HornyðŸ§

as another trans guy i can confirm, T took my libido from "mid, horny sometimes" to "I GET HORNY EVERY DAY AND IF I DON'T FIX IT I LITERALLY CANNOT FOCUS", in the span of like, no time, literally started with the first or injection
welcome to the club my man. don't get me wrong it can be annoying but I'd rather have a never ending boner for the rest of days than have one period. I'm cis so I've never experienced it myself but i have enough women friends (and a wife) to know i wouldn't want it for a day.

Me (a man):
Wakes up... "Hmmm. I really have to pee."
My brain: "Horny! HORNY NOW!"
Me: "What?! No! Why??? Ughhh!!"
Finnastride can help with this according to Hasanabi.

lmao same, dysphoria was the strongest during periods i hated them with a burning passion. T just made them stop, which is amazing.

it's not exactly the same as a full understanding but my transmasc friends labido in the first year of T was much worse than my first year of E (so far atleast).
The labido of a teenage boy is fucking INTENSE, all they do is think with their dick (well not in my friends case lol). However my emotion regulation is WAYYYY worse than his was, I am a blob of emotionally distraught tears.
neither of us would get off HRT for the world though.
*at least.

I'm a woman and I disagree
No, pyre is correct.

*at least.

(as an example of emotion regulation I wrote out a passive aggressive paragraph of why language changes over time and it's not a crime to shorten 2 words, before realizing you were probably not being rude with it
🥲) -
i feel this is usually a bigger problem when you have a dick.
that's a common belief, but it varies a lot by individual, with many women having higher sex drives than men

yeah but now i have two people with reference points to both feminine and masculine hormonal makeup that agree with my assumption so I'm gonna believe them more...
... not because they have unique perspectives but because they reaffirm my previously held beliefs
...damn that's a pretty good reason.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]i actually wasn't talking about men vs women; i was talking about having a dick vs not, specifically because of having to deal with a boner during the day... but apparently some trans people who start taking T can get overwhelmed with how much it horns them up so i don't know; maybe it's anecdotally true even.
other than that I've always believed it's (at least mostly) social conditioning though.
edit: i got too excited to clarify that i forgot to check your link before i responded. i gotta say it's not really challenging the idea (that I wasn't trying to suggest originally).
first of all it says
On average, men have higher sex drives, but about a third of women have a higher sex drive than the average male.
so it's already suggesting that it's not a myth.
second of all the way it phrases things seems to target people who don't understand what averages are: it gives as an example on average men are taller but there are women who are taller than men. well duh... that's how averages vs exceptions work. that doesn't mean "neither is taller, it's totally random" it still means men are taller on average.
of course if the rates it gives are true, the exception being a third of women is quite significant.

having to deal with a boner when you don't want it is an annoyance.

Actually this is really good place to share the knowledge I'm too embarrassed to share irl!!
I'm trans (MTF) and it doesn't really happen randomly the same way it did before hormones. The only time I get an erection is when I try to, and even then sometimes it's difficult 🥲.
You are essentially required* to masturbate 1 or 2 times a week or else the tissue will disintegrate due to not being used, 'morning wood' is what the body does naturally to stop this but on Estrogen it doesn't happen. Some choose to apply testosterone gel to help in this, but it hasn't been an issue for me.
Also with decreased labido it's really easy to forget about it and apparently hurts when you do it again which I'm kinda scared of tbh.
*'required' is subjective, but it's not really reversible and also a working penis is ideal for getting bottom surgery and most people want to have good chances for bottom surgery ...also sex too lol

The researchers propose to measure affect in terms of how easily you get aroused when faced with a sexual stimulus or situation. Likewise, behavior involves the frequency of sexual acts. And finally, cognition has to do with how often you think about sex.
that's actually really interesting that there's different categories of sex drives

New version with more pixels and not cropped
Really? That's sus. Seems more likely you just posted an older version and the newer one is a modified version OP posted.

This post did not contain any content.
So about two years ago, my libido switched to working not at all. Its previous stage was working-half-assed for most of my adult life. Psych-meds were (and probably still are) a factor.
I kinda hoped it's going to be wheeee! I'm ace! GARLIC BREAD!
Alas, no.
But I now have two noteworthy phenomena:
The first is I'll look at something erotic. Usually porn. There's lots of porn available, and my brain goes this is important. It means something to me and tries to decipher it like a 70s era acid rock album cover or a Salvador Dali painting. It's not titillating... not quite. It's like someone gave me a post-hypnotic suggestion years ago and I accidentally came across the triggering image, but that subconscious code is faint and sepia now and gives me strange impulses.
The other phenomenon is when my brain goes HORNY and I'll look at porn and it skips right over it. HORNY! It's like the zombies deciding Homer Simpson doesn't have enough brains to be interesting, there's no sexy in these curves. Nor these. Nor these. Everything is all wrong! This is super frustrating, and sometimes I'm compelled to keep looking for the stimulus that has the right pins in the right order to turn the lock.
I understand Leon now, Nothing is worse than having an itch you can never scratch!
Sadly this was a factor in my separation with my wife. We still see each other once a week for dinner. It's a zesty blend of complicated and tragic, the kind that happens while
society collapsesTitanic sinks. -

That’s one of the reasons I’m worried about transitioning. I’m already horny more frequently and intensely than any dude I’ve ever dated. Adding more testosterone to the mix sounds like a bad idea

It’s very much like height, where it’s correlated, but not restricted to people with lots of testosterone (more relevant than having a dick). And it really sucks being Trijntje Keever.
