Effects of HRT on genitals


Amelia3

Recommended Posts

Hello. My name is Amelia, I'm 17 years old and right now I'm on my way to find a therapist and start HRT. I have researched lots of information, but there's still one. It's a bit embarrassing for me. I'm about "that thing" between, well, legs. Somehow I'm very worried about what will be with it. The only information I found is that it could not erect and will stop produce a "male genetical liquid" when you started HRT. But what about minutiaes like for example size, sensitivity, structure, behavior, and so on? I would like to know it in advance, so I will know what to expect and won't panic.

Hey Amelia! The bad news is that we're all different. I can tell you that personally, I experienced a lack of spontaneous erections (thank the Goddess). I could still get aroused if I wanted and bring myself to orgasm when the mood stuck. It struck less often. More like once or twice a week instead of the "Right now would be good" that I'd been dealing with since puberty. While I didn't measure output, it looked about the same as it did pre-HRT. I'd been on HRT for about a year and a half when I fully transitioned and had my vaginoplasty. I did not lose sexual function at any point during that time.

 

I can't speak for "male fluid viability" if you were looking to freeze a sample though. I had a vasectomy WAY back in 1994. I'm told that viability suffers as the testes shrink. I didn't suffer from much of that either. I guess they got a little smaller, but not enough that you'd notice unless you were really familiar with them.

 

Size didn't change, but I understand that it can if you don't have erections frequently enough. Part of the reason that I had GCS as quickly as I could manage was that I wanted the doctor to have as much tissue to work with as possible. There are girls here who were on HRT longer than I was before GCS who I'm sure would tell different stories.

 

Hugs!

After three years on estrogen I still get erections but they are less frequent and my sex drive has gone down. I still had ejaculate for a few months after starting estrogen but it was clear instead of white. Now I have almost no ejaculate.

What eventually kick started my transition was being my Testosterone had all gone! I was told I had less than a newborn baby girl. I was put on Testosterone injections and was told I would feel like a new man. I left the doctors and went and sat in my car. I cried for the first time in years. I didn't want to be a man! I never had the jabs, and so I've become quite androgynous. I've grown breasts and my muscle turned to flab. I want Estrogen, but some other health issues keep sending me to the back of the queue. 

 

Anyway, I do have shrinkage and haven't had an erection in twelve months. Or even felt the need to get one, however, May 7th 2019 (yes, I keep a diary), I had a terrible pain inside my groin. I had severe horniness- I wanted something in me. hard to explain and due to the lack of erection, felt like I could do nothing about it. My testicles had pins and needles. it was painful. But after some *cough. Self care, I shot a load. It felt like a build up, and it hasn't happened since. It was confusing and awkward.

 

Not sure if its the lack of hormones, or my Diabetes, but I've lost 4cm in height and my feet shrank a full size in the past four years. Sadly, my doctor refuses to talk about such things so I've never found out what and why? Currently saving to speak with a specialist.

I'm about 2.5 in to hormones. I can still manage to get a erection, and when I want to for now. Insted of it doing its own thing. I'm still doing the business some times once a day, or every two to three days. It depends on my mood. Compared to a male sex drive. My current sex drive is more mood based. If I'm happy sure why not. If I'm not super happy. Its a no go. Unlike my male one. I swear as a man. I probably could have gotten off after being fired from a job, given divorce papers, and my dad dying all in one day.

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?

      Congrats to your family on the new addition!

      Funny you think that I would be able to get through more than two sentences with how bad my stutter gets (joking, of course)   My topic would probably be mythology, random Japan factoids in my mind, or a favorite story   (Best option would be a fave story of mine including a lot of factoids on Japanese myths-)

      Congratulations @ivy. Nothing beats a family growing two feet at a time!
    • April Marie
      I read each of your entries and learn so much. Thank you, especially, for the TransCentralPA info. I have been looking fora group and activities where I could express myself safely and with support. I missed this year's conference but next year might be possible and I am going to look at their other events, too.

      Leadership and Management, the differences and similarities between the two as well as the applications of military leadership principles across the spectrum of professions.
