Sex and Stuff...

So I don't even know if this is an appropriate thing to discuss, but I realized I won't be able to lose my virginity until I'm at least 18. You know, when I can access SRS. And that's the minimum! It kind of makes me afraid to start a relationship... I don't think I can talk about this in the teen section, so here I am in the adult section :P

I've never really thought of this because I was more worried about how I feel, but it's something to consider. Have you gals ever wondered how different things would be after SRS? I mean, what was going through your mind if you have already lost your virginity as your birth-gender? I feel too awkward to have sex as I am now. I mean, my family believes having sex before a sex change automatically invalidates you as transgender, but that can't be right... I mean how does that explain all the married transgals with kids? It's so confusing.

P.S.-

In other news, my mom has agreed to go to a PFLAG meeting called Health TRANSitions with me dressed as a girl! So excited!

i've had sex several times over the years as a man, and while it was pleasurable, it doesn't feel the same as manual stimulation to me.

that's not to say i wouldn't have it again before SRS though. but sex isn't just about yourself, it's about the connection the two of you have together. having said all that, if you're not comfortable with having sex yet, then don't do it until you are.

I lost my virginity at 18 with a girl, i came out at 19, i fooled around with a male at 20, now im 21. Do i see any problems or does it invalidates me being transgender? nope! :P

If i get to be intimate with someone, that isnt going to stop me from going further because im still pre-op. Besides having the experience before the SRS, you will know the difference afterwards and you wont be asking yourself what i could have been when you are already post-op.

Wonderful about your mom and the meeting!

One of the things I frequently have to discuss with people IRL is that being trans isn't about your sexuality, but it can affect it. For instance I have been married and even had a child. Just didn't work for me though really. Never felt right. Lesbian sex feels even more wrong. T has proven to me beyond a doubt I am a straight man. Explains why I have been celibate for decades since my divorce. I didn't have the body to match my sexual identity and orientation.

For some of us it is like that. For others the body doesn't matter and they have satisfying relationships before and after transition and surgery.

I believe this is as highly variable and individual as being trans is. It's more complicated for us but in the end it's important to decide based on what is right for YOU. Because only you can know that and no one else's expectations are valid

Im not sure what kind of relationships you want to explore. First, most cis girls are not interested in fem males . Those that are are also exploring their sex and gender issues. Its good to explore so you understand more of what it is all about. Just be safe about it. Second, Crossdressing realy turns things around. A lot of gay guys and other CD's notice CD's and arn't shy about hitting on them especialy in places like SF.

If it has not happened, it will. That's when you find out how fem you realy are.

First, most cis girls are not interested in fem males.

I have to disagree with that statement whole heartedly. Feminine males attract women just the same as any other male (maybe even more so), especially amongst the younger crowd.

It's been my observation in life that when it comes to attraction there are no hard and fast rules. Except maybe you find what you expect to find most of the time. Or think you deserve deep down. Some people like fat people and some thin, some like macho rednecks and some gentlemen and some like jocks while others prefer fem. Some like same sex, some like opposite and some like everything and everybody. Shoot there are even people deeply in love with buildings.

You just can't say something will or won't happen because it can and has-but sometimes we are blind to what we don't want to see or can't accept for some reason

I believe it is an entirely individual experience. Each of us have our own convictions and preferences. For me, I refuse to do anything with "it" with anyone. I just dont have any desire to have sex until I feel right with myself. I cannot predict the future so I wont say nothing will ever happen though =p. Another issue regarding sex that makes me sad is that, at least, until after srs we cant be intimate with someone without having to share our past. That is a luxury that I think many cis people take for granted.

In the past I had both a girlfriend and a boyfriend. Unfortunately nothing like that happened with them which is fine by me. When I was living as male I tried to be straight even though I knew I was attracted to men. It just didn't work out for me. While I loved my girlfriend deeply on an emotional level I was not attracted to her physically, though she was and attractive woman.

With my boyfriend, he insisted that he was straight, being gay was wrong and of course he was "christian" and yet willing to try and have a relationship with a woman like me. When he tried to get close to me though my regret at not being a complete anatomical female overwhelmed me because I knew that was what he wanted and... well I ruined the moment and it was lost forever. Shortly thereafter our relationship ended.

Now I have a guy in my life, not an official boyfriend yet, but someone I am very close to. He is willing to try and love me as I am. He has always been nothing less than patient and kind with me even on the most difficult of days and even though I have not had SRS... I don't think I'd want my first time to be with anyone else, even with my current physical anatomy.

I think there is definitely a physical virginity you lose, but also a spiritual and emotional one. I don't think it's wrong to say a Transperson can lose their virginity at least twice and I don't think it makes you less trans or less of a woman to enjoy the body you were born with if you can obtain that degree of physical comfort with yourself.

We've all heard of chasers an admirers. I don't think all people willing to be intimate with a pre-op transperson, trans man or trans woman are simply chasers or admirers. I think they just have open hearts and minds and if they're willing to love you as you are, and you're capable of sharing that with them I think that makes things more special in it's way. Not all of us are capable of being intimate pre-op... but when you're someone like me where surgery is years away, does that mean you should wait for surgery or should have to wait for surgery when you have someone who loves you now as you are? Not at all.

Don't give up your virginity until you are comfortable and ready. If you love someone and you want to share that connection with them then it doesn't matter whether you're pre or post op. Sexuality and gender identity are two totally different things. They may impact each other in some ways in regards to Trans people, possibly being able or unable to be intimate with their birth anatomy among other things, but I don't think sexuality or sexual experience has any determining factors in who you are as a male, female or androgyn.

Most people think this is about sex and that is a myth you're just going to have to try and dispell within your family.

Jodie: I do agree with you that younger women are more open to fem guys. I said most are not. If its most are, there is going to be a shortage of us! What the percentages are I don't know. What I think is that in Jess's case, it may be a moot point. There is a big difference between being fem and being trans. Im fem and have been married 37 years and it works for us. Being trans is not a issue as old age comes with that as a bonus! For younger people, that, as we have seen here many times, totaly destroys most domestic relationships.

It would be interisting to know what such young women think about this. How many would say "After we have two kids you can have all the HRT you want darling and take care of them all"!

I use to hate my body, and believed if I didn't have SRS I could never have sex. I accept myself, and I wouldn't feel uncomfortable to have sex now. As long as I don't have to use my genitalia that I have now. . If you use your imagination, without me having to get into detail. There's just so many options. . If I felt comfortable with a person I would now. I've only had 1 boyfriend, and I was to insecure at 15. . But now I'm sure things would be different.

I don't think it invalidates being transgendered at all. I personally want to experience sex both with my male body, and my post-op female body because I think it would be interesting to know what it's like for both sexes (as well as to figure some stuff out about myself). The way I see it is I want to be able to get intimate with others that I love, but I can't possibly imagine waiting however many years until I've fully transitioned to do so. I just need a little more time to feel comfortable

Also that's great to hear about your mother and the meeting :)

Hello Jessica, if someone asks and you do not want to do it, then just say NO. That's it. Some girls are happy that they waited, others not. It all depends what you want.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
