Random Question About T


Guest Drew

Recommended Posts

hey there. i had gotten to thinking about something rather random about the effects of T. i was on the personal website of another FTM and reading his section about what T had done for him. he wrote that since he had been on T he had noticed alot more belly button lint, this was also true for me and i was wondering if anybody else had had this experience and if anybody knew why this might be? i'm sure it sounds like a rather strange question but i was just curious.

lol god I love this place lol....nope, all clean. But I do wanna hear what everyone else has to say too.

But I did hear some non-textbook responses too. I actually like hearin those cuz sometimes you'll be wonderin "is it the T?-nah, it couldn't be" and guess what? It is. Cuz others are havin the same stuff. Example: episodes of aching joints. Not severe or anything but enough to notice. I thought was just me cuz I knew I had arthritis too but another ftm experienced it, checked with his brother -a bio male- and the brother said "yeah, thats normal in bio dudes when they start puberty some of em".

Or sore throat feeling as opposed to the standard "cracking voice".

Or S/O's getting bent out of shape because the crotch area starts smelling like a male crotch area....

That's strange, I noticed that as well recently, but never really thought it was a result of T. Maybe it is if other people have noticed it as well. I just find everywhere starts smelling bad quicker ever since I started testosterone.

And as much as I have in past always had it on my list when people said "why do you like women?"- one of the answers when describing "everything about her" was the smell, both overall and between their legs . For some reason I guess subconciously I pinned the smell on the "item" but in fact its source is the hormone in relationship to the item. Sooooo same way we get "growth" we get the penis smell is what I conclude.

that's funny 'cause I never even thought about it to much, but I do have more lint in my belly button and mybe it is the hair (i have a very hairy stomach) or maybe it's the change in the shape of my body. i did notice when I first started T that my smell changed not just down there but everywere. I sweat more and have to take more showers. My wife says I smell like boy all the time, I like that.

On T are you sweating any more? That might be helping to catch lint.

That's what I was going to say. I've been sweating a lot more. Also, as Martin mentioned, the extra hair probably helps catch stuff too. Sweat + hair = belly button lint.

Drew, I totally know what site you are reading. It's a good one. That guy kept some awesome and complete records.

      That's good, glad things will resolve on their own. 😉

      @awkward-yet-sweet, bummer about the road trip that isn't. Next time!   @KymmieL, good luck with the job hunting, you deserve it.   @Birdie, I'm happy for you that you have a new connection who seems so supportive!   @Ivy, enjoy!   The issue I referred to in my little grizzle the other day looks like it will resolve itself without conflict. Everything is good. 🙂

      One of the reasons that I hesitated to sign up to this forum originally was because I couldn't think of a femme name for myself. That stems from the fact that I wasn't seeking one, and still don't, although lately I have become a bit curious.   My username has geographical and astronomical connections. It is an indigenous word that describes the Southern Cross constellation.

      Again, thank you for these posts @Sally Stone. As a person just embarking on their own exploration, seeing through an eagle’s eye is invaluable. I can understand the desire to compartmentalize. I’m coming out at 47 and have several military affiliated friends. I never served myself but know them via hobbies we share. I’d be nervous about coming out to those whom I didn’t know very well, but some I do know better are openly ‘queer’. Meeting these people definitely challenged my existing stereotypes about the military in a positive way; more regarding those who comprise the services as opposed to stated protocol/mission.

      I had heard a little about this, but not much. Thanks for posting it.

      Can definitely relate. I always have something going on, whether it be painted nails, capris or just ‘a walk’. Just a reminder ‘she’ is there.

      Sounds delish so far. Today I made sourdough bread for the first time. My friend gifted me starter grains she got from etsy which came with a recipe. Giving someone sourdough starter as a gift is like giving a pet as a gift. Kind of a weird thing to do - somehow enriching, but, "here's your gift, more responsibility!" Anywho, it's a 3 day process to make this bread on top of feeding the starter weekly. It definitely needs some tweaking. The bread consistency came out great. Crusty crust and soft inside. But it didn't rise enough despite seeming to be proofed well. And I followed the instructions to make it as sour as possible which I prefer, but it's only mildly sour. I plan to try other recipes and compare. But my cousin who (willingly, lol) took some of my starter told me she recently made pancakes with it which were delicious. So I'll definitely try that soon too.

      Latest good recipe find? Lemme see...  I'm trying to recreate a local family restaurant's refried beans at home.  Right now it's kind of hit or miss (Mostly miss) on coming close to it.  Currently I'm tweaking the ratio of beans, bacon fat and smoked paprika and lime juice.  Current ingredients I've been able to sus out though are: Pinto beans, shredded colby jack cheese, bacon fat, smoked paprika, chipotle pepper flakes, diced onion, garlic and a lil bit of salt.  When I feel comfortable with the exact amounts, I'll update.  ^.^

      I have Church of Scotland roots: my grandfather was a C of S minister.  So quite apart from my general happiness at reading some good news, this particular bit of good news makes me feel especially happy.  Thanks for sharing it, @DeeDee!
