Almost 1 and a half month on hrt and I have some concerns....


Luna Gonzalez

Recommended Posts

I'm 21 years old and in 2 days I take my 6th shot of estradiol, and I'm currently taking t-blockers everyday. I've noticed some strange changes on my sexual behavior and I'm wondering if anybody felt this way, or is feeling this way. So the story goes a bit like this, I'm dating this super cute girl that I like a lot and most of the time I don't feel the same sexual desires as before I started hormones. The thing is whenever I feel this sexual desire and I masturbate the orgasm feels QUITE different. It is much more intense; I remember that before starting hormones the orgasm focused on the genitals and it lasted like 3 seconds. Now that I am taking hormones every time I have an orgasm it goes all the way through my body and it's so intense that may whole body even cramps. This orgasms I'm experiencing last like 10 seconds with the cramps and like 30 seconds until I am able to chill a little bit. 

Another change I'm seeing is that even tho I'm taking the hrt, I'm still feeling really sexually active, super different than before, but still pretty much active. 

Is anybody experiencing or experienced something like this? I'd really like to know

I would suggest discussing with your provider and be honest as hormones vary widely and affect different people differently. So check with your provider and see if adjustments are needed or if your regimen is right for you and those are expected results.

In general, injectable hormones are more potent and may result in stronger reactions that either pills or patches, because you're getting a much bigger dosage all at once.  That may be why you're getting these strong reactions.  I agree with @Shaythat you need to follow up with your doctor and give her all the details.

What @Shay and @Carolyn Marie said about seeing your doctor, but yeah, that's about the same result I got. It took longer, but I'm older and on oral.

I had read that with HRT involving T blockers and estrogen the orgasms are more intense and last longer.  After my divorce from my first wife at age 22 I got involved with a woman who like feminine men. She was on the butch side and her "butchyness" seems to fluctuate with her cycle. She had a lot of experience "pegging" gay and bi males. I had the most intense body rush orgasms like the ones you describe when she pegged me. Whether your orgasms will change is probably unknown and your libido may change as the T blockers and estrodial kick in more. 

 

Maybe what's happening is that you are -visiting- so hard that it is causing cramps. You could also be deficient in some minerals and electrolytes. Ask your MD to check for that. I've had muscle cramps from intense orgasms as well as blood vessels breaking in my eyelids.

Hi! Thank you for telling me your experience. I don't really understand the expression "visiting". Would you mind telling me what it means? Also thank you for the advice

I don't know how the word visiting git there. I didn't write it. I think I wrote the other word for having an orgasm that starts with c and ends in ing. Intense orgasms can cause muscle cramps.

We have an automatic word filter that will filter out and replace any word or phrase that is considered rude, crude or lewd. While this may seem prudish, we do this to protect our younger teen members. Many of whom have parents watching over their shoulder. We keep the site at a PG rating. Please do keep that in mind for any future posting.

you make this sound like a bad thing. sexual satisfaction, whether done on your own or with a partner, is a major part of living and if you are experiencing it better than before...well yay! your body may be reacting to the new hormone intake. i say go for it unless you don't like it. thank you. :)

seems you are doing 'in loco parentis' in order to 'protect' teens from learning naughty words. well guess what.....teens know all of the naughty words you know....and a whole lot more. lol i do understand what you are saying and you do need control of this forum, but it did give me a good laugh. lol thank you. :)

I'm not a mod or admin, but by my understanding, I think the bigger problem is the transphobic or otherwise overly prudish parents who would see a (gasp!) "bad word" or "naughty subject matter" (!) and react by trying to ban their teen from getting help here, or maybe even bar them from other lgbt+ safe spaces, or otherwise use it as fuel againt their teen or against the overall trans community.

 

It's an unfortunate need, and I know I had a hard time getting accustomed to it, but it is what it is. Besides, I imagine the alternative would probably be to make the forum 18+, and that would be a far bigger disservice to trans and trans-questioning teens.

I don't know about the cramps, but aside from the cramping, the rest of it sounds to me like everything I've heared about the difference between male orgasms and female orgasms. I'm not on hrt yet myself though, so I don't have direct personal experience here.

 i don't think i've experienced either strictly male or strictly female orgasms so i wouldn't know the difference. maybe something in between? but the ones i have had since i was able to achieve them 10 years or so ago have always been fantastic. and my doctor has always told me to either 'use it or lose it'. so i use it. a lot! lol i personally think sexuality is as much mentally/emotionally driven as it is hormonal. so just keep good thoughts in your head as you do whatever it is you do! lol anyhoo that's my take on the subject of orgasms. lol thank you. :)

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
