie.ashlyne]

Yes I am finding my self more attracted to males, their smell, personality, looks, attitude definitely turn me on. I want to try to go on a date with a male but I have been total scared. I now picture myself marrying a male which I never thought of that before.

I cannot honestly or completely say mine has changed. For almost forever about the only way could orgasm during sex was to get deep into my fantasy of being the woman with a guy. Yet, I was never physically attracted to guys. Back in my 20's during my transition experiments, the reality of being with a guy was not at all like the fantasy.

Today, some 8 years in on HRT, guys are totally cute, even sexy looking. I don't know how many dreams I've had with me in a relationship with a guy. Even scarier is being sexually aroused by it. Something that hasn't really worked in a while. One of my wife's big fears is as I learn more and more just who the real me is, is that I would dump her for a guy.

She did warn me that hormones will mess with your head

I'm just beginning exploring transition. Since I was little, I have been attracted at times to some of my friends and a couple of hot guys I saw on the street. It hasn't happened much, maybe 5 times in my life. Also, I was in a movie theater once at about 10 y.o. I remember seeing a girl give this guy a BJ when they thought it was dark where they were. I remember wanting to be her, not just giving him a BJ, but being her doing it. Those kind of feelings have never left me though women turn me on more and I'm married with kids. I think I could switch over if I transitioned. I think my gender identity also includes "straight woman".

    I am nearly 5 months on HRT and this is a question that has been on my mind I am not sure how things will go as at this time I have absolutely no sexual interest in any gender I have no idea where this road will take me but I must accept what will be

The more I think about it the more I feel that I do want to try to date a male and see if I could be happy yes I am very curious to see what it is like.

[Michelle_P]

Well, I thought I would be oriented solely towards women, that is, transition would have me becoming a simple lesbian.

This... turns out not to be the case.  I find that I am also attracted to some other trans and queer folks, not identifying as women.  There was one person I met several weeks ago, with a lovely red beard and red-orange hair on their legs that keeps popping back into my fantasies.

I may be a bit more open than I thought I would be.  A nice or kindly individual is more attractive than someone who is purely a good looking woman.

This may get interesting over time.

I was mainly straight as a guy but had flings with men. It's more 50/50 now, I have rice I want noodles next time! I'm probably more comfortable being bi though it's a long time since I was in a relationship (12 years).

[Sarah_P]

I've known I was bi for quite a while, but I've yet to actually get together with any men. I just could never imagine myself being with a man, as a man. Then again I wasn't really comfortable with women as a man, either. I still know I'm bi, and would like to explore both sides of that now that I've accepted being a woman.
I also realized that I'm actually attracted to one of my male friends. Many things I did make me wonder why I didn't realize it before - I'd stick close to him in stores while other friends wander off. If he wasn't available to hang out or whatever, I usually wouldn't bother contacting anyone else either. I usually got him better birthday & christmas presents than my other friends, etc...

I see people mentioning guy's smell. I haven't noticed it yet. Then again, I've worked in a public library for the last 12 years & learned quickly not to smell people.

Well my experience so far is yes the hormones can help shift your feelings on the other gender. Before transition, I as well did not like sausages. As time has gone by though I am finding an attraction to guys as well. I have specific tastes in them and it probably comes from my own gd to an extent. Like I don't like hairy men at all, big turn off. So I think the hormones do affect your brain chemistry to be attracted to the opposite gender. This is not 100% the case with everyone though. So don't feel too turned around and confused, you can always feel out a first date with someone.

Maybe being yourself has awaken the dormant sexual interest you've always had for men?
Ive always liked men with a few girl crushes along the way. But im more of a straight woman i think

So, did the guy come back? What happened?

[pretty pauline]

Some men smell stronger than others, if you get close to a man you will definitely notice a sweaty smell, when I'm close to hubby in bed I get a sweaty odour, but it's not unpleasant, it's just the smell of man, he sometimes uses a deodorant for men to mask it and that smells nice too.
Somebody else mention hairy men, most men are hairy, some more hairy than others, doesn't bother me ether way, hubby has a forest of hair on his chest, I sometimes run my hand thru it lol, hairy or not hairy, it's not important, a caring unstanding man who knows how to treat a woman is most important of all.

[kelly_aus]

Yes, people do notice a change in sexual preference during transition, it's not unusual.. But please refrain from pointing the finger at hormones specifically, as there is no science to support that claim - and some that says it doesn't happen..

So if you want to claim hormones changed your sexual preference, the challenge is to provide scientific evidence to support the claim..

It's almost certainly a latent or repressed interest that existed pre transition..

It's almost certainly a latent or repressed interest that existed pre transition..

I know for my part that just by going through this and categorizing my feelings more, I've started to see gender (of others) as less relevant. Sort of like the experience of being(rather, recognizing I am) trans has shifted me to a bit more pansexual approach. But then I always was a bit confused on the issue to begin with (when I was in male mindset, I rationalized I was attracted to femininity and that I could be attracted to feminine guys).

Also, the idea of masculine on masculine grosses me out. That may be part of it too. Perhaps it's something like that as we (for MTF, not meaning to exclude the guys here  ) become more physically feminine, it opens up that room to allow for attraction to the masculine. I hated the thought of being a guy with a (masculine) guy, but being a girl with a masculine guy is my dream.

Though one argument for the hormone thing, sort of: Increased sensitivity to smell may mean increased sensitivity for whatever passed for human pheromones. May not be literally "hormones = attracted to men", but they may actually be a physical trigger that allows for that attraction to be realized. (In other words, it may not be that estrogen makes you like men, but that you wouldn't like men without estrogen simply because you lacked the means to find out. Does that make sense?)
