[Guest nymphblossom]

Although it was written for adolescent girls, it is a nice basic FAQ for MTF's:

Excellent resource, Blossom. Thanks for posting this. Very timely for a bunch of us, and written so

even I can understand it.

I love keeping abreast of new developments.

Hey, Blossom!

Way cool, Honey...thanks...

Geez, I coulda used that a few months back when I was buying my first bra with cups!

I had worn a sports bra before to protect the "girls" when HRT was making them ache and hurt so much and my shirt rubbed on the nipples which were VERY sensitive!

Now, I mostly go without except for a night out....

I like to be "loose"......

HUGGS! & THANKS!

You are so welcome! Although many of us MTF's are quite a bit older, our knowledge of the female body and all things feminine is in many ways at the same level as the teens this article was written for.

Oh, how true, Hon.....

We ARE teens in many respects.....like our body changes and many of our emotions....

I sleep with a stuffed animal now (my Ladybug)...never did THAT before!

And many of us being more "mature" still need a primer on this journey.....this is a great one!

Thanks!

How sweet, Donna Jean! The is something very basic about the connection we have through touch. Over the last year, I have found myself curling up behind my wife in bed for a half hour or so before I get up each morning. Just feeling the warm of her body, the beat of her heart, knowing she is next to me...

MY THERAPIST PROMOTED ME!

Last night she said I am now about an 18 year old girl! I was 16 before!

That breast primer is good information! So much of what is available to us as TS is so exaggerated! We are really just young girls developing - the only difference is that 't' poisioning we had all those years!

I lost two inches in my band size this last year,I am now a 34B.

While still a full B,I have to buy new bras.The 36 band rides up,

is far too loose,and doesn't hold in or up my girls like I like them to be.

Oh what a problem to have though huh?Getting smaller and smaller.

Hugs,

Angie

[Guest Elizabeth K]

Oh Angie - how gooooood!

Both the band size and the B cup!

Carolyn Marie DID have two good points there!

All jokes aside this is a very good piece of information for us.

I never liked to be touched by anyone and was extremely ticklish but now I like touching people and them touching me - it is so different and yet I have changed so little otherwise.

I am no longer ticklish and I would love nothing more than to get another back rub but I don't think that Donna Jean can reach me from there and I just cannot find any site or application that accommodates touching.

Skype is lacking as it only accommodates two of our five senses- sight and sound, no touch, taste or smell (that last one might just be a good thing!)

Love ya,

Sally

Please don't be offended, Cami. I know the MTF's on the forum span a wide range of ages and was intentionally careful to say "many." I just didn't want older people to think the article was worthless because it was written for a younger audience.

Sincerely,

Blossom

I did the math 38B!

(Must cross arms more often ay work....)

(Must buy looser shirts...)

Just feeling the warm of her body, the beat of her heart, knowing she is next to me...

I absolutely cannot get through the day without at least half a dozen cuddles from my wife. I love to curl up with her in bed and if she gets up before me will often hug her pillow against me which has the lingering traces of her perfume and to lie in the warm depression she has left on the mattress.

Until I moved back in with my wife, I slept with my teddybear... but its much nicer to have your arms around a warm body
