I don’t feel very good right now. I’m one year and some change on HRT. It’s been a wonderful experience so far and I love being a girl. I know that I’m trans, and I’m reminded by “why” every time I go home and I’m forced to boymode.

Unfortunately that’s little comfort to the complex feelings of starting to feel erectile dysfunction (ED). I just had sex with my trans girlfriend and she didn’t have much left. I can’t ignore this feeling I’m on that same path eventually.

I want some sort of function either male or female. Even though I still wish I was born with a vagina. It pains me to even think about going off HRT though. I love being a girl too much and I don’t think I could present fem without HRT. I still have most all of its function but it doesn’t stay up for as long.

It’s a completely irrational feeling that I hope will be solved eventually with SRS, but that’s probably 10 years away and I just learned how to be sexual 2 years ago.

    Without testosterone, you lose those involuntary night-time erections and thus lose capacity to hold as much blood and thus to be as erect

    Nobody told My body that! I was on HRT for five years before I had bottom surgery, and I got boners all the time! It was super annoying

    And I’m not some high T alpha male, I’ve never been able to grow a beard, thankfully

      What’s your secret then? I don’t think my testosterone is particularly high, but I actually don’t want to loose function because I get way too much use out of it.
